Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks! Yeah I have just finished this book and I am definitely informing myself more, which reinforces my recent attempts to quit. I am realistic though and I know this might take some time. Despite the relapses, I am being kind and gentle with myself and the difference now compared to previous...

Day 0: Yesterday I relapsed. I'm upset with myself because I had gone a week but I am also positive to start again and avoid the mistakes I'm making. I don't think I would say I was even struggling with urges, I was just bored and Isolated so I need to figure this out. I'm spending too much...

Day 6: I thought today was only day 5! But I've tried so many times to quit and Day 4 is always a struggle. Today I was busy again, it kept me distracted. I had some urges tonight and I could have easily caved but thankfully I didn't. I have found this so helpful today, especially around the...

Day 5: It's good to be busy and out of the house. That is definitely helping. The more I am busy and out the better chance I have I think. Im eating a lot though and I am worried I am replacing one addiction/bad behaviour with another (I also have some issues with stress and comfort eating). I...

Day 4: I've been busy today and pretty focused. So things have definitely been an improvement on yesterday. I hope to continue like this tomorrow. Over the last week, I've been working on a strategy to stay sober. I'm sharing this now in the hope of keeping myself accountable but also in the...

Day 3: Today has been hard, working from home I have been pretty isolated. I have also engaged in some behaviour that is a potential trigger to be using online chat, roleplay and P but thankfully i haven't done it. I've stayed strong knowing i'll regret it. I can't white knuckle it like this...

Your're welcome, stay strong!

Hi Robby, Im sorry to hear about your struggle. I also had a relapse a couple of days ago after a short stint sober and so I understand your frustration. Last year I had a 52 day streak and stupidly fell back in and since then I have been really struggling to get back to a healthy mindset. The...

Day 2: Today started bad with a low mood but I was with a friend all day making music. I think being around people and pursuing my creative endeavours is key to success in recovery. I have to remember this!

Day 1: I started again today... Im proud of myself. Though I relapsed usually I would binge and it would take me weeks or even months to find the energy and confidence to quit again but I've summoned it within a day and I'm serious about quitting for good. I worked on a strategy today that I...

Keep going Ben and never give up on giving up. I think that is crucial. I also know I need to change my habits. I had a 10 day run recently and then I relapsed again after 3 days yesterday but i begin again today. Someone just told me that recovery isn't linear and that there will be tough days...

Hey Abby, Thanks for sharing your concerns and anxiety regarding this. For the longest time I also had issues with climaxing during sex. It was strange because I could stay hard during foreplay and sex for long periods of time but could never finish. I think a lot of this is psychological as...

Relapse: Yesterday I relapsed and the binge continued into today. I have just managed to get myself together but I feel disappointed with myself, frustrated and low. I'm not that emotional but I feel like bursting into tears at the moment! The worst thing is, in the moment yesterday I knew I...

Day 3: Another day sober and not engaging with my unhealthy behaviours. I have taken on extra jobs recently just to keep myself busy and out of the house and away from my computer. It will be like this the next two days too, which I am positive about. The weekend though is what scares me...

Day 2: I woke up this morning with urges but... another success. I thought about the hard work I've put in already just to get into the mindset to want to make such a significant change and the moment passed! I'm thankful for not giving in, in the moment. I've also created a habit where I put...

Day 1: This is my second attempt at journaling here and I've lost count of the numerous times I have tried to quit porn. I am not a religious guy but I am praying that this is successful attempt at staying sober that will set me free. I am 37 years old, British but living in Germany and I am...

Hey, Controversial subject I now but has anyone got good experience with software that they can recommend? I have had success with my phone which used to be my go to source but now I need something for my computer. I know it will also take work and responsibility but I see this as a first step...

Hi There, My name is Daniel. I'm 36 and from the UK but now live in Germany. I'm an artist working and studying part-time and I'm having issues with pornography and have been for sometime. I'm sharing my story and struggles because I want to stop and the process had led me here after hearing...
