Day 1 Had a day off and was a little tired all day. Too much free time this early in the reset wasn't good. I'll need to figure out what causes the triggers. I spent the morning reading up about the effects of porn on our brains and it's scary seeing those effects present in my life. I won't...

Appreciate the feedback. It helps and gives some perspective. Thanks a lot.

Thank you kindly for the time you took to reply. I'll have a think about the approach , the why and way moving forward.

Greetings, I realized in the last week ( I live alone abroad) that pity parties won't help, and if I don't move and make a difference I won't get over the addiction and how I feel. I need to be the master of my fate and take responsilibty and make things change. That being said, I'm back on Day...

So everyone, I'm back here after 3 months of being addicted to porn again and not avoiding it for more than a day or two at a time. If all all you read are these first two sentences then let me tell you: PORN WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE. It affects you in ways unseen, your thinking, your behavior...

Good to see that the day counter is increasing. Keep it up and take care of yourself.

Day 34 and then Day 1... So this journey has been the first time that I reached the milestone of 34 days. Its' been more than ever before yet yesterday and today I relapsed two times. It was easier to give in today than yesterday. I was tired yesterday and a little disappointed with some...

Day 21 Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the feedback. There's still a lot of time left in the day but things are going well. I have a lot more self-control when it comes to seeing videos and images that I never had before. The one issue I need to work on is my self-confidence. It's not as...

Day 17 I've had some serious temptation with some videos I saw on Instagram and I was trying to justify masturbation but the problem is the dopamine high. I disregarded the thoughts saying its okay because it's not. Just one hit at this stage and I'll be reeling back. I think I need to wait a...

Day 15 Today wasn't particulary tough. I wasn;t so much tempted by porn but just my thoughts about some ladies I saw throuhgout the day that bothered me a little. I was movitaved by some video on YouTube saying that getting past day 14 already means that things will get a little easier. I'm...

Congradulations on day 19. Keep it up!

Hey Viking, so I completely resonate and understand your situation. I've been there. The thing that was different this time was, I made a list of all the things I'd be giving up by watching porn ( and trust me that list is extensive). I watched a whole bunch of videos on YouTube and found they...

Day 14 Well now...Not sure if it's related but I'm feeling quite down these last coupleof days. Never experienced any withdrawals in the past because this is the longest I've avoided porn in a very long time. I've had the same thoughts as yesterday of going back to some videos I remember quite...

Day 13 If my counting is correct, it is day 13. I went away for a few days again with a university buddy. We just hung out and enjoyed the long weekend. Came back today. Been struggling a little more today since I got back. Some part of me is trying to justify just watching one porn video. I...

Day 8 Started off the day with a crossfit session. Even though I swore I would never join crossfit, the group dynamic of everyone pushing themselves and encouraging each other was enjoyable. I also had my first therapy session today. I realized there are some issues causing anxiety in my life...

Keep it up. I fully agree, " Let's choose life and the best version of ourselves.

Day 7 1 week, didn't think I'd make it this far. Felt a little isolated and down today. Had a few moments of thinking that I could watch porn at any time since I'm living alone but I dismissed the thoughts quickly. Think it is important not to entertain those thoughts at all. So still standing...

Day 6 Joined a crossfit gym for a workout. There's something special about a group of people exercising together with good music in the background and people motivating each other to work hard. Had a few thoughts of porn because I was watching a TedEx video on the dangers of porn but I had no...

Day 5 Spent the afternoon moving in to my new apartment. Haven't spent much time today with people but I haven't had distractions. I found that I was staring at some ladies more (not awkwardly) but I didn't feel too great about that. I was focusing a lot on their physical attributes and...

@j165 Try to get your mind of those things, if it gets really tough, take a cold shower of do soem exercise. Have you read up or watched videos about how addiction starts in the brain? Even the thoughts start a dopamine release so be careful. Try to find some practical tips on fighting it...
