Making a daily check in topic

I can’t find a way to keep the streak. I usually write the days in my whiteboard, use an app to check in and so on.
So I thought posting this here with people with the same goal will help me to remember the reason I’m doing this, and to keep me motivated. Also a good reason to check in daily.

What’s your DOC? And how many days do you have now?

Sorry, not a native speaker, I don’t understand what DOC is. I’m trying to quit fapping if that’s the question. I’m trying to see if I can get benefits from it.
I can answer your second question. It’s the first day, so I’m trying to start with the right foot.

How about you?

DOC would be fapping. Addiction comes in all shapes and forms. None of which are good. I hope the first day is going well!

Welcome and Congrats on choosing to quit @blcksndl! DOC is drug of choice. Do you mean vaping? I have been alcohol free for 356 days with help of AA, this app and support from family and friends. Oh yeah and a ton of work. Keep coming back. We all stay sober/healthy together :grin:

Thanks for the definition, Zoesgram1. I meant masturbating. I’m trying to stop that because it also takes valious time, time sometimes I really need (college), time sometimes I could be using to improve myself.
Englishd, I’m doing fine, I’ve been a little busy. I hope I could keep it that way. Thanks for the good wishes.

Thanks @blcksndl. I learned something new today. Keep coming back here there are others here trying to conquer the same addiction.

I’m on the same boat. Pornography and Masturbation addiction. It’s a tough one to break, but I’m working on it one day at a time. Huge killer of time. I have wasted probably months of my life in front of a screen because of it.

Yeah, it’s a big problem, because it is free, and super easy to open the browser and play a video.

Well, I’m checking in for the first day. It is a full day at 1 am, but I’m going to do this at this time, so is easier to be consistent. Thanks for all your comments.

No problem. I get that though. I have pretty much unrestricted access to my DOC because I’m always carrying my phone on me. It’s like an alcoholic carrying a tapped keg in his backpack.

So, second day. Today was very hard, I felt the urges but I could resist.

Yei, it’s almost my third day. I feel like this is really helping me. I was about to relapse, but I remembered I have now a compromise with this thread. I hope no to relapse, specially before Friday.

Fourth day. I’m feeling fine.
