    Day 3, the first two days have always been tough for me, but now they are behind me. The spell of porn is still strong in me because I wanted to peek on something today, but fortunately I changed my mind :emoji_muscle:

    I agree with @garmenclyde and to add to this if I may. I think you shouldn't be so hard on yourself man. I know this sucks and it really does. You don't want this to happen again. But as with this challenge, I believe it's about the journey in a way.

    I can only speak for myself, so please forgive me. But as you know I mess up all the time and I hate it. I wish I could just tell my body what to do and it just does it. But that's not how addiction works, maybe for some people (and more power to them) but for me, this is a grind. However, I'm in for the long haul. I am determined to get over this no matter how many times I fail in the meantime. And surprisingly, each time I fail I learn more about myself and my addiction and I believe I improve just the tiniest bit. This is why I always try and say "mess up" instead of using "fail" (except for this post haha). Because I must believe that trying and continuing to try is a success! So long as I never give up, I will succeed eventually. Therefore, it's already mine.

    I worry about you giving yourself an ultimatum. Which you seem close to doing. If you happen to mess up you might believe that you're just destined to be addicted. That you can never get over this, and that is far from the truth. You can beat this, you can rise up and get past this. You may or may not be an elf on that plane. But you can and will beat this man. If you just keep going.

    I believe in you brother.

    Day 0,
    After 7 days I failed again.
    I learned that just 1 thought on sex, can make me fail.
    How do you, make that you don't think about sex, and if these thoughts came to your mind, how do you fight them?

    Ps.: Thank you a lot for the previous reply, I read them all, thank you <3

    Murder

    This fitness model I dated past weekend texted me yesterday to meet up again I told her I'll give her a "massage" she agreed to meet up in a motel.

    She just texted me telling me she can't make it, one of her staff members, her father owns three gyms, a trainer was murdered outside the gym. So she needs to do something at the gym.

    She hasn't told me, but I believed the trainer was screwing around with a married girl at the gym that's why he was murdered.

    I don't feel like having sex today, so I told her to meet some other day, I used the excuse of she having to deal with that problem to not see her. We'll probably have to see each other at night today and I prefer sleeping early than having sex.

    Had a lot of stuff today that triggered me in the past,nothing happened today.It's the unwavering attitude towards temptations that carries us through unscathed, we can't decide now and later question our own decision when the temptations comes along-it's an enemy which has to be killed on the spot without hesitation, without delay, without negotiations and bargaining.Be a bit like spartans-no retreat, no surrender and no prisoners when it comes to dealing with temptations and triggers.

    Day 8 completed, I’m an Uruk once more!
     
  17. Preparing for sleeping. I need to keep all devices away from my bed and separate clearly sleeping and daily activities, I think one calls it sleephygiene.

    Also I neef to make sure that I stay active during the day. Planning for sport, work, meditation and everything else.

    Transmuting sexual energy should also help me, as long as I stick to it. Of course some of my time and energy will only go into recovery, prevention and accountability.

    I hope I can conply witj these statements. But I feel in a good condition so let’s rock!

    Day 22... As far as I'm aware this is my record. It might not be as even decades ago I was attempting nofap long before this community, but since becoming aware of the community and using the day counter I'm pretty sure it is.

    I think energy drinks are going to be an issue for me, so I'll have to stop buying them. I got two on sale a few days ago (I almost never drink them) and had the second this morning to help me stay awake. It kept me awake, but made me feel kinda sick and my urges are once again higher after having it. I better just accept that there's a correlation and stay away from those things. I don't wanna throw this streak away being careless.
