Day 19 Still doing very well in terms of my streak, going almost three weeks in absolute hard mode and not drinking alcohol at all. This time it comes along with depression, I experienced this at former reboot attempts, but it’s still hard to handle. My brain starts rationalizations like...

Amazing numbers, you keep inspiring with your success and give hope that it’s possible to leave porn behind!

Day 16 Definitely I am at the most critical stage now and after years of failure there are lots of doubts about ever making it. Instead of thinking about quitting porn forever, I rather focus on reaching goals step by step and my next goal is to complete three weeks. Still not drinking alcohol...

Day 13 Daily reminder to myself that all the efforts are worth it and I need to stay strong. Weekend is coming soon, I will keep avoiding alcohol and any possible triggers!

Day 12 Heavy urges already, I need to be very careful now and avoid triggers at all costs. Still going well in terms of exercise und nutrition, this definitely helps and I will continue taking a break from alcohol to not risk my progress.

Day 10 Doing well so far, made it through the second weekend, heading towards two weeks now which is already a success.

Day 6 So far I had a good start, the next weekend is coming and as a big problem has been alcohol and relapsing afterwards, I decided to not drink for a while. As I’m combining this with exercise and healthy nutrition, I hope for a long term success of building good habits again. I made it 40...

Day 1 I need to do anything I can to finally leave this behind, it’s day 1 again and my first goal is to make it through the weekend…

Didn’t make it much further after my last journal entry, despite not using social media I ended up on twitter after reading a news article that included a twitter quote. Started clicking around there and ended on some accounts with non nude pics, then the “You’re already there, now it doesn’t...

Week 6 and so far it’s the worst, I feel really desperate about cravings and self doubts are growing. I failed so many times in the past that subconsciously I doubt my success. The first weeks went rather easy compared to earlier attempts, but now the thought of “If you make it through this day...

Thanks a lot, Kraken - my sleep is back to normal and it‘s day 35. I have to fight thoughts that come up like “why torture yourself? Sooner or later you will relapse!” that try to trick me into porn again. I definitely feel the benefits, because this is the life I want to live and not the...

Thank you very much! One month complete, but I had such heavy urges that I had trouble sleeping the last nights and honestly doubted I would make it. The night before last night I thought that I had to relapse sooner or later to be able to sleep again. When I don’t have enough sleep I am more...

The last day of week four has begun, haven’t come this far in a very long time and now need to be very careful to not lower my guards.

Thanks a lot, Kraken! In terms of drugs I am still doing well and keep a day count for myself, I’m two months away from 1000 days clean and looking forward to that milestone for sure. To answer your question about being busy I have to add some personal information I didn’t mention it in the...

I can relate a lot to not taking care of the problem anymore and falling back into old habits. It seems like your life is heading in a great direction in general, but we have a life long task of staying alert and living with caution due to our addiction. You had incredible success before and...

24 days complete, made plans for the whole week and keep myself as busy as possible. Quitting is possible and I am convinced to leave this addiction behind forever!

I can relate to some of the details of the rabbit hole you went through, especially the webcam sexting being more addictive than porn itself and it is shocking to see how young you got exposed to this. The more impressive is your progress despite the relapses you suffered - but first of all you...

You’re still very young and already discovered your problem, at your age I didn’t realize I had a problem! Now consistency is the key: Two weeks without porn are two weeks of your life won, next time you’ll do more and discover your triggers and dangerous situations. You need to be fully...

Made it past the weekend, 22 days complete and I get triggered by everything. A YouTube video with a girl showing some cleavage is already enough and my brain plays tricks on me like “Go google her!” and that’s how usually my relapses start. I have to be more careful about my browsing habits...

Congratulations on one year! This is simply incredible and it makes me happy to read about your success - your story is an inspiration not only for me but for the whole community! Think about it that worldwide there is only a low percentage of men that realize they’re suffering from this...
