🫡Day 44
No urges today. The momentum I've been able to cultivate is making this journey easier than it has been in the past. Over the past 177 days, I've only engaged in PMO 4 times. Slowly but surely, my brain is healing and the old neural pathways associated with porn are falling into disrepair, while the pathways associated with resisting urges and finding healthier ways to deal with stress are strengthening.

Day 46
No urges today.
Got a migraine early in the morning, which lasted about 4 hours. Before starting on this journey, migraines were something that — for whatever reason — often triggered a relapse. However, at no point did my brain feel like using PMO to drown out the discomfort wrought by the migraine.
Proud of myself for this small victory. It is precisely these small victories, in the aggregate, that lead to success in the long run.

Congrats on the new rank @dienekes1 and congrats on getting through the urges. 
Day 48
No urges, despite a pretty stressful day of military duties. A big part of my job is giving briefings and advising my commander, and I can feel myself becoming a more confident speaker the longer I abstain from PMO. Not being weighed down by the shame and guilt of a porn addiction is a great feeling, and has positively impacted every facet of my life more than I could have imagined.
