I'm closing in on my goal and will have 30 days without porn or masturbation tomorrow! The longest I have gone since before puberty (I'm pretty sure), which was 40 years ago. Hey, better late than never. After that I will set another 30 day goal. I struggled with some tempting thoughts last night. Saturdays were my traditional day for engaging in the behavior. I got through it and went for a walk this morning and now I feel like I'm back on track. |

Made it to 21 days and feeling great! 9 more days to my 30 day goal and that will be a record for me since probably before puberty (back in the 70s). When I was young I never realized that abstaining from this behavior was an option. The truth is, the more you abstain from it, the easier it gets. |

10 days and feeling good! One third of the way to my goal. I feel that I'm really going to make it this time, thanks in part to this site. Nothing like good old fashioned money to motivate a person. I've been feeling some unpleasant emotions and having weird dreams for the last few days. I know this is my brain attempting to readjust to life without "the activity." In the 12-step recovery groups they used to say that's what happens when you get some clean time from your DOC (drug of choice), so I know I'm on the right track. Good luck to anyone else with this goal and feel free to be my supporter. |

My first day... feeling confident and hopeful. Of course, I have struggled with this goal many times before, but never with this extra element of publicly shaming myself and paying money if I fail. Should be interesting. |
