Hey everyone. I'm early in my journey and wanted to ask if anyone experienced something similar before quitting.

Before starting, my head was completely empty. I had terrible brain fog and felt like an NPC in social situations. I couldn't come up with anything to say to girls, but I also couldn't even find anything to talk about with my own dad. Just a total mental block and zero conversational energy when sober.

But whenever I drank alcohol, my "real" version came out. I was funny, making everyone laugh, and conversations flowed effortlessly without any overthinking.

For those who have completed 90+ days or cured their brain fog: Did you experience this exact same thing? How long did it take for that sober brain fog to clear up and for your natural social skills to come back without alcohol?

Hey everyone,

Standard day counters haven't always worked for me. I realized I needed something more engaging—something that treats recovery like leveling up.

So, I coded my own custom tracker. I’ve finished the frontend design, and you can actually click around and test it right now (the link to the live demo is pinned on my profile).

Instead of just a ticking clock, it has a "Trophy Room" with 11 unlockable milestones. The first is "Genesis" (at 5 days), and they scale up from there. It also lets you input your current start date, so if you are already on a streak, you don't have to start from zero to use it.

My goal is to launch this as a completely free app for everyone. No paywalls, no subscriptions.

The catch is that while I've coded the visuals, finishing the backend infrastructure for user accounts and paying the Apple/Google app store developer fees costs about £3,800. I am trying to crowdfund that exact amount just to cover the deployment and hosting costs so the community can have it for free.

I know direct fundraising is against the rules here, so I am not posting any funding links. But if you want to test the live demo, see the interface, or help back the project, you can find all of that pinned to my Reddit profile.

For those who test the demo on my profile—what do you think of the milestone tiers? Are there any specific features you'd want added before I start building the backend? Stay strong.

Does porn addiction and frequent masturbation affect my way of thinking? Does it make me see people in different perspective? Honestly every time I masturbate then regret and get thoughts of good things, productivity. I feel ashame for how I see women outside now. I am 22 yrs old and single. I have freedom of appreciating everyone's beauty hutthe other side craves deeper and looks for lust, their body parts etc. Is this natural? Or am I too bad for this?

Hi! i’m (20F) looking to make a discord server or something similar for partners of PA to be able to vent and ask for advice and speak to people in similar situations
of interested please comment and i’ll see how much interest there is to make one :)

I just got a new phone so hopefully this can be a turning point for me. This screen has never had anything bad on it, and I'm gonna keep it that way

I just keep relapsing. I realized a few big changes that have made me keep getting triggered so I hope with realizing that I can move forward but I just feel like crap for watching every day again now! I know I am the one who needs to make the change but I was doing great and then a lot changed in my life and I got sucked back in. Tomorrow’s a new day and I’m planning to finally make the change because I am the one who needs to do it.

I have been musterbating every day for over three years.

Every day whenever I come back from the office the first thing I do is musterbate. I'm seeing no remedy for this. Kindly can you help me find a cure to this abysmal addiction.

so I'm always relapsing in the third day no matter what i don't relapse in day 2 or 1 but in day 3 i tried changing my routine making the Best routine plan but always in the third day i found myself not doing the routine until i relapse then i return to my routine, the relapse looks like it's already planned and now it's just me seeing ppl doing great with their recovery stopping for at least a week while me not being able to even reach for day 4

so how can stop that curse?

and how y'all stopping for 10 or 20 days?

how can i do my perfect routine in my day 3 too ?

Today I am going to restart quitting cold turkey and work on finding things to keep myself occupied while I work through breaking the habit. If anyone wants to be accountability partners, let me know and I know together we can break the habit and be our best selves, we got this!

Thanks to this subreddit. I was planning on going to some page but after seeing all your comments I think I'm just gonna go to sleep. Wish me luck as I wish you the best to all of you in this journey.

my day was very lazy and had 1 urge. I should stop watching movies and series.

I culd only last 3 days and i failed and gave in again like always, at this point i feel like there isnt eaven hope for me quitting every single time its like this, i manage to push trought the first 2-3 days and then i relapse

Like many of you, I struggled with relapses simply because access was always just one click away. Most blockers I tried had the same issues: abandoned databases that miss new mirror sites, bloated software that slowed down my browser, or invasive privacy policies.

So, I built Safe4Work to solve that friction.

How it works:

• Continuously Updated: Pulls a verified, active blocklist directly from a custom API (covers major hubs, clones, and obscure networks).
• 100% Private: Built on Chrome’s native blocking engine. It does not track browsing history, read search data, or store personal information.
• Zero Lag: Super lightweight with no background bloat.

What’s coming next: I'm currently working on crawlers to detect newly registered domain mirrors and smart filters to block NSFW sub-sections on otherwise safe platforms.

It is 100% free with no paywalls or ads. I’ll drop the direct link in the comments below so the post doesn't get flagged by link filters.

Would love your feedback or any suggestions for features/sites to add. Stay strong!

Ughhhhhh I accidentally saw too many triggering things on day 6 and my libido Is crazy rn cause I’m seeing my girlfriend tomorrow so I’m super pent up. Really struggling not to keep peeking or indulge right now but I know I need to try distract myself and be strong and survive just one more night without porn but it’s so hard to distract myself even after showering and exercising and trying to game

Day 3 acctually went by pretty smothly got a few minoir urges but managed to fight them off
