Hi everyone, Rightey-o, I've slept all morning and feel somewhat refreshed . Here's a new recovery tool: "12. Live in the moment: "One Day At a Time" as we often say. The thought of making a pledge to never act out sexually again can be discouraging and overwhelming. It's important not to worry about the past or project the future, just stay in the moment. If necessary, take it one hour or even one minute at a time. If you become overwhelmed by tasks to be accomplished, make yourself a list of things to do. Keep them small and simple. Tasks that can be accomplished in five minutes or less can be as rewarding as major long-term tasks, especially in that moment of confusion and bewilderment. Be mindful when your attention is not in the moment. When your mind dwells in the future or the past, you can do nothing. Remember, the only time you can ever do anything is right now." I will not act out today or engage in lustful fantasy.Cap

I'm with you UFO man. I will not act out today. I will not engage in fantasy. Today I am clean. I worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

I found it liberating to commit to never using porn again, I got tired of the for today approach, but it doesn't stop me posting here because I enjoy the contact and positivity of this thread

Thanks Cap,
Was just about to sign off when I read this. Great and timely thought for me right now. I have found myself too much in the past and future today.
Sober Today
Just for Today.
