quit for good
joepanic:
Hey friends This is a continuation of my post in porn addiction as this is more my journal and the other post was sort of mislabeled So from now on I will be continuing my journal from here
as of midnight tonight I will be 14 days free and I'm feeling pretty good no real side effects yet I've been spending my time doing as much reading as I can on the topic and slowly working on other things round the house to keep busy I am off work till March so tend to have a lot of free time The wife and kids are back to school and work this coming Monday when the real test will begin. Trying to take some time to find ways to get out of the house and do something meaningful. I think most of us understand how much we have missed things and forgotten even how to act and live in certain situations ie interacting with the public and our friends and family basically our confidence to achieve certain level of results is diminished I believe this could be the hard part in this so that is where I'm gong to put some of my energies Will keep you all posted as to how this moves along
Post often it helps me it helps you

Day 15 feeling pretty good a few urges but was able to suppress them by getting myself moving doing some organizing and working out/exercise I only have one thought thats been on my mind and if i win this battle years down the road will I look back on myself and think only poorly of these years any thought on it ?

Looking back on prior years and deeming them poorly is a pill called regret. I have "taken" this pill for many years and it got me nowhere but living under a negative cloud. For DECADES I regretted not listening to my parents' financial wisdom. It's only been about five years ago when I finally forgave myself. Thinking back poorly of previous times is also a waste of time. Again, I speak from experience. :(
Rock on, joepanic! ;)

Good job Joe! Keep it going. It is not easy and takes effort and work. Just 6 days for me as I felt it proper to start on 1/1. I have done it before, once for six months and another for two. It feels great when your brain is off porn!

Indeed, none of us can do a thing about yesterday, its done. Make today the best you can, seize every opportunity. The only way through is forward. You made the decision to be a quitter like the rest of us, that is a positive worth focusing on, regret and self flagellation only leads to a negative self view which easily leads back to PMO. When Cortez reached the new world, he burned his ships so his men would be focused on moving ahead, not looking to go back.
