Now I'm a few hours off six weeks. It's still going well. I've had a few minor temptations (e.g. sex scenes in normal films). But nothing I'd count as a slip - certainly no PMO. So it's all going well.

Almost at four weeks. The plus side, no major challenges: a few minor (and unsought) temptations/thoughts that were easy to put aside. On the negative, still no libido of any meaningful sort. That makes it easier to resist the fairly limited temptations, but I was hoping to see some sort of...

I started using an app called Simple Habit a few weeks ago. The free version has a bunch of (mostly short) guided meditation courses, which so far seem pretty good.

Thanks. That's good advice - my focus is on the positives (getting back to 'normal') - not the negatives (no porn). As far as libido goes, it's been a complete flatline since I started (and before, without the obvious unhelpful 'help'). That has made it relatively easy to get through to Day 23...

Hi there. I'm nearing the end of Day 4! It's a new journey for me. I'll start off by saying writing this is difficult for me. I'm reasonably a good writer (not to mention modest), but I'm very bad at sharing things about me (I use many tricks, including humour and big words, to deflect). But...
