Onto day 4 and doing well. Been keeping busy and minimising chances to fail. First step now is to aim for 7 days.

Through day one and now most of the way through day 2. Yesterday was the hardest. Like my brain is screaming at me for stopping. How dare i take away its dopamine hit. Yesterday would have been a typical lazy day where i could have slipped into old habits and i stayed away. Today had been a...

Well, it seems I couldn’t manage a day. I’ve let it get worse than I thought. I know what is possible with persistence and the success stories here push me on. But damn this thing is tricky. Just when you feel you’re getting somewhere you slip right back as soon as you stop giving it your full...

Here I am again. Last post was August last year, and since then I had a good deal of success for a while. But we don’t come back here because all is well, as much as I would like to bring some positivity. The creeping insidious nature of porn got its hooks in me again. Slowly, as it always is...

I often feel like I should be doing more with my time and life. That is not to say that I am an entirely unproductive member of society, I work hard, I exercise, I interact with the people around me. It’s just that there are things I would like to do for myself that I put off, often for porn. I...

Welcome to the forum. We’re all here working towards the same thing with varying levels of success. But so long as you keep moving forwards things will improve. I would recommend reading other journals. There are some amazing success stories out there. You can even learn from those like me...

Back on a full technology detox. While I was away from here. I had a very good porn free stretch, and it all started with a week of very limited technology. I kept away from them while doing other things, making sure to be present in what I was doing. It was strange to be going about life...

Great to drop back in and see you going so strong!

Been a minute since I posted here. But I have not given up yet. Once again I’m here to remind myself and to get my head back in the right place. Things have slid recently after what was a good run. I’m used to the cycle now, but that doesn’t mean I like it. I will continue to push through...

Day 8 Had a couple close calls but pulled myself back. To help with the inevitable doom scrolling I deleted all apps that could pull me in. But what I have found is I still pick up my phone by habit as I look for something to do on it. So I have inadvertently created more risk of relapse. To...

Day 7

Day 6

Busy couple of days, but that is good. All clear since last time. Day 5.

Day 2. Pretty smooth sailing so far.

Day 1. Picked up a good book. Should keep me occupied while I get started.

Been a minute since I was here. Had some ups for sure but the last week has been a real spiral. Before I get into it, it might be worth warning those who are worried about relapse to click away. It all started with throwing myself into a couple of projects. It kept my mind focused, and I had a...

Day 1 Felt like shit after a night drinking with some friends. Gave into it. Nothing more to it than that.

Day 9 Worried about tomorrow as I post this after drinking (a lot). A consistent weak point of mine, I need to acknowledge the reality so I can avoid it when I wake up feeling like shit.

Day 8

Day 7 Porn is something that still bring me a lot of frustration and shame, and it is something that has consumed too much of my life already. Even the slightest slip or stumble leaves me feeling miserable for days after, and that is on top of the constant underlying self loathing for allowing...
