I am sorry to write this, but just after completing Day 14 last night, thoughts about porn kept hitting for more than 3 hours that I couldn't resist. I relapsed after resisting these thoughts for hours and in less than 10 minutes, 14 days were over. I would have expected that this may happen, it's normal, I have been addicted to watching porn daily or every 2 days. The BIG MISTAKE that I have already come to this thread but just read some old replies, I should have written any thing. Now resetting the counter and I will be more determined bg meditation amd making home workouts.
Don't be sad bro. I know you are brave. You are the one who motivated us all. It happens with me a lot of times. So. Don't blame yourself. 14 days is not a bad streak.

Hello my dear friend, please don't be sorry It's you because we're all here together on this journey, don't sink your head. Be proud of all the progress we made here on this journey, not lastly because of your initial effort. I thank you for that. The rewiring, your brain has done, in these 14 days is already significant and there is absolutely no reason to feel sorry in my opinion. I'm at least on this streak so far because of this group and I'll try to keep us going as long as there is strength in us to overcome our addictions and become free of this porn, in which we slipt in without being our mistake. I remember my last significant streak has bin in December 2019 and it has been 14 days too. It looks like this is some kind of obstacle overcome maybe in this time period. I will at least be aware these days. Keep on going, my friend. It might not be the last time one of us relapses, but as long as we keep on going we did not lose.
Be courageous brother. For someone who watches porn almost everyday to avoid it for 14 days shows that he is capable of untangling, tearing and destroying all the ropes of porn in his life. You are an inspiration to most of us. Remember that we are fighting this together. I see you overcoming PMO.
DAY 16/90 COMPLETED I had a strong temptation yesternight. What I did was to relax and monitor my thoughts at that moment. I realised clearly that it was my mind that wanted to deceive me. I then wrote all that I was feeling at the moment. I wrote about the excitement I would derive if I watched porn. I wrote about the effects that porn had brought on me, the effects it would bring to me if I watched, I reminded myself that no amount of porn could satisfy me. There are so much fetishes and genres that I cannot consume all. These fetishes are harmful, and in abundance. That signifies that it is seeking to destroy me. If that is the case then I don't have to even start at all. I wrote about how I want my life to be. I now compared the effects of watching porn, and what I want to be. What I want to be was far better than the instant gratification that I would get from watching porn, so I was glad to sleep without PMO. There is some calm in writing our thoughts when there is a temptation to watch porn. I suggest that when each of us is tempted, we should relax, and monitor our thought patterns and write them down as they flow. I have observed that as you write how you are feeling, the effects that porn has had on you, the effects that it would have on you if you watch, and the new person that you want to become, the temptation loses its grip on you.
Day (1/90): Completed I will be more focused on creating a healthy routine, I want to repeat the same idea of grouping people for a certain goal, but this time for exercising at home because of corona virus. If anyone could suggest me an application where people can join groups and share their daily progress, I will be thankful. I hope to hear good news from you my friends.
Day (14/90): Completed Let's target these 3 Weeks (Phase 4) day by day contiouss about the big image of change which we carry in our hearts.
Hey brother, keep your head up. Shoot, you saw how I was sulking just a few days ago and talked me out of it! I'll admit, I did fall victim to the chaser effect, so I'm only 2 days strong now, but that puts both of us at the same point!! Keep your head up and keep pushing forward. We're in this together!!
