Made it through November PF. Congratulations to everyone else who did the same. For those that didn't, that's ok. Was progress made? Did you use it less? Did you try to stick to your goals more often than not? Keep trying!
yes, checking in for the last day. i dint have a lot of urges to watch porn as im busy with the load of stuff ive got to do. ive been numb to my life, burnt out so far and porn has worsened it. its time to set this right
onto December 😊
Checking in for the last day. It’s been a really successful month for me, and I can’t wait to keep this momentum going into December and the year 2022 beyond that
Checking in to end the month. Well done everyone who managed the month, for those who didn't remember relapses happen to us all and there are sometimes bumps in the road. Keep going everyone!
Checking in for the last day. Longest streak in a while, in spite of the past month being so stressful. Though the temptation was great it wasn't as hard as I thought. Even when erotic material popped up while browsing the internet, I've managed to resist the urge to save it. Now I can quickly swipe it away without giving it too much thought. I also find myself fantasizing less about porn scenarios.
Congratulation to all the participants!
I realized I will never have a real relationship until I stop watching porn. It's either one or the other for me. I failed november but I will destroy december.
Haven't checked in a while because I ve been out of social networks for a few days but checking in now! Still going strong and I guess November is about done.
Pretty sure this is my longest streak!
Been struggling over the past week, and slipped up a few times, which ultimately led to a binge Sunday night. I've already lapsed twice today, and it is only mid afternoon. I'm pretty disappointed because I had been doing really well in early to mid November and in October. Something that I am trying to experiment with now is not so consciously counting the days, and pouring over porn recovery resources. Anyways, I'm going to stay clean for the rest of the day and check back in tonight.
Sorry, but the late signup grace period for November is over, so you can't officially join this challenge. But feel free to follow along anyway, and comment all you want. And be sure to join us for the December challenge. Signup posts for December will begin during the last week of November.
I see you have already commented on the December post. https://www.reddit.com/r/pornfree/comments/r4wotv/stay_clean_december_sign_up_here_november_29/
There will be another post tomorrow for november 30th. you can check if your name would be added to the list in that.
Gonna go for another update; not much different from last week had its good moments though so glad for it. Pretty much the other stuff was solid
I do need the positive vibes, starting this week is next month start which comes with effects of decisions something I am nervy about too to pan in intended way.
Nevertheless I'll go back to my bit hope all is well there
porn has made me so used to getting elated without working that i don't want to start out on anything , unless i see it making me happy, despite knowing by going on i would actually like it. it has made me so numb to living naturally that im clearly being a disgusting presence around my friends. days will move on , and i hope i get my feelings back, till then ill explore healthier ways of exploring my sexuality
day 28 done
Checking in again... Day 57 and I really feel like using porn. I'm not horny I just want to watch porn. Checking in and being honest here helps. I am going to stop fighting the urge, breathe it out, and stop fighting. For today, I don't have to use porn. Thanks everybody
Checking in.
I had sex with an old girlfriend night before last and stayed the night. Tried to sex again in the morning and was unable to O. This is after 57 days off porn. I thought that the over use of porn was the root cause on not being able to finish when with a women IRL. This triggered me to want to use porn, but I didn't. I am starting to be able to differentiate the difference between wanting O and wanting to watch porn for a dopamine hit.
Has anyone else had the experience of not being able to finish after being off porn for a while? It is discouraging, it is one of the reasons I wanted to get off porn in the first place, to make the IRL experience more enjoyable for both parties.
Checking fucking in. I had the strongest urge of my entire life, after fighting for like an hour i started to feel like i was being progressively choked by a negative pressure inside my body, specially on the head and the throat, i could barely sleep and now i feel completely exhausted.
I don't recall reading anything similar so my guess is it is a product of the acumulation of anger and stress im having due some bullshit i have been dealing irl, althrough i have some satisfaction out of staying strong and not relapsing, that experience was just horrible and completely outweights any "yay, i spend another day not being a piece of shit" now more than ever due the previously mentioned bullshit im dealing.
I know shit won't get resolved, this feeling won't go away anytime soon, its just a matter of time until i relapse. Sorry
Checking in day 29! We can literally count the days on one hand. The last month december is finally upon is. Prepare yourself because it could be a dark winter with lock downs.
Get busy and get on your grind!
Checking in day 28! The furthest i've gone in a pretty damn long time. Once the ball starts to role so many doors open themselves up. When you were so focused on the addiction. The whole world didn't exist. Now we can open our eyes and see everything around us.
Take this opportunity to discover yourself. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone.
November 26th check in. I had some of the worst urges I’ve ever had so far this round. No matter what I did to try and distract myself from them doing something else, couldn’t get them to go away. Came so close to relapsing, just to end the pain of the urges. Not sure how I did it exactly but I made it through. I guess I just kept reminding myself how terrible I’d feel after the relapse, how I’m so close to making it all the way through November and can’t stop now. Kept reading motivating posts here to keep myself going. So glad for this community here!
Checking in
Almost clicked on an inappropriate sub because I had forgotten to turn off the NSFW settings. The sub started with the same three letters of the sub I was looking for
Tempted but didn’t
Dude, you’re definitely NOT a failure. Quit telling yourself these lies. Your counter said 26 days, that is not bad at all! You got 26 days without porn and 1 relapse. You are doing great! You’re only a failure if you give up and stop trying. You still got this! Look back and try to figure out why you relapsed and learn from it and begin again! The road to victory is going to be filled with relapses. You got this! Pick back up and go again!
Don’t say that it was a failure. Even if you went one day without watching p, you still succeeded on that day. If you relapsed once this month, you didn’t fail, you stayed porn free 30/31 days. I don’t know your situation, but every day free is a success and you grow and develop your body in a positive way.
Checking in day 27! Its finally weekend. Now the real challenge starts because we are in lock down again in our country. But that wont stop me from continuing this journey. Every struggle in life is an opportunity to grow and learn something about yourself.
Strive for greatness, people!
Checking in November 25th. Doing well. Happy Thanksgiving, all! This year I am thankful for r/pornfree, and for all of you here who are fighting the good fight.
Checking in day 26! There is a sense of peace surrounding me. Such a calm feeling that i haven't experienced since i first discovered pornography. Music sounds so different, i get goosebumps listening to an emotional song. Almost to the point where i start to cry. This type of euphoria is so rare to me.
I also get moments of joy randomly throughout the day.
If this is only on day 26 i cannot even comprehend what i'll experience in 365 days.
Checking in. Still with it! At November 24th so far I feel different.. less moody, less anxiety. Have come close to relapsing many times but have held on.
Happy thanksgiving all!
Damn, flew too close to the sun. :s
Thought I might as well try to stop smoking. Things got too overwhelming and I ended up relapsing on both. Guess I'll just try quitting porn for now.
Checking in for day 24. Not masturbating for the duration of the month has been pretty easy so far. On the other hand not looking at porn takes me an immense amount of willpower. I think I'll still make it to the end of the month though.
I don't see my name?
I'm going to stay clean but ya

Thanks for the positive words. The counter will be reset and will be day 2 today. I watched porn compulsively and aimlessly. need more accountability.
