[john98] Long walk to freedom

Thanks for the tip. I want to definitely incorporate meditation, but there is a benefit with the push up in that it tires you out

Was a good day. Got a hair cut. Today I felt urges and did a set of push ups, worked well for me.

I had a relapse. Let the stress and emotions get the best of me. :disappointed: It never feels better afterwards, yet I fell for it.

Phone in bedroom is never a good idea!! Will not beat myself up over this one, simply realize that from now on, I just need to take day by day.

I have not been active for a while so thought I would check in. The journey is going well. Been attempting to deal with life rather than use porn to escape it. The Moto is still one day at a time.

While it is necessary to have objectives, like 30 days, 90 days, you can only focus on the present moment/day and not to get carried away or feel discouraged that your goal is far away.

If I were to ask you to put off watching porn for 90 days, you may doubt yourself. But if I were to say, actually, just put off watching porn for today, could you do it?

I reckon you could. Now ask yourself the same question tomorrow.

Had a few Covid symptoms which has confined me to my room. Still waiting for my test results to get back. The boredom is giving rise to more urges but am keeping myself busy.

No Covid, so was probably just a cold!

Am happy I didn’t give in to urges though, and am having a busy day getting things of my to do list.

Yesterday I had a relapse. Should have seen it coming, but I put down my guard after my recent achievement of 30 days and didn’t stick to my principles.

Starting over is never nice, but am starting over from a better foundation than I had in the past

Was able to go a few days before I tripped up. From now on am starting a strict routine.

No technology after 10 pm.
Early mornings with short workout and shower.
Avoid triggers, ie being alone scrolling endlessly on social media or YouTube

This is something that I am also considering to take seriously because in last month or so, I’ve also been going good for few days and then I relapse.
One of the main reasons being, not able to guard my eyes from triggers and going to sleep late at night and rising up late in the morning which also is going to cause health issues in the long run.

I am with you in this journey. Lets do it.

I have not been active on here for like a month, and it has really been to my own detriment. June was a good month for me, but the past week I have really struggled with my relapses and so am realizing that I need this forum more than I could have imagined. I will now get back to posting and facing this bad habit in a transparent and accountable way.

Which starts with setting out the problem of my last relapse, being my phone in bed after 12 pm. I really just need to pick up a book or something!!

Anyways, here is to a fresh start, and not beating myself up over my past.
