Hell, I always ask this to myself. How should one reward oneself for getting rid of this addiction? There should be something to keep you going right?
Hi, the last 12 days have been really good. I felt good about myself and proud of making it till here. But it's a weekend and this is where I mostly relapse. I have work to do and urgent matters to look at but my mind is stuck there and I really feel like going back to porn. But I don't want to. Anybody who has been there, please tell me how can I overcome this and start focusing
Now that I'm maintaining a consistent streak, time to put my focus through something tangible and important
I always feel that each time I try to get rid of porn, it's like I'm trying to keep my hands off taking a drug. Consumption of porn does have symptoms similar to really lethal drugs but sometimes even the recovery journey feels like one. The urge to just do it once, difficulty sleeping, unable to focus on anything else, and you do everything you can just to keep your mind off it. Sometimes I even find it difficult to breathe or think or even just get up and get shit done. I can't even imagine the damage I've done to myself all these years, probably a decade. I hope this journey helps me in healing some of it.
