I will be starting small here.
But, I will be ensuring to check-in at least every other day but at times daily.
I would like to write a longer update and I hopefully will on one of the days during the next two weeks.
In short, single in 20's that watches porn. Want to stop and live a more disciplined and spiritual existence.
Main issue is that I lose track of my goal and the "prize" in times of stress and downturns.
Any advice is appreciated.

Nice 1st post. Hatzlacha buddy!

Important quote from Cordnoy
"The need is a perceived one. There has not been one reported case on these pages of a death occurrin' on account of not fulfillin' that need”

“I avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.”

"My recovery must come first so that everything I love in life doesn’t have to come last."

If the issue is stress related, it would be advisable to find kosher stress release to replace what you have been doing until now. My personal experience was that exercise was very helpful.

Confucius Current streak: 1 day OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 29 Karma: 3	Thank you. Yes. I agree. I find that exercise puts me in a better place but it has not been a foolproof solution. For now I am putting a lot in the shorter goal and accountability aspect. Consider check-in for day 1 to have been completed.

I know about some resources, but it's in french...
ColinColin posted some resources in this forum, perhaps he could help you.

Also, in another approach, there is Rav Itsak Fanger's method, FHT, which is derived from mindfulness. He written a book about his method, and it is available in hebrew and french, so I think you can find it in english. It helped me a lot.

He made a very clear shiur in France some months ago about this, it's in hebrew with direct translation in french by a translator. I know this is available in YouTube but I downloaded it, so if there is a mean to share it in a more kosher site, please let me know...

Behatslo'ho !

Confucius Current streak: 1 day OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 29 Karma: 3	Coming up on six days here. A couple of close calls but still in this. I do not want to make the mistake that I have made in the past though where I got complacent after a few days of control. I think this weekend will be a challenge but I will take things one day at a time. Still aiming for the two week mark.
