Day 8! - Happy New Year yall! I am happy to have gone into the new year with a 1 week streak!

Last night was nothing crazy I had slight boners when i was w my girl. We had fun without sex. Apart from that I was able to sleep properly and wake up early. Felt like I had a solid morning wood and it stayed around for a very long time.

Happy new year y'all hope the year brings u all loads of success, whatever that means to u.

Day 10:

Last night had some urges which resulted in me touching myself... but I went back and read my DAY 1 post and it helped reassure why I am in this journey. So I stopped and went back to bed. But yeah lately even a picture of a girl not showing too much skin makes me feel different. But i guess its the healing process.

No other major updates. Did some meditation.


have a good day yall

Day 12:

wow, I feel like I am starting to forget which day I am on without looking at my thread. I think it's a good thing. I also think I have too much on my plate rn since I am on a job hunt and in the middle of prepping for interviews etc.. its helping me not think about what day or about porn altogether.

Surprised I could even make it to 12 days without PMO. I wanted some more challenge so I incorporated 30 seconds of cold showers everyday and 10 minutes of meditation every day lets see how that goes.

I have a plan on getting physical with my girl next Wednesday tho to test out my progress. So that's 7 more days of complete abstinence. Should be good.

Have a nice day yall.
 
12 days, nice! Sounds like you're on the right track. I think it's good that you're forgetting which day you're day on. Eventually you won't really be counting days anymore since being porn-free is be your new normal ya know?

Day 5:

Last night I couldn't sleep. I was having great anxiety and just feeling super horny. I was having a lot of shitty thoughts and my brain just asking me to touch myself and look at girls on my phone. But guess what? I was so determined that I told myself, I don't mind staying up all night and having these thoughts but I AM NOT GIVING IN. It is currently 7 am and I am up and started my day.

I am just surprised by how much my brain has been affected by my actions throughout the years eh. its crazy but its a new day today! let's conquer it. I also hit the gym today and spent time with family.
I am a little behind but AWESOME job here - being willing to stay up all night is sooo powerful. I found that even if I stayed up all night to beat an urge, a lot of the time I'd wake up feeling great

Day 14: 2 whole weeeks! Super proud of this! it felt easier than ever thanks to journaling here every day. Going to continue this. DAY 30 I AM COMING FOR YOU!

Beautiful day today, I got a job and its a fully remote one so I will be at home most of the time, which is kind of a bummer because I wanted to go out and interact with people, but I can work in my pjs so I can't complain hah. Going to the gym today and doing some meditation today. Haven't been meditating the last couple of days I completely forgot due to the interview stress, but I am back at it today. Monk Mode??

I wanna hear about your day and journey upto DAY 14, share in the comments I would love to read.

Have a nice day y'all.

Day 15: Halfway there!

just a chill day today. I got a job recently but I have another interview tomorrow kinda nervous but we're here to kill it!

Been having very strong morning woods and I generally feel good. I find myself having to restrain myself from touching myself when I am not fully in my conscious (like while sleeping or early morning when I get the woods). but as soon as I realize it, I avoid it.

Went to meet my girl yesterday we didn't do anything sexual but just huggin, kissing and talking. I actually got super turned on just from the slight body contact I swear haha it was weird. My dick got hard so fast when I went to hug her from the back. but I really think I should try having sex soon and see how I can manage to handle the situation. (Wednesday forsho).

Anyways, Have a good day y'all.

Sounds good, keep it up!
I have also experienced that it is easier to get into a conversation.

Day 17:

damn days seem to be lowkey flying. Test drove a car. The car market is so whack rn holy! cant get a new car until the next 6 months! and plus used cars are equally expensive. So chalked. but I work from home so I can wait a bit on buying a car.

Anyways, Yesterday I unintentionally came across some explicit content but I didn't spend more than 5 minutes on it. I deleted it and didn't go back but I felt as if I shouldn't have done that, but I also feel that things like that which come unexpectedly cant be avoided. So I let it be.

Had a strong morning wood today as well... I am going to meet up with my girl tomorrow and see how it turns out to be. wish me luck hah I hope I don't get anxious.

Have a blessed day ya'll.
