Death to the Counter
I’m at the longest streak I’ve had in a while but I caved. I saw some sexual suggestive content on social media that lead me into looking into more and more sexual content. My problem is once I reset the counter I find that it lowers my threshold for saying no. It’s easier to reset the timer when it’s at a day or two and continue to give into porn. But my streak being 16 and 17 tmr makes it easier for me to say no to porn. My question to y’all is, is it okay to not reset it if it helps me say no? Or is that cheating myself? Does anyone else resonate with this?
Yep. Social media is a trap. And I know EXACTLY how you feel with the streak. Last time I ran into some stuff on social media I scrolled and searched for awhile to where I felt I should reset my counter, even though it wasn’t explicit porn. But as soon as I reset it, it’s like I felt a license to go and view again and immediately fell back. But, now that I know that, I can reset it and be ready for that thought when it appears. At the end of the day, it’s your journey. The counter is a tool, it should help you. It’s not your master, you’re the one in the arena, make sure you’re using it the way that works best for you.
