192 days in… Keep going
It’s worth it people. Keep going. I struggled with this for over 20 years. Now I’ve been clean from these habits for 192 days. Early on in the process there were times where I almost slipped. The key for has been the following: - porn and masturbation was an escape from strong emotions that I would feel. Like sadness, stress, frustration - once I learned how to sit with my emotions, process them and be okay with that, then a flip was switched. For me the urges are gone! - also, I learned how to take things One moment at a time. If you’re feeling an urge just focus on getting through that moment. Now I’m at the point where I don’t even have the urge to look at it any more. I have no emotion towards it. In social interactions I feel grounded and confident. In life I feel like nothing can stop me. If I got through this, then what can stop me? What can stop you?? Keep going my friends. This is a journey. The most worthwhile one you’ll be on.
Do you ever have temptations or urges? If so, how often do you get them?
