18 Days

It’s crazy to think that my previous streak was 12 days, as of now this is the longest I’ve ever gone without Porn. How do I feel? Honestly I feel the best I ever have in my life, and if I’m being honest it isn’t only because I stopped porn but rather because stopping porn allowed me to have more energy, and persue other passions in ways I haven’t in a long time. A door that closes leads to one that opens. What I have done to avoid porn over the last 18 days?: 1. Maybe the most important step is to just stop thinking about it so much, don’t sit down scratching everyday that passes on the wall and obsessing over the counter, let it go and come back every once in a while to journal 2. Avoid social media, social media was one of my personal triggers and using it less has helped me avoid a relapse 3. Find out the reason you are quitting, for me it’s simple I knew that doing this on a day to day basis wouldn’t get me anywhere in life so I envisioned were I would be years down the road if I continue a life of lust, and comfort. It wouldn’t be great 4. Give the wheel to God, he’s guiding the way and with his help you’ll reach success and become the person you ultimately need to be. 5. Find something to do, and avoid being in your bed by yourself, or alone doing nothing.. that’s usually when the urge to relapse pops back up. 6. Next time you feel like relapsing ask yourself if what you are about to do is really worth it, you know it won’t be. Remember that feeling you always have after relapsing, and envision where this habit will get you in life, and what it says about you. 7. Remember you are now paying to quit, if you don’t make a stride towards success it will only cost you in the long run. Brothers one step at a time you can do it, don’t give up hope, and keep grinding no matter what, just remember that at the end of the day It IS worth it to be done with this habit once and for all.
