Stronger every day

20 days and still going strong! Honestly, it’s been pretty manageable so far, though I’ll admit my recent surgery (12 days ago) probably deserves some credit. Recovery has kept my mind off.. well, you know, porn and masturbation. Plus, the memory of my last relapse still stings. When I shared it here, someone went all-out harsh on me, calling me “pathetic” and “stupid.” Not exactly helpful, but oddly enough, their words stuck with me. I don’t want to feel like that again. So, cheers to motivation coming from unexpected places, I guess? That said, this morning was tough. The shower—the place where I had my relapse before—decided to test my willpower again. Out of nowhere, the urge to relieve some tension hit hard. I’m proud to say I held firm, but it’s been bugging me all day. What’s weird though, is how my mindset seems to be shifting. For the first time in a while, my mind didn’t wander to porn but to past relationships. I found myself thinking about how nice physical touch and intimacy felt. It wasn’t just about sex but the connection, the warmth. And honestly? That’s progress to me. It’s like my brain is slowly rewiring itself to appreciate real moments over pixels. The good news: zero urge to watch porn. The bad news: the urge to, uh, handle things myself is definitely alive and kicking. But I’m holding on. We’re doing this for a reason, right? For our future, for our well-being, for us. Thanks for letting me share my story from time to time. Wishing all of you strength and a lot of success! Let’s keep going!💪🏼
