It's already a little tougher today. My intention is strong though. I have quite a lot of hard exercise planned. And I'd like to meditate. I wish you all well. On we go.

I'm a recovering alcoholic and 12 step is very controversial. That doesn't mean I think it isn't right for you. And it doesn't mean it doesn't work for lots of people. I hope you work something out.

I've done a full day. That's good enough for now. It may well be that forums are not a useful tool for me. I emailed the Samaritans on Tuesday and have been in correspondence with someone there since then. It's been very useful for me. I'm grateful for it. Also grateful for exercise...

One hour at a time.

One day at a time.

So that was a bad day... I know very directly what the triggers were. I'm very deep in denial about this thing. That's a very big issue. I'll see how I feel about all this tomorrow.

Thank you GBS. I'll take a look today. I did a day. Today I'll do another day. That's the plan. I'm fairly unbothered by sexual urges thus far, it's boredom and unhappiness that undo me. I'm exercising a lot still. That helps. I have work today. On we go.

Well done Joe!

Thank you TH, and Captain Haddock! I do appreciate that people have shown support. It is why I came here. I haven't read YBOP and perhaps I will. I have read Noah Church's book, which is good and covers a lot of the science. I think he gives it away free now. I also watch his YouTube channel...

Well done!

You're doing so well!

One day at a time for a while I think.

And, I'm afraid I relapsed. Not in a terribly bingey way for me. And, to be frank, 3 days clean (when I have the opportunity) is the best that it's been for me for a long time. I really was a porn user and, honestly, not much more. Once my partner went away - as she does often - I would...

Thank you Blondie. Along with the huge amount of time I waste on porn I want to note the amount of time I've been trying to stop using it. At least 7 years in a way that was serious enough to involve signing up for a quitting site. One day at a time. That's fine for now. It's very early days.

I made it through today. Some tough moments. In fact, this morning I was sure I was going to relapse. I got caught in a thought loop and it felt inevitable. I'm pleased to have escaped it. My cousin was due to visit and had I not had that appointment... After that I spent a lot of the day...

That's kind GBS. Nice to meet another UKist here. :)

I've done a day! In fact, if I look at my SoberTime timer I'm currently on 1 day, 21 hours and 7 minutes. That's as well as I've done on my own for a while. I used a thought from when I gave up smoking a lot. I did that with a lot of support from a man called Joel Spitzer. He has a smoking...

I'll make it through today now.

This is my first day then. I have been starting my days with PMO X 3 in bed and it's a very embedded habit. I'm theming today on Letting the Light in. I often hide in the darkness, but today I'm going to make sure I draw back all the curtains. It amazes me how quickly and completely I fall...

Thank you jonazo, that's very kind and it's nice to meet you. I don't even recall hearing of ADHD until I was well into adulthood. What I heard then tended to present it as exotic, questionable, controversial thing. I think it's different here now and it (and neurodiverse descriptors...
