col8love, congrats on 3 days. most of us here know how hard that 3 day stretch is. keep at it. this definetly helps, being a part of this forum that is. God bless.

day5 has started and I've never felt so strong. I have totally forgotten about the ways that where wrong. I am now focused on my future and my goal is at hand. Step by step and day by day I strive to be that Godly man.

Friday morning 2am relapse

I could feel something poking at my thoughts, images that I couldn't escape. I almost got away, but that urge came over me. I really wanted to stop, but by then I started.

AND I WAS DOIN SO WELL

79 days and going strong. but we had some hard times this past week my wife and i that is. we spent most of the work week hashing out some of the horrible th ings that I've done. and we have fought some. but we always ended the day well. proof that these were discussions, although heated at times. and we had a great weekend and i am confident that we have a better week ahead of us. good luck to everyone and God bless.

Wow 79 days! I'm on day 18, and hope by God's grace to keep strong. Its a new week, a busy week, and I gotta take one day at a time. Keep posting--it's encouraging to know that I'm not alone in this struggle. I was talking to someone and he said that instead of focusing so much on fighting against our desires that we should focus more on taking pleasure in the right things, in the right way. So, in addition to turning away from the desire to masturbate or look at porn, I'm going to try to turn towards something that is not harmful but pleasurable in a higher or better sense. Am I making sense?

I am at one day approaching two days real soon. I Know it is worth it it is worth it definitely sooo worth it. I am headed to victory land.

33 days, and I'm thankful for all you guys for the support and for allowing me to be honest and open. One day at a time.

Two days going on three real soon no porn no masturbating ever.

3 days of victory and i am beginning to see things anew almost as if i was in a coma before. i can't wait to post tomorrow!

4 days

Hello,


New to the forum, I actually didn't realize there WAS a forum/support site of this sort, but the internet is a wonderfull thing-sometimes. Yes, I have these addictions and have had them for at least half my life. Sometimes I can go a week, maybe a few weeks without the "need" so to speak, but then the urge,( usually triggered by something I saw, heard, or sometimes personal contact) comes back, and sometimes it can overwelm you if you let it! I hope this a good first step by talking to others with the same problem. The "problem" with this kind of addiction is that it can get to a point where's no shame or sense if it's right or wrong,(no offense to the religious intended here), and feels almost as "natural" as eating.

Interestingly enough I have gone 6 days without masturbation or porn. But I had a wet dream this morning so I do not know how to classify that. It is neither porn nor masturbation but I am wondering if I had a cause in it. Is having frequent wet dreams a withdrawal symptom of masturbation addiction? I've heard some say that.

I have been taking pills that increase testosterone because I suffer from depression and work out and I know these pills have affected me in the past as far as making me more sensitive in my genitals. The last time I had a wet dream was about six days ago so I am suprised I had one so soon. So, I am a little disappointed. I have also been thinking of women a lot which in truth in this day and age it is almost like looking at porn because of how they dress. So, I don't know whether to start again. Wet dreams are not a bad thing I do not think. It probably had a lot to do with my mental preoccupation and my testosterone level I may experiment with anti aphrodisiacs for at least six months and see what happens.

I will go another 6 days without p and m of course and not take the pills for depression and see if in another six days I have a wet dream. Perhaps some expert here can share how testosterone is regulated in the body and if wet dreams are the mechanism for getting rid of excess and if there are other ways to get rid of testosterone perhaps by excercising.
