Day 3

why am i quitting? there are too many reasons. ever since admitting i have an addiction to pornography and masturbation, i've tried to think about what's keeping me going in my recovery. ultimately it's simple: i'm quitting for my future husband, for myself, and for Christ. these three are not enough of a motivation as standalone reasons for me, so i have to think of them together. my future husband doesn't deserve someone stuck under the spell of lust that porn creates, i don't deserve this cycle of self-abuse in the name of pleasure, and Christ doesn't deserve the hurt i cause Him when i sin. today is another day. today i've pledged to Christ. day three is halfway done, and im scared ill mess up, but i know i can do it if i pray and control myself and my urges.

Exactly I feel the same way my future wife don’t deserve this I made it to 14 days clean from porn and masterbation and I feel like a whole new person

mainly that i deserve better. that i'm abusing myself just for a rush. and the way both masturbation and pornography have changed the way i view men and sex in general.

What are your reasons for yourself as motivation?
