33 days
Had the urges last night but I ain’t breaking this streak
Day 4
I had a 58 day streak and blew it, this is a string come back I feel!!!
One relapse shouldn’t negate how far you’ve come
After losing a 43 day streak, I felt pretty worthless for having destroyed something instantly that took me so long to build up. But instead of dwelling on my relapse and sitting on the mindset that “if I just do it a few more times then I’ll start over,” I decided to double down on my restrictions with my phone. I’m investing in myself with this mindset. For me, normally it’s harder to motivate myself to do something like that, especially after a short streak relapse. I usually binge until I can’t anymore and then I start a streak, but that is what truly sets you back to zero. I say all of this because i noticed how this long streak gave me the mental strength not to indulge again after a relapse. After doing some “research,” I’ve found that a single relapse has minimal, temporary effects on cognition, socialization, clarity and drive in comparison to a binge. A binge will desensitize you and “reinforces the PMO habit loop, which strengthens the neural pathways associated with the behavior” (Chat gpt.) Meaning compulsive behaviors are harder to manage. Your one time relapse (especially on a long streak) is genuinely a tiny setback. Just don’t fall back in so easily. (TL;DR) The number on the streak counter is helpful but it’s not reflective of your story and all the progress you’ve built!!! Do not be discouraged! You still have the momentum to keep going!! A relapse is just a bump in the road!!!
First Week
To me, this felt like the longest shortest week ever. Some days were a breeze and others were not. It’s not the porn i’m addicted to, it’s just jerking off. I’ve noticed that i’m much more clear minded. Prayers for longevity.
Day 3
I’ve been horny since I woke up. I hit a little workout and it still won’t go away
Need advice
Since quitting porn I’ve feel like masterbation has been harder to avoid. It’s not like my phone I can leave at home and it seems like the only way to compromise. I know it does harm and I don’t know what to do about it. Does anyone have any advice on how to quit it.
Day 1
First day back, been on a bender all week. 90 days until sober!
Is it normal to feel good and bad in waves?
I'm on day 23 and for the past like week I was good feeling confident and strong. Last night I had some of the hardest urges in a while and social media didn't help ultimately tho I stayed strong. But this morning I don't feel as confident or good. It's almost like now that I know I had urges last night I don't feel good about it now even though nothing happened
10!
It hasn't been that easy but, posting here and chatting with others has helped a lot. Longest streak of my life let's gooooooo!
Day one
Let’s get money, fight through your emotions and step. We gon step together through them 🤝🏾
Idk what to do
I relapsed more and more frequently and nothing helps it seems. Like it just happens like wind and I dont even feel regret anymore
20 days free
I don’t usually post my accomplishments But I just wanted this post to be motivation for anyone who’s trying to stop. When i relapsed previously i thought there was no way i could change but now I’m 20 days free thanks to God and this app, if anyone feels like there’s no way out just know there is.
Last night was a war
Lying in bed. Tired. Empty. Tempted. Felt cheated by life. Couldn’t run. Couldn’t fight. Just… stuck. That’s when it comes. The voice. The lie. “Just one time.” But here’s the truth: That spike? That hit? It’s cheap. It’s borrowed pleasure at tomorrow’s cost. Night Guy always wants the shortcut. He builds nothing. He takes. Morning Guy pays the bill. And he always wakes up with regret, cleaning up the mess. Don’t play with fire. Don’t let Night Guy win. He’s weak. He’s impulsive. You? You’re building something. Shut it down early. Before it talks. Before it grows teeth. You don’t owe yourself relief. You owe yourself a standard. Wild new Standard. There’s a lion inside of you. Don’t feed it scraps. 🔥
Finally quitting. Again…
This isn’t my first time trying to quit for good. I feel like porn has been hindering my relationship with God and with my fiancé. I’m finally taking the leap to conquer myself and my urges. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and I am more than willing to help others in their journey as well! God bless!
Advice pls
Hey guys I keep relapsing it’s awful. I go 3-4 days max and can’t seem to control myself. Any advice?
10 days gone
Here’s what I learned: I NEED to stay vigilant. A micro spark starts a bonfire. A micro look leads to a relapse. As soon as what I went on my laptop to do is over, I HAVE to stop using it. I have to stay vigilant. I have to stay aware. Lord, please continue to convict my heart. I don’t want to grow familiar with this.
2 days
Guys almost 2 days in another 6 hours let’s go boys 💪
Day 5 Completed
I’m proud of myself for this. 5 days of 0 porn or masturbation. I’ve meditated 3 times, had 3 cold showers and am hitting the gym. Just after my meditation that ended 5 minutes ago, I noticed myself craving sugar a lot less than I usually would if I was regularly engaging in PMO. It made me even more excited for the future. Well done to all of you for taking another step forward today. If you relapsed, take a learning point from it. I know it may not feel like it, but you can use this relapse to improve going forwards.
43 Days
Lfg boys. Keep it up
