Chasing My Dreams

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 me a break - the first few days after relapse are usually very difficult for me, so I told myself that it's ok I didn't do as much work. Trust the process :)

: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 so many harms of watching porn, but when the urge comes, I just can't fight back against it.
When I read all the posts from this forum, I see a lot of people trying their hardest to get rid of this bad habit, even after failing for so many times. These stories inspire me to go on, but honestly I don't know if I can do it...

Well... there's only two things you can do. You can beat yourself up about it, or, you can get back up and learn from your mistake and keep on keeping on.

What did you learn? Well, now you know checking blockers is probably not a good idea.

Great job on 10 days. Remember, tomorrow you're not starting over again, you're just starting your streak again. If you do another 10 days porn free, that's 20 days, which is quite the improvement from before.

One day at a time.
I do liked the insight thanks.

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, but quit playing for a while, it’s great to see that I still got it!

Good work, DreamChaser. Whenever you relapse, take some time to reflect: why did it happen? How were you feeling? What were you thinking? What were you doing? That way, you can take steps to do something different next time and avoid porn.
