Since last time I have bypassed my blockers/restrictions many times. But I think I'm already doing slightly better.
I have also found good restrictions for my phone, by the way.

I want to be more strict and mindful.

 

Very good! I should do this as well.

Also I like

What exactly do you define "private" for yourself?

 

2/30 - no screens after 9:30 pm
14/14 - no alcohol
14/14 - 100 x (situps, push-ups, squats)
14/14 - some pull-ups
14/14 - no added sugar

Finally completed all the other challenges! Now I can safely say doing the same kind of exercises everyday is really not my cup of tea

 

No it makes totally sense to me, because a challenge on an anonymous forum on the internet is not necessarily demanding ones full attention or dedication. It's like a game, it's fun to play, but one might easily forget it during the day to day life. Moreover there are no real consequences if one messes up.

 

In the last few days I thought a lot about what would help me. I need to do it! I don't want to focus only on porn anymore and put up some rules for less media and stuff. I need to shift my focus completely. Addiction is so much about time and attention!

Make a shift, allow yourself to do everything differently. Focus on the things that are important right now in your life. Let go EVERYTHING else. You don't need to check the news, check the forum. No bad entertainment, no good entertainment. Stop looking for something. Don't get back to old movies, don't start to educate yourself online or switch to fine arts.

The good thing is, that there's plenty to fill my time with. I don't need to be a zen monk and look onto a wall all day. This is not like a dry fast. There are just things that need my attention. I need to free myself and then I can simply shift my attention. Of course it will not always feel good. But I can do it!
And I'll be back to report

 

4/30.

I forgot to update yesterday, which is a good sign that things are going in the right direction.

 

5/30.

It feels easy at the moment but the times when I have relapsed in the past have strangely been when it has felt easy. I don’t want to do the same mistake again, so it’s important this time that I learn from the past and don’t forget what has happened before.

 

6/30, time flies.

 

7/30

 

8/30

 

9/30!

Total streak is now 29 days.

 

10/30

 

11/30

 

12/30 - no screen challenge
0/7 - no caffeine

 

I decide to turn my screens off by 9pm as I go to bed at 9:30. Eventually I plan to turn them off by 8pm but it's a start. I will not check in every day, however I will keep tabs everyday in my notes app and report here once a week. Let's do this

 

13/30 - no screen challenge
1/7 - no caffeine
