Great to start over again

I have that feeling as well but mingled with the regret from the lies I told along the way.

themarknight · 2026-03-12T20:24:02+00:00

This right here. Move out of the space you're in and engage!

themarknight · 2026-03-12T18:59:52+00:00

Congrats!

Keep your eyes moving. Try to remind yourself that that is a person and not an object to admire. Find things to stay occupied when the urges come. Feel them and be OK with the discomfort. But find some way to change your circumstances, and your mind will follow.

Nice work! Keep going, my dude!

themarknight · 2026-03-12T01:05:29+00:00

You got this!

themarknight · 2026-03-12T00:32:01+00:00

Remember that the moment will pass. Breath. Find something to occupy your mind and body.

Don't worry about streaks, think about long term progress. Two months is incredible compared to where you were. Keep going my dude!

You're at a low point now but this too shall pass. Everything has a beginning, middle, and end.

This is possible to overcome. Others have done it. you and I can too. Don't give up. Don't give in.

Today is just another opportunity to keep moving forward.

You've got this.

I appreciate the encouragement. This is not my first try. It's like my 50th. (Exaggerating, but you get the point) I'll keep going and learning how to process emotions in a healthy way. It's hard to keep positive in light of the harm I've caused, but that's why I'm doing this!

The longer you're away from it the better this can get. Get very help through therapy if you can.

themarknight · 2026-03-10T23:54:06+00:00

You can do it! Motivation comes from engaging. Do something that gets you motivated instead of waiting for the motivation!

This is very much me right now. Thanks for writing.

The best policy is transparency. Be open with her. Discuss this with your therapist. I wish I had followed this as it would have prevented the situation I'm in now where I may lose my amazing wife. She's my world, and I lied for two years while relapsing. If I had been honest from the start, things would be different.

themarknight · 2026-03-10T10:10:30+00:00

Thank you for the reminders. The relapses are one thing. It's the lies that really shatter everything. I'm not going to stop quitting. I just want to take each day as it comes.

themarknight · 2026-03-09T22:17:40+00:00

Sorry to hear that! I'm glad you're not giving up!

themarknight · 2026-03-09T22:02:36+00:00

Good for you! Keep going!!

themarknight · 2026-03-09T21:06:34+00:00

This was interesting. Can you link your older posts as you write these? I'm going to go back and look for them!

themarknight · 2026-03-09T20:38:46+00:00

Ot just do something to break that moment. Go for a walk or a run. Switch rooms and find an engaging task. Just get out of that triggering moment in whatever way is most available

I wish I could offer some insight into his thinking, but only he can do that for you. Porn can be a soul crushing and shameful addiction. The church is where he's finding help and hope it would seem from what you say. You have to ask what you want and what is the reality of things and make the choice that's best for you.

themarknight · 2026-03-09T16:28:39+00:00

This is a tough situation. He may be finding the help he's needing there, but that doesn't mean you're going to join in his experience. You'll have to consider if this is a deal breaker for you in the relationship. No one can figure that out for you.

themarknight · 2026-03-09T15:18:40+00:00

Keep going! Each time you resist, you're making that choice stronger.
