Day 14 Despite announcing a daily journal again, I didn’t write here. Good news is, I made it through the first two weeks. The last time I reached 84 days and had a new approach with the “EasyPeasy” method that totally convinced me to never relapse again. I’m running out of new approaches and...

Day 3 The start has been successful so far, I have to find a way out of this vicious circle now!

Day 2 My first goal is to complete this weekend, will go to the gym now and try to make this day as productive as possible.

Day 0 Once again I fell back into the trap. But I do have a choice. My whole life is my choice and I make the choice to quit. I want to and need to finally leave this behind. It works best when I write here on a daily basis and that’s what I’m going to do again.

I didn’t make it much further than my latest entry and it has been day 1 several times since - so is today. I have to get back on track and need to write here to address this problem for myself!

Eleven weeks complete and this is now within my longest streaks ever, but it almost failed last week. Ten days ago I drank too much and had a hangover, MO’d next morning and did so again the same day and the next day. I started to feel this well known “chaser effect” and if I reflect on that...

Thank you very much, SmokenMirrors and HappyNotFappy! I just entered the third month without porn for the first time in 4 years. I said “Porn is not an option.” many times before, but feel that after reading and understanding the EasyPeasy method I finally internalized it and am less likely to...

Thank you very much! I also disappeared, but still do well and look forward to follow your incredible example - you’re an inspiration!

Concerning your relapse I think that your SAA buddy said the right things. You’re still very young and discovered your porn addiction as a problem, which it is. There are millions of men addicted to porn who will never realize their problem, then there are those who realize and consider quitting...

Eight weeks complete, time is passing by very fast lately and I feel great. There are some ups and downs along the road, but putting this into perspective I don’t feel like I’m suffering and I surely didn’t give up anything valuable.

Seven weeks complete, tomorrow will be day 50. That’s half way through my longest streak ever. I’m still feeling very good and went back to exercise last week. Anyhow I failed to reduce my cell phone use and want to improve in this area, starting today.

Good to see, you’re not giving in. We’re in this together and consistency is the key! It’s not acceptable to live with this addiction so we can and we will overcome it, even if it takes years and lots of attempts. I believe in your success!

Thank you very much, Blondie! Today it’s officially six weeks since I last looked at porn or porn subs including sexting. My plan for this week is to go back to the gym and exercise as I haven’t done it lately. Will remain very busy until the weekend and go for the next week of my new life.

Glad to see you’re doing well, keep going, you can do it! Your reflection on money management was really interesting to me as I am really good at it myself and use to look down on those who aren’t. Never thought about any parallels between addiction and money management as I indeed used to...

I’m one day away from six weeks without porn. Since my biggest streak ever in 2019 (100 days clean) I didn’t reach over 40 days again, so this is already my best result in over four years. I don’t do drugs anymore, so there is no replacement as there has been in 2019. When I drink, I manage to...
