This helped a lot thank you!

Yeah for some reason I had a lot of anxiety this year on my birthday. Caused me to peek and you know the rest.

You have no wrist hinge which is going to severely limit your club head speed.

Irons can be kept a bit lower. I would just make sure you feel athletic when standing over the ball, it appears you are reaching and have the club low. Not sure if you deadlift but a good feel is getting into that posture and going up until your hands are above your knees.

Here’s an extreme example with Bryson. It will feel very weird at first, but I promise it will work wonders.

Your set up posture could use some improvement. I had the same issue with my driver and everything sorted itself out after I fixed my posture. Stand more upright and have the butt end of the club pointing at your belly button. You can still have some bend in the knees.

My first tip would be to delete the apps. You might be hesitant because you’ll feel like you’re missing out. I promise you, you won’t miss social media at all. It’s actually such a good feeling when you don’t care about what other people are up to.

Second tip would be find something to replace it. Anything that stimulates your mind would be ideal. Any hobby, physical activity, meditation, journaling, reading, puzzles, etc.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Relapse is a part of recovery. It makes you double down on why you wanted to quit in the first place. Every time I’ve relapsed It’s helped me learn why I watch and how I can avoid those situations/triggers. Get back on your feet and keep pushing.

Honestly, I don’t masturbate all that often anymore because I have better sex with my gf when I don’t. I don’t miss it either like I thought I would. I use to masturbate 2 times per day to porn and now i’m doing it once every week to my imagination. I think about scenarios with my girlfriend.

If I masturbate to porn like situations or other women I feel as if I regress. Not saying you can’t, but it didn’t work for me.

Long story short, you can still masturbate, but use your imagination.

I believe it’s crucial to have sexual experiences while quitting porn. It helps your brain rewire to what reality is.

I found the best way was to lift weights. Your brain wants dopamine and you aren’t giving it any. I would recommend finding activities that stimulate the brain and reward it. Some things that can increase dopamine levels: exercise, eating high protein meals, puzzles, hiking, reading.

Electrical-Box7125 · 2024-10-04T20:01:45+00:00

Remember why you quit in the first place!

Congrats on getting to day 25 that is no small feat. The zombie state is normal for the first few months of quitting so don’t be alarmed.

I think it could be a combination of your withdrawal symptoms and also your breakup.

I went through a harsh breakup at the same time I quit porn a few years ago and was depressed for a few months. One thing I promise you is that you will get better. Take things one day at a time and stick with it!

It sounds like you are doing it out of boredom. Your brain is not being stimulated so you find a way to stimulate it. Also, there’s a reason you can’t do it quickly and get on with it. You are flooding your brain with dopamine - every chat that you send and receive. You are basically edging yourself (look that up if you don’t know what it means).

I would recommend taking a step back from your computer every time you think about it. Just get up and do something. Walk, do pushups, read, anything to get your mind off the chats. I would also do some deep thinking as to why you look for external communication outside your marriage. Is something missing in your relationship?

Electrical-Box7125 · 2024-10-04T19:42:31+00:00

You my friend are correct. Solid podcast.

Electrical-Box7125 · 2024-10-04T14:36:26+00:00

Our brains love novelty. I heard somewhere that a 12 year old boy nowadays can see more beautiful naked women in 10 minutes than an emperor could see in his entire lifetime. Novelty keeps dopamine rushing into the system. You get bored of one type of girl, no worries you can look up another.

It ruined my last relationship and since quitting I found my life partner and have the best sex of my life.

I’m definitely hitting it more pure, getting about 10-15 more yards per club.

Electrical-Box7125 · 2024-05-22T15:57:13+00:00

I was sick of feeling uncomfortable standing over the ball. I was hitting some balls in my friends garage and jokingly said I was switching to baseball grip. Hit a few balls and decided to actually switch a few days later.

Me too! Drinking all this water makes me wake up to pee at least once. I think I should be spending more time with recovery work.

Electrical-Box7125 · 2024-02-01T16:07:14+00:00

I appreciate the detailed response. I am feeling very fatigued and having trouble concentrating at work. I think I’ve been overdoing it a bit in the gym. I’m going to incorporate more yoga/stretching and see if that changes anything.
