Breaking it up in mini goals and not as focused on what day but my mindset going into each day.
Sounds like a great strategy, Jerry! And- when it comes- happy birthday!
Breaking it up in mini goals and not as focused on what day but my mindset going into each day.
Jerry we‘re right there with you in this fight, remember you are not who you were. You are being made into a new man! Phil 1:6Well I haven't been on here or posted much since 12/2. Since then I have had some struggles with Psubs and edging which led to PMO. Not watching full fledge videos but enough to MO to the quick Psubs. So I'm calling it out as PMO. Also tons of stress from work and the holidays have been kicking in which I know become a trigger. I have also not been able to workout as much due to some recurrent back issues after a surgery in early 2021. These are all excuses and I need to get my head on straight and avoid these PSBUBs. I am using the IMPACT from Phineas.
I have really had to refocus and begin a bible study on the book of Romans. Also had a great sermon yesterday on HOPE. It really resonated as we reviewed Psalm 42 and Romans 15:13. I have been reading this in this time of struggle. "I pray that GOD, the source of Hope, will fill me completely with Joy and Peace because I trust in HIM. Then I will overflow with Confident Hope through the power of the HOLY SPIRIT."
This addiction sucks and it is unexplainable how I can journey so far and yet stumble so quickly. Recently turned 50 and just want to move on from this. Thankful for this site and praying for everyone on here! GRACE AND PEACE
People definitely waste a lot of time online, myself included. But the truth is that the Internet, like many other things, is a tool that is best to be used for when you need it. There are things you can study online, even watch videos that help you or teach you something, but people waste a lot of time with Youtube and social media. I understand because they are designed to be addictive, they know what they're doing but it's easy to fall into the trap, just like porn. Okay, you can give yourself a day during the week or whatever to waste with Youtube but it shouldn't be everyday. Of course, Youtube is starting to contain more and more triggers so that's something to think about. All the stupid thumbnails with pictures taken from Instagram... Music videos that are borderline softcore porn etc.You can do it, Jerry! There's so many other things to do online if, after you've limited your social media use, and need something else to do...
Look up positive videos that motivate you, or awesome subjects that interest you. But above all, keep your joy and trust that God's grace will see you through this!
Sorry to hear you and I have both been struggling a lot in this wonderful month of December. I hope you can get back to where you want to be. I'm working on trying to get there myself. It's been a bad couple of weeks for me. Heading down the road of almost every day. I have the serious need to seek out porn. I hate this feeling. I hate that I let myself get here.Well I haven't been on here or posted much since 12/2. Since then I have had some struggles with Psubs and edging which led to PMO.

Guitar great to hear from you. Yes this struggle is tough and not sure why December makes it tougher! I am dealing with this day to day and since my Monday post I have been doing good. Just taking it day by day. You do the same.. Win the hour! Win the day! and move on to the next day!Sorry to hear you and I have both been struggling a lot in this wonderful month of December.

But, I have to march on. I'm back here. Hopefully that will help. Best wishes my friend.
Great, man! It's good you can stop the edging and end the day well. I rarely do that, I need to learn to do it.Just updating today. Had some Psub and edging come up yesterday. Shut it down. Stay strong RN!

So as we all begin 2022 I am a person who doesn't necessarily believe in "New Years Resolutions" but I do believe in reflection and renewed focus!
My focus going into 2022 is to take this one day at a time. This is how it started back in April and I want to go beyond the longest PMO streak.
