Personal Change Blog: Entry 6

 

I am now five weeks clean from pornography. Being able to not watch pornography for over a month now is a huge accomplishment for me, and one that I am certainly proud of. To be honest I do not remember the last time I have went this long without watching pornography. As a node to achievement, I am going to treat myself by going to my favourite restaurant and ordering my favourite meal. I am going to do so because I want to cherish this small victory, and create a sort of award system, for each month I do not watch pornography I treat myself. Moving on, as for the mood swings, I was experiencing last week, I am once again dealing with them this week. Although I am still dealing with these sudden changes of mood, I have been able to keep my emotions more in check than last week. When I am agitated, I have been focusing on my breathing in order to calm down, by inhaling two quick breaths and exhaling. Throughout this week I have persistently been telling myself that I am in a good mood, which has actually helped me to be in a better mood than last week. After 5 weeks of not watching pornography, I can confidently say that my urges to watch it again have vanished. According to the 21/90 rule, I have successfully been able to create a habit after 21 days, and if I continue to not watch pornography, I will be making a permanent lifestyle change after 90 days.
