Crawling from the wreckage

Day 394 (no PMO)

Day 47 (no looking at porn or porn substitutes)


It's been an interesting week. I just finished a 6 week evening pottery class. It sounded like a fun thing to do, and checked off a few boxes for me: do something different, do something creative, stop spending so much time in front of a computer, meet new people.

The class was entirely women, which was fun. There were several very attractive women in the class; also fun. While it would have been nice to meet someone single, for the most part all of the women were too young or in relationships.

What I noticed is that it was simply nice to be around women and experience many of the things I find attractive: nice figures, nice eyes, shoulders, tattoos, the sound of a woman's laugh, etc. I wouldn't say I was getting aroused or having sexual thoughts, but certainly a few of these women were sexy.

The experience certainly is helping with my reboot, since my brain is having to un-learn and re-learn an awful lot. I wasn't looking at pictures on a computer screen of ridiculous vixens that don't exist - I was among real women. It was a good feeling.

It's been a good week. Weather is nice, I'm more active, stress at work has decreased, spending time with friends. Still in flatline, still okay with that. Although some healthy MO would feel good, I know that it's very much a "nice to have" not "must have" in my life.

Damn. I was doing well with not looking at porn substitutes, then strayed from the path. Long story short, I was checking out a news website, and saw an article written by some fitness babe. Wow, who's she? Then, fell down a rabbit hole of Google image searches. 😣 No PSMO or anything really bad like that, but now I have to restart the count. Sigh.

Oh well. You’re still doing great.
