    Day 1: Not the most productive day, but I’ll take it. One thing that I felt great was that I went outside more. The sun felt so warm and nice, and the breeze of fresh air felt fantastic. I also played some basketball, which I haven’t done in a while. I used to be on the school basketball team...

    :cry: Oh well here goes my streak again. Already back to Day 0... Surprisingly I don't even feel this bad again. Perhaps I'm too tired. I realized my temporary success of achieving a 10-day streak is mostly because of the porn blockers, and my self-control hasn't grown at all. I know there are...

    Hey, it's me again after Day 1! Starting a new streak certainly isn't the greatest feeling ever, but the first day has been ok so far. My productivity definitely took a hit - i was very tired in the morning and felt like my brain couldn't think as fast as it should be. But I told myself to give...

    You're right. There's no point beating myself up about it anymore. It's a bit demoralizing to think about that streak is over, but I guess the progress isn't over. I'll keep going.

    Absolutely terrible. I relapsed. Watched porn. I found something on the internet, and wanted to "test" if my porn blocker can block it. When the blocker didn't block it, my self control completely crumbled... My inner self screamed and warned myself not to watch porn. But porn is just so...

    Updating on the morning of Day 10: The best I've felt in a while! I had a great sleep last night, and I'm starting to become more productive. I'm also noticing a confidence boost when I'm talking to girls :D

    Updating on the morning of Day 9: MOed at night yesterday. Didn't even feel particularly aroused but I just did it... And after that I couldn't fall asleep for an hour, and it felt terrible. My brain is super tired and it feels like it's gonna explode :/ I am starting to realize that perhaps my...

    Updating on the morning of Day 8: Hey, I've made it past a week! This week has honestly been either than I thought. I felt like my body is more relaxed and I have more time to do what I want to do. The most notable side effect is insomnia, but hopefully that will go away in a while. I also...

    Thanks! It's very encouraging to know that there are many of us out here all battling our porn addiction!

    Updating on the morning of Day 7 - I forgot to update yesterday since I was too tired. Insomnia still persists and I'm definitely suffering a bit from the lack of sleep. I also haven't been the most productive for the past few days, and I'll try to adjust that. The good thing tho, is that I've...

    Day 5 has been alright. I slept terribly for the last two days, and dealing with fatigue is very annoying. After MO yesterday, I also feel like my brain is a bit foggy, but perhaps that is also related to the bad sleep. I have finished reading the book YBOP, and I'll continue to educate myself...

    Also, it seems like the Chaser effect is something that I need to be aware of.

    Chasing My Dreams

    I still feel absolutely terrible even though I didn't use porn. Thinking back now, I feel it was completely unnecessary - I wasn't even that horny at that time. I also had a terrible sleep and insomnia seems to be taking effect as part of the side effect of no porn. I don't know what to say ...

    I MOed last night without any porn when I couldn't fall asleep, does anyone know if this counts as a relapse?

    Chasing My Dreams

    I'm already on Day 4! Again, today was relatively easy, but I do notice some triggers. One trigger is the ads that I encountered while reading quora today. It's not even very sexual, but it did make me think about porn. The other trigger is when I was left alone, and my brain is suddenly...
