Its going to be end of second week, Yes! tomorrow is when I will finish the second week of my abstinence from porn. My wife rewarded me with beautiful gifts. Some books on how to draw cartoons and books on drawing and painting. I also got a set of professional pencil and notepad for re-entering into my childhood habit of drawing and painting.
Last few days were quiet challenging. Saturday and Sunday we went out for a nature excursion on a scenic mountain side with beautiful views and waterfalls. It was very soothing, whenever my eyes tried to look at women like as i use to before, i suddenly rewired it with a big red x mark and a big sound, i also remembered the video on a painting of women and how much they are suffering in this world, in fact my wife was a good example of how much trouble one can have due to husband's porn addiction.
I did loose some concentration and mind astrayed on some thoughts (not related to porn) and was not as consious as i use to be when i started this abstinence. I still have some coordination problems and slow reaction to situations, but i can feel that it has improved a lot than before. In fact i am less forgetful nowadays, I tend to remember things while at supermarket, otherwise i use to keep down the stuff I have in my one hand when I get something new on the other. When i went to book shop today, I could easily see the titles and classification of books that tend to fuel the primitive brains activities of guilt, thrill, pain and passion and smiled at them. I also got english dictionary for stopping me from using the google or word based automatic spell check.
I am now more verbal to my wife, as she is also recovering from mistrust on me. I speak everything happened in that day, including any thought of women or porn i get and how i managed to stop them. I speak about everything to her now without hiding. I believe the trust will improve slowly, I can understand her situation. In fact i became more attracted to her now than I was before.
I tend to get anxious and suddenly became aware and calm myself down. I postpone not so important works to later so that i dont get anxious unwantedly. I am craving sweets a lot now but i am watchful of it. I did take some extra sweets in the weekend. Also after I started to avoid junk and fried foods, I started to dislike those kind of food itself, I could take few bites then couldn't eat further, I didn't get any guilt but didn't want it and prefer healthier home food.
Off I go for some challenging tasks tomorrow.. I am not going to take it as a thrill, but would like to face it calmly and very playfully.
Have a beautiful day..

That's a great report

Your wife sounds like an amazing, loving woman. You are both lucky to have such mates. smiley

Thanks for the report. I was wondering.

It's normal for perception to flicker for a while. Be gentle with yourself and patient. (I know I say that a lot, but it's sound advice. smiley )
