Ok here goes it,
I have tried lots of different strategies but this is the first time I have ever blogged about my recovery. I got my fingers crossed but reading what others have posted has really given me some encouragement.
I have been trying for quite some time to beat the P&M addiction. I think I first realized I was addicted a couple years ago but my addiction to it probably started in college. I am now in my mid-twenties.

So a few months ago i downloaded the withdrawal spreed sheet. It has about 20 questions you answer 0-5 and then it charts out dopamine levels in relation to the days one has abstained from P/M/O
Does anyone have a document that explains the results
thanks

I gave in.
No Porn, but masturbation to orgasm. Few notes:
(1) OMG, my body feels amazing completely blissful right now. I can see how this is totally addictive. It's like my brain is completely soaked in blissful relaxation.
(2) I was starting to get some pretty legit erections. Not necessarily spontanous, but fully erect, and almost vertical (kinda graphic, I know, but it's been awhile...it's been 45 degrees or closer to horizontal). Not to mention that I could stay aroused with minimal fantasy, and nothing close to hard core porn fantasy.

While I was replying to someone earlier it made me think what it is I am addicted to?
Porn or women? The webcam/cybersex side of things was where I got really 'hooked' and that was where the interaction was and different to porn. But then again porn got me there. So maybe they are interlinked.
The thing is women are just so nice and then they go and make themselves look even nicer.

Well I had a lot on my mind yesterday and went to relaxed with questions in my head. When I woke up I had the answers and some real zest to get on.
No bounce back, no urges today. Clean slate and I will be posting 100 days before long.

Well the weekend went by pretty easily - if MrsIM1969 is around then the urges/thoughts dont even enter my head. Today I did a big training morning and when I'm physically tired I dont get them either. (Mentally tired is a different thing though) So these three days have been ok.

Sat Day 24 - a great day we swam then I ran while MrsIM1969 cycled. The rest of day we caught up on stuff that needed doing and some tv that needed watching from the past few months.

Ok, so I have been learning about the addiction. I have learned about the brain and why addiction is so strong. So ultimately it is fact, pornography is bad for a person, and one can not use it like a drug.
As i mentioned before in other blog posts, i also have a chewing tobacco addiction. However i have been using a nicotine withdrawal patch system to manage quitting. So tonight marks 1 week with tobacco. Which i feel is a start.
However, my porn habit is still not under control. I have still been looking at porn at night.

I have a question, Ive been beatin myself up over this and I need your advice. Ok so last night I was at a hotel bymyself. I wanted to watch tv but cable went out, and then wanted to go on internet but that was out also. I kept telling myself not to go further but did. I started to masturbate and then I was off to the races. I went into the magazine isle at a grocery store and started to look at the workout magazines because I konw they would feature some sexy women so I could orgasm. On one of the pictures a girl was in her bra and panties and they were see through.
