porn addiction recovery (log in)
to ones who haven't seen my previous post:
hello, this is a log in post to track your porn abstinence. this isn't an official event or anything, I'm just another addict trying to bring like-minded people together to help hold each other accountable. if you wish to start new, you could just follow the instructions given below! and do introduce yourself at the other post used for discussions - porn addiction recovery (discussion) - Discussion | 7 Cups
for more clarity you could check out my original post - porn addiction recovery - Discussion | 7 Cups
how does it work?
1. on your day one, you can reply to the post by simply mentioning 'day 1 - xx/xx/xx (the date)' and as the day's progress please continue responding to yourself to create a chain with your logs only. this doesn't have to be everyday, just whenever you have the time.
2. if you miss a day, as in, end up giving in to your urges simply say 'counter reset - xx/xx/xx' or something similar but short and sweet. and continue replying the next day to your own comments, do not start a new chain, please. (this is so there aren't too many reply pages and we don't lose count easily)
3. please do not reply to another person's comments. only reply to your own comments. (just so we don't disrubt another person's logs and make it messy)
thank you for joining us in this journey!!
05/19/25 Day 9
This is my first post to track abstinence from porn. I committed hard 9 days ago. I searched for support books, I found this forum, i deleted temptations, i changed lifestyle habits, and i find ways to serve others... and its working!
5/21/25 Day 11
Had more alone time today than normal. Felt some doubt, or some just a quick peek wont hurt kind of thoughts. Deep breaths, suppressed those fleeting thoughts. Remembered what my motivation is. And continued my day clean.
5/22/25 Day 12
Staying busy. It helps. Still have occasional urges. But ive made it hard to access anything, so clean i remain.

I dont think about porn anymore. I dont impulsively search for it to get myself off. I have a healthy headspace. I reduced my screen time. I read physical books. I have a healthy relationship. Im not promising everything to anyone. But i do know for years me promising myself i would stop never lasted long. I finally had the proper motivation, researched strategies to deal, and found somewhere to express my challenges. Its working for me. If you're serious, let me give you some suggestions. Its possible

74 days. I just realized that i had been searching for that pesky itch to scratch. I thought i had buried it after all this time. But its still there waiting for a weak moment. Time to reestablish my fortitude. I have healthy outlets. I have motivation worth living right for. I can do hard things.

100 freakin days! Man that feels good! Ive been a little off here, which is probably a good sign that life moves on and this becomes less necessary. But i still would like to help anyone out there needing advice. You can do it. Dont worry about small backslides. You are strong!
Congratulations bro it's a big achievement and my dream as well but I'm facing so many challenges, low self-esteem, will power is zero and mood swings
8/7/25
119 days. Once my motivation became clear, i realized i couldnt afford to mess up. I found books to help, i realized there were patterns i needed to change. Replace poor screen time habits and accept that i needed help. Then made those changes and even tho there were hard tempting days, i didnt break. You guys can do this. Keep fighting every day!
Hello Mr.Feathered, your journey is inspiring and its so nice to see someone breaking free from this terrible, self destroying addiction. pls do give suggestions as im trying to stop it for good but dont know the right path to do so.
How an earth do you deal with the urges which can be immense at times !! ??
Replace it with something positive. Remove all triggers. Read books about overcoming porn addiction. U can do it. But not overnight.
Reset i had a few bad days and it tore my resolve down. Im recommiting. Building up a strong defense. Its technically been several days clean since but i need an accountable restart. So day 1.

Day 2. Deleted all distracting apps.
Day 3. I appreciate northern lights for making this forum. Im not sure anyone wants to follow this but as an individual its nice to have a place to tally the days.

reset.
Yesterday was my reset day. Today would be starting day 2 later tonight. I've got some heavy things to deal with financially like possibly having to pay 14k for damages to the unit I'm in. Hoping that the landlord approves the replacements we agreed to.

Day 10 clean.
Feeling tempted. I don't want to give in, but it's like this glass breaking inside my head. Empty, but I can't get it out, or find all the pieces, I just feel them and until I dig them all out, I won't feel free. But digging them out takes a lot of it with me. Digging them out is what brought me here so I just sit in invisible shards of glass.

Day 20 clean.
July 17, 2025.
Been a pretty good week. Focusing more on other, healthier things, especially not seeking male attention. And found a therapist I feel safe with.
Hope you're all staying safe and well.
@jarfold416
Day 28 clean.
Not feeling great but not tempted either.
How are you doing out there?
Day 10
17/07/25
Hi, I'm been struggling with masturbation and porn use and recently logged into chat sites. I've researched a lot and understand what's lead me to this and I am really motivated to never do it again. The best I've done is 6 days before a relapse and I'm currently on day 2. I'm going to log my progress here and would love to have an accountability partner. Day 2 and feeling good today!
07/30/25
Day 0, I came here because I recognized this as a real problem. I need someone to help keep me accountable but I'm scared of asking the people close to me.
08/06/25 day 1
