Day 17 I feel completely overwhelmed and overall shitty.Was very close to relapsing today.But i am still fighting.
you´ll be fine brother . just focus on this day and follow your strategy. We´re with you!! Meanwhile, congratulations mighty Strider and welcome to the hill of Amon Hen. Here comes PMO
stay away from dangerous situations brother. urges are nothing but energy in the body, they only take over when the circunstances + fantasies become dominant. control the circunstances and don´t feed sexual thoughts, it´s very important. engage in different activities and you´ll be fine Meanwhile congratulations!!! Your journey has started . Good luck my brother!!!!
excellent sis, you know the drill, just focus on today . no promises, no expectations, just focus on the "now", for every now has enough pain, temptations and difficult circunstances for you to handle. one day at a time strategize, anticipate, focus!!
My brother!!! All hail the King of Rohan!!!!! Congratulations brother!!! . You reach Henneth Annûn, the refuge of the Ithilien Rangers. Keep going!!!!!
Checking in today. Day 68. Still paddeling down the river crossing the Gates of Argonath while taking puffs of my pipe while stroking my beard. (At least it's ma beard instead of the other thing)
One more day brave Fellowship Let´s welcome the new members of the Companion: @goldchain @the_Raged_Barbarian The following members have upgraded and reach places in Middle Earth. Congratulations!!! @Ashen One - Warrior / Amon Hen @LuckyMan - Emyn Muil / Rohan @Onan the Barbarian - Hobbit / Hobbiton (now on the journey to destroy the ring. Good luck bro!!! dodge those urges @liona - Weathertop / Eriador @Fighter_4_life - Uruk-Hai @archie.hill - King / Henneth Annûn A huge positive force for our brothers @Taran7 and @Cyanea that are facing a hard time now. Courage my brothers, you can do it. We´re with you!!!! A sign of confident to our wary brother @Gallade_Templar about nofap. yes, my brother, your life will be so much better without pmo. but it´s important that you believe that you can be permanently free from porn and masturbation, because has time passes on, you´ll step into uncharted territory and the addict mind will try to lure you into the "old ways". The rupture from any addiction always envolves a leap of faith. Believe with all your heart that you can be free brother, and half the work is done. Have a great day mighty Fellowship!!! Onward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys I fell again. I'm sorry. I'm back on the horse now. Silver lining is I resisted urges to do it again this morning. I slipped and fell, but it doesn't take away the fruits of 15 days of abstinence. I refuse to use my reset/relapse as an excuse to binge. Ugh, I hate this. I haven't been quite right since I got broke up with over a year ago and then covid came along to disrupt even more of my life. Excuses, excuses. There's only one way forward.
Day 9, Its harder and harder to not reinforce sex fantasies and porn flashbacks, especially when i am lying in bed trying to sleep. I hope it gets better soon.
@LivingCreature I get those too, just before I fall asleep out of nowhere come memories or flashbacks. I think it is a normal mechanism, a bit of dopamine released to help you sleep? Not sure. Anyways, I just try and redirect my mind to remember what good things I accomplished that day like "I worked out" or "I worked on my goal". That way I get the positive feelings and don't fall down the rabbithole.
