I hate the fact that these are compulsive behaviors, so for the next 30 days I am going to go without masturbating or looking at pornography. My goal is to weaken these habits and hopefully set myself up for giving them up totally. I originally intended on starting today, but I already ruined it.
Let that tell you how little control I exercise over these behaviors.
I understand that there are benefits to masturbation. I am giving it up for spiritual reasons only. I don't mean to start a debate about whether masturbation is appropriate or healthy.
Wish me luck. I have a feeling this fight is going to take everything out of me (well, almost everything
).
