overcoming addiction

General remarks

An addiction can be a great starting point from which to observe the power of bonding-based lovemaking. However, you (the addict) will need to make an important decision first.

Day 57. The best thing i've done for myself in the last seven years.

Hello people!

Well, i've been reading blog entries and posts from multiple users for weeks now. At first i didn't really want to share my story, I thought it was unnecessary since there are already a lot. But maybe my story can help others, who are new into this, or who can relate to it. Or it can help myself. So here it goes.

Day 21 - a bit low

Community topics: 

I wasn't feeling myself yesterday (excuse the pun!) and was a bit down.
I think it was that I have got a virus and it's making me a bit flat energy wise. Maybe a bit of a low after the weekend excesses?
(It has happened over the last few years, when I have stopped training for a while to let my body recover a bit enjoyed life a bit more - a few late nights and a less healthy food and then I get ill. It has a tendency to linger sometimes and has led to weight gain and a loss in fitness that has set me back. I vowed not to stop this time but I find it hard just to do a bit of exercise)

Day 18/19/20

Community topics: 

Friday night went well and was what we in the UK would call, 'a really good laugh'. Everybody got on well and things were said that backed up what I had done and made me feel very good about it.
In the past a weekend night out could have resulted in me being keen to go on-line on Monday. It probably comes from the experience of the night and seeing plenty of women around dressed 'provocatively' and drinking makes people act very differently to how they would normally. Maybe the alcohol lingering in my system too as well as the old scripts?

Day 17 - if you think yesterday was good.....

Community topics: 

... it gets better!
Thanks to everyone for the comments on the blog yesterday.
I really wouldn't be at this point without this site and the people on it.
Well I had another good day yesterday - lots of work done. No exercise again though - rain and excuses. (no need to encourage me on the fitness front though people I can do that myself)
More cool things happened though....

Day 16

Community topics: 

Well yesterday started off feeling pretty low and fed up but things really picked up later.
My writing work went well, and the business had some successes too. Then some more good news.

Day15

Community topics: 

A good day yesterday - much work done!
Another mountain bike ride (and a lot less acid reflux!) that was lovely out in the winter sun.
More work then off to help with the charity that I volunteer with.
Didn't make it to the pool but maybe the riding is enough for this week?

Feeling a bit low last night and the start of today though. (I write on here first thing in the morning, which is why there is a bit about yesterday and today in each blog)

Day 14

Community topics: 

Yesterday went well.

I did exercise, hoorah! Just an hour on the mountain bike but it was nice to be moving again Sometimes getting back into it after a lay off can be hard and I have procrastinated before (though I feel the addiction didn't help) I am sure that writing about it in the past tense helps to put it behind me.

Days 11-12-13

Community topics: 

I had a great weekend. It sounds ridiculous to say this when I have been in a great relationship for the best part of 12 years, but things have been going really well between my wife and I. I have tried a few different ways of writing that, but can't find the words, it still sounds funny to me.

A tune up needed

I don’t generally blog about daily progress and failings. For what it is worth, I’ve gotten to 130 some odd days without PMO. That all fell apart, I think due to the need for physical pain relief at one point. I've got a theory that this is an evolved, legitimate use of orgasm. Anyway, once that abstinence barrier was gone, I got a little more experimental physically which might have led to some learning, but it’s hard to say for certain with my sneaky brain.
