No PMO War XXXIX

I read or heard somewhere that compulsive behaviours resulting from addiction stem from a sense of inner emptiness within a person. The solution is to fill that emptiness with something of value, something greater than ourselves. I think that this something greater than ourselves is love in all its forms. It seems quite simple, even naively simple, but I believe that is exactly how it works. In a person’s inner life, either this emptiness exists, or love takes its place. I believe this to be true because when I had a partner, I did not exhibit any compulsive behaviour, and when I no longer had one, unfortunately, those behaviours returned. Of course, love for a partner is just one form of love, so even if that particular form of love is absent from your life, you can work on cultivating other forms of love – such as self-love or even love for others, manifested in the form of selfless help for others. I wish you all the very best🙏🫂

I feel quite sad after I quit porn. After few days, I'm suprisingy unenthusiastic and kinda bored. Easily get angry, upset or just feel loneley. I've been watching porn for years and last week I fapped 13 times in 72 hours. I heard it will take long time to recover

Even if it looks like you aren’t making progress, you are. Here’s to another day.

Remember that we can persist despite moments of uncertainty, and we don’t need all the answers in the moment. Hope you are all doing well in one way or another.

Good news and bad... I’ve been off porn for over 3 weeks but I let my lustful fantasies get the better of me and fapped in bed last night. I need to unsubscribe from getting emails from Pinterest 🤨

Remember that it is you, not only who has struggled, but also who has it in them to take control of yourself and heal. We can do this. One day at a time 👍

I had a dream today that I talked to some guys at the sports center that the thing motivated me to do more in my life was no nut november, because people in that month go hard to improve their life by any means necessary. For me it's not only month without jacking off, but the month without excuses, laziness or time-wasting activities. I joined the gym in 2025 in NNN to get rid of urges. I've lost NNN, but I still go to the gym without breaks. I thought I gonna lose motivation after 2 or 3 months, even if it's quite expensive.

Mines to fight against this corruption in my heart To nurture innocence & kindness in me. To be free from this sin and to be free from the shame that covers me when I fail A good portion Christianity and a good portion purity for my own self Whats yalls reason for this?

The new war has just begun and I was hit by a massive urge just minutes before it started. I managed to get through it, but I anticipate many more to come… The enemy is crafty and persistent, so put on your spiritual armor and prepare for battle 🙏💪

some time ago there was a few false-starts
