Day 30- I went thru a lot of emotion today. It wasn't easy to get thru the worst of it but I kept it together thanks to a talk with a friend. I felt better afterwards and started working out. PMO has destroyed my life in many ways and the pain that I was feeling is part of the process of staying strong and resisting.

Day 31- Felt triggered for a few moments during the day but got thru it. A part of me wanted to give in to Porn but I had to remember that Its not worth throwing everything that Ive done this past month away for a few seconds of pleasure.

Relapsed and slipped because I let my guard down. I realize that one of my triggers is another habit that Im trying to kick at the same time. After 33 days of staying strong I caved and I know that I can do it again but Im disappointed that I have to start all over.

You aren’t starting all over. But it really helps to be consistent.

Day 2- I was slacking a few days ago and wasn't doing my daily routine to set the tone for my day and it led to me to a relapse. Its absolutely essential for my reboot that I exercise and take care of myself. Exercise, Healthy foods and creativity of some sort is a must.

Ive lost my footing again and have been struggling to stay clean from PMO. Its bringing my whole energy down and Ive been feeling low lately. I want to get back on the wagon because I liked the way I felt without PMO. This addiction sucks and I want to get rid of it already because all its done for me is set me back and took away time and energy from my life.

Day 5- Feelings of anger and sadness are overwhelming today. Im angry that Ive let this habit and others dominate my life for so long. Sadness because I feel powerless over these habits sometimes but I have to stay strong because there is no other way out of this rut.

These feelings are classic addicted-brain symptoms. Despair is one of its strongest weapons.

It would be a good idea to keep your spirits up with exercise, social contact, reading inspiring things, listening to upbeat music, doing something to help someone else, etc. It's risky to "just wait" until you feel better before you take these steps.

And remember, be glad you're healing when you are...never mind how long it took you to get started. It's better than starting in 10 years. :cool:
