    Okay, so yesterday was a total 100% disaster of a day and on some level I’m glad that I failed when it’s “only” the starting point because it was just way too much.

    I had a combo of impossible situations including getting rejected in a job interview, a root canal pain that I’m still waiting for the treatment, a fight with my girlfriend, and two days ago I had a long and very hard talk with my father about his war induced PTSD and that he refuse to go into therapy and instead just plan on being in a depression state until he die all while he was dumping horror stories on me.

    All of that made me unable to do basically anything, so I haven’t meditated or ate well or any other good thing. Just binge watched porn and lay on the bad not doing anything.

    So I’m starting over.

    I’ll find a job one day, and today I’ll keep on sending CV’s.

    I’ve talked to my girlfriend, and we’ve worked things about for the better right now. The fight was mostly because of the fact that when I’m too stressed out I tend to shut down. So that’s just a thing I should work on.

    It’s super hard but I’m not going to let my father make me his shrink because that would not help him and only give me nightmares.

    And my tooth still hurt, but that’s just life.

    23 days. Working during the day and socialising during the evening. No exercise, and ate quite unhealthy. On the flip side, pretty much no urges during the day, so all is good on my part.

    Tonight, I will go away with some friends to the countryside, to celebrate a big holiday in my country over the weekend. I will not bring my laptop but I'll try to check in here on the phone, if everything works. :)

    Feeling motivated.
    Even though I have vacation, I am still setting my alarm clock to avoid getting out of bed late. This way I have lots of time to have a productive day and plan things that I want to do.
    Today I am going to change my social media usage. I am going to make an account that is entirely based on NoFap so that I only come across things that I care about and not waste my time on useless Instagram posts. If it doesn't have the effect I am looking for, I am going to delete the account.
    I have also been busy listening to podcasts and watching videos about the NoFap journey of others and controlling your sexual energy.
    It has been very motivating and interesting already.
    Feel free to let me know some Youtubers/podcasts that you watch or listen that talk about NoFap topics.

    Have a great day everyone!
    Much love.

    Day 122 no PMO. I was on here yesterday morning. Read and liked all your posts and then forgot to check in myself. Had a tough day yesterday but was able to stay calm for the most part and stay away from any temptation. Have a great day!

    I guess, the only way you can let your father be useful, is to allow him to try to help you find a job... Call it a bonding exercise and a way for old people to understand new generations.

    Day 10! I think I'm starting to better understand the structure of the angels and I'm seeing how rare I go towards their presence.

    Every time we indulge in PMO it distorts our consciousness perception of the whole picture of the situation we are in. It can be compared to the stirred mud in the water. When we stay clear our consciousness clears itself with full realization of where we are at and what we should do. The rate of clearance is different for everybody and apparently directly proportionate to the lifestyle we lead, healthy and beneficial accelerates it, while unhealthy and lacking self-respect slows it down. Or in the words of an ancient sage:
    “Do you have the patience to wait
    Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
    Can you remain unmoving
    Till the right action arises by itself?”

    Daily checking in
    I have it a great stress , but i could control the situation.
    I want to say "i am not going to fall on pmo cause the stress anymore" , but i guess i can confirm that when i reach the 100 days.

    I am not fishing at all, compared with the others months, so i am making a progress in that part.

    Here is a video

    i totally understand you brother. what´s the point, right?

    once i had that mindset also, and made me wake up was: "life sucks. but if i were to face a difficult situation, how would it be best? with a sharp witty mind or feeling like a damn zombie?"

    so in a practical term, it´s always best for us to be our best version. and in a personal term, it feels much better to have energy and a clear mind instead of that awful dead like state that we all know well ;).

    i hope this helps :)

    As the day progressed and my time was squandered I found myself considering an escort, thankfully some friends are going out tonight so I will join them as staying home will do me no good. I also have a theory which I'm interested in testing which I kept forgetting as the urges and ill thoughts we're trying to take hold of my mind.
