I'm still in boys and girls!! today is day 36 no PMO, 5 weeks behind me, every day is now a personal record, yet everyday is day 1. 36 days no PMO no relapses.
I'm not using this forum too much, because I'm participating more in a brazilian forum. But I completed half of the reboot today!! I'm still in the challenge!!
Where are you djmotion? It's been a while since an update. Are you still leading the challenge? If not, who is?
Checking in. God, I'm a fucking whirlwind of emotions everyday. Lab research finds some way to test me every few days with failures and fuck ups. Academics keep me really busy, but I'm always paranoid I'm not doing enough to be competitive for graduate school admissions. I realized the past few days that it's wrong of me to keep fooling around with this girl I met, since I'm still kind of getting over my ex girlfriend (of 1 month). It sucks, but loneliness is probably the best path right now to have clear thoughts about the future. All of this while NoFap! I've come to appreciate true growth from waiting out, or toughening through your problems rather than jerking off to distract yourself. But I've also realized that masturbation isn't just though your penis and hand. It can be through TV to decompress after work. It can be the music you put on to avoid thinking about harsh realities. It can be the girl down the hall you've been sleeping with now and then to avoid loneliness. Masturbation comes in all forms. The only way to truly overcome these distractions is through harsh confrontation and commitment. I need to commit myself to get work done more often and go to the gym and be social with new people and read new books.
Thank you for this post! Wonderfully written. Stay strong and keep us updated! Update: I got a few urges but did not give in. Getting busy a lot lately. I work on myself every day. Stay strong people! Cheers! /Baldur
Another day of success. Almost 3 weeks in, and the temptations and the intrusive thoughts are minimal. Staying vigilant; keeping aware. Risky situation when an escort texted me. Deleted the text without hesitation. Feeling pretty damn good.
Checking in day 26. Feeling good! Only 154 days to go. SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION haha. Good luck everyone!
I feel much better than yesterday that I just fapped the day before yesterday. Had no energy whatsoever. Plus I over excersised and that contributed to part of that poor state.
For anybody interested in humanity and it’s cultural and biological and social histories I recommend a book I’m reading sapiens a brief history of humankind
