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!!
Day 1 wed march 18 5:28 pm pst
Day 1 wed march 18 5:28 pm pst
Thanks to @helenaicy again for reminding me.
It's officially the end of Ramadan. The month I sought to change myself in. My lack of commitment showed equal fervor. I don't know if my prayers have gone unanswered but... I'm hopeful.
Today is day 1, 19th of March, 2026. And right now? I am doing his out of pure, unadulterated spite.
For Those who come after.

Fûûçk!!!!
LETS FÛÇḰING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
@amiableNest1078
Weekend was ***.
🎶 Here we go again on my own 🎶
This is day one, April 5th, 2026.
I am optimistic about this run, I will reach it. My goal is seven days.
For those who come after.
@braveBunny9485
Keep goin', man. How was it untill now?
Thanks, buddy! It's actually pretty on and off as of late. On one hand, it kinda makes me happy that I sleep without doing it. On the other, I literally can't stop thinking about it.
I'll try to post more often. It's just... This semester bas been *** and there's another month of it hitting me lime a train.
What's up with ya? How are you doing so far?
@braveBunny9485
I can relate to that, man, I'm on this battle way too long for my sake. But some days are better than the others. Those couple months are really *** for me too; a lot going on at my head.
Don't know if you are Christian, but I tell about something that help me a lot.
We call that "occasion of sin", which everything that make out mind more close to think or make something we don't want, we avoid. That be using social media that have "semiAdult" content (the same as soft P0rn), be at parties, beaches, or listen to songs that can make out mind think about, we simply avoid at maximum. That helps a lot.
Another thing is, on the same spectrum, is our eyes. I know that when we talk with a woman (or a man in case of some), our eyes search for you know what, more sexual parts, is automatic, and for me, I turn my head when possible or just close my eyes.
About your thinking... The thing that I do is just "let it flow". Sometimes our head "summon" some kind of OCD that make us can't stop thinking about it, and we struggle with ourselves to stop thinking, which is worse. Than I just let the thought flow with the others on my head. Is just like a dog barking from afar, It can only bite if you get close enough.
The only way to fight against lust is run.
Understand this thing help me a lot, I read "Wired for Intimacy" and "Your Brain on Porn" to do that. Another thing that help me a lot, is watch what this thing does, not only with us, but with a lot of people. This thing don't harm just us, hurts a lot more people that we think. For that I watched the documentary Contraland for starts, then I watch or just follow everything from Exodus Cry. Watch those only if your head is Okay, those documentaries are pretty heavy.
I'm here to help, man. We can talk to me whenever you want.
@amiableNest1078
Ps: I really need to watch my writing. Lol
**I'm here to help, man. You can talk to me whenever you want**
@northernlights101
It has been a while, new chain ⛓️
Have made it to six days, almost a week, my thoughts about it are becoming less... But on the other hand, my emotions are very turbulent; I cry a lot and feel sad. I think that taking a break has made me realize the emptiness inside me, and because I don't yet know how to fill this void with something better, I'm tossed between my sadness and my random thoughts. What makes it even harder is that all the things that bother me come at once. I hope I can complete two weeks; that would be a great achievement.
I also noticed that since I took the step of talking about it and admitting that I am addicted and that I can recover if I keep trying, my fear has become less than before. I am still trying to treat myself kinder and accept myself with my good and bad qualities..
Please don't stop trying future self.
@Helenaicy
you wanna connect about it?

I made it to 8 days this time and screwed today, even though I'm feeling like *** rn, but I think I did okay this week, I was able to hold back a few times, so I'm trying not to be hard on myself now and try again...
I think my next challenge is to complete two weeks, hope I lock in. Anyway atm... all I can do is trying until I sort things out.
Day 22, this is my first post on here but I’m 22 days sober from hentai. Hid and deleted stuff from my last relapse from my spouse on March 15th and myself was too scared and not strong enough to confront and thought I could do it alone, but i can’t and just need a little more help and a push, hoping this can be that until I can figure out therapy for me. Being absent minded about it isn’t going to help, so I want to try something different.
