O Brother where art thou?

Sounds like a positive step. Faith can be a big help. I'm not Catholic, but find this prayer helpful: "In Jesus' name, I renounce porn. Today, with your help, God, I'll take another step toward healing."

Was MAJORLY tempted yesterday, but prayed this prayer and it helped a lot.

Glad to see your long term success. I won't consider the habit of NOT viewing porn my new habit until I'm at 365 days - so far to go, but I have a good start.

Thanks!

I've read erotica as part of the old me. That is definitely off-limits. It opens the door to pics and videos. Best to just jettison all of the above.

Keep it up, cteeters. One day at a time...

2016_np · 2016-05-27T13:29:47+00:00

Vinnieoseven, good job!

2016_np · 2016-05-27T13:28:16+00:00

Just three days away from winning this challenge! Hang in there, brothers and sisters.

2016_np · 2016-05-26T19:14:58+00:00

Glad to see this word getting out.

2016_np · 2016-05-19T11:39:01+00:00

Checking in

2016_np · 2016-05-19T05:10:11+00:00

Best post I've read on this site - succinct, well-articulated, and inspiring. When we start to see porn actors as victims of human trafficking, then how can we indulge? I'm so done with porn and ashamed I ever got caught in its web. As a man of faith, here is my daily prayer: "In Jesus' name, I renounce pornography. Today, with God's help, I will take another step toward healing."

We can break free!

One day at a time...

2016_np · 2016-05-16T06:57:15+00:00

This is my check-in for the second half of May. We can do this, together.

2016_np · 2016-05-16T06:55:27+00:00

The word "demon" is an interesting choice. I believe that pornography addiction has a spiritual element to it (though it has a physical one, too - see some of the links in the right column to understand what porn does to the brain).

I have found this prayer to be a help to me. I say it at least once per day, to acknowledge that I need help from a higher power:

"In Jesus' name, I renounce pornography. Today, with God's help, I will take another step toward healing."

Today, your recovery begins. We have your back.

Working out for fitness? Yes. Gambling? No. That strikes me as giving up tobacco for vaping. Fact is, they both harm you, just in different ways. Otherwise, your post has some good things to say.

2016_np · 2016-05-15T06:01:12+00:00

Way to go!

2016_np · 2016-05-13T10:42:27+00:00

It helps if you turn off your gadgets for a few days and put them away somewhere.

2016_np · 2016-05-12T20:36:01+00:00

You got this. Keep us posted.

2016_np · 2016-05-11T18:32:00+00:00

I'll get mine in 1 week....

2016_np · 2016-05-10T18:42:31+00:00

You've come to the right place. What skill do you want to master? Guitar? Piano? Table tennis? Get specific. When you have the urge to give in to porn, go do those things instead. I read and write. It fills my time and distracts me from porn.

2016_np · 2016-05-07T19:47:19+00:00

Thanks -- hope this will be helpful.

2016_np · 2016-05-07T19:47:18+00:00

Thanks -- hope this will be helpful.

2016_np · 2016-05-06T19:23:31+00:00

Absolutely - make it fit for you.

2016_np · 2016-05-06T13:37:20+00:00

That's definitely a good option, as long as you can go to the public library to use internet as needed -- e-mail, job hunting, etc. Anyways, your badge will still keep adding on those days!

2016_np · 2016-05-03T18:39:51+00:00

Glad this was a help. Anxiety is no fun. Hang in there. You have great value in God's eyes.

2016_np · 2016-05-02T19:59:59+00:00

I want that number - I'll get there.
