    Porn is not an option

    @Blondie I second your recommendation for “no more mr nice guy”. Easy to read and to the point. Have you read “Iron John: A Book About Men” by any chance? Really helped to form my manhood.

    The right way is uphill

    Exactly. I’m not talking about feelings of guilt etc., I’m talking about feeling down, low serotonin down. It was interesting to notice and can be helpful to remember that feeling.

    The right way is uphill

    Day 1 I failed yesterday and starting again. Interesting to see how depressed it made me feel afterwards. Short term pleasure only, not worth it.

    The right way is uphill

    Day 11 - Day 12 How quickly things change. When I started this journal I thought quitting PMO is the most difficult thing. 12 days later I'm full of confidence that I can succeed. Not just quitting, but becoming the man I want to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm under no illusions that I've made it...

    Close to the Edge

    Well done for sharing. I think it's always goof to expose yourself and face the truth. This is also an online culture, guys trying to shake off one of the most difficult addictions. Stay with it.

    The right way is uphill

    Day 8 without PMO. I realise the more I read other people's stories and how the succeed or even relapse and start again, the easier it gets to not let my mind go back to the familiar pattern of PMO. thanks guys, you're really helping.

    The right way is uphill

    @Blondie thanks! I’ve already read “Gates of fire” - a fantastic book. Just finished “2034: a novel of the next world war”, a great and unfortunately very real dystopic novel and I’m half way through “A world undone” about WW1.

    The right way is uphill

    Day 5 & Day 6 I've been keeping myself busy these last few days. Family, friends, work, reading and training. It becomes much much easier when I'm not in front of my laptop procrastinating. Quality time and thinking of the man I want to be. Tomorrow is the first small milestone - first week...
