Happy Day 88!! It's been awhile since I've read one of your entries, this last one was very relevant. Thanks

So close to 90! You can do it! This is so inspiring!
As day 90 of my reboot closes to an end, I feel a lot of gratitude and peace. This was a tough journey for me - the triggers still remain, but the urge is relatively easier to subdue now. I acknowledge that this will be a much longer journey than 90 days. But this has also been a life changing experience for me. It gave me a lot of courage to face who I really am, and how I want to live. I will continue this journey further for another 60 days at least, on this forum, as I explore the physical aspects of my reboot. Mentally, I feel a lot more settled now. I know what I am and want, but I have to be careful with my triggers. My attempt in the next couple of months would be to open up to my near and dear ones and expose my true self. I am going to hurt a few people in this process, but I sincerely hope they can forgive me for my mistakes. I am a bit scared to do it, but I need to do it. Along with this I will focus on healthy sexuality and its interpretation in my life. There is no more PMO for me, ever. Finally, I am putting my long held plans in action in the next two months and I look forward to making progress in them and living a life I want, while being true to myself and others around me.
- Did I use porn today? NO
- What were my triggers? None
- How did I soothe my anxiety or stress?
- What am I grateful for today? spend the day with a couple of friends, who were visiting.

Beautiful post 
it's pretty incredible how far you've come! I'm not just speaking for myself, I'm sure we can all agree that your blogs were transformative. You poured out your wisdom and your heart and your TRUTH with all the blogs you wrote. Perhaps on of my favorite parts of witnessing your growth was reading those blogs.
You're absolutely right, these first 90 days are only the beginning and there's still more work to be done but you've done the kind of work that will take years to do. I'm talking about going inward and self reflecting and self evaluating yourself; the good and the bad. Many people never get here. Congrats to you on that front
Sending you all the light you need to be open and truthful about yourself with the ones you love. Honestly, I rather be loved for who I am then to be loved for who I'm not.
You're awesome!! Glad you had a great day with friends!!
