The 2021 Green Day Challenge [OPEN]

@Ian Of Freelandia - thanks for the kind words. Yesterday I was able to divert long enough to find two projects that fully occupied me until bedtime. Today instead of stress I feel great despair. Like many on their nofap journey here I have issues with the wife and of course like everyone in the world today, the COVID cloud. Just trying to hang on. No excuses. Stay strong.

 

thanks to the members that reached out to me directly - this shows what a great community this is and how beneficial it can be when we are not doing well. I'm grateful for this place.

 

Despite having some recent relapses i feel it has released a lot of tension, now i'm more ready to go on and took some actions to prevent future triggers. Last year i've already deleted the porn content from my pc and a whole collection of triggering images, now i've deleted this porn backup from the external hard drive. Some day when the urges rise a part of me will be hurt for erasing a "rare and sexy material that is no longer on the internet", but this gotta be good for my health and growth. I'm also testing the blocker Qustodio, to make it harder for eventual slips in porn and other specific sites.

 

Qustodio works fine for this forum, i've only blocked the porn category and some specific sites, i've allowed adult content, guns, drugs, etc, but maybe the configs depends on the goals and triggers for each person. Haven't tested on the phone but it must be possible

 

Good luvk everyone. Im in the same place as you Brohken, 2 reds 1 amber out of 13 days. My next goal: make the next 13 days better.

Last night was a massive struggle, which reminded me of a valuable lesson: no matter how bad the urges, they will pass. Whether i give in to them or not. They dont keep building until relapse.

A long weekend alone coming up, Fri through Sun. Actually with the baby,but he sleeps a lot but keeps me busy when he is awake. So i need to prepare myself for some challenging times.

 

I made it through the first 15 days of 2021 without any mess. However, after 14 days of semen retention I made love to the wife and those post release urges come back. Its been awhile since I had the chaser effect so I'm worried about what's to come.

 

Hello All,

I think I am on 7 days. Not as straightforward as last time, I'm working out a "middle way" for managing my obsessive compulsive collecting of images that are sent to me by my friend.

I have generated a private and public key pair, I will store the private key away from me (I printed and laminated it), and keep the public key. Any archives he sent me, I will not look at them, but immediately encrypt with my public key and delete the original.

I am aiming to go NoFap until August at the least. That is the plan. I have so much obsessional tendencies it's unreal.

I hope everyone is managing themselves and this stuff better than I am!

 

I didn't make it through the night. So I had my first red day of 2021. I thought last year was tricky but the start of 2021 has me even more lost about what to do.

 

Finally made 5 straight days this year, i've told once that i'm thinking about blocks of five days now and not on long streaks, and this time i'll try to tell a little bit here every cycle like this. Lately i'm very anxious due to crisis in current relationships and solving conflict about old ones. Despite this the urges are down and the site blockers are helping a lot

 

Dear oh dear, I'm not doing well at all. Sorry everyone. Eating like a fat pig as well

Going to try and get a reasonable streak starting today.
