Write Your Journal Entries Below!
As mentioned in the modules, the recovery journal is a very effective way to go on the offensive with your recovery. Up to this point, you have been reacting to urges, intrusive thoughts, and fantasies. Now it is time to go on the offensive! So here is how you can use this journal to maximize success: (I will know if you don't use this) Daily Entry: You can do one or both of these entries for your daily... 1) Talk about benefits, vision, or the "why" for that day. This can keep you mindful of why you want to get over your sexual vices, especially early on. You can even do the opposite, even though I personally don't use this one very often. So you can talk about what your life would be like if you were to continue to act out with porn, masturbation, or sex workers. 2) You can plan for you day in terms of recovery... Are you anticipating a stressful day? Plan on how you will deal with the stress when it comes up so you can ensure that you don't use a sexual outlet instead. Expecting down time? Create a plan... Use this entry to plan for potential pain agents so you can deal with them properly. This is my favorite use of the recovery journal and something that I still use to this day! Reactive Entry: Use this entry when you find yourself dealing with an urge. WHY? Because you will have DATA. WHY did the urge come? WHERE were you? HOW did you react? WHAT can you do in the future? It can even stop you from acting out, especially if you were to talk about your "why". Retrospective Entry: This is done after any setbacks that you may experience... Most men try to forget the experience ASAP because they don't want to sit in the pain. However, there is so much important data they aren't considering like WHY? WHEN? What can I do better on in the future? The men that have the most success in recovery collect this data when a setback occurs. If you want success, you do these daily below...

@Daniel Thomas 👍 thank you for sharing this. Addiction causes us to go backwards. Freedom helps us move forward.

Monday 6/24/24 I'm reminded of my vision and belief today. I believe God wants more for me than a life of obsession, guilt and shame. The past couple of days I've had some reminiscing about past experiences and it scared me. I feel better knowing that I didn't take it any further by searching online or planning. My resistance is high right now and I know I need to be cautious about thinking that I've got it made and I don't need this community. I still battle porn and spending too much time on social media but I have hope that my resistance will get higher and my desire for those will decrease in this program. This is my prayer today: Psalms 119:37 NLT [37] Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. This community and the classroom lessons have been a huge blessing in my life. I'm thankful for Josh and everyone that shares on here. I will spend this day reading the Bible, reading my AA book, cleaning and organizing, drum practice and a recovery meeting tonight.
