Day 89 relapse - ugh

Community topics: 

Well, I just had a double relapse after 89 days totally porn free. In this time, some of the best things have happened to me. I've been more focused and productive than ever. I landed an incredible job that plugs me into the red hot center of my favorite industry. I love it. I've been getting plenty of female attention, been performing better in the sack and getting up early in the mornings to workout. This is the life I've always wanted. I have no doubt in my mind that beating this addiction is the single most important thing in my life. It is the key to everything else.

I need to snap out of it

Tired of my pathetic excuses yet? I've been at home this christmas, and managed about 14 days porn free before relapsing with my portable. I think the main trigger point was feeling sorry for myself. The christmas has gone well (by the standards of my family) But my brother caught my head in a choke hold just for fun, and now I have had pain in my neck for about a week. He is a brute, and hopefully it's not a slipped disc.

First time visitor - Time for a change in my life...

First of all, kinda strange putting these things out there for everyone to see, but I know it will be helpful for my healing process and maybe others. This is my first time posting anything about my problems.
I've been looking at porn since college which is around the time the internet took off and was available at speeds faster than dial-up. Over ten years later I have a great wife and kids. But I have struggled with porn all the years, off and on.
The posts in this forum are so powerful because I have so much empathy with many of them.

Long time for The Long Run

Hi folks,
I'm back. Need to be.
Noticing I left of "clean and sober" and that many of you that knew me then might think that I am "cured." Wrong. I have relapsed.
It probably started about 6 months after meeting a my new "godess" and has continued on and off since then. Nothing like the daily torture of porn addiction it was (hours and hours of searching for that "right" scene to get me off.) But it happens about once per week or two I guess.

There is no magic key to unlocking this PMO problem.

Well except for the obvious...Stop using. I think everybody is trying to figure out how to do that though and its not easy. I think some of us (including myself) sometimes come to this site thinking theres going to be some secret we find that will magically make us stop watching, but there isnt. There is more than enough info on these sites but insight without action is totally useless. If I were to sit down with Michael Jordan and have him tell me every one of his secrets and techniques about basketball, it wouldnt do anything for me if I were never to go practice playing.

Day 28. What constitutes a relapse?

Community topics: 

So guys, what constitutes a relapse? This morning I woke up with the strongest morning wood yet and before I could even realize what I was doing, I was masturbating prone. Not for long - no more than a minute, and granted I was half-asleep - but I did it nonetheless. Does this count? Does this mean I have to reset the PMO clock?

Some very bad side effects I noticed about PMO

I will make this post short since my memory isn't as good as before after years of PMO.

Here are some of the very negative side effect I've experienced whenever I PMO.

1. My short term memory is very bad now, sometimes I can't even remember what I did minutes ago.

2. I became very bad with numbers (and I was very good at math before PMO), even my counting ability is impaired.

4. My short term memory is very bad now, sometimes I can't even remember what I did minutes ago.

Back to square 1. again.

Well my thoughts and desires did me in again after a week of no PMO at all. Its so funny because what did me in the first time when i relapsed a few months back were flashbacks of "real" encounters, these past two times have been both P flashbacks. I guess it makes sense since the P is so fresh in my mind. Im not really discouraged though, Tomorrow is a new start. Its like if I were building a jenga tower of blocks and I got a quarter ways up and they all fell, Im peeved but Im not just gonna sit there staring at the blocks on the floor, Im gonna start rebuilding.

-.-
