Porn Addiction and recovery Log.
Hi, I'm Steven, I didn't know where to start, I just wanted to write something like a journal or log to keep track of my porn addiction. I'm thinking logging everyday progress, what triggers me to watch porn, what I'm doing to avoid it and what I'm feeling on that particular day. Why I'm starting today? I had a relapse today, after 10 or 11 days.

It's good you are trying.
A relapse doesn't take away the process you've already made.
Be proud of that and start again!
One day at a time ππ
@Amanda84
The progress!
Thank you, I didn't think it would be this hard to let go, that's true for any addiction I guess. But, I'll try this time a bit harder, one day at a time.
@pioneeringIdea7571
I have no doubt you are trying your best. I get the biggest problems are when you find yourself alone, I would suggest watching a film, or doing an intense workout, anything at all that distracts you!
@pioneeringIdea7571 A busy day, seems to work to keep me away, maybe it's because I'm surrounded by people, but when I'm alone in my room, being busy doesn't do the trick. I need something else, I'm thinking using a software on my PC, the kind that you can't turn off easily or uninstall it, what if there was a software, that requires some kind of password or some other method.
@pioneeringIdea7571 another busy day, so no relapse. I want to know how things change of I am alone.Β
@pioneeringIdea7571 yeah, things get a bit problematic when I am alone, it took everything I have to suppress those temptations.Β
@pioneeringIdea7571 today was a testing day but it went well.
@pioneeringIdea7571
Glad to hear that!

@Amanda84 thank you for your words. Update about past few days, no relapse, was busy as my brother's family welcomed a new member(a baby) in to their life. So far, so good.
@pioneeringIdea7571
I'm proud π₯° congrats on new edition ππ
@pioneeringIdea7571 a few days passed without any incident, yes it still gets tough when I'm alone, but I think I can do it.
@pioneeringIdea7571
I do too π₯°
@pioneeringIdea7571 Posting here today to remind myself. Going great.
@pioneeringIdea7571 just one day to go for a month without porn or is it two days, I don't know but it's a win for me.
@pioneeringIdea7571
Well done ππ
@Amanda84 okay, it took a bit more longer than I thought to jump in here again, I think maybe two or three months, had some good and bad days. Started working on something I like and hope it works out, and also going to get back to work after being jobless for some time. That's all for the updates.
@pioneeringIdea7571
So happy you have a job and are in a better place, I'm genuinely proud of you and happy π©·π€
