Day 1/3 Was a success. I did have some urges and some random sexual thoughts (Not gonna talk about them dont wanna trigger anybody) But I managed to get through them by realizing what a degen I was being (lol) talking myself out of it, and writing my sexual thoughts down on a notebook and then throwing them in a trashcan. I recommend people do the same, it seems that when I write it down on a piece of paper I separate it from my mind, and throwing the paper in a trash can is symbolic to my commitment. Kinda gay but it works. Good luck bros. Day 2 will go by without a hitch.
DAY 2! Today I started reading this book: Havard Mela - How to thrive in the 21st century Can only recommend. I want to share this powerful part: "A person's outcomes in life are largely dependent on their ability to delay short-term gratification. A part of your day is going to be painful no matter what. The sooner you accept this the better. If you are willing to delay gratification and “eat broken glass day after day”, you will get better outcomes than someone who always listens to their short-term emotions.People who always take the easy way out accept having lower income, lower net worth, and less cool experiences by doing so. You will have more chances to feel well overall if you manage to care less about your emotions right now." Mela, Havard. How to Thrive in the 21st Century: By Avoiding Porn and Other Distractions (p. 20). Kindle Edition. I also realized how massive diff is when I have netflix subscription. Now I dont have it. I dont watch any series and suddenly I have time to read, to think, to be more present, to be productive. I also didnt watch any instagram stuff for quite some time. I need to take the same hard-core road towards prone masturbation. Seems like I still deep down think that when I dont use porn while masturbating, I am going to be fine. I think its a lie. Going to read some stuff about prone masturbation and what it does to realize I need to stop doing it 3times/week. At least this is small step forward. Not doing it daily anymore.
You are doing awesome work man ... I am seeing you From long time ..... You are on right track and I hope you will be out of this loop soon..... Never give brother , Take what you deserve to be...
@Monster@123 thx man, same goes to you. Its time to see each other in the 7days step challenge.Lets go!
@Eagel344 we can do this. Let’s go! I slacked off nofap for a month and relapsed badly. Now I hope to spend time almost daily on nofap. I plan to use accountability to win this fight. I read today that that is the biggest weapon against pm.
well, shit. Day 0/3. I cannot believe myself. So earlier in the day I had a naughty thought, I googled it and I peeked. It was only for about 10 seconds. I considered that a relapse, but I was still proud that I had controlled myself to not spiral down any further. This was at 2pm. Ffw to now, I just relapsed completely. I didnt follow my own advice. It is kinda funny the way I relapsed though, you know, there's this thing I like to do at the end of the day called "Reset ritual" and in that reset ritual I apply the "metascript method" (This is all jargon from a nofap youtuber called Mark Queppet, check him out, he was the one that made me start nofap), and what the metascript method is, well, when you fail your goal you revise on it, identify what happened, why did you fail, how to avoid that next time and how to think next time. The whole point of it is to sort of "reset" yourself and remind yourself of your goals and why youre doing them. While I was writing it, in my reason to fail I wrote a trigger word. That turned my coomer mode on a little and I started paying a bit too much attention to the thought that sprung from that word. Instead of just dismissing the thought I started thinking to myself "What if I did it? What would it be like?" rationalizations like that. I basically started bargaining with myself so I could peek again. Nevertheless, my coomer brain won. I ended up peeking and, consequentially, nutting. Its no big deal though, next time Ill just recognize this faulty thinking and I wont dwell on the thought. Sorry to disappoint dudes, but Ill be right back up to speed with you guys. Remember to recognize faulty rationalizations and to keep on going.
Hello again... Day 0/3. I'm really tired of this. I just can't stop. I really want to be PMO-free once and for all.
