9/9/23 - no youtube, no P, no computer games.

I've been in a funk lately. My mind is all over the place. Hopefully I'll come out of it soon.

Web-browsed on my phone yesterday. Tempted to watch P but didn't.

Just coz I've web-browsed on my phone doesn't mean I should watch P and watch youtube and play computer games.

Stay strong.

Really can't be bothered posting here anymore, but I feel that if I don't then I might be more likely to fall back into P and youtube.

 

You’re doing great! When you’re in a funk, it’s best to let us know. Usually this where people fall off easily.

 

10/9/23 - no youtube, no P, no computer games.

Thanks WNM!

Feeling better today.
I've been giving myself some positive affirmations.
I'm still going strong with no youtube, no P and no computer games.

I web-browsed on my phone again yesterday. But the past two days has just been because the tennis is on. I wanted to web-browse on my phone again this morning but stopped myself because I can just be disciplined, wait a while, and view what I wanted on a computer.

I'm going to try and do another streak of 100 days without web-browsing on my phone. That'll give me something to aim towards.

Cheers,
tig

Hey tig, sorry to hear you've been in a funk! I read back through your posts and seems like it is difficult when you have achieved your goal (of 100 days) and maybe it didn't feel as spectacular as you thought, but that's also because you're on a long journey and process. Reaching day 100 wasn't the aim in itself, the actual aim is to abstain for 100 days, and that is a day-by-day process which you've been doing so well at! Please keep posting on here, I'm sure it will keep you motivated and always happy to chat if you're feeling low.

How many days has it been since you last watched P? Try not to be too hard on yourself about the web-browsing. Everyone's goals are different, but if you've really done a long streak with no P that's something to be very proud of.

 

Day 3 (13/9/23) complete - no web-browsing on my phone.
no youtube, no P, no computer games.

Cheers ComebackKid,

Nah I didn't expect reaching 100 days to feel any different, just a normal day. I know that I'm doing well and I'm not hard on myself for web-browsing on my phone. Was just feeling low due to things going on in my life at the moment. But I did some cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and felt better after about 3 days, which is a lot better than before I got into CBT. Back then I'd stay in a funk for several weeks.

Last P was about 190 days ago, last youtube was 174 days ago

 

No porn for 190 days is incredible! Congrats.

Day 0 (17/9/23) - no web-browsing on my phone.
Went on instagram on my phone and M'd.
Oh well, I'm human.
But I think that's slippery slop to P.
So looking to nip that in bud immediately.

 

Checking in.
Going strong with no P, no youtube, no computer games.
No progress with M, but not sure how much I care. Not motivated to stop.
Started using internet on my phone again but my plan is only 2 Gigabytes or something like that so I've already run out for this month, so that takes care of that problem til the next cycle.
Concerningly, I've started looking at some sexy videos on my phone to M to. No nudity/sex/porn. But still, that's what gets me started.
Just finishing off uni at the moment. Only got a few months left for the year. So really just focusing on that.

But I think it's important to stop the web-browsing on my phone and M'ing to any kind of videos/pictures. If I'm going to M, I'd like it to just be my imagination.

Maybe one day soon I'll make another firm commitment to stop web-browsing on my phone.

Maybe one day soon I'll make another firm commitment to stop M.

But I have slipped back to looking at the internet on my phone.
This is bad for my eyes.
This is also bad for my concentration as I find myself wasting 15, 30, 45, 60+ minutes at a time just scrolling on my phone.

Making another firm commitment today to not browse the internet on my phone for 100 days.

Today (15/10/23) is day 0.

Cheers,
tig
