3 days done. Not tempted yet. It's normally day 4-5 that happens so will be interesting. I'm wondering about asking for an accountability partner on here so we can keep focused together. Has anyone found this useful?

Hey Hannibal. I looked through your older posts. I see you've done some really long streaks before. I have a question: what are the advantages of using porn for you? What tempts you, specifically?

I wrote a guide on how I quit https://flying-eagle-method.org/ I'm 4 months free, and I saw that I was just a drug addict living life in reverse gear. It doesn't matter if they wear clothes are not, it's a drug just like a cigarette or heroin user. My goal is to have a drug-free year for 2022, which is probably a first for my adult life (I'm 41). I have two sons and I've talked to them about this drug a lot, also.

Not easy but feeling good about not doing any porn for a week. Writing it here is certainly helping. Maybe I will get an accountability partner on here for extra motivation

Great progress! I agree it is really helpful to write on here and also to communicate and help other people. It gives you the sense of the accountability partner

Today was a challenge. Mind was wandering. A few problems at home that previously I would have looked for s distraction from. Really proud that o fid nothing. I just told myself "no" and moved on.

Great work Hannibal- keep it up! Sounds like you might be like me...using porn as a stress reliever when things get tough. Keep in mind it is really increases stress rather than relieving stress.

Thanks flattofine. Yes, I agree. I have 30 years of experience of it only increasing stress, but have always returned to its fake promise. I'm doing things differently this time - daily journal, accountability partner and removed the porn blocker from my browser. The last action is significant as I always found a way around them before which made it even more a high to see it. By removing it, it is all about my choices now
