Day 173 check in. Doing okay. Got a good streak going. Busy with work and family life. Don't need P or M. I find that's key, keeping yourself occupied.
its more easy to acomplish day 10 than before practice and practice even tho its fail keep trying again
Hehe...Since September has already begun let's be "competitors" and see how well each one does on their respective teams. This will be fun and thanks for helping me find this thread.
Day 1 once again. I relapsed on Sunday but I am not going to let that set me back. I am back to setting small milestones to help me along the journey. I am also resetting some of my challenges. Challenges Wake up at 6.00 am: Day 0 of 10 Read a book in 4 days (Total Freedom by Krishnamurti) Day 1 of 4 and on page 35 Take a cold shower Day 19 of 30 No internet from 7PM on wards: Day 1 of 10 No YouTube: Day 0 of 10 Meditation: Day 14 of 60 Morning Routine (Affirmations, Gratitude, Light exercise): Day 1 of 10 JavaScript learning 2 hours a day: Day 0 of 10
Day 14 Yeah it's still pretty tough getting started again hey. I do find though that once I've got a few days PMO free again, I am reminded that it is still easier than it was last time because the neural pathways for the addiction have continued to fade away during the streak. In other words, even though I may have dropped the ball, the commitment to avoiding it up to this point has still been worth it - it's still been achieving something. Sweet! And yep, that's what we've gotta do: even when we fail, to get up, remind ourselves of why we're here, and push on
I agree. From my experience, although it feels easier and more naturally the longer you go without porn, you also forget quickly how boring porn was when you watched it all the time and all the other bad things about it. Suddenly porn becomes interesting again and I'm sure it also creates much more dopamin when you just think about it or when you start to peek and eventually relapse. That's probably part of the addiction. Which means that this also must be and can be overcome!
Day 19 I really enjoyed it too. Am looking forward to season 2. I see you've gotten moving again @hollyman, way to go
same as you bud hehe although im start to thinking about P, but for the sake of team 2 i shall hold it
