Thanks for your support brothers. Iām really glad to see the videos helped some of you. Unfortunately I didnāt have it in me to continue recording more.
No, brother @AbishekChopin2 was wrong sadly. I donāt believe anyone is that busy. The activity diary was a part of my routine, even when I was out with friends, I would make a quick update. No, I relapsed and hid away in shame and frustration.
@anon13059885 Thanks brother. I will read this again and absorb its lesson. This journey really doesnāt have to be a battle. There has been so much fear attached over the years, and itās easy to fall back into that fearful pattern again and again. The belief that we will fail as we have in the past is enough to generate the urges that lead us to create the future weāve envisioned. But the same mind that is full of fear can also be filled with love and joy and embrace the freedom we experience every day, to truly believe that we are done and that pornography and masturbation no longer hold any power over us.
@auroraborealisss Yes bro, Iāve read the EasyPeasy book and I urge you to do the same.
When you absorb the teachings without fear, you will truly notice a transformation in your life. For myself, what has held me back is a huge wall of fear I created for myself.
This whole identity that I have tried to quit for many years and nothing has worked permanently, itās a victim mindset that allows me to shed responsibility for taking charge of my life, and gives me permission to relapse again and experience that false pleasure. Itās time for a new identity that serves me instead of imprisoning me.
Truly, there is no reason to relapse after reading that book besides the reasons we give ourselves. It has the tools we need to succeed.
@Busyman Welcome back Deva, long time no see brother! Keep going on your journey to freedom - youāre already there!
Welcome back @Special_Bird! Your diary entry really touched me, those thoughts are very familiar to how Iāve felt about myself so many times. Those thoughts are absolute lies bro. Youāre a highly intelligent, creative, compassionate and lovable human being. Donāt allow that negativity to fester, embrace your good qualities and allow everything else to fall away.
Thank GOD for the journey!
