Porn Free Mantra

Just thought I’d share this for others who are struggling with porn detox:

I’ve tried several times to cut myself off from porn with little or no success. I think the most time I’ve gone is a month, and that was brutal.

I’m now 3 days into my latest attempt and I’m feeling great because I’ve tried a new tact. I repeat the following phrase to myself on the way into and from work:

“I am able to live a porn free life.”

I have not had any urges to look at porn the last 3 days. I think it’s because I’m focusing on the affirmative as opposed to the negative.

I used to think “do not look at porn” or “I can’t look at porn.”. When saying that, I think all my brain heard was “look at porn.”

Now, by focusing on the affirmative, my brain hears “porn free” and thinks/reacts accordingly.

I’m sure plenty of you will think I’m nuts and that’s fine, but so far it is working for me and for those of you who need help, give it a try.
