Hello everyone,
at first some stats:
- male
- 33 years old
- single
- addiced since I was 13
- battling with addiction since September 2016
- max streak - 17 days
Summary:
For past almost 9 years I fight with this addiction. My record was something about 17 days and thats it. Let it be a wake up call for all others. I feel shame.
I learnt a bit what could be improved in my life. However, I feel that still PMO has a big impact on my performance. I believe that getting rid of bad habits and addictions is crucial for better self-being. Without battling my cons first I feel overwhelming stagnancy.
What is my plan then?
Throughout my recovery I will try to use tools which just worked for me in the past to stay on track.
- keep my phone away from bed - browsing visuals in bed was my habit, yes, was, I dont wanna come back to it!
- guided meditation - I keep coming back to beginner course, which let me clear my mind a bit
- morning stretching - injuries while working out come from being nonstretched in most cases that’s why I will try to prevent it
- cold showers - work better than coffee and current temperatures will alllow to gently come back to this activity
- doing cardio helped me with suppressing dirty thoughts
- work on my programming skills
- intermittent fasting and healthier diet
I think thats all for now. Within time I will try to update my routine.
