Well done to you! English isn’t my first language so I’m sort of certain as to what PMO is. You should be so proud of yourself. Keep going, friend. You’ve got this! 42 days is incredible! Let’s make it to 50.
44 days ditto……
Well done Duncan way to get through the weekend.
@Lile01
PMO from my understanding as I’m fairly new here is:
P=pornography
M=masturbate
O=orgasm
So it is basically a cycle many sex/porn addicts find they get trapped in where they watch porn masturbate and orgasm. It can have devastating consequences in our lives and an impact on regular sexual encounters. And as addicts to it we are powerless to break that cycle. Maybe that clears up the meaning a bit. It is like far more complex but that’s the basics at least
Being brave and coming back here and saying day 1 because maybe just maybe by admitting that I can get myself out of the cycle and back on track. Also a guy on here commented about how there’s nothing wrong with the M in PMO. I just have to say sir you are a j*** for coming on an addicts post and saying there’s nothing wrong with their addiction. Would you go on a heroin addicts page and say there’s nothing wrong with smoking it as long as you’re not shooting up. That aside I’d appreciate if that person doesn’t comment here again…. Hopefully I’ll be back for day 2!
What are you going to do differently to the last time? Perhaps it’s time to drop the dating apps for a sustained period of time until mentally you’re in a much better place?
Good question. Honestly I think 45 days was a pretty freaking good effort. I honestly let a previous commenter get in my head about something and kinda just validated a behaviour as ok. Probably not listen to any of you haha coz I doubt anyone in here actually has full abstinence from PMO currently for a long period of time or at least I can’t see anyone posting about their experience with it so thanks for your comment but it’s not necessary I’m just using this as a journaling mechanism don’t require your unsolicited questions
45 days is excellent, it really is from any type of addiction so you should be proud.
I was only asking because in any addiction you should look at what caused the breaking of recovery and look to improve it though I accept it doesn’t read particularly well so I’m sorry about that.
Keep going but do keep an open mind to suggestions and people posting, not all will be useful but some will
Day 2. Had some minor urges was able to navigate with relative ease.
Day 3. No major issues.
Good work Duncan. Staying connected is important.
Thank you this is the only place I felt instinctively ok to come to.
Day 4. Tired.
Day 5 not really sure what to say
No need to say anything my friend. Congrats on day 5!
Day 6 ditto
Made it to 1 week
Yay! I see you are staying connected here. Keep it going! I know you can did do this!
Thank you kindly. 8 days today.
Yahoo! Keep those days stacking up!
Good work Duncan!
