Thank GOD for another day!
Another good day. I should be getting a new job soon, LORD willing. Progress is being made, slowly but surely by GODās Grace.
I finished reading Your Brain on Porn. The book ought to be required reading for anyone on this journey. So powerful to read stories of people reversing severe damage in their lives after a year free and clean. To know that the brain is changeable and to understand all the withdrawal symptoms. Like the flatline and why cravings are so bad in the initial stages and the cycle of shame-binge-shame-binge-shame etc. And to read the methods people used when the urge struck them, from the āWhy didnāt I think of that?!ā to the āMan, thatās bizarre but glad it worked for himā¦ā
There are so many different ways out of the addiction; people each have their strategies. But one thing is universal. Everyone has what it takes to overcome an addiction to pornography. We have to recognise that weāre always stronger than our urges. No matter how long it takes, 2 minutes or 10 hours, we can overcome it. And each time we overcome the urge, we make it easier for ourselves the next time.
Always thank GOD for everything.
Day 84.

@Adrian001 Your English is fine; I can understand you very well. Donāt worry about it.
This feeling is normal. Youāre experiencing withdrawal symptoms. This means that as you stop watching pornography and masturbation, your body will fight against you. The brain wants to keep things the same, even if they are bad for us. If we are alcoholics, it wants us to keep drinking. If we are fat, it wants us to keep eating. If we are constantly watching pornography, it wants us to keep doing this. It will cause feelings and experiences like fevers, headaches, urges, crazy thoughts, sleeplessness, feelings of hopelessness, despair, worthlessness, and many more negative things to get us to go back.
The way to overcome these negative feelings is to keep going. Our brains will adjust. As we go for a longer time without watching pornography or masturbating, these sensations will go away and we will feel good.
When the temptation to watch pornography arises, remember that you always have a choice. You are stronger than the temptation. You never have to give in. Always. No matter how long it takes, you can overcome it.

The whole forum is with youā¦ Broā¦ You are a good guy. Although your streak is 84 days but you have a good heart with no ego.
You helped me & others. Keep in touch always.
I have seen some people at 290 days streak but they were bad guys ā¦ their ego was making them arrogant and proud. i dont have respect for such guysā¦ even if they get 1000 days streakā¦ They are on wrong path.
Ego is the no. 1 enemy between us & God.
I have heardā¦Those who dissolve their ego ā¦ God starts to visit them.
Whole forum ā¦ along with me is cheering for youā¦ my friend. Go Aheadā¦ win more heartsā¦ Rise Higherā¦ with Gods Grace & Blessingsā¦ Fill your life with joy & love.

@Sahas Thank you, bro. Your words always uplift my spirit. Reading your diary helped and inspired me when my streak was low too.
Iām working on being a better person. I have an ego myself but Iām working on keeping it in check. I donāt have all the answers. I can still fail and reach day zero as anyone else can. None of us is perfect.
Everyone is on their own path in life. I donāt believe someone can reach that high a streak without having other good qualities. Itās easy at that level to become overconfident in the knowledge that helped one reach it, and feel that one can no longer fall back down. Passing 290 days after years of addiction is a great accomplishment. We all have lessons to learn and virtues to master on our journey. I pray that the God guides us all out of darkness into light and gives us the strength to overcome this addiction.

@Forerunner, I had ordered āpower over pornographyā after you emphatically recommended taking a look at it. I started reading the book today. It is a nicely written book indeed.
This oneās a really long list 
. Do you have hard copies of them all?

@MrXYZ I only have a hard copy of Power over Pornography; the rest are PDFs.
I guess it is quite a list!

Thank GOD for another day!
I want to make running a habit. 5 days a week. Iāve run two days this week so thatās progress, thank GOD. Letās do better next week.
Iām not sure where all the time went today! I need to get more things done. I want to remember @MrXYZās advice to just start a task for 5 minutes. Procrastination really steals so much time away. But thankfully, no procrastination now leads back to PMO.
Iām glad to see people are reading Power over Pornography!
Always thank GOD for everything.
Day 85.
