Focus on Something greater. That worthless feeling that weighs on you once you finish PMO, versus the victorious feeling of beating that urge. It’s a decision. Yes or no. It’s a choice. Choose NO.
I literally just figured out a trigger of mine. I see a bad chick on instagram and I go to the profile page to see if she has an instagram…. Usually I would come to Reddit to find her to see if he is what we call a “Reddit chick” if she is nude or even better gettin her cheeks clapped. I saw a baddie and immediately wanted to search but I did not. Stay focused. Day 16.
Day 12. No real struggle thus far. I may think about porn slightly but no real triggers. I used to open Reddit and see nothing but porn. Now this is the only subreddit I follow, so I see posts and it keeps things in perspective. Keeps me focused.
I see there is a lot of younger guys even teens fighting this addiction. Hats off to everyone. I would have never thought this was an addiction at a young age. But it’s great to see younger people recognizing the problem early.
Let’s continue to support.
I must say. I have never had a community to help me with this. For someone that has been at this for 30+ years, it is empowering to know others are trying to heal. 8th day. No issues thus far. I can usually do a couple weeks without a real slip up. I have been desensitized though. One day at a time. Finding dopamine from the gym right now. May is going to be a breeze. I am already looking towards June. But still one day at a time. Be strong!!!!
