Hi to all. It's been a while since my last post but it doesn't mean I'm not in the frontline.
I started to fight to quit porn since May of 2019 with very good results. Since that date to today I've only had less than 10 PMOs in 16 months, which is great considering that I used to spend hours on fridays and saturdays nights fapping myself. My last PMO was 4 months ago and from that date I didn't have the urgency to turn the PC/cellphone on to watch porn.
The bad and the good news:
The bad news:
I'm still struggling with the withdrawal symptoms: In my bad days I feel tiredness, depression, bad mood, the flatline and the world put all over on my shoulders. Fortunately, the bad days are less frecuent, but they are still present and I have to deal with them.
The good news:
In my good days everything blooms: The smells of the trees, the flowers' , the birds' singing, the food's taste, I see natural women's beauty, the feelings to workout... JOYFULNESS. I know it sounds naive, but when you lose all those things is when you know their value.
Do not lose hope:
I know it's hard, nobody told us that it was going to be easy. The first months are the hardest ones, be strong and don't quit the fight because of a few relapses, they are completely normal and will decrease with the passing of the months.
Advices:
Work, get a job, hit the gym, run, play sports, read good books, play educative videogames, watch series/movies, BELIEVE (Whatever your religion is, praying helps A LOT) Occupy your time, don't let intrusive thoughts get into your brain.
Well, that's all. I hope it had helped you. The intention of typing this experience is to give some hope to those who are struggling against porn addiction, to tell you that the good days will come. You will fall sometimes, but if you remain strong you will win
