I have posted in the past in the 30-39 group, but just turned 40. I have been away from journaling for a while, so lets give this another try.

Motivations:
  1. I just turned 40.
  2. This life those not align with what I consider is a full and quality life.
  3. The effects of it are all negative (erratic thoughts, tunnel attention, low libido, low confidence)
Strategies:
  1. radically accept I have a problem
  2. love myself
  3. wholesome eating and social life
  4. daily exercise
  5. enjoying simple things and family
  6. being present in the moment
  7. remind myself of no positive effects, just negative
  8. understand the biological and psychological basis of this addiction
  9. practice spirituality
  10. practice my hobbies regularly
  11. journal my journey here
That is all I got for now.

Day 15.

Yesterday had some struggles being unexpectedly alone at home, but was able to get through. I reminded myself of my goals, about the lies of PMO and got distracted taking care of some plants.

Day 18

Some thoughts here and there, but still think Im riding on the coattails of the birthday momentum.

Also still strong on the basic healthy habits, I hope I can keep it up, because it also helps with my overall wellness.

I have not journaled as I wanted to, I have to see how I can atomic-habit incorporate that into something already in place.

Welcome, @OrangeSpider! Like @GBS said, over here we have it all figured out. Er, except maybe this one little thing.

Seriously, glad you are still fighting the good fight. If I've learned anything, it is that it doesn't matter how many times you lose to the temptation, it only matters that you keep getting up. And you're quite right about the basic habits: this whole thing is about self-discipline.
