    That could have helped. What really did it was being confused what counted as masturbation. I had a small incident that I wasn't sure if counted as simply touching or light masturbation or what... I wasn't even hard. It was certainly nothing even in the same universe as your standard PMO kinda relapse, and I'm still not sure if it would have counted. I got hit extremely hard by thoughts like "well you blew it, you might as well just be sure it's a relapse!" which I think was my addicted brain creeping up again looking for an excuse. It was strange, I got thrown into a very odd headspace and wasn't thinking right.

    Day 2 - Orc

    I got a library card! I picked up some longer fantasy books (The Name of the Wind, The Way of Kings, Dragonriders of Pern). Should be a good source of non digital media to keep me occupied while not doing PMO or YouTube. Cravings were less last night. I’m reminding myself that this is for younger me, he needs me to be strong, and that helps me keep my head straight. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Sorry to hear about the interview. Congrats on 4 days! I don’t mean to pry, but is this depression new, or something that’s been around for a while? It might be worth it to consider seeing a therapist. As someone recovering from long term depression, I get a bit triggered when I see someone saying that “sadness” is the true state of the world. It might be temporary and I have no idea what you’re life is like. I just know that quitting an addiction while severely depressed will be much harder than if you were at a normal mood/energy level.

    yep, that´s seem like a good old addiction excuse to me :D.

    in the future, for similar events, when you´re in doubt, ask yourself this: "is it fair to reset the counter?" and follow the answer.

    Checking in Fellowship!! :)

    Slipped again last night. i think i wasn´t really ready to start a new streak. even thought we´re always in a recovery journey, it seems everytime that i start a new streak, i need a warriors scream to wake the fuck up.

    [​IMG]

    I´ve done it, so now i´m ready brothers! Let´s do this :emoji_muscle:


    @Talz brother, i´ve notice that you also slipped when reached 90 days.

    the list of incidents on special marks goes on and on, so it seems clear by now, that personal milestones creates an additional pressure to rebooters.

    so, i suggest everyone to take a look at their streak, and notice when an important milestone appears in the horizont. expect extra pressure by then, be prepared and plan a proper celebration when the mark is achieved. that will also help decompress ;).

    My important milestones are:

    15 days (hobbit)
    70 days - when i feel that i have a big streak (ego trap)
    90 days - a classic milestone
    150 days - a milestone of recovery in dopamine receptors
    365 days - 1 year
    500 days - end of the LOTR challenge - Destruction of the ring
    730 days - 2 years. A sure mark that the reboot has been acomplished by now. This mark will surely not lead to a slip but it definitely deserves to be celebrated :D

    Checking out brave Fellowship!!!

    Let´s do this.
