The Road Less Travelled

[Shodan]

Much much much appreciated my bro! Last time I walked this high road thinking I was over the hill but this time my guard has remained up and firmly UP! I’m happy to have come this far and everyday from here is further than I’ve ever been, hope fully it’s the same for you. I can see you’re at 510+ days which is amazing! Can you see it? Can you see the finish line?! It’s within sight for us both and GODSPEED for it!

Let’s finish it!

THIS! This is what I love about counting and knowing in general where you're at, because the feeling you get knowing you're beyond anything you've ever done before is contagious and builds momentum.

Can you see it? Can you see the finish line?! It’s within sight for us both and GODSPEED for it!

Yes I can. I'll see you there.

Let's remember our lessons and keep on trucking.

Best

It’s crazy isn’t it! You get to this stage and realise something like “aah, so this is what it feels like”. I’m amazingly inspired going forward. Remember our lessons YES! Thou must never forget lest we start from scratch which I will NEVER and I do mean NEVER go through again!

Let’s get it!

How's it feel, @Shodan, being PAST two years clean? You're in new territory.

Thanks for inspiring.

Love,
Blondie

Hey @Blondie, 2 years and 2 weeks today and it feels amazing. If I’m honest, I’m happy to sit where I currently am within myself and enjoy, rather bask, in this unchartered sense of freedom. I’m not greatly concerned about rewiring just yet. When the time comes the time comes but it isn’t a priority. It’s crazy when I think that in all the years I’ve been alive (38) this is the most liberated I’ve been my entire adult life and certainly since I was 14 years old. I’ve sort of reached a point where p.o.r.never is a distant memory. I’ll be vigilant my whole life about never falling back down that shit-hole I crawled out of (like wow, I was actually there once!) but no more or less vigilant than I am about never shooting heroin or smoking crack (things I’ve never done btw). The dangers are everywhere but so is my awareness, OUR AWARENESS. This is the stage where our experience in the toxic world and our efforts to escape it will ensure our safety, survival and our ability to thrive in the long term. Imagine, there are millions around the globe who, unlike us, are COMPLETELY UNAWARE. I’m glad I’ve made it this far and I’m calmly-excited about the future. Your are where you are supposed to be my friend, on your walk to freedom! VIVE LA LIBERTÉ! 🫡

Love,
Shodan

Hey @Blondie, 2 years and 2 weeks today and it feels amazing.

Dude, I'm so fucking happy for you. To get to that new horizon, whether that be 3 days, 90 days, or 2 years is exhilarating. Compared to the days of looking at porn, it's a high that porn can never compare with.

If I’m honest, I’m happy to sit where I currently am within myself and enjoy, rather bask, in this unchartered sense of freedom.

Please, bask in it!

It’s crazy when I think that in all the years I’ve been alive (38) this is the most liberated I’ve been my entire adult life and certainly since I was 14 years old.

Yes, I get this. To count all the days and all the years can be a humbling experience, but here we are, never giving up and experiencing freedom like never before.

I’ve sort of reached a point where p.o.r.never is a distant memory. I’ll be vigilant my whole life about never falling back down that shit-hole I crawled out of (like wow, I was actually there once!) but no more or less vigilant than I am about never shooting heroin or smoking crack (things I’ve never done btw). The dangers are everywhere but so is my awareness, OUR AWARENESS. This is the stage where our experience in the toxic world and our efforts to escape it will ensure our safety, survival and our ability to thrive in the long term

Yes. At the stage, it's about learning more how to deal with the world and its stresses than about "fighting" porn per se. I definitely get what you mean here. The whole thing about being vigilant your whole life rings true for me too. I used to think that seemed "too much work" to always "be on your guard" but now it seems easy compared to crawling out of the pit that is porn.

Imagine, there are millions around the globe who, unlike us, are COMPLETELY UNAWARE. I’m glad I’ve made it this far and I’m calmly-excited about the future. Your are where you are supposed to be my friend, on your walk to freedom! VIVE LA LIBERTÉ! 🫡

Yes, this is a crazy thing to think about. There are millions out there, and they have no idea. Pat on the back for us.

Thanks for the love my man.

Keep killing it and enjoy your freedom everyday.
