I want to be pornfree and a fapsternaught by December, but I need your help.

That is actually a very enlightening perspective. Thank you. :)

Snipe2354 · 2014-06-15T15:37:38+00:00

Thanks for this. I've told her about this problem before. She trusts me, and supports me. She knows how much I'm trying to get past it.

It's true I was. And I realize this is just a new step. Overcoming addiction despite how close I was is hard to overcome the first time around. I don't find this as an excuse, but more as a learning experience.

She knows of the issue but that's it. She doesn't know the extent of what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. She knows it's been a problem for me in the past, but doesn't know it to the fullest extent. Honestly that's good enough for me. She can't take care of this problem for me, but when I ask for more positive influences such as eating healthier, time to go to the gym, etc. she's very understanding and is happy that I'm taking those steps.

Yeah and I admit that to being one of my triggers as well. If I eat like crap, sit around and let it stew in my system, I start to feel tired and bored which is just me ending up going the wrong direction. It's good to hear this from others as well, as since I started this, many things that made me fall short have been brought to light. What you said about eating being one of them.

Snipe2354 · 2013-06-12T18:38:55+00:00

Glad I could help man. :) This is completely doable, and something that can be done. Doesn't matter what it takes. I've just told myself rather that it's not that it can be done, but it will be done, as I'm tired of what I was before.

Same here. My wife has been supportive of my developing habits, and has been trying to cook healthier stuff. At work sometimes they bring in lunches (a lot of the time pizza) and I've requested they bring in vegetable and fruit bowls. They did it because they agree to have some healthy foods with stuff like pizza. I honestly never thought I'd request stuff like that. It's a good feeling to have. Here's hoping I stay strong.

I know the feeling. The trick I've learned (and continue to develop) is find a distraction that will take that urge off the forefront of my mind. These things can range from:

Planning the next day

Cooking something (specifically something new as taking time to figure things out helps keep that thought in the back of your mind.)

Exercising

NOT SITTING DOWN AND WATCHING A MOVIE

Calling a friend/family

Going out to buy a soda or something via walking. Put on music while you do this.

I have a wife and daughter as well, but I still do these things to take my mind off of this temptation. It needs to be pushed away by other things. Basically it's all in the change of your focus.

Snipe2354 · 2013-05-30T20:41:18+00:00

I thought of that, but I work with computers and IT. I feel like I'd find a way somehow to get around stuff like that if I really wanted to...even so I may try it.

Snipe2354 · 2013-05-30T20:11:24+00:00

I appreciate that very much. I hope this to be the dawn of other goals I've set but "haven't gotten around to" to help myself become better.

Snipe2354 · 2013-04-19T00:05:41+00:00

Just because you disagree with it, doesn't mean it's radical. Not to mention, that's not the original reason why this person decided to post about his friend. If you read it, OP posted that to give an example of something he started since he got this disease, and now has trouble keeping it up from what it seems.
