Been a while since I posted here…Update:

Hey folks, Just a small update. As you can see, I’m fast approaching a week which is close to my best ever of 9 days. As someone who has struggled with this since early adolescence, it makes me so proud of the movement we have here and the motivation we give to one another. If I could make any podcast recommendation that I know implement into my daily habit replacing the old habit, it’s called “Porn Free Radio” by Matt Dobschuetz - he started it in 2014 so as time progresses he deals with more modern triggers such as social media. My progress has been improving week on week. I now don’t look at porn or matsurbate for 5+ days at a time. I usually wait now until sex with my gf because not only does it feel so much better but on a spiritual level, I really feel more connected with her which helps because she will be my wife in the future. For those of you waiting for marriage to have sex, the wait will be worth it not only for you but your eventual partner because it will save you from PIED (Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction) and or any other performance issues related to porn addiction. Overall, extremely positive and motivated about the future. I’m beginning to have clarity and balance in all aspects of my life but not having my brain wanting its usual dose of dopamine. One final recommendation: Read the book “How to Quit Porn Easily” by the Hacksauthor. It gives the scientific explanation of why our brain desires porn and how over time it desires more and more explicit stuff. Though we have all lived with this addiction, we have lived with it for long enough and now it’s time to take back our lives. Peace and love to you all, Diarmuid
