I wouldn’t reset either. We live in a world full of erotica. Hard to escape it. Don’t let it steer you into P and M.. first days are the hardest! Keep pushing!!!

 

Hi @artifact !
The steps I follow to post this gif:
1. I am using Opera browser
2. Search a gif image. I did it in images.google.com and click the selected gif
3. Right button over the image and select "Copy image"
4. Right button and select "paste" on my post... that's all
I really don't trust my determination very much. I have to thank God for every achievement, and to you for the encouragement and understanding!
Greetings!

 

Reset PM for me.

 

Day 30/1

Im not resetting, but this /1 is a reminder for me, of how close I was relapsing. It takes just a little mistake to fall, when you go walking on the edge. Scary to think even. After 10days being clear of this kind of actions, ill let it go, and be on day 40.

 

That sucks dude, what happened?

 

Once things start going down hill for me, like from where you are at I mess up every. Single. Time.

Something small.... like looking at an image next to a news story and not looking instantly away and I’ll mess up within a few days.

 

Yep. To look away is a decision. And in your case, its a hard one. You know that if you dont look away, youll fall. Maybe you should aknowledge to yourself, that its important to look away after first glance. The more time goes on, the harder it gets, until that breaking point, after that it gets easier. How many days it will take, to get to that breaking point, I dont know. Different for every one. The right mindset is crucial.

 

Check in Monday. Talking about the glancing, it's so important to make that decision to look away ASAP. ON my journey to work there can sometimes be so many distractions, if you know what I mean, and my learned behaviour is to keep looking but I need to stop.....

 

Day 31
Dealing with inner issues. Im weak. Not towards PMO, but im weak. Its Hard to admit that.

 

And I relapsed, no porn just MO. Day 0
Hangover is the reason if anyone is interested.

 

Day 5, all ok. So easy to be hooked back into old habits, and I wonder if that is what is happening to a lot of people here with the relapses? I know that’s what happened to me. Identifying that hook, that feeling, and studying it, de-mystifying it, taking the power of the urge away, that’s the advice I’ve received and read about. Not easy, but worth doing.
Good luck everyone, stay strong.

 

Check in Tuesday.

 

I defeated lots of hooks but I’m stuck on what I call storms.

They can come on their own or I can start them by not looking away. It’s frustrating. I can’t make it through more the a couple of days like that. I feel foggy. Urges all the time, never more than a couple of hours away. I made it 2 months before a storm and they come as quickly as 1 week.

The “normal” days I have figured out now. That is nice. I’d love to make some progress with the storms.

 

Hey I’m no expert but there is something in “non-action”, or observing the storm without doing anything. It is essentially a form of meditation. It helps me.

 

Chek in day 151... 5 months!
I think it is the longest period without PM in my entire adult life ... sad achievement but finally an achievement.
We have chosen the way out, the way of healing ... it can be difficult and even with relapses, but it is the right way.
Do not faint, do not be discouraged, do not become careless. Let's celebrate our achievements, let's meditate on our falls to never repeat them again.
Again I want to thank NOFAP and all of you for the support, the company and the sincerity.
Especially thanks to Jesus, without his power and help he could never have achieved anything.
These months were wonderful, with a lot of creativity, peace of mind, balance ... can withstand several complex problems without resorting to old habits.
Greetings to all, I encourage you to move on, as many as NOFAP have encouraged me!

 

Checking in. Day 2. I gotta admit I'm struggling. It's like my fight is gone. I'm not doing it every day, but I swear when I do there is no fight whatsoever. I'm definitely digging in the Bible more, but I gotta get out of this rut. I keep forgetting how good it felt to get over 60 days! It was freeing! I'll be checking in here more often as well. I've been so busy I've been letting things go that help... sorry for the ramble lol, have a good day

 

Day 1
No chaser, no libido. Journey continues.

 

YES! Thanks! I have been struggling and need the accountability.

 

Checking in. Back down to 1 day.
