Yes, it was very enjoyable. thank you @Androg.

I plan to have a productive day with limited phone use and remain in control.

Day 10

I’ll start implementing a good way to radically change my mindset when I’m feeling low and wanted to share in case anyone would want to try it out. I bought about 40 pounds of ice yesterday and took a 10 minute ice bath. It was pretty rough for a few minutes but the relaxed feeling I had for a couple hours afterward made it all worth it. Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses how cold exposure can naturally increase dopamine and has been used in addiction recovery. Give it a try!

That sounds pretty intense @AJ7.

It was intense @Blondie! My pecker just about shriveled into nothing but it was worth it.

I enjoy Huberman as well. He has so much practical advice about optimizing health. Definitely so much to learn from him.

Day 14

I’ve been slowing down and going with the flow of life. It takes work but surrendering worry and anxiety has been very freeing.

Day 19

feeling sluggish today from not much sleep at all last night. Need to be careful as this can be a vulnerable state for me. Plan to go to bed very early tonight.

Day 0

I’ve been relapsing these past few days. It happened after a couple sleepless nights last week and I let it drag out much longer than it should have. A few things to learn are to resist less and to trust that the urge will pass no matter how exhausted I might be.

 

[Androg]

Sorry to hear of your setback. "When you're already in a hole...stop digging,"

 

[Blondie]

You got this @AJ7. You just have to get back up and keep on moving.

One day at a time.

Best

Day 1

Thank you @Androg and @Blondie. I’ll learn from it and move forward. A new daily goal of mine - stay humble.

Day 2

feeling down today. The weight of my porn problem was shown last night. my wife wanted intimacy and I couldn’t get my equipment to operate. Feels like a punch to the gut and I’m disappointed I wasn’t able to perform and show her affection in that way. We didn’t talk about it but I could tell she was wondering what was going on.

 

[Blondie]

Sorry to hear this brother. Use this for great motivation.
