I didn't watch p’rn for 11 days now. I feel like I'm gaining my confidence back. I have no urges. However, I will still fail if I do not find the root cause down the road like in the past. I can go on for years and then it lurks behind me. I am determined to find my root cause. I have been applying ANTHEM principles everyday. The thoughts come and I eliminate thoughts right away instead of entertaining and before I rationalize. I do feel that this ANTHEM is an important principle but I need to be tuned with God. So I am going take small steps in start reading and praying daily. (Honestly, I haven't been). I'll start with small strides and hopefully my disciplines will help me to fortify my mind and heart.

Wow, this was one of the most insightful teachings I’ve heard on mind, body, dopamine and sleep. I have a few take aways from this session. I’ve realized that p’orn is a trigger that I have developed since I was 11 years old. So I created this pathway to stimulate and comfort myself when I needed that dopamine hit. When I was stressed I would go and look at p’rn. Even if I didn’t watch for few years, it was like visiting an old friend that understood me. Now I have other habits to combat this neuro pathway of loneliness, but when I am empty and depleted p’rn has always been the answer. Second, I was also astounded about the rat study and how the rat did not return to the drugged water but he was being rewarded with being around other rats and having other forms of pleasure as reward. So I have to find healthy substitute. I love to exercise and do martial arts so I need to be more intentional. And also have fun in a healthy way. Third, sleep another subject that stood out to me. I work the graveyard shift so I sleep about 4-5 hrs a day. I know that when I sleep less, I can’t function. I need to create a healthy sleeping pattern so that I can make better decisions. It is true that I make the worst decisions when I sleep less and I am more vulnerable. Also when I am tired I am not motivated and my dopamine level is low. I realized that I can’t execute and put my thoughts into action. Fourth, in regards to dopamine, I was shocked to hear that I am looking for more graphic every time. (This is so me). I get bored so easily and I am looking for content that is more graphic. I have been thinking lately that my sin will become a habit that destroy my life completely. This is my fear that I won’t be able to control my flesh and allow my flesh to control me and reap the consequence of my sins. But I am reminded of God’s grace today and I am not bound this. I haven’t watched yesterday. Today is another day of victory.

Thank you so much for the awesome teaching!
31 days Free!
After 31 days I am feeling alright about me being in control of my habit. I would say that I am definitely not as cautious as I once was when I started, for example when I started I was making sure that I wouldn’t even look at any women in public but now I am a little bit more lenient. And also, I have had thoughts of porn in my head occasionally that I should have immediately kicked out even though I don’t, because I know how it can lead to trouble. Some of things that helped me the most in making it 31 days was definitely understanding my root cause of why I do it. My root cause was that I was lonely, and didn’t have any friends that I would hang out with, or any girls that I would hang out with, because of my social anxiety. And instead of facing my fears and learning how to get over them I would turn to porn and run away from them. And when I was still watching porn I never actually knew that this was the reason why I was doing it. And after watching these videos on this app it really hit me and surprised me of how I never thought of how that was the reason why I was going to porn. And after realizing that it made me really want to stop, because of how much porn was ruining my life and how much I was missing out on because of the fact that porn was becoming my substitute for friends and relationships. Another thing that really helped me was eliminating all of my excuses that I used to have like, the longer you go without it the better it will feel when you do it. I learned that lesson when I hit 29 days without porn, and I slipped up right before hitting 30 days, and after I did it I felt horrible not only because of the fact that I just failed myself but also because of the fact that it wasn’t even fun or enjoyable at all. another excuse that I used to tell my self was that you’ll quit when you get married but after watching videos on this platform, I’ve seen at least five or six videos of recovery stories of people that are still doing it when they’re married. These where the 3 things that really helped me just say no to porn. I hope that my story will help you guys Maybe learn a thing or two about how you can quit porn and also help encourage you guys to no give up so that you can hit 31 one days too. I also really hope that I am finally done with porn, and right now I am trying to hang out with more friends so that I can fix my root cause and hopefully prevent myself from ever doing this stuff again. God bless!
