One week
Itās been one week and I am feeling really good. This is the first app that Iāve tried where the content restriction is actually working. My biggest trigger is at night before bed. Just laying down, my old habit begins tempting me. This week Iāve been able to toss my phone across the room and leave it there. To help distract and recenter my thoughts, I picked up a Book Iāve have for five years and am actually reading it and almost finished! Continued reminders of why I want to stop for good have been my rock as well.
22 days
Iām clear
Be a soldier NOT a gooner
Porn seems harmless until you try to stop. Then you realize it was an addiction. A porn-free life is possible! Donāt let your mind make you think otherwise. Keep fighting the good fight boys! š«” FUCK PORN!
How to avoid gooning.
Be so busy that you literally donāt have time to goon. When your laying there in bed so tired just go to sleep. The urge to goon while being tired asf is a very strong. Trust me if you just go to sleep it gives you that same mental clarity that you get after gooning
The dreams are crazy
Around 22 days since Iāve watched porn. Dreams are so much more vibrant which is interesting. Like there is a clear difference before and after. Most dreams are sexual dreams which is not appreciated but that being said there is a clear difference. I would assume itās to do with dopamine. Since itās being spent less on PMO
Massive? You know what else is massive?
Hey bro get click baited. The days in the beginning are long. Trust the process.
Quit cold turkey and never look back š«”
You will thank me later! You got this boys stand firm and strong! š£ļø
Urges!
Canāt seem to get past a few days. Iām 2 days in and hoping Iām done with porn. Iām ready to put it in the past. Iām struggling with triggers. Social media, scrolling TikTok, or just watching movies. A couple people mentioned push ups. Iām way out of shape but Iām gonna start doing it. Iām going for it.
Relapsed
This is tough man, I relapsed. I gave into the stress for a temporary bit of relief⦠The signs where there I was having a lot of stress and looking for an escape, I need to be aware of this next time and find an alternative solution Disappointed, but I will pick myself up quickly and start again.
Huge setback
So, Iām the guy that came on here a few days ago and found out my partner was pregnant. Well 3 days ago we found out she had miscarried. It really has been a tough few days, and as a result I fell straight back into the porn trap as a coping mechanism. I live in the U.K. so Iāve even gone to the lengths of downloading a VPN to avoid the new anti-porn laws. Iāve picked myself up from the miscarriage, but now is the time to re-focus and get away from porn for good.
Setback
Facebook time limit was not successful so decided to completely delete facebook from my phone only can access through laptop at home now hopefully that will help
Life.
Iāve been having problems, my whole life Iāve had this addiction since I was as young as 13 it led me down a dark path and since I had sex at a young age I always correlated sex to love. So to love someone is to have sex with said person.which leads into now my birthday was last week I turned 21 and Iāve been married for a little under a year, at first I kept it a secret but multiple times within my relationship it was discovered and she told me how disgusting it is to her, asking questions like why canāt I just have eyes for her, and saying I canāt love her whilst doing this. This is her 3rd time catching me and at first she wanted to help me heal found me this app and have been with me every step of the way but after last night i think my marriage is over she canāt take anymore of this. My lust over women is my downfall and sheās so heavy on the subject she will leave me. Iām lost. Tried explaining to her how I feel about all of it how itās just a release itās not a fantasy of cheating or wanting other women but that just doesnāt help. I love my wife and I want to be with her i just am lost on how to get better I tried many times and donāt know why I relapse. I think itās to late to get better
I canāt break two days
I feel Iām going well until I hit the night of day two itās my downfall every time Iām trying to be a best version of myself daily Iām sick letting Christ down I love him too much to stay in this limbo
fell back in addiction
fell. back into my lifelong porn addiction i was doing great snd went back to the vomit, this time iām struggling in a hole again and watching all kinds of filthy thing, im learning this is like a mind set and once it hooks you again you get stuck like a fish on a lure idk what to do trynna reset my mind and get back to my healthy habits
Temptation gone? 8 days in, is this a false
Day 8 here, Iām like less tempted than ever to relapse. Like my sex drive is lowered or something, not sure, is this normal?
Day 3
Third day in snd Iām starting to feel the urges. Nothing I canāt handle through the support of this app and just thinking through it. Wish everyone the best of luck no matter your progress. Youāve got this.
Day 31 + Escape Plan
Urges and traps are still present but pressing forward. Escape Plan: If temptation hits: step away, pray out loud, text someone, do something active, refocus on your āwhy.ā You donāt fight alone.
U CAN DO IT !
just believe in urself as u see i just relapsed 20 min agoš a but that doesn't mean we are giving up that means we get up and do better next time donāt go hard on urself dont fight urself but u have to fight that urge take a pause every day and let ur brain have a break and just go through ur mind and dont forget to exercise that brings u decipline and remember u are not alone we are all on this app talking together and motivating each other and thats what matters. Good luck soldiers š«”
Day 10 feeling great but urges
More energy, focus and clarity. Urges are so strong though where Iām convincing myself Iām missing out by not capitalising on being so horny after these long streaks. Benefits vs the massively increased sex drive is hard
