So I started using this site about June and was doing pretty well and then I got really busy and life got stressful and well I just lost control. I'm not using those reasons as excuses as I very well could have kept myself from relapsing. It started where two weeks in, I would relapse, then one week, then 5 days, and now it's about ever other day. So, it's time I got serious about this. I've got some issues that I need to work through that quite honestly, I used porn and masturbation as an escape to those issues. Porn and masturbation are not going to make the issues go away and it most certainly will not help me in finding a meaningful romantic relationship. So here I go again. For those of you that are religious, I ask that you please pray for me. This is not going to be easy journey for me. I will start with the goal I never did obtain. 30 days without looking at porn or masturbating and then I will go from there.
Hello calo! I can relate to your post. Please know that you are on your way and that quitting PM is hard, but also bring a lot of LIFE in your life! By the way, today I'm also starting with a goal of 30 days and I'm also religious. Please don't hesitate to leave me a message, I can also use some support and I'm willing to offer some support in return!
Calo: Welcome! I'm glad you're back! Under my comment is a link to what has been working for me. I hope it helps.
Welcome back Dude. Im on a personal best 11 days. I did the same pattern of relapse as you did. I found when I got past 7 days it felt like more of a commitment. Its still hard but not like the first 7 days. I downloaded an event counter app. It helped because its a little reminder that is always there when you look at your phone
