Just wanted to start a thread for my journey ! Since I didnt start one when I began. I am excited to be on this journey. Its helping me in so many aspects of my life! My house is clean from being distracted from thoughts (I’m a messy person!) my time is more productive, and my relationship is being strengthened. Plus I’m thinking not touching myself will strenghten my sex life as we have sex maybe 7x a year😯
Cheers to 3 days sober and trucking along through day 4 today!!! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
Keeping my mind busy! And reminding myself how frustrating it is to constantly wash my hands when I fidget…which ends up in me masterbating because boredom led to fidgeting which led to hey this’ll waste time!!! So by not fidgeting I have less urges, only fidgeted twice over the 4 days and stopped when I realized I was doing it. Cleaning the house when I get urges and damn I LOVE how spotless it is!!! Sobriety rocks!
@Robin haha ya my phone is brutal…I waited 10 minutes and gave up hoping it would post after😂 It did say upload saved though lol. Thanks for addressing that, you’re an awesome mod!
I hit double digits! I am so proud of myseld. And also, gotta say not masterbating…the sex with my spouse the other day the BEST sex we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to hit the day 30 mark!
I’m in Europe so my day is just starting. I have been watching porn and masterbating for a lot of years now and I am soooo sick of it. I been to 12 step programme and counselling and I always went back watching porn. Because my iPhone and iPad is only a reach away I am close to acting out So today is a big day for me I am going to be focused on the big PRIZE.
Sitting all alone in my apartment at the moment. BIG BIG urge to watch porn. I am at my most vulnerable when I am alone. I think the urge has moved on . Writing this has been a big help
So sorry I didn’t make it past the first day. Am not giving up although I feel like it. I’m now getting rid of all the porn from my devices. It’s the only way .
I’m happy to hear writing it has helped. I struggle the same as I work from home so I’m alone all day. It’s tough. Just gotta find ways to distract yourself
Today’s a new day! It’s tough but that’s why it’s called a journey maybe see if there’s some sort of porn blocking app you can install. I know they have some for computers but never tried on phone. Don’t beat yourself up. One day at at time
Thanks for the support Miguel the in laws will be visiting this weekend so I’ll be busy which is nice. So I know I will be good untI Monday when work week starts again.
I know exactly how your feeling. I’m there as well. I really want to get well. I can’t have porn at my fingertips when I’m triggered. Tomorrow it all has to go and it will. We will get better together
Looking back on my life I was always scared of LIFE. Life like work, social occasions, rearing children, I ran from them all into addiction and I am still running up to 3 days ago. I have been addicted to sex since I was a teenager and although I tried various things things to stop I didn’t REALLY WANT TO STOP. 72 hours ago I made a serious decision to STOP AND SO FAR SO GOOD.
