It's not impossible if others have done it

Hey man, I just want to comment on your journal. You're doing a great job! 23 days is as amazing step forwards. I am just starting out and have a goal for one week and then I hope to work my way up to three months. Go for it man.

Thanks, man. I can't even remember last time when my streak was 23 days long. I went through a series of binges and everything looked like going to the bottom of the pit. I didn't think I could lift myself up and escape the misery. This streak is a proof to myself (and to others who've read my entries when I was in misery) that it's possible. Maybe 23 days doesn't look like a big deal in comparison to months but it's a very big deal for me after binge after binge on consecutive days. It is possible no matter how impossible it might feel.

Day 24

My mental state and energy level have been all the way down for the last 4 days or so. I don't know what's going on. I remember feeling better after so many days.

Day 25

I felt a little better than yesterday but still a lot subpar. This streak has had some crazy mental state and energy level fluctuations. I feel like everything overwhelms me. And I'm stressed with my job. Some hard work might come in the near future. And I might have to work some extra hours which I fuckin hate. The bottom line is, I used to feel better after 25 days. This time I don't really feel well. I'm close to 1 month without watching/looking at porn or porn substitutes. Something must happen and make me feel better cause I don't like it.

Thats your porn mind speaking out of you. Thats withdrawals and they will pass and you will feel better, than you have ever felt. Hold on to your reasons and just go through it now. You've got this.

Good morning!

Sounds like it has been a tough past few days. Just remember your ultimate goal. It's not relief from the way you may feel when you are down. It's recovery. It's your total disassociation from porn. It's the ultimate victory that comes from you being in control of your desires and understanding what is good for you. Keep fighting no matter what.

Day 28

My mind is sharp and my energy level is great. I like this. Anxiety is low. I have to keep this in mind and finish today without doing anything stupid. Tomorrow is for tomorrow.
