Check in. Reset again tomorrow. Disappointed and annoyed. If I can’t get going again I may see someone or something.
Still going pretty strong. 40 days is my longest streak without "M" ever. Have had some pretty strong urges this past week but relapsing was never an option. Overall, I'm feeling good. I'm finding that keeping it away from the senses (sight, sound, touch) makes the urge more fleeting. It may last a few minutes but then my mind naturally moves on.
Kind of struggling with PM withdrawals this morning. Watched a movie last night and it was racier than I expected. Tossed and turned all night but didn't act on the urges. I have vowed to be PM free for all of August and September so giving in is just not an option. I know that blah feeling will pass after a day or two and I'll be back on track. Hope the rest of you are hanging in there.
Done my 16 days but then the urges were too great. Previously I had been on a long car journey in which my brain went to fantasy places, so when I got home there was only one thing that I could focus on..... :-( Still 16's not bad, my 2nd best streak (28 being best). Here we go again.
I think recovering quickly preserves lots of the positives. Good luck on the new streaK. I’ll just check in here too. Counter at 2. Still trying to get another nice streak going. I think I messed up enough times now that it feels like I’m starting from scratch.
Check in. Had a great weekend at my in law's camp down in Maryland. It was much needed, and no cell service for a couple of days was pretty nice. And even my 2 teenagers enjoyed it and want to go back! Lmao, that says a million words in itself. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Hi guys, I'm back after a long absence. Things hit the skids earlier this year and never got back on track. But now I'm back, and at around 3 days PMO free. Artifact, may I join the waiting list? Thanks!
I get to a week tomorrow and then I go on vacation which is a time I rarely "need" a porn escape. As long as I get to Wednesday, I should get to Day 20.
So, it’s been a brutal week in terms of urges. And I had a Friday evening almost all to myself. I have no idea why I didn’t M. It was a naked moment when everything in me said “just try and see what happens” and something else inside rose up and said “no”. It was a weird experience. I did not M. Some thoughts from last week: - I love counters, competitions, etc. But they feed the part of me that said “just do it.” I know it is a pre-requisite for this thread but I feel it is best for me to ignore it because my Self loves that just like it loves jerking off, I do not want to feed it. - I gotta have a very good reason for nofap for it to work. For me it is my two sons and Jesus’s call for sexual purity that rings true to the core of my being. Have a good week, Gents
