It’s been getting tougher

I’ve been clean off porn and masturbating for 2 weeks today. The longest I’ve ever gone whilst making the conscious decision to do so. I don’t want to say by any means has it been easy but the first stretch provided me witch such a good feeling of accomplishment it wasn’t a thing to keep it going. That feeling hasn’t faded away but the urges to fight have been getting stronger. I understand there is a refractory period that comes along with this addiction but it definitely isn’t any easier now than when I started. But that’s where the rewiring begins. If it was easy it wouldn’t be a thing to just up and quit. We’d all do it instantly and become better men/women because of it. But it is the work that we put in that makes things change in our lives worth while. The effort we exert to stop is what determines the quality of life we have when we finally kick this thing. I’m working on replacing my negative urges into productive habits ie lengthy workouts, nightly journaling and prayer etc etc. But there comes a point In all of our lives when we realize how badly we ACTUALLY want the change. Hell is when the person you are meets the person you could’ve been. And we are becoming the people we are all intended to be. I will continue this journey along side all of you and we together will beat this habit. Once and for all. Thank you if you’ve read this far. This community has helped me more than any of you could possibly know. May God Bless you all.
