(23) Simon's journey to quit porn and masturbation forever

August 26+27:

-On Thursday i woke up on 9 AM and on friday i woke up on 8:15 AM
-did some work for univerdity and for my sidejob
-didnt workout on friday
-had urges after a long time having none

There was a short moment in the last two days when i was suddenly craving for some erotic content. And that craving did not go away by filling my head with positive thoughts on why i want to quit. I was starting to search for content, but didnt end up clicking on the links to erotic websites. So even though it took me a while to get rid of the horny thoughts, in the end i was able to walk away from them without relapsing.

Update on the last week:

I worked out once and i went on a 3 day lasting music festival. I feel like there a more unwanted horny thoughts coming up in my mind again, even though i dont really have urges. I should focus more on meditation again, so that these things wont become a problem.

Woke up at 8:50 AM
Did some work in the household
Felt some urges and had some unwanted thoughts

I really think i should meditate more again so that i can control my thoughts better. I dont want to fall back into my old and bad habits.

September 8:

I overslept again and i was pretty lazy. Not much else to say.

September 9:

I was somehow even lazier than the day before…

I havent updated this topic in a while. The last week has been very unproductive and i even had some urges. I am still able to stay away from PMO and i hit 60 days of being a non-PMOer yesterday.

Add me to this challenge please

What kind of challenge do you mean? This is just a jourmal where i give updates on my fight against PMO.

Oh Okey…sorry for making me understand!

Update on the last 2 weeks. I was mostly trying to get rid of my low motivation, but it just never worked out at all. I keep falling back into bad habits such as watching videos or playing games. I dont have urges at all anymore and it feels extremely easy to stay away from porn. This is my attempt to make daily updates here again. Tonight i will recap this day.

Finally started working for university after dinner
No urges

I am very happy that i actually got myself to do things. I worked for about 2 1/2 hours for university. Yes, it is not that much. But it is a start.

Update: In the last days i talked to my therapist about the things i can do to get out of the bad situation that i am in right now. I will now take huge steps and try out some things to get out of my depression. I havent updated here in a while, because there are many things happening in my life right now which i cannot comfortably talk about on this platform. All i can say is: I am optimistic that things will eventually get better for me. And i will keep you guys updated on that progress to the best of my ability.
