Just hit my 21 day streak today. I am starting to get back where I was. My mind is starting to clear and I am finding peace. During my relapse I found myself thinking about sex more than anything else. I am 26 years old I used to spend more than half my day thinking about sex and porn. The energy that I put in thinking about this started to disgust me. I found myself asking questions like why can’t I use this energy in how can I improve my life? Whenever I get on a streak I am stronger in the gym and have more energy throughout the day. For those who are struggling what helped me is constantly being busy. Do not be alone in private with your phone in hand you will get the urge. When the urge comes take deep breaths and think about something else. Play chess or Tetris. If you want to get a mean dopamine spike go out in public and talk to a woman. Cold approaching is not easy. However, set small goals. You see a woman in the supermarket ask a question like “where is the baking soda?”. You will start building confidence. I am not a pickup artist however, this has really helped me get the fix I need to stay off the porn.
