    Fighting For Love

    Hey man, is that a drum kit I see in the background there? When last did you play that? And thank you for sharing on video as well - what a powerful and vulnerable way of sharing. What a cool idea. Keep it up man - and don’t let those substitutes get into your head. They’re so evil to someone...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 4 Still going strong here for now, but I have had multiple urges to PMO in the last few days. It’s crazy how it has become a part of my routine. Luckily I am learning to speak Spanish and setting up a mens support group so I have some things that I can replace PMO with. To some extent...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 1 I have failed repeatedly over the last six months. I crumbled pretty quickly after my last post here and I was too ashamed to come back and admit it. Fuck it sucks to know that you have failed. And all of the awareness that I had built around this addiction went down the drain in a single...

    Day 31 Wow what a journey this has been! I feel a bit bad that I haven’t been writing in my journal, but I have the most incredible support network that I have curated to give me the support that I feel like I need to beat my addiction to porn. However, I was away last week and was staying in a...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 12 So I've missed a few days of entries here because I am moving house and have had a lot on the go - but the positive news is that I am feeling really good wrt my sexual impulses and I have been much more aware of any urges that have come around. I guess in many ways, I have spent a lot of...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 5 Just a quick entry today as I am at work, but I just want to make it a regular thing writing in here. I had some urges yesterday, some thoughts came up in the morning just after waking up (mostly of my partner - so not actually harmful), and while I was browsing through YouTube (YouTube...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 4 So I spent the entire day recording music with a band that I play with so I have been busy in the studio for the day and have only started to unwind from the day now. I have a very close bond with all of the people that I play with so I felt safe and held the entire day. I have had no...

    That's great! Thank you for this - I'd love to share accountability with you. I'll PM you about it tomorrow. And what is this Fight the New Drug? I am not familiar with it.

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 2 and 3 Wow, what a wild ride this has been so far actually. I'm not sure how much of it has just been coincidental and how much has been a result of this decision of mine to quit PMO for real, but it feels like I am already stepping into a place of being empowered. I've always been very...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 1 Today has been a good day, for the most part, and I am driven and activated to beat this thing. After I wrote my first journal entry last night, I decided to talk to my partner of 16 months about my serious addictions, because she deserves to know and we have a relationship that is built...

    Reclaiming my agency - Discovering self through overcoming my addictions

    Day 0 Wow, this is scary. Sharing such a hidden and private part of my life with a group of strangers is a daunting thing to do. But I am comforted by the knowing and understanding that we are all on similar paths - even though each individual path has totally different contexts, trajectories...
