The first 5 or 6 weeks are the hardest ... I remember. Not that I'm saying it's easy after that. It's just not as difficult. If we can get you through that period ... that's a good thing.
The good news is it does get easier. Keep at it, find better things to do with your time and you will be very pleased at the results. But, a slip here and there doesn't set you back completely. Every few steps we take forward help.Made it through safe. At my son’s soccer game now. Grateful to I’ve Swornoff’s support and this community. : )
I think we all do and that is natural. I don't think any of us should feel bad about seeing a beautiful woman and admiring her. Maybe we shouldn't immediately create an entire porn fantasy around them though! I have to say, this has been one of the harder things for me to do. I don't always imagine them in a porn fantasy per se, but I often wonder what they would look like nude. It's been very hard to stop this. Maybe it's fading along with some of the other images in my head, but yeah, I've got some work to do here.When I see a pretty woman in real life, I like to be able to say, "Man! That's pretty!" And move on.
I've always appreciated femininity. On far more than just a sexual level. Like I do mountains, trees, and flowers. I don't think this interferes with the reboot.
I finished the memo that I was working on but I did procrastinate and felt slippery a few times trying to escape that feeling in my body. Going for a run helped.
