Day 5

Today was the toughest it felt like my body was hurting and just begging for some porn.  I was able to.resist but idk for how long. On a good note this is the second week in almost 5 years since ive gone this long without PMO. But i feel like im convincing myself that im taking on too.much at once as an excuse idk. Idk. :'(

Hang in there man.
First week is hell. Days 4-5 are often the worst of all.
You might think it just get tougher day by day, but it wont!
After a while it gets easier, so stay strong.
 
You can do it!I promise you it will only get easier. Soon days will blend into weeks, then months, then years. Think big picture and realize every time you say no to P you are actually making it easier to do in the future. Just like anything else, the more you do something the easier it becomes. You are using this principle in one of the most positive ways to change your life.
Keep going!

Also it's worth remembering that we often use porn to fill a void in our life.  When quitting, that void is left wide open, and it's up to you to find something constructive, or pleasurable or worthwhile to fill the void, like a new hobby or working on your career/academia.  It can be tough, but it does get easier.  I tend to find it comes in waves, at the earliest stages they're rough and frequent, but as you sail on, the seas get smoother.  There will be rough patches, but the further you go, the stronger you get.

Good luck mate, we're on the same day, I'm only 3 hours ahead of you, so we'll b taking this journey together :)
