Day 8 (again),

Sorry for no post last night. I got back late. Another successful day without masturbation. I can definitely tell that the desire is coming back. I also met a pretty sweet girl the other day so other desires are coming as well! And let me tell you it feels so much better than artificial sexual stimuli!

Days 7-10 = HARDCORE MODE!

Day 9,

Another successful day! But I have had many stressors at work. I constantly find myself needing 5-10 minute breaks due to anxieties and fears I have from childhood. Long story short, I grew up in a dysfunctional family and I work in a school district. I have trouble being around groups of people and authority figures. Many of the therapy groups I have gone to have said that growing up in a dysfunctional family makes one vulnerable to addictions. I figured this is where I picked up my brief pornography addiction. I hope that more therapy will help me in my long-term goals of recovery.

During this time I have also found myself meeting attractive women. And let me tell everyone that having a good conversation with an attractive woman is much more satisfying than watching pornography.

Still going on Hardcore Mode!
