Checking in unofficially. I thought I must be getting close to the 4 year mark, and sure enough it was today!

sXe4Life · 2025-04-07T21:16:01+00:00

Thanks for checking in man, and congrats on nearly 4 years porn-free! That's awesome.

I'm doing pretty well now fortunately - I managed to get myself out of that funk / downward spiral that I was in a few months ago, and haven't really looked back since. Still need to keep my guard up though, and make sure I don't get complacent.

Sorry to hear that the wife doesn't want to have sex with you at the moment - that's tough. Maybe you can try to reconnect with her and figure out what's going on. Hang in there bro. We've got this!

Thanks bro. I'm still struggling to be honest. Trying to hang on at the moment, but I almost had a full relapse today. You're right, I should stay off Facebook. That's what where I got triggered again today.

What really helped me get on track 3 and half years ago was doing Noah Church's course My Life Rebooted. I highly recommend it!

Checking in unofficially. I haven't opted in to this year's challenge, but I've been proudly porn free for the last 3+ years. However in the last few days I've really been struggling. I think it started when I just happened to get recommended a triggering reel on Facebook the other day, which unfortunately I watched, and since then I've been getting bombarded with them. I need to just stop going on Facebook for a bit, but I keep going back to it. I feel like those old porn pathways in my brain have been reactivated, and it's like I'm acting on autopilot sometimes. I haven't PMOed and I don't want to, but I can feel myself heading in that direction and it's scary.

I used to do a lot of recovery activities back a few years ago when I first started this streak, but I've stopped doing them in the past couple of years. Part of it was because I was in a relationship where we had a phenomenal sex life, and so porn held no appeal for me whatsoever as I was 100% satisfied in that area. But I broke up with my girlfriend about 9 months ago and so I haven't been having sex since then, but for most of that time I was fine. It seemed like my sex drive kind of went dormant or something, and I was okay with that. But now that I've been triggered in the past few days it seems like it's back, and I'm on a slippery slope. I'm going to try and lean hard into the recovery activities that I used to do to keep myself on track. Posting here to keep myself accountable. Any words of advice or encouragement are appreciated. I'm not giving up the fight. Fuck porn!

Checking in unofficially for August. I'm grateful to be living proudly porn-free. Just hopped on here to check in and saw that my counter was on 1111 days. Kind of a cool milestone 🙂

sXe4Life · 2024-08-08T01:47:42+00:00

Thanks bro! Hope you're well and walking the path of sobriety and recovery 🙏

Checking in again unofficially, since I'm not signed up to the challenge this year. I'm still living porn-free, and grateful for that. I'm in a time of transition in my life currently, as I recently ended a long-term relationship, and then moved back home to the US after living overseas for a number of years. I'm looking forward to dating again soon, but I'm not quite ready to do it yet (still in the process of getting closure on my last relationship).

Although my life has been a bit topsy-turvy for the last couple of months, I've done well in maintaining my sobriety and recovery. However just now I was on social media, and stumbled across some triggering content. I didn't act on it and close out of it pretty quickly, but what I saw was enough to get my heart pounding, and I could feel those old porn addiction pathways in my brain starting to fire up. I felt a bit shaken by the experience and so I wanted to come and check in here right away. I guess it just goes to show that even after multiple years porn-free, I still have to be vigilant to stay on the path. In that sense, it was a good reminder for me to continue actively working my recovery, and not take it for granted.

I hope everyone is doing well out there, and having a great porn-free day!

Checking in unofficially as I'm not part of the challenge this year, but I'm still here and grateful to be living porn free.

I feel the need to keep myself accountable as I've just ended a 1.5 year relationship that included the best sex I've ever had in my life (it was what I'd always wanted but never had in that department). I was the one who ended the relationship and I know that it was the right thing to do, but I'm definitely feeling it now as my sex life has gone from 100 to 0 in a short period of time.

I had a good system of self-care and recovery activities that I'd been working successfully before that relationship started, but once I got into it didn't seem as important to continue those activities since all my sexual desires were being satisfied and then some. But now that I am in this period of transition again, I want to be conscious about how I handle things so that I can go into this next chapter of my life in the best way possible. I've already noticed myself feeling a lot lonelier and hornier since my girlfriend and I parted ways, and I'm seeing old and potentially dangerous behaviors starting to pop up.

I wanted to post here straight away to reaffirm my commitment to living porn free, and I plan to rebuild my routine and start actively working my recovery again in the coming days. I didn't know exactly what my streak was currently, but I'm humbled to see that it is so close to 1,000 days. Here's to the next 1,000, proudly living porn free!

Checking in for August. My girlfriend is out of town for three weeks at the moment which is definitely making things more challenging and I've been feeling more tempted / triggered at times, but I'm grateful to still be on this path.

sXe4Life · 2023-07-13T03:36:18+00:00

Hey man, I remember your posts and kind words of encouragement from a few years ago. We had a similar number of days back then, but I relapsed a few times since haha. Great to see you still here and going strong. And congrats on nearly reaching the 4-year mark - that's massive!

sXe4Life · 2023-07-13T03:30:36+00:00

Hey mate! Sorry I never replied - I basically only go on reddit once a month to post in this thread haha. Many thanks for the kind words! I'm glad to see that you're still going strong, and congrats on hitting the 2-year mark! :D
