The Lord of the Rings Challenge

I had that theory too the urges comes stronges in the day 7 , 35, 62, 69 now i think it is true, all right this happen, but you learn something new about the urges, "they atack strongly on day 7" so next time you will be more prepared for that day, add something more to your strategy it works if you came to day 7!.
Now your dopamine levels are high , you could do deep breathing and cold shower if is possible of course, to reduce this levels.
I won't quit that easily. That is!

 

Day 368.

 

Day 4 of No PMO and counting.

 

Thanks, bro! I'll also reduce my dopamine-plesurable activities for the nex few days, such as coffee, music and sugar intake.

 

Day 328.

 

285 days

 

Checking in. Looking forward to a fun weekend. Be well everyone.

 

BIB- It really is A great metaphor and also inspires some great conversations about TLOTR

 

Incredible

 

Day 1 complete!

I think I'll keep the porn blockers for now. RisetoGreatness makes a good point that I need to keep my fishing under control, otherwise without the blockers I may just dive straight into porn. But I need to make a very strong effort to be less reliant on the blockers overall.

Day 33

 

Day 33 check-in (Attempt 4) - The Elven town of Rivendell

 

I'd say to get rid of them. Those blockers aren't helping you because of two reasons: one, you're putting most of the responsibility of not PMOing on those blockers rather than developing your self-discipline and ability to resist urges and two, you're staving off PMO rather than quitting. It means you're just treating PMO subconsciously as a reward to get if you manage to get past those blockers; the blockers being the obstacle, when no-porn should be the reward, NOT the obstacle.

There's a reason why every single person in this forum over 100 days and above don't use blockers. It's because we've learned how to resist and get past urges by ourselves rather than using a crutch.

 

Checking in on Day 146.

 

I am a Hobbit Now!

290 beyond the stairs of Cirith Ungol
365 days no PMO, semen retention

 

day 6
I saw a thread what expose how the P industry hurts the women's and men , another reason to quit permanently the P.
Urges killed: 7

 

Day 6. No longer an orc. Uruk-hai now. Feeling good. Was out golfing last night. Things are different. Seeing women who dress who leave little to the imagination is different. So beautiful and it didn’t make me feel the need to stare or to go home and pmo. When I was trying to sleep last night I had p images flashing through my head but I felt no need to go online and start my ritual. I was feeling the want for touch and closeness with someone. That’s def. different. It all feels different. I feel different all the time. Something is happening. Must keep up all my healthy habits I have chosen. Have a good day fellowship.

 

That is a good sign , lets go!

 

Heck yes. Let’s go! Thank you for the encouragement.
