Don’t worry at all. The fight is in the mind. As long as you don’t accept defeat, you will have the high ground. You will surely defeat it one day.
Thanks @immortal227 for that encouragement. It’s good to know there are people going through the same fight as i am
Days 1 to 3 (10/3/22)
These days were fine. Stuck to my normal routine but the chaser effect still lingers on. But I’ve managed to keep it under control. Hopefully I can continue this for the next few days
Days 4 to 19 (26/3/21)
Wow, it’s been a long time since I made an entry. That’s because I visited my native place after a very long time.
The great thing that happened to me there was i didn’t get time to look at the phone. A change of scenery did me a world of good
Now since I’m back home, incorporated some changes in my life like taking a cold shower before going to sleep has helped me really well.
Hope to continue this trend.
I’m feeling sad today. Had to reset my streak.
I found out one of my triggers, which is when I’m stressed, I tend to watch porn as one of my coping mechanisms.
Need to learn from this and will start a new streak.
Day 1 (14/4/22)
The whole day went pretty well. Just was focused on my future, which led me to prepare for an exam.
For the next 6 months, i need to be focused only on this, this might maybe help me to reduce the urges.
Had a cold shower just before going to bed and also will do the wim hof breathing technique to get some good sleep.
Will take it one day at a time.
I just relapsed.
I feel like an absolute idiot. Masturbating has become my coping mechanism whenever u feel stressed. I also know that it is wrong but i still end up doing it. I don’t know why.
Maybe I’m mentally not strong or tough enough, but that has to change.
I can’t give up on this journey. I know there will be a lot of setbacks, but I’ll overcome them.
