100 Days Without P or M - The Ultra Marathon (Started on May 15, 2020)

I don't like weekends, that's why always work harder on them.

 

Rolling into Day 8 here, urges have felt worse than usual lately but I'm also coming off of being in the hospital earlier this month and I've been away from my wife (she is an RN and has had to work with COVID patients so we've been apart these last few weeks).

It'd be easy to give in but that would just be perpetuating a cycle of bad behaviors that I know I can and have overcome in the past. All of your stories keep my eyes on the prize ahead. Keep up and make sure to post if you need support! One team, one fight!

 

I'm feeling strong too. My week went as expected. Usually if I can break free I go a few easy days. I did have some unanticipated sex with my wife, throwing me back into the danger zone of chaser effect relapse, but I think I have a good grip on it this time, and adding an extra layer of a 96 hour "countdown" to increase my level of vigilance. All in all, I am super happy to be doing this, my first "challenge". I think the novelty of making it a game, adds another layer to my intense desire to defeat this other part of me who hides from the public, and yet, won't leave me alone. I need to rid myself of that person, and porn, and keep being as honest as possible about all of this, hence thank you to all that are here, any members that are just reading and @Jefe Rojo for creating this thing. Lets get after it guys, Monday morning is just a couple days and we'll be setting sail into double digit waters.

 

Precisely!

 

checking in, doing fine

 

Feeling good today, been lucky enough to not have any big urges or fixations on sex. One thing that hit me kind of hard yesterday is the realization that in order to succeed here I'd be going the entire summer without MO and I had some moments of serious doubts in myself. But it's a common trap to let the big picture take you down. As the old saying goes, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." And indeed, each mile walked (or ran) happens with a step at a time. So nobody ever experiences walking a thousand miles. Instead, they experience being consistent and persistent in their goals a single step at a time, and are then able to look back on the journey and see how far it's taken them.

Congratulations on your awesome streak so far and on getting past the urges that came up. Congratulations also on sticking with your workout routine! An hour each day is really good. I've been thinking of switching from full-body workouts every 3 days to split workouts everyday but I really don't think I have the time for it. I'd be a little worried about burning out too, but I'm really new to exercising this much so I'll probably stick with what's working for now rather than trying to improve it right away.

Have a great weekend Jefe, keep up the awesome work!

 

Hey guys!

Count me as participant please!

I started my current streak on 10 May 2020.
I had discovered nofap community since November... My biggest streak though was 32 days long... Now I feel i have stronger mindset, big willpower and I am determined to try my best...

Also i got really envolved in forum the last week.. it helps me to read your thoughts guys, it wakes me up, i learn new things, i see different perspectives and i dont feel alone in this journey...

Let's go guys!!
We are stronger than bad thoughts and habits!
With strength and willpower we will accomplish it and get improved!!!

 

93 to go my friends

 

Day 7 - completed.

On reflection, I have to admit the hardest part of my journey in the early days - were the 'night time' faps, which I programmed in my head to help me sleep. I'm not sure how others feel - but once I got past the first 4/5 nights of sleeping without fap - the journey became so much easier. I now sleep very peacefully without the fap, knowing that this is not the biggest trigger of my day.

I think sometimes we condition ourselves into our beliefs, but it is actually truly outstanding how agile our minds really are, and through perseverance, how quickly we can change our habits.

Just wanted to say thank you Jefe and the whole 'ultra marathon crew' - 1 week already gone, and I am treating it as a real sense of accomplishment. Take care and see you all on the track tomorrow for another day of running!

 

Hey guys

Count me in as well. I joined the nofap community a week ago after unsuccessfully trying to quit on my own for the past year. I just relapsed today after about 8 days so I'm back at day 0 but I'm dedicated to get to 100 with you guys. Come on, I know we can all do this!

 

Today it’s my day 18 guys,
This morning I had very strong urge and my thoughts were convincing me like I’m performing real sex and it wanted me to rub my Pvt part to my bed(those thoughts were my old seen videos and it started to trigger me like now I’m performing like that)
So I suddenly opened my eyes and sat on my bed and now my mood swinged to like,
I was feeling empty, everything going around me is not right, some kind of sadness etc...

 

Day 8 - no way! Wow that went quick...

I think as Jefe mentioned the other day weekends can be a a trick for many people. Maybe through our past conditioning, weekends are generally the part where we all 'let go' from weekly stresses. I remember waking up early in my early days of nofap on a Saturday thinking 'gosh its been a long productive week, i deserve some fap PMO time to unwind' Then I realised I wasn't even triggered by Porn, I was triggered by boredom...

Just remember guys, esp anyone who is struggling, most feelings and emotions are temporary, hang in there and they will pass.

Really excited to be starting this second week of 'ultra marathon' nofap!

 

Gotta be careful today I had wet dream last night, so I will be horny today if I am correct.
