    Moving Forward

    It's good to be reminded of the Coolidge effect. I think sometimes I am hoping that this will magically disappear one day. But it's something that has to be managed and responded to in a more healthy way. You are right, the explosion is just a moment. I like that - 'explosion' - it kinda...

    Another story - probably the same as everyone else

    I would like to posit that it's not a sad fact Gibbers, but that it's the best of all facts and also in fact very inspiring. And that wherever you are heading, it seems to be a leagues better place than where you were before. I don't know if you are prone to the obsessive thinking that we...

    Escape and never come back

    I just want to say all the best as you are clearly going through it. Please be kind to yourself and forgive yourself. Every even small push that you make in the right direction is a seed for the future even if it doesn't feel like it now. And every moment can be a fresh start no matter where...

    Moving Forward

    Yesterday I managed to note my way out of a shame spiral which I am grateful for. My partner and son are away for a couple of nights at his grandparents due to our conflicting work schedules. Instead of reading, having a bath and getting some needed rest I watched YT until 3am after I finished...

    Thanks for that Percival. My guilt had become self-defeating and I have been going around in circles. Since yesterday I have being saying the word "circle" to myself to note when I am starting to go into a thought/feeling of shame spiral. When I started it seemed to be every couple of...

    Moving Forward

    It's been about 8 months since my big relapse last July. Since then I have had a few slip ups with MO over IG accounts. A couple of months ago I looked at some nude photography (without MO) which wasn't good for me but I thankfully didn't escalate it further. I haven't MO'd for a couple of...

    No PMO Day 160; no MO Day 160 It's been a long time since my last post. I've been meaning to check in for a while but have been putting it off too. Things are going relatively well. I didn't look at porn for around 420 days before a few relapses until around 6 or 7 months ago when a period of...

    No PMO Day 280; no MO Day 11 The other night I Googled [insert celebrity name here] nudes after seeing a video on YT discussing her Onlyfans page. I clicked on the first link. My App blocker stops all 18+ material, and it blocked the link. I clicked on the next two. All stopped. I then clicked...

    Moving Forward

    [No PMO 274; No MO Day 5] After some consideration, and something that @GBS had mentioned to me before, I have decided that my slip in December didn't constitute a full relapse - it was within my outer edges. My gift to myself is that I am restoring my counter. If/when I make it to May this...

    Cheers, TakeActionNow, it's important to focus on the positives everyday. My son entertained us all by biting a slice of lemon, scrunching up his face, laughing and then taking another bite. My partner and I went on a Sunday morning cinema date while we left him with his grandparents for a...

    Moving Forward

    [No MO Day 2] I'm restarting a counter for MO as I did it another time after my last post, and with oil, which marks an escalation in the habit. I also felt a little disgusted with myself for a moment after which made realise I wasn't moving in a direction I'm comfortable with. I am starting...

    Moving Forward

    My partner, son and I are back at home after a lengthy stay away. Old emotions are stirring back up a little; little unresolved clams waiting for some salt on our return. We're trying to not to escalate things, but it's been a day of little things becoming big things. My partner mentioned...
