War Record

I'm 22, eight years into a porn addiction, and so ready to kick this and move on with my life.

At 14, I started asking questions about sex that I wasn't getting answers to. I took to the internet and stumbled into the world of porn. It's been on an off since then, and I'm ready to admit my need, join a community, quit this, and heal.

It's always only been P for me, no M or O, and it's about a monthly occurrence right now. I've been told that I don't have a porn problem and that my use isn't a big deal. However, I know firsthand how devastating this is to myself, to my relationships, and to my life goals.

This. Is. An. Issue, and it's time to take care of it.

So, I join this group of struggling but committed men as we fight for purity together.

This means war, so let's set the record straight...

Day 1 - Nothing much to mention. It typically is easier the less I think about it. Having blockers in place and a chance to actually talk about with others is comforting.

Day 2 - Having too much time to think is always dangerous. Had lewd thoughts come uninvited during a time of thought. Dismissed somewhat easily, but I'm looking forward to learning more about sex post-porn.

Day 3 - Thoughts lying in bed this morning were lewd and unwanted. However, once I attained full consciousness, I was good.

Exercise and staying busy definitely helped today.

Day 4 - Bored and tired for an hour, which brought the possibility of P to mind. However, being with people helps and kept me from having the opportunity anyway.

Keep trucking on.

Days 4-9

It's been a busy week, so I'm a bit behind on my journal. The upshot is that I've hardly even thought about P all week due to having my mind on other things.

On to Day 10.

It's been ten days since I checked back in here, and, unfortunately, I'm back to ground zero. I fell last Tuesday and again last night, going all the way to M last night.

Feeling pretty low to be honest, but I somehow found myself picking myself up again this morning and continuing on. Having a group to report back to is both rough and helpful at the same time.

Back to Day 1.

Its natural to feel down after going for 10 days, but on the bright side you were off P for 10 days, its amazing!!
Doing it again, and again I think, is the core of this struggle. I used to think that Id get it on my first try. Hhh how foolish that was. Keep up the good work!

Long drive in the car gave me a bit too much to think about today, but I successfully turned my mind to other things.

I was sure I would fall tonight, but I kept myself busy and am about to turn in.

No P tonight.

Going really strong, which is encouraging. I haven't thought about P in two days; life had kept me engaged and busy with much better things.

I'm feeling pretty good while staying on guard for when stress or exhaustion drive me back to wanting this.
