We can live a fuller life, more meaningful than simple pleasure seeking one.
That is not who I am.
I tackle complexity, achieve respect from people near me.
I always have the courage to tackle difficulties, and serve as the role model for people around me. That's how I feel good about myself.
There is a secret part of me that looks more long term changes in myself.
More sustained satisfaction is what I am after.
Calm. After jogging exercise, I felt refreshed. Getting more stuffs done.
Less urges. Even though there were triggers from TV shows, I told myself to not think about porn.
Watching short videos didn't trigger my desire.
I felt good about:
New vocabulary:
No one. I was mostly alone at home yesterday.
Reading the Sex Ed.
Realizing the correct way to look at porn, I felt different motivation to improve myself.
Still calm.
Distracted by more valuable stuffs. Now my thinking is more linear, effective, profound and long term.
Feeling good knowing that I'm focusing on the long term and becoming a better person

There were some strong flashbacks. Very enticing to think about those images.
Even the word meaning
helps me distract from those bad thinking.
If I slip, what would happen.
Nothing else seems very interesting, and makes me happy.
Good things need to wait. 3rd week, that's a new record. I think we can make it.
slipped again on Dec. 22
But my body is too tired.
My brain is ticking
A pattern I noticed: One slip always followed by another one within a few days
