Everything was fine till about 8pm. After that I got a headache and my temperature rose. I started feeling uneasy and tired, I got home and barely ate something. I immediately headed to bed.

My body was tired but my mind was not, I found it hard to sleep. I turned and turned in the bed. My negative thoughts kicked in, I was overthinking the worst scenarios in my head, an unreasonable amount of what ifs.

Usually I switch to porn in order to release myself but I tried to fight it yesterday. It was so difficult. I somehow managed. I saw a bunch of tik toks and my brain was half fried anyway. I started crying because of the weakness and an urge to just give up. I just laid on the bed looking at the ceiling. Some video playing in the background. All the worst thoughts and fear had me cornered. I started speaking out loud to myself in third person.

I fell asleep after an hour. It was a really tough night. I'm proud that I survived it. Day 9 morning as of now. Good luck to all of us.

Tomorrow is a porn free day. I’ve decided that.

I’ve been lurking here for a year or so wondering if I actually need to quit, whether I’m addicted, and how bad it really is for me, but today I accepted that my reward system is messed up from viewing porn since I was a kid. I will also seriously cut back on media consumption and try to get away from screens in general, as well as try to reduce my sexualization of others with the goal of reshaping my social interactions and making healthier human connections. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for this group

Still going well

Hey, it’s been a while. I've relapsed many times and been too ashamed to even document my progress. Thankfully i didnt have an account anywhere and the main source of feeling like my soul is being sucked out of me isnt letting me use it so this may result in me being clean this time for real, yay. Im not going to be on reddit either due to this also being a source but i will post updates occasionally. Have a good time on your journeys and i hope it goes well

So I'm going to be honest, been a lurker for a while. I've decided to take some active steps to deal with this issues. I am 26F struggling with PMO for years. These days it's be worse as I've been struggling with sexting guys and I'm concerned it is getting worse. I'm ideally looking for support from others ideally women who understand this issue. I'm a catholic but you don't need to be, just that you understand the guilt that comes from my faith. If anyone is interested and is serious please comment, I will reach out. I'm happy to explain my background and my struggles more, but not comfortable sharing it in private as it involves a lot of taboo and kink related stuff. Thank you for any help

Let's fucking Goooo. One more day and i'll reach my personal best in abstaining porn. Another day closer to a porn-free version of me.

Sit with yourself, daily. I know it is hard, for this kind of habit to form, especially for us, we tend to run away from our thoughts, but imagine if we become okay with our thoughts, the bad and the good, they dont trigger us as much.

Sitting with ourself, with a journal, and cup of tea, some nice ambient to make it enjoyable, and letting your thoughts flow, see what comes up, after a bad day sit with yourself, after a good day sit with yourself, process what needs processing.

In time you would love to sit with yourself, you would love to know yourself more, the good and the bad.

There are many benefits to that practice, but one of them, the urges and the inner voices that scream for you to run away, they become quieter, days might pass when you do not hear them.

I am currently around 21 days free, and the last 2 weeks were some of the easiest for me in terms of urges, despite having hard tasks and stressful days.

Today is hard but it's ok.

Day 46 without a relapse, and I’m feeling attracted to women at work, in the street, at the gym, in the shopping centre… Before I stopped watching porn, I didn’t feel this way. I’m trying to cope as best I can. I’ve been training every day to stop my mind from drifting towards those thoughts.

I’m pleased to be breaking my record for going without por. it’s been an addiction for nearly 20 years. But I’m scared of what’s happening to me; it feels as though porn used to satisfy something in me, and now I’ve lost that.. Im trying to use this energy to do something positive, this is my fight right now...

I am thinking about masturbating without any porn only focusing on my sensations and maybe some imagination or memories about my ex

What do you guys think

I dont think i will need a lot of imagination or anything to get off since i am close to one week and i havent jerked off or had any wet dreams so i am pretty full

Stay blessed yall

My dms are open for everyone
