    Embracing the Future

    Hey everyone! Still here - it's been hard to remember to come post here lately. Just wanted to check in and encourage everyone to continue the fight to push back against porn. This is Day 45, for me, I think. I've been learning a lot about myself, how I would use porn to cope, learning a lot...

    Porn is not an option

    Thanks for sharing this @Blondie . This describes my life to a tee. I'm going to check this book out. This is the work that I need to keep doing - to understand how my childhood shaped me. Because my parents would tell me now that "they were always there for me, why did I feel like I had...

    Embracing the Future

    Hey all, a bit of a hiatus here. Day 15 and still powering on. These past two weeks have been, and continue to be challenging for my wife and I. We are having tough conversations everyday and she is asking me challenging questions about my addiction. She is going through so much hurt and...

    Embracing the Future

    Day 5/6. Still clean, feeling depressed today and yesterday. Taking a lot of steps to put this in the past including continuing to share with people, surrounding myself with other guys to open up to, joining a recovery group, and continuing to rely on God.

    Embracing the Future

    Day 4 today, still working through a lot with my wife but we are on such a positive trajectory. Little time to write today so I'm keeping it short and sweet - PMO will not be my story and this is a new chapter. Continuing to be excited for the future.

    Embracing the Future

    3 days clean, still no temptation or remote opportunity for PMO - I feel like it will be awhile before I face that just because of all of the fresh trauma that my wife and I are working through. I have an on/off pit in my stomach over the deception that I maintained for so long and that has my...

    Moving Forward In This Reboot

    @N89 way to go man. I think the encouragement of seeing so many other fight this fight does bring strength in our own battles. You mentioned your wife - do you tell her whenever you PMO or MO? This is coming from someone who kept this all hidden for years so I'm not exactly a beacon of truth...

    Embracing the Future

    Day 2. Zero temptations for PMO right now. Doing a lot of work with my spouse to make amends, make changes, and be clear on my conviction that I am kicking this addiction. It's easy to avoid temptation right now while the pain in our relationship is so fresh but I know that I'll have to be...

    Embracing the Future

    Hello everyone! Day one of my reboot here. New to these forums and the whole reboot concept in general. I've had an on/off battle with PMO for the last 16 years or so and recently it has become a much more frequent part of my life. This all came to a head yesterday in revealing to my spouse...
