I’m 100 and I just started living!
100 days in FREEDOM from porn! Praise the Lord! It doesn’t seem real…not that I’m at this milestone, but that I had a terrible, awful, horrible life in self-loathing and shame where I didn’t have the faintest idea how to live. I didn’t know how to interact with people, to trust anyone, experience joy or peace or receive anything good. But for the last 60 days or so, since I’ve been living in FREEDOM from porn, God has been restoring to me the life I never lived, because I got into porn as a child. I never knew friendships without porn as part of the mix. Either as part of what we talked about and shared or as a dark undertone I was afraid would be revealed to destroy everything good. FREEDOM from porn has brought incredible improvement to every area of my life: PHYSICAL-I’m working out regularly in a gym now (I had my done that in over 20 years!), and that has lowered my pain levels and my ortho doc told me yesterday I will not need surgery on my c-spine! EMOTIONAL: I have PTSD and secondary major depression and anxiety from bad sh*t in the submarine Navy. I was seriously su*c*dal when I downloaded the QUITTR app in Feb. I haven’t even had intrusive thoughts of hurting myself since March! I haven’t had a flashback or panic attack since I started getting the real improvements after FREEDOM day 45 or so! MENTAL: Just before I downloaded QUITTR, I had days my brain fog was so bad, i literally could not fill out my own name and address on a simple form using my laptop. After 50 days of FREEDOM, in less than 2 days, I did 5 tax returns (9 if you count state separately) for 6 people—some of it pretty complicated stuff with investments-plus I did a few other things, like helping someone apply for SNAP (they got approved), and blah blah blah. HEALTH, SPIRITUAL, FINANCIAL, PEACE, HELPING OTHERS, TAKING CARE OF MYSELF, TAKING CARE OF MY FAMILY (and pets and house and vehicles)….whatever else you can think of to list—IT’S ALL BETTER! Porn holds you back from life in every area..it destroys some areas of life…it can destroy life. FREEDOM from porn brings life and life abundantly, and i love this life so much! I’m so glad I have the QUITTR app, the community in Group Chat, the friends I’ve developed (the help I’ve received with needs even today!). I may be at 100 today, but I’m just starting to live! There’s so much more life ahead, and it is good!
Incredible. Very inspiring! Awesome job. Can’t wait until I get to this stage.
