Day 1 Porn free

It’s been a pretty good day today. I didn’t have that many triggers and I got through the day with ease. But I’ve tried doing this before and I learned the it gets harder and harder as you go on. But by 2 weeks I think I’ll have the hang of it and I will not think about doing it as often. Is it normal to try and stop when your 14? Because I’ve seen that I’ve been doing it daily and I’m not very proud of myself for that. I don’t know why I do it. I don’t feel good after so what’s the point of doing it. I could take any tips from you guys to try and help me get porn free. Also isn’t isn’t it kinda healthy to do it sometimes? That’s what I heard online. I don’t know it it’s true. This has been day one and I’m proud of myself for making it through today.

Day 2 porn free

Today was also a pretty good day. I also only had mild triggers today but I’m proud of myself for getting past them. I know that you get dopamine for M, so I need to find a different way to get dopamine. I will gladly take any ideas. I was thinking whenever I get horny I would just listen to music. That usually always gets me sidetracked so I would forget about being horny. I could also go biking or go for a couple mile jog. I’m just proud of myself for making it past day 2. The other times I’ve tried doing this was a couple months back and I didn’t get past 10 day. My first goal is going to be 2 weeks. I think that is a pretty good goal. And I’ve just recently gotten a girlfriend and I really want to tell my mom about her. But I’m too nervous to, so I don’t know what I should do. This has been a great second day. Peace.

Sounds like you're doing well. Congrats on the GF! It's not so much that you need dopamine, as that you need to know what to do when cravings hit (until you're through the withdrawal), such as "emergency pushups" and cold showers.

Some of the things that help balance your brain the most are daily exercise. Meditation or prayer. Socializing, of course. Time in nature. And something constructive that gives you a sense of achievement. Figure out what works for you. GL!

I relapsed a couple of days ago and I haven’t been doing this for a couple days. But I’m actually going to try and do this. Every time I tried doing this I failed. But I have to stay focused. If I ever get tempted I will get Spotify open or play my instrument. Those usually helped me when I got tempted. I have to stop this. I am sick and tired of it. I don’t know why I do it, whenever I do it I don’t feel good and it brings my self esteem down. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I really have to quit, for my family and my future. Tomorrow I will not do it and I will get on a good start.

Your determination is a good start.

A good next step is to figure out your triggers (being home alone, being bored, being tired, etc.) and be ready with a list of alternative activities for when they strike. Also, know that triggers will pass. You don't need to act on them to get rid of them. Train yourself to watch them and move your attention elsewhere while they fade on their own.
