Well I think there are a lot of positive things here. You are still motivated in this. You want to try again right away. And honestly it is hard to quit all at once. Most people trying to quit will go through a relapse. In the beginning I didn't even try to quit I just tried to hold on for x number of weeks. But those periods have made me stronger and have given me a year where P has been in the background most of the time. So good luck again, but remember cravings after relapse can be really bad so be prepared!

Hi again!

I have to thank you Slowmelove for wrighting here in my book. It's a good thing you do
I feel very motivated now! And I, honestly, didn't think that I would mannage to quit
completly on my first attempt. But this is a proscess and even if I will fall more times,
I will rise up and in the end, get rid of this addiction!

I think I probably will "fail" again, but I will do my very best not to! And if it happends,
say once a month for a year (example), P have become something SMALL in my life and
not some of the biggest things. If you understand what I meen?

But as said, I am motivated. I'm even discusted by the thougt of P today.
So new days will come! And, in the end, I will win

Have a good day everyone!

Hey dane

I'm glad to see that you keep posting. So many times members will join, post for a few weeks then leave as if nothing ever happened. I'm glad to see that you keep trying to overcome this and trying to make yourself stronger against porn. I know the journey for me has been a bumpy one, I quit just fine for 4 or 5 months but then it cough back up to me and I fell down on my rear. I've been picking myself up since. We just have to learn from each mistake, we have to keep picking ourselves up and make ourselves stronger.

I have confidence in you, that you can overcome this and you can be strong against porn. It may take a couple tries but you can do it.


Why do we fall? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up.

Thank you HalfPint! It feels great to hear that someone hasconfidence in you
I know the road will be, and are, bumpy. But in time, I now I will grow stronger and stronger! Maby it will take three tries, maby it will take twenty, but I will overcome it!
I am strong! I am positive and I love my life. This is, in a way, the only thing that I feel
shame for.

In the start, I didn't see any light in the end of the tunnel. But i just went 21 DAYS
without P, and that gives me confidence!

I will make it!

Hey Dane, I'd just like to add my support here. You are clearly fighting hard for this and judging by your mature and courageous attitude to slip-ups I am confident you will be able to beat this. HP is right, it is always great to see people who keep posting and keep fighting.

Keep up what you're doing man you're doing great!

Best wishes,

Ben

hey dane, good to hear. I'm glad that your sticking around. so many times people get discouraged and just up and leave, and that never helps anyone. I'm glad to see you've made it to 4 days, thats awesome, keep it up man, stay strong and keep looking forward. And remember, we are all here for you, if you need to talk, just send one of us mods a private message even, and we can talk with yah.

Thank you very much!
I think that this forum is a bit inspiration for me and I'm really glad I have you guys!
Couse, as you know, this ain't a problem you talk to all of your friends about.
No one (exept my whife) knows about this, so it's really great to have a place where I can be honest and open about my problem.

Thank you a lot!
