It is not weird at all. I have taken comfort reading the struggles of other Spartans too. It reminds me that this path is not free from dark moments. And it also reminds me that these moments will pass. It is not in good service to the community for me to keep the dark periods a secret. What we need here is honesty about our process. I’m hopeful more Spartans will read my post and feel comforted.
Thank you for sharing and reminding us all how slippery the slope can be. I am glad you are here and look forward to hearing more from you.
It is true. There are thought patterns that pull us toward certain behaviours so we can get the reward. And often times the rationale seems completely innocent and rational. And then boom. We realize that we have been swindled once again. Thank you for sharing
Great to see you succeed! A few more days and you will earn the final rank before God of War. Way to go!
Check in Day 1(12) Hello Spartans, Today I reached 1,000 messages on Nofap. I went to look at the notable members section and saw something interesting. https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?members/&type=points I believe this is a reflection of the dedication in our community. I am very inspired by this. I have been listening to some material today and it really made me think for a moment about what we are doing here. This is not merely some weekend course. We are not merely giving up ice cream for a few weeks. We are resisting a deeply hardwired behaviour pattern. We are doing something very few people would ever attempt in their lives. We are accomplishing so much here. And sometimes I can forget that and not give myself credit. So remember Spartans, we are in a very difficult battle and each day we must celebrate our efforts. I felt a lot of frustration and anger and negativity today. Bitterness. A lot of feeling down about my life. My failures. I decided to face the day anyways. And do my best. I had a massive workout. I organized my day around my priorities. No big victories today. No major life achievements. I barely got anything done to be honest. But I maintained my disciplines. I did my best despite challenging conditions. And there is something magical in this. It matters. It might not seem like it does. But it does. Because it’s about attitude. It’s about action. It’s about outlook. There will be days where the external successes are just not there. No prizes. No awards. No recognition. No completion. Days where it looks like we are a loser from the outside. But that is where Spartans are different. We don’t quit just because we are losing. We don’t work hard only if we are winning. We are Spartans. We do our thing. We work hard. We push towards our goals. Period. Not when it’s easy. Always. I may not have any victories in the eyes of the world today but I won the day. Today is a victory. Because I did not allow conditions to dictate my life. I led my life today with discipline and dedication. I exercised my free will instead of blaming the weather. This is the freedom and glory of Spartan life. It is not easy. Easy doesn’t work. Let’s go Spartans!!!!!
Day 22, checking in. Glory be to God! That's pretty cool. Thank you to everyone here for your dedication and support.

Great going mate , today my father is not well therefore i had to remain in home and i couldnt go to library as i promised to myself , well no issue , i know my empty room and laptop in there is my solo trigger , i always try to watch porn on my laptop in closed room . This is one of the major trigger i think i have and to deal with it i am not staying in my room this time , i am at the living room with my family , watching classes there on my laptop . Not even a single thought of pmo had occurred since this morning . I unfortunately relapsed yesterday 4 hours of pmo and 2 ejaculations . But i am not staying on ground this time , i know this is the time where almost every addict will binge watch for more days and keeps on fapping as he not dont have a backbone of no. of days free from porn streak , therefore i know how my brain will try to trick me but this time i am ready for it . I am back on my feet and the only direction in which i am moving on is front . Lets go . Good luck to all of you , dont lose your guard not even for a mini second .
This is great to hear! You have always been candid about your ups and downs but you keep pushing, and that helps me to keep pushing. So thank you for your candor, tenacity, and inspiration
