    Week 25, 2022 Almost 20 days since last relapse. Going pretty well. This week was for sure the hardest once again. Was fairly close to a relapse this weekend but now I seem over it - still cautious though. Week 25 and 26 was and will be a struggle.

    Week 24, 2022 Almost 14 days free after last relapse. Feeling great. Almost no urges so far since last time but I also know the upcoming two weeks will be the hardest for me to overcome. Brainbuddy has helped me a lot but I need to get even better to use the in-app tools.

    Week 23, 2022 Back on the plan. Signed up for Brainbuddy which has helped me a lot. Focuses on achievements, learning and meditation. Currently almost 7 days PMO free. Feeling I have better ways to handle urges now since the app has been helping me with meditation.

    Yeah it sucks. I still see and sense improvement though so that's positive. I definitely think drinking is messing with my brain and lowering my guard. So many of my previous relapses has been after drinking. I don't think it's the worst kind of relapse because it's sort of a one and done kind...

    Well.. So.. I fucked up last night and today and relapsed. I kinda recognize a pattern. First of all my relapses seems to be further apart which is nice and the afterwards binging is lesser and lesser each time so thats a plus. One of the things I've noticed now is that almost all of my relapses...

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I absolutely believe it's beneficial or even crucial to keep your mind busy and ajour with the harmful effects of porn. Especially in the initial phase after a relapse. Personally i feel like my brain almost everyday is having an internal fight or flight...

    Week 20, 2022 Week 2 completed. Bit stronger urges in the end of this week. No relapses however. Was fairly busy all week which might have played a factor. Going strong. When I get urges I try and tell myself the quote of Jordan Peterson: "It's an easy way out". I don't want to persue the "easy"...

    So... Guess it's time for me to make a journal and starting to write down about my successes and failures dealing with pornography. I'm 26 years old and I started to watch pornography in my early teens. Discovered in May 2020 that it was a bad habit and horrible for my brain and health. I...
