You are a good man bob.

Same here bob, I have a warm bodied wife at home that would  live to "get it on" I need to remember that when I want to get high with my phone. At any rate, bob, I'm glad you're  not leaving us. As I said earlier. ..we have A LOT OF WORK TO DO. Stay strong, and keep thinking of that sexy wife, wanting to have fun

 

[bob]

Reset.

Sucks but I'm up and moving forward. Will be staying off the Net for a while. At this point, I guess there are just too many triggers.

Until you want to get off the porn, and decide. You've had enough,  you will find a way, to get on the Internet. I hope the best for u bob

I say this with love man....

There are only 2 days of the year you have no control over. Tomorrow, and Yesterday.  Today you can control. Today you can make it through.  Just fucking get through today man.  Do not worry about anything beyond that.


One of the things that helped me tremendously is that someone told me I could control what that little voice inside me says...  So when my brain says "fuck it, I can't do this"...  I actually have to identify it, and take control.  And say "Actually, I can do this!"

Now that you understand its actually the hit of dopamine you crave.... and porn delivers it....  you need to train yourself to say that "its only a hit of dopamine, thats all.  I can live today without it."

Best of luck my friend.

Come on bob, get back in the game. We are all fighting the same demon here. We are all having a hard time, everyday. This place is better, with you here with us battling

Hey Bob, Hang in there. You can do this. I know how it is when you think you have a handle on this and it just jumps back up and grabs a hold of you. It is scary as shit.
You have to do what you think is best for yourself. I know sometimes with me if I spend too much time reading and thinking about how to conquer my addiction it detracts from actively pursuing the things that will do just that. Real relationships and connecting with people.

 

[bob]

Two nights in a hotel and the dopamine devil was held at bay. Quite an accomplishment it is, it is.

The process continues...

 

[hoopvol]

Yes.... You can!!

 

[jstock]

Very good bob. I bet that was tough. That takes areal warrior to keep the motel, dopamine demon away.

 

[bob]

Thanks Jaystock,

You comment on it being a chemical dependency somehow helped. It allowed me to realize that it wasn't some much a basic need but a drug calling out for an invitation to visit; "you know, it will just be a short visit..."

Nope. Not gonna go there.

Hey Bob....just wanted to say hi.

It's good to see you here.

I hope all is well with you.

NGU

 

[bob]

Thanks for your thoughts. Ben going through a bit of a rough patch. Hope it's getting better.

 

[jstock]

I'm thinking  about you bob, keep up the fight, we will win

 

[bob]

You guys don't know how much I appreciate that you are thinking of me. It really means a lot as this past couple weeks have been rough.

 

[Poker]

You're taking back you life.  Think about how huge that is.  Think about how much time this addiction has robber from you...

Be proud of yourself.  While you will not get the time back....  think of all the living that is in front of you.

Start making a bucket list....  Go Zip Lining...  Hiking...  Something on a Boat.. 

Shit that you want to do that you would never just go out and do.  Think outside the box.  Start living.

Cheers!

Hey Bob. Just checking in. Congratulations on making it to 30+ days brother. I read your posts often and I've just read some of your encouraging posts on other threads here. You're a great guy and a valued member of the nation so please keep sharing. Be well brother. PORN IS NOT AN OPTION.

 

[bob]

Thanks Lyon,

Hadn't noticed that I was up to 30+ days. Had to check my spreadsheet as I didn't think I had gone that far.

Continue to work on it and hearing from others helps.

 

[bob]

Just had the glorious experience of making love to a real women; my lovely wife. I mention not to boast but to remind myself how wonderful this is in comparison to whacking willy in a dark room illuminated with only a monitor.

NO Comparison what so ever

If I can keep this dear to my heart I am truly on my way.

Just made me smile@!@! ;D


And now to return the favor.  It only gets better from here.  At the rate you're going, a year from now Mr Winkie down there will be Mr Automatic. 


Cheers!
