    I am on 40 th day.( I need some technical help )
    I have just defeated my urges and come here to write my success story.

    I used to watch porn on Android phone. Though I have deleted all videos from phone, there are still some files of those videos that I can't delete. Whenever I clicked on those files which only possess some Kb data, It shows " Not found" but still they are on my device. Can anyone help how I can delete them permanently? I got triggered by them and broke my 2 longest streak in past.

    I opened my telegram after 2 months. I forgot that I joined in some porn group and didn't leave. As soon as I opened Telegram app, those groups showed up, I just closed my eyes and deleted all. If I had once clicked, I surely would have been relapsed.

    I had search an erotic model unconsciously on Google. I was very close to watch her nudes, but I controlled myself and came here to share my struggle with you.

    No matter, the sun rises or not, But I am not going to quit this time,

    There's an urge on my tail since yesterday evening. I've been trying to evade it, but now I will try a direct attack by talking seriously to myself and making it clear that I'm not interested in this kind of stuff.

    Day zero here.
    It was a good day, for a day zero.
    I decided that I want to start a fast (no food) and first of all I'll eat all the fresh foods that I still have at home

    It's also a matter of hygiene, as I see it.
    Maybe it helps if you just delete all temporary data, like in your browser (in the settings where can also delete history and cookies) and other apps. If that's not enough, it's important to figure out what is where shown so that you can go through the steps to change settings or delete the data. Often a google search can be enough to find out exactly how it's done.
    An alternative would be to secure your important data and then set the phone back to the original settings. That would be a fresh start, but it's some trouble too.
    I'm sure there's a middle way as well (like with a cleaning app) but I'm not a tech guy.

    Day 87

    Took me until today to realise, my confidence is back. Now I’m by no means an extrovert, and believe me I still have awkward moments, but my base level of confidence and positive attitude is higher than ever.

    I’m still getting urges, and I still find it difficult when looking at women, but day by day it gets a little easier. I think the greatest weapon against PMO is defining your own moral code; if PMO/list infringes on what you believe in, then leave it behind and don’t look back.

  10. Day 6 complete!

    I spent most of the day in a fishing sort of mentality, but thankfully I didn't get a bite. There's still time for me to correct my course. Coming up on a week clean, not a bad start...plus I'm facing a very busy week, so I want all the energy, focus, and confidence I can muster. PMO makes me a worse person. I'm far better without it.

    @FantasticReport You can do it! Keep applying what you've learned and don't be afraid to take the necessary steps to avoid this urge. Conquer it!

    St. Raphael, pray for us!

    Day 1
    Super tired, home alone again which is also a trigger.
    I need to get some work done but I need to concentrate for that. My adhd makes that always very challenging. Gonna drink my coffee and see what happens, after I deleted all the games from my computer I'm always a little bit lost, but they had to go.

    19 days – A brave friend, Tom Bombadil, takes notice of your quest and decides to help. He teaches you a rhyme to summon him if you fall into danger within his borders.

    Quest Aid – Song of Bombadil :emoji_notes:


    I feel I have a bit of blue balls randomly and a certain amount of temptation lately. Now that I know the song of Thomas Bombadil I should be safe though.

    Work was tiring and boring. A lot of people leaving and talking about leaving lately which isn't unusual really. I've been more distracted from its mediocrity a bit lately due to the inner stuff I've been focusing on. I'll just keep pushing forward, but I'll have to leave one day.

    I want to do a hypnosis session before I go to bed so wish me luck. I do at least one a day now, but I'm aiming for two.

    Day 400 no PMO. Good day yesterday. I’ve taken my walking to a whole other level (13.9 miles yesterday). I am loving being outside and listening to books and thinking. Also had a nice dinner out with my wife. We are trying to be more intentional about going on “a date” each week. We shall see how long that lasts.
