Day 4 Went down on Tuesday, back to day 4. I was on Wednesday at work and heard someone mention it was Ash Wednesday. A practice in the christian faith that represents contrition of sin, and begins the 40 day season of lent, which is a season of reflection 40 days prior to easter, which is...

Day 6 Yesterday was rough, all day at home and looking for doorway stuff scrolling through social media; but somehow I made it.

Day 1

Same thing again this morning, after 4 clean ones. I dont know what is going on. I had a good focus and commitment, but it seems I lost grip of that special place. Im wondering how do I recover it again. I will be working on this. Reflecting on my why and considering seriously pros and cons.

Back at 0 :cautious:

This weekend did not go well. I just gave in, and after that I kept giving in again and again. Total mindlessness. Pure primitive and animal behavior. The opposite of what my goals are and betraying the reasons why I want to do this. Day 2

I have been busy at work this first half of the week, so I've been good, no urges. Today I have the mornin off and some time to myself, therefore I am here, reminding me of my why's to stop. Urges have been low. Day 9

Congratulations!

Today I meddled in my head with urges and surfed a on the edges of social media for provocative content. Luckily I was at home and my wife and kids kept on fighting for my attention, which I eventually took as a sign of the universe to spend my time and energy and more valuable and worthy...

I feel your pain, I do exactly the same things, and I have been living this way for years, just like you. Good job on recognizing allot of the weakening factors in this fight. We will continue to struggle, this is not a straight line journey. But we cannot surrender.

Im still holding on. Yesterday was rough. I was at home and my wife was out for a few hours, but I kept distracting myself with the kids and cooking. Day 5

I got yesterday home from work and was alone without wife and kids and I went straight to porn, just mindless drifted into it. I need to combat against that idea of giving myself permission for comfort and ease after hard work. I don't now were I picked that up, but it ungirds my subconscious in...

Sweet and sour, such is life. I rejoice and hurt with you at the same time. Awesome introspection and reflection. Sounds like you are growing allot in knowing who you are, what you want and what are your struggles; so valuable. The journey continues, and it sounds like you are even better fit...

Nice!

Congrats on your efforts. One day at a time! Counting can be useful, but also get a little obsessive.

Congrats on your new year streak. I already ruined mine, so I wish you the best! How have you been able to fight off the urges?

Welcome! From another fellow struggler, I wish you the best. Realizing that loosing all these relationships for the same reason has to be hard, but you are using it for good, motivation to stand up. I have heard very good things from doing meditation and being mindful and conscious, sound worth...

Im telling myself that today I will not use, not thinking about tomorrow, just today, one day at a time, I do not want to use porn today. Day 1

Here we go again, beginning of the year, want to get over this at almost 40. I had a nice streak before the year ended and the first 3 days, but went down yesterday and today. I was off from work and the lack of routine killed me. Day 0

I appreciate the advise @logicprox and @Androg. After posting yesterday I kinda figured out that was the logical thing to do and I went ahead and deleted it. Today Im back to work, su busy is good. Urges are low today. Day 15
