43 year old tired of pmo
- Thread starter jstock
- Start date
I've had a good day today. It's kind of funny (not really) I've been 17 days with no pmo, and I'm having more triggers than I thought a human can have. I'm trying (and doing ) to just keep mind thinking good clean thoughts
I watched my wife change into her pj's
My privates kind of stood at attention. My wife was impressed. So was i. I would love to touch her. I have at least 2 weeks to I go down that path. It sure will be fun.im not thinking about p. I have my kids all weekend, cause my wife works. If my kids weren't with me on the weekemds, it might be a different story. Stay strong guys. It's worth it
I feel like a completely different person, right now

I am happy for you. Celebrate the small victories. Immerse yourself into your kids. They will keep you from thinking about it.
I am 14 days without p. I am feeling pretty good - like I have actually accomplished something that I have not been able to do (so far).
Happy days are ahead for all of us. Stay strong.

Stick with it brother. We're roughly the same age and I've just celebrated 27 days no PMO. Wet dreams are a welcome and very natural release and I'm a bit envious because I've got blue balls like you wouldn't believe! I'd recommend getting a copy of the e-book, "Your Brain on Porn." For me distraction and boredom often lead to urges/seeking so I'd simply switch to reading a few pages before getting back to work. Stay strong and thanks for your posts. They've helped me a lot.

Glad to read about all the positive progress. You guys rock!
You are already reaping the benefits. Don't let you minds start playing tricks on you!
It will so be prepared!!!
Decide well ahead of time what your will do when the urges come, when your mind wants to hijack your will.
This is the single greatest way of succeeding. Pre determining your actions.
Remember if you want to make decisions on how you will handle the situation when the urge is there, you will make the wrong decision!
Knowing in advance what you will do and sticking to the plan of action is VITAL!

Thank you lyon. I'm 18 days. I've been thinking a lot about p, today certain scenes. I've been trying to block them out, and I've been pretty successful. They only get about 5 seconds, then I purposely just think about anything else not p related. I know every day I beat this, I'm closer to getting back a normal life. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

My pleasure brother. We're all in this together. Find a counter trigger, like reading, standing up, talk to someone, or I've read others just visualize a giant red X appearing on these porn scenes. Porn is the opposite of love. Every time we give in to porn, we're taking love away from ourselves. Be well.

Yes, so true. Our minds is the biggest pitfalls to our success.
It can also be the contributor to our only success!
The choice is ours. What we chose on a daily basis is what will make us victors or victims.
I chose VICTORY!!!
What About YOU?

Totally normal brother. Two days ago at the gym, I cried when hearing Sia's "Chandelier". How f*cked up is that? Think of your brain like a 2-year old. When it doesn't get the regular porn fix, it gives you headaches, the shakes, spontaneous boners...the works. And when that doesn't work, it screws with your emotions. It's all part of recovery. Stick with it brother. Your mind is f*cking with you because you've stopped its porn diet. Starve that part of your mind but feed it something else: music; books; knowledge etc. Stay strong. We're all behind you.
Thanks lyon. I feel almost like I'm having panic attacks. I have to keep that in mind. My brain is absolutely starving for porn. It's almost a month. I'm not hardly thinking about porn. But subconsciously I must be, and not realizing it. I've keeping very active. I took my son hiking, for four hours. I'm honestly thinking about getting a shower and going to bed. Thanks for the support

You're a beast brother. Don't let this control your life. I'd recommend having someone to call when you get the urge. I went from withdrawal to a very fragile emotional state (hence crying at the gym to Sia's 'Chandelier'). We're all here for you and rooting for you. When the urge starts, have a plan to counter it: cold shower; push ups; read; call someone. PORN IS NOT AN OPTION!
I was feeling horny today, but nothing happened. I was at work anyway. That's all I need, is to get caught m,o ing at work. No thanks. After work I got to go play pickle ball, with a bunch of oldies. I had a blast. It's funny, when people introduce themselves I can remember their names (mostly)
I feel really confident in public. It was fun. I'm proud of myself, for getting out and meeting people. Stay strong rebooters.

Well done brother! I agree rubbing one out at the office is a bit creepy. Strange you should mention names. I've experienced the same thing. I want to interact with people more, particularly at the gym. I put away my phone/earbuds, shake hands, ask names, and interact with people. It's called being a human being I guess. Stay strong!

The name thing I can also resound with. Strange!!!
The following I shared on the forum with some other rebooters. I think this could be helpful to you as well.
"You already know what you don't want, and you know that it is affecting you in a bad way. Remind yourself of how bad it is and that the down side is far greater than the gain of what you want to accomplish.
Relate the bad to Pain.
And the good to Pleasure.
When the Pain is more than the Pleasure, it will be easier to make the transition to stay away from the pain.
If you still find it difficult to do that, imagine yourself a year, tow, five, ten, years from now, not making that change.
Will there be more Pain than Pleasure....?
This should motivate you and keep you motivated to make the right choices and stick to them."
Stay strong and receive the Blessings!

Thanks guys for the reply
I'm feeling better today. I've had a lot of anxiety the last couple of days
The best thing for me is socializing, and exercising. That seems to be the cure all. Other than being sore than hell, I've had a great day
Everyday rebooters, we are getting stronger.take care, and have a good night
