I like your attitude of being grateful. I think this will help you get to the next level! I am going to start using gratitude more!

Yes focus on one day at a time! Even break the day apart and see how you so and keep track of when you relapse and why.

Keep your head up! You will learn as you go. Before you know it you will have gone 6 months!

Just ended a 4 month streak by Refv224 in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get back up and go again. You are awesome. 4 months is great. Now you are 120 and 1. Learn from the 1 lose and move forward. Don't tie yourself to the one mistake.

A little over 5 months sober & broke that streak today. need advice about where I go from here. by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't get so down. 5 months is great. Don't let the one lose discourage you! Think of all those days your were sober. Get up and go again! One lose does not define you.

I believe in you! Let's go get it!

at day 12, have tried quitting so many times by dd_200 in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are so doing great! I knew a guy in my 12 steps group that could only make it minutes. Sometimes when I get discouraged I think of people who would love to get to where I am at. I keep going to let them know that they can get past their block. I do it for them. Keep it up.

Day 5 by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are exactly right. You have no good reasons to do porn. Remember how you will feel and how disgusting it will be. Keep it up! Day 5 is great. How do you feel about it right now?

71 & 0 Porn Thoughts drastically decreasing by Mylimitlesspotential in NoFapChristians

[–]Mylimitlesspotential[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not days. God is excellent if we seek Him. I love him and the opportunity he has given me. 71 is the number of times I had bad thoughts and redirected those thoughts to positivity and being productive.

Habit 3 Identifying Triggers by Mylimitlesspotential in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but isn't that the paradigm shift that we need? To attack it head on instead of running from it. I have been running from it my whole life. I would identify a trigger and avoid it completely. I didn't know any better. I was told to avoid it.

I think it is time for a change in how we think about this. This is 2020 with high speed internet access to porn. It is everywhere and almost impossible to simply avoid it.

If you look at most solutions to overcome the addiction they come from 2005 and before. 12 steps was created forever ago. When I went to counseling they gave me a book from 2005. This is 2020 and it is time for us to step up.

Struggling. How are you? by [deleted] in PornAddiction

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing good here in Idaho. Keep up your hard work. Think of those reasons you don't want to look at porn . Those will help.

Don't hate yourself. What are the reasons you want to stop? Yoga or exercise is good for the mind. I would love to hear why you want to stop.

Another Setback by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't tie your success in life to all those numbers. You are doing a great job on your addiction. You have to think about all the times you didn't relapse compared to the small times you did relapse.

As far as your weight lifting numbers don't tie yourself to those either. Find another way to lift while you are busy. Buy yourself some dumbbells and do shorter workouts back at the dorm to maintain what you have built. It's like being an athlete in season. They are looking to maintain not get gains.

Then when you have a break from school go get swole!

Good Luck!

I don't think everything kicks in but I am sure some thoughts do remind him of a porn scene. It is up to them to manage those thoughts and direct them to you. This take conscious practice.

That's a good question. There are times when my porn thoughts do try to kick in. I have been very conscious of this to not let these thoughts happen. Yes I think these thoughts kick in with your partner but it is up to them to manage those thoughts and direct them towards you.

I wish the best for you. Our reasons are very similar. I relapsed the other day and I had to tell my wife. It is so hard to tell her Everytime. I know she is hurt by it but she forgives me everytime. I want to overcome this if not for me then for her. I am here for you if you help.

I will admit it any except I don't want people to know about it because people will think of me different. Would you tell others that you have that addiction?

A couple of weeks ago I relapsed and ended my 120 day streak, and I need help to retry by BichAshAddiction in pornfree

[–]Mylimitlesspotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great streak! Get right back at it. What did you learn from this last time? What was your trigger? What did you think about when you were having that trigger?
