    Choosing Intimacy Over Porn

    Today is 100 days. The longest I’ve ever went! The past 20 days have been a bit harder than the first 80. I am not sure why but I find myself mourning my addiction. However, acting out is not an option. I just have to deal with the uncomfortable feelings and keep open communication with my...

    Choosing Intimacy Over Porn

    Today marks 65 days since I last acted out. Cravings come but are dismissed. What has helped was communication, keeping busy and going to SPAA meetings every week. Make that change in your life. I am already better than I was 65 days ago.

    Day 48 Today no cravings. Just goes to show that these urges are ephemeral. I went to my SPAA meeting and that helped dissolve the cravings. Talking to my sponsor helped too. When my girlfriend came home we talked about it too. I just wanted to update my journal and say the craving is non...

    Day 47 I had a dream I acted out last night. Today I feel urges and question how can I get through this? I am also asking myself "Do you really want to quit this? You love it." That isn't really what I want but I am feeling some type of way. I miss what's bad for me. My life is better...

    37 days! This might be the longest I went without edging and indulging. My first break of almost 3 months I was on IG looking at peoples accounts and edging. This time I am completely cold turkey. The meetings have helped tremendously and I recommend anyone struggling go to SPAA.

    Today marks a month since I last acted out. I feel urges but I know acting out isn't an option. Tonight I will speak with my partner about these urges. Not strong like they used to be. The thoughts haven't accompanied these urges, its mainly just a feeling. Getting through this.

    30 days today. I have a few dreams where I act out but wake up relieved knowing it was only a dream. Today I feel slight urges and I tell myself “I can make it through today”. I also realize that when I was younger every time I’d tell a girl I like her she would embarrass and humiliate me. I...

    So far so good. I had a dream last night I edged and went on twitter. That was my old habit. I was so relieved to find out it was only a dream. Taking one day at a time. 18 days!

    Today I am 14 days porn and edge free. It has been easy to get to this point but now is where the journey begins. I would always begin to feel cravings at this point. I have the accountability software and I’m going to SPAA meetings. I am prepared for the journey ahead.
