I Had a Dream

Day 9

In a moment of weakness I was scrolling through pornography on telegram. I watched it for a few minutes, felt dirty, and managed to stop. My battle has been going on for years but in the last 10 days I have realized that I can have control over my emotional triggers. We can choose a different path without falling into the usual patterns. My strategy is this: walking, grounding, emotional confrontation with apps like wysia and mindshift. When I don't confront the emotions in my life, they are the ones that come knocking on my door in the form of pornography. This dream is a testament to my strength and growth on this journey and has shown that it is all about the ability to make different choices for healthier emotional responses. Brothers, we can do it.

What is PMO?

Yesss, better to get rid of them honestly! I noticed even Instagram would cause me to relapse so hard, seeing women i have no connection to at all! Telegram, there cant be anything good on there brother. You seem very wise with grounding yourself after emotions rise up. I noticed it today a lot, that I use PMO to try and bandaid over my life, my loneliness and fears.
