How long did it take for you to say that you genuinely "beat" your addiction?

Like at what point would you say that you overcome your bad habits, I reduced time I spend on porn by like 90% and now rarely get in contact with it. I got out of bad habits and feel like I'm getting way healthier, even if the road ahead is still a long one...So when did you realize that you made it?

Well this sucks.

It feels like I'm trapped. I havent even gone 24 hours since I last gooned and the urge is unbearable. My brain is like reddit and I get filled with gooned albums 😂. Maybe I need to try and just not look at reddit ever and just goon from my brain. Maybe the thoughts will eventually go away

1st Day - I'm trying to start

So basically I amde up my mind last week, that I will try to stop all gooning activities starting in August. It's the first day and I just woke up about an hour ago, and I'm already struggling. It's so hard and I don't know if I can do it.

I want to try breaking away from my addiction for at least a month, so basically the whole month of August.

But even rn, I'm so horny that I just want to touch. Please, I need advice, any help is welcome. Thank you!

Triggered and need help

I thought I was helping someone on here but they ended up triggering me .

Now normally I'm really good and laughing these people away at their terrible attempts, but I'm not sure what happened.

I was getting ready to do a favor for someone and I feel hesitant like my motivation is getting tugged or, pulled back.

mention a game, or movie or anything I could use a distraction

Bad relapse last night

Been doing pretty good avoiding any triggering content. But last night, instead of just listening to sleep reminder I instead doom scrolled. And scrolled right into some triggers unfortunately. Barely even put up a fight and relapsed. Went all last night. And only stopping now finally to type this out.

Its day 12 and now I am easily triggered by faces

I am doing my best to distract myself but hot faces are something that I am not able to resist. Even though I go for walks I am coming back to it.. this is not easy.

4 hours of sleep and running on empty today

Rough night. Vivid dreams, the sexual kind, the kind that leave you unsettled instead of rested. Barely slept because of it, and today I'm just... low. No motivation, foggy, going through the motions.

I know dreams aren't relapses, logically I know that. But it still leaves this weird residue, like my body's confused about something my mind didn't even choose. Doesn't help that I'm running on fumes either, everything feels harder when you're this tired.

Not really looking for advice today, just needed to say it somewhere. If you're also running on empty for whatever reason, you're not alone in that.

Day 51

Been seeing a lot of posts from people in their first two weeks, and I cannot stress enough how important it is to find some time away from the screens, even a five minute distraction can stop you from doing things that you do not want. Open to chat with anyone who needs help
