No Fap, day 2 check in

Day 2, has already been hard. Had a very disturbing dream last night that had some very weird sexual connotations. I had just ended a 10 day streak but lost it due to lack of motivation. Which is ironic considering how much effort I’ve been putting into NoFap. Just a check in, prayers out to anyone else in this journey and prayers would be appreciated as well, God bless

Welcome Jon! You are not alone; there are many of us here recovering from the same thing. Search “PMO” “porn” “sex” or similar and you’ll find many relevant threads.

Keep moving forward, one step at a time. Porn is a hyper stimulus that is unhelpful. As you walk your sobriety journey you will find there are other ways to get the healthy involvement and pleasure you need. Creative things are helpful - cooking, crafting, writing, art, anything that’s about creation and expression is very satisfying - and healthy social groups are good too. There are many others too!

Never give up. You deserve a safe, healthy life.

There are innumerable reasons for wanting to break an addiction or habit - when you are tempted to break the rules of your sobriety, take a moment to remember WHY. That has been my strongest anchor throughout my many attempts at sobriety! Welcome to a second home.
