35 days p***-free streak. In June this story will continue! Cheers
Thank you! 35 days is an immense achievement! I’m currently on 19 days, and I’m going for ever. After I failed last time after a long streak, I won’t go back. Those few weeks were hell, disguised as pleasure. Porn is so horrible. I won’t ever go back.
Now dreams are normal I also had one wet dream
I am at day 31 now
@Attempt_Two_Electric_Boogaloo, @weir
That sounds amazing! I am happy to read from your amazing progress! Keep on that!
I am on a 40 days p**n-free streak and I do not want to stop it!
I sadly relapsed and am now back on day 3, but I know exactly what caused it and how I can avoid it next time. All I need to do is not watch YouTube or take my phone to bed. If I don’t do that, there’s basically no urges.
I just had a wet dream, but I woke myself up before it was too late. I’m happy that I did that. It was right before my alarm too.
@Attempt_Two_Electric_Boogaloo Relapses and setbacks are part of the progress. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Sounds good, that you know the triggers. By the way, I only count watching porn as a relapse for myself. I realized, that porn is my worst enemy.
I always end up watching porn, sometimes a few days later, when I watch YouTube. Well, it’s not really watching, but more looking at pictures/GIFs/short videos. That’s probably even worse, because it hyprrstimulates even further by scrolling through many different pictures at once.
I must stay away from YouTube, then it will be much easier of a journey.
Take care,
And stay safe
You are on same streak as mine. Are you also getting withdrawal Symptoms?
@weir Actually I always had withdrawal symptoms in my earlier streaks, like huge mood swings, depressed feelings (but also being very enthusiastic from time to time, like a borderline thing haha), bad dreams, extreme horniness and so on… but this time it is quite chill. What about you?
I am experiencing extreme withdrawal Symptoms such as anxiety in morning. Lots of aggression and anger.
I know it will calm after sometime I am holding on
@weir keep going, man! It will get better! and don’t put too much pressure on it.
72 days porn-free right now
Good for you man
Recently my 65 days streak broke
From 97 back to zero today. Going for hard mode now.
after a few weeks of struggling, I am back with a 8 days streak in hard mode. Feeling easy right now.
On a 46 days PMO-free streak right now.
It is a roller coaster kind of journey full of ups and downs. Keep fighting guys!
Great, keep going!
Great to see bro, keep going!
Day 62 of my PMO free streak.
I had a big argument with my mom this week. She called me names and reproached me for everything that went wrong in her life. Out of nowhere and without any reason. I am wanting to finally cancel the contact completely. I almost cry at work everyday since then. But I feel I must save myself from her. I sent her a note, that her place is not my home anymore and, if, I will only visit her as a guest from now on.
With almost 9 weeks sober (of alcohol as well) I realize that much of the pain leading to my p*** and alcohol abuse came from my bad relationship to my parents with them holding me down all the time and making me responsible for their life and happiness. Maybe one year earlier I would have drowned myself in alcohol and p*** sessions after such a fight. Not this time!!!
It is hurting severely - but I try to be strong. I deserve to be happy!
Please tell me if you have made similar experiences.
Rough situation buddy. Yeah it’s probably best to distance yourself. I haven’t had quite the same situation but I have dealt with an alcoholic parent who bursted on me for the smallest things and made me feel bad for being myself. It lead to a lot of issues growing up, but at least he’s changed as I got older. Maybe some distance whichever way you can get can finally help mend the scars in you and her (I’m sure she has some.) The key is to understand that they’re human too. They’ve got problems too, and regrets. Hopefully one day they’ll regret having treated you as they have. Hope your situation gets better soon. God bless.
