The paradox of recovery is this: the more I think "I'm finally free from porn!", the lazier I get and I'm more likely to stumble. But when I think of the struggle as ongoing, I remember the importance of good habits and daily boundaries, which actually leads to better recovery.
Day 41. This is the longest I’ve gone. Really focused on getting reconnected to my recovery. Complacency was creeping in. The porn free radio podcasts were a great resource I found that have helped me get back on track. #Addiction#Recovery
On day 36 of my recovery from #SexAddiction. I woke up this morning with fear and anxiety, but I was able to overcome that with a yoga class. My outlook has returned to positive. I hope one day this feeling of impending doom will subside.
@LDSPornAddict This is great news. I recently was tested by this and while there were a few trying moments I was able to overcome and resist. It’s an empowering accomplishment.
@LDSPornAddict That’s good to know. Sometimes knowing what’s to come makes it easier to deal with the moment. Stay strong and congrats on your recovery !
Typically being home alone is when I acted out the most with my #SexAddiction. It’s 1012 pm my time and I’ve been alone all day.. so far, so good. #Recovery
Haven’t tweeted in a while. Have been working hard on my recovery. Found a good support / accountability group through Reddit. Made it over 30 days so far and counting in recovery from my #SexAddiction. Longest I’ve gone. Thanks for the love and support a Twitter fam
"Behind every screen on your phone, there are ... literally a thousand engineers that have worked on this thing to try to make it maximally addicting"

Watching porn as a way to meet your sexual needs is like drinking poison as a way to quench your thirst. Even if it seems to satisfy you in the moment, it will always hurt you in the end.
#Addiction cheats any life it touches. Love is never the same. Families & friends lose priority. Words get lost in deceit, & truth is distorted. Valleys become deeper, & highs become harder to achieve. Nothing's normal. The desire to feel real again is a catalyst for #recovery.
I play basketball to work out. I can’t tell you how many mornings I went to play depressed, feeling shame, and feeling disgusted with myself based on my addiction. Today was one of the first times in a long time I played with a clear conscience. It’s oh so sweet. #Recovery
Has anyone ever felt connections being made in their brain as they are working their #recovery program, reading a book, or doing a recovery exercise? In the middle of the SMART workbook I can actually feel my brain having those “aha” moments. It’s hard to describe but great
24 days. It’s the longest I’ve ever gone. Still a long way to go, but I’m allowing myself this moment to stop and appreciate what I’ve accomplished so far. #SexAddiction#Recovery
Stopping and reflecting on a very minor urge I just had to search for an old acquaintance of mine. I used mindfulness to think about why I was having that thought and how much damage it could cause to me, my recovery, my wife and kids if I acted on it. #SexAddiction#Recovery
Today is a challenging day. I remember the last time I had these feelings. I relapsed and went on a bender for about 8 days. Incorporating my recovery techniques and tricks to prevent that from happening. #SexAddiction#Recovery
