Keep going mate.

 

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog. One of my favorite paintings. Great choice. Looking forward to seeing more of you here!

 

I love this painting, thank you!

 

Thanks for letting me join. Question: Where do I find the updated members ranking? I couldn’t find my name.

 

Cool! I am doing the 90 days challenge and I find the support and advices from the group members there very helpful. So I hope to catch some more perspectives over here.

 

I have read the rules and would like to join this group". Please read these rules before you request membership. 20 members will be the limit, in accordance with the NoFap rules.

 

It's day number 2. Trying to quit 20 years of porn and prostitutes addiction, I love the idea of being in this group and it really motivates me (sorry for any mistake, I'm not mother thongue).

 

Thank you

 

Found my name thanks....looking forward to climbing the latter.

 

Saturday check in, hope you're all having a good weekend!

 

I’m checking in for Sunday. Does anyone else on here avoid and stay off youtube completely. I have relapsed in the past many times, and 95 percent of the time it’s because of youtube. Youtube is borderline porn and it’s not hard to find bad stuff on there. Even if one is being responsible on youtube, there’s still all kinds of innocent videos that are still triggering...So I’m done with youtube. I recognize that youtube is absolutely one of my triggers, so i don’t have a choice.

 

Relapsed after 13-14 days.
I am good with it , it has been a while since the last time i made a streak like that.I just have to be careful not to end up in a relapse cylce like so many times had happened.
The realistic goal for now is to make streaks like that.As many guys here said "one step at a time".

 

Hey guys, jumping back on after a reset and PMO life for the last week.

I promise to stay strong today. I don't know if my mind will flip tomorrow, but I can do my best to stay strong today.

 

Thank you. I'm looking forward to be inspired by the success stories on this thread and holding myself accountable as well as supporting group members in their time of need.

 

Totally! YouTube is definitely a trigger for me as well. I always make sure it's on SafeMode, and I have a 'Work mode' in my SiteBlocker that I turn on whenever I want to be productive that blocks Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, the news (apart from my regular blocked porn sites that I keep blocked all the time). But even then, when I allow myself a short visit to those sites, I get triggered a lot of the time. We have to be aware that temptation lies in the smallest things and can catch us by surprise any time.

 

Day 4, going on!

 

Checking in for Monday. Later today will be day 5. I know 5 days isn’t a lot. But 5 days is almost a week, and a week is almost double digits. So knowing that I’m almost back to 5 days in a row feels good. Definitely something to be proud of. But something to think about: I recognize that my mind/brain is walking on thin ice right now. A relapse can happen at anytime. I caught myself looking at my boss (female) a couple times today. That’s not a relapse, but we all know what a little ogling leads to. And you guys know how when we first sign into this nofap website; how there is that video of the older lady talking about the lawsuit...Well, I found myself looking at her for about 5 seconds and felt desire building up inside. She’s an example of if I was regularly PMO I wouldn’t look twice at. But the fact that I’m on hard mode going on day 5, most things suddenly look good and I need to be careful.

That’s why I posted a couple days ago about how I don’t go on youtube period anymore. Same thing with any internet images period: no facebook, or anything that has a picture.

Because that desire/arouse is like a big sleeping dog (as someone on this website described it as); and as we go about our days, we need to be careful to not wake it up.
