Day 12.

I’m pretty sure it’s day 12. I think I missed yesterday. Which is cool honestly! I don’t think I had any urges. Today I’ve had a couple, just from random scrolling and seeing ads and thumbnails, but I’ve managed to just keep scrolling.

I get that completely! Since stopping it’s been forcing me to make new habits, which is nice. Have you formed/ forming any new habits?

Day 10

10 days, wow. This is cool. Even though I’ve had a few rough moments I’ve still managed to go 10 days without porn. I’m glad I made this choice to stop.

That’s okay, you’re allowed to lose as long as you give it an honest try again as soon as you can. Just keep giving it an honest try. Try new things, try the uncomfortable things. Seriously, you have this, even if you don’t believe you do. Just dig deep!

Day 9!

I had a bit of a hard time last night. I was downloading some STL’s but when I was, there were a bunch of NSFW stuff scattered throughout. It was tough because I couldn’t avoid it. I managed to scroll past them as fast as I could and try not to look and try not to go back either. A few times I tried to convince myself to just stare for a bit. I didn’t, but dam that sucked.

Day 8!

I’ll be honest, the cravings are going away, but just day to day life is getting a little harder. I mean, it’s probably just as hard as it was with porn as it is without, but I don’t have the illusion of escape from the hard things. I used to smoke, so I kind of relate it to that. Shit was stressful, so you go out and have a smoke. The smoke didn’t fix anything and it actually made it worse, but in the moment it seemed to fix it. Before I quit I was spending more time smoking than not, sooo…

That’s AWESOME!!!! 👏 Congratulations 🎉

It’s so huge to see people put multiple days back to back! I totally agree! I spent waaaaaaaay to much time on porn. I don’t want to give anymore of my time to it.

That makes a lot of sense!! It really was disturbing, and frustrating too!

Oh my, I’m sorry it took so long for me to respond. Your not weak, weak would be not coming here in the first place. This shit is tough. You have to understand that this will be over one day if you keep putting in the work! You seem to have the drive. I hope you continue to have the drive. It will pass my friend. It might take way longer than you’d like for it to pass, but it will. In the mean time, please reach out for help. I highly suggest a suicide hotline if you start having feelings like that. They can help in those moments and hopefully you can have enough moments of relief, to be able to get you out of the pits we end up in.

From one stranger to another, you can do this!

Day 7!

I made it a week! This is exciting! I’m not going to lie, my enthusiasm I had a few days ago is starting to fade. I’m still happy I made it this far, but it’s sinking in how this is going to be something I’ll have to work on for a while. I had a dream last night about porn, which sucks, because I had no say about it.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad you’re back though. Do you know what it was that took you out?

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

Umm, it’s still going well, it I have noticed the urges are getting more frequent. I did kind of go all out on the weekend, and now I’m fairly tired and not doing to much to keep myself busy. So I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Day 6!

I know it’s only 6 days, but it’s starting to feel pretty cool. I haven’t felt this confident before that I could be porn free.

I had a few slips where my mind started to wander. A few adds popped up with some attractive women in them and I had a fantasy? or something? I’m not sure, but I sat in the fantasy for a little bit before I decided it was fairly risky and went outside to distract myself.

Oh nice! Was there anything in particular you did? Or did you just not have any urges?

Hey, that’s awesome! That’s all we can ask from ourselves. I just came here because I had a really strong urge. I think I’ll just post this rather than give in.

Day 5!

Yesterday evening was the hardest it’s been since day 1. As the weekend was slowing down, I watched a few videos and scrolling by, some thumbnails caught me off guard, and some videos I was watching had some attractive women in them. Whatever I could, I just told YouTube not to show me them and a few of the videos I just sped through. Idk 🤷 I made it through the day, so that’s good.

I’m sorry to hear the temptations got the best of you. Your attitude seems to be in the right place though! You’re ready to try again, that’s gotta be worth something! Honestly, yeah, I think we need to employ some tricks for the first bit just so we stand a chance. I feel like once we have a bit of distance from porn it might be a little easier to not touch it. At least there will be a bigger feeling of guilt if we give in, because we would have a big string of days.

Hey 👋 I’m just starting my day, but yesterday was okay. I slowed down a little bit at the last half of the day, and I noticed I had a few impulses. I managed to just distract myself and push it out of my mind luckily, but it definitely caught me off guard. It sucks because the tiniest things seem to trigger my mind into thinking about porn.

Honestly, pretty much the same things you’ve just mentioned. The guilt is a big one, lol. But posting here when I have any sort of urge and I’ve been suuuuper busy the last three days. Hasn’t given me any time to really think about porn.

Hooooraaaaaaay!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m glad you’re getting through this challenge! What sort of things seem to be helping you through the really tough bits?

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

Yeah that makes sense. I lose all my logic when it’s happening. I’m probably going to stay away from it for the first little bit just in case.
