That feeling is all too familiar. Try not to dwell on it and just let it pass. You've got this, you can do it.
I didn't set out on the SR path but started to read about and watched videos about the benefits of it and I was sold. The changes they outlined were EXACTLY what I needed. I'm here to tell you choosing SR has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Staying companion free is now my choice instead of what I once thought of as my plight. Big mental shift!!!
Checking in again today. I've been listening to this urge-surfing meditation and it's been really helpful for me. Thank you all for being here today.
Very tempting, indeed! At one point, I was seeking the attention of women. Now, I'm trying to avoid it...lol
Checking in - been going through some stuff with a lady friend at work. I feel like she's been playing games with me and I've been using that as an excuse for multiple relapses for the last week or so. I really need to pull myself together somehow and get back on track.
@Steveal3aneef1 - Congrats on your 60 days as of yesterday! You have received the 60 Day Heavy Lifter Award!
Checking in and going strong...hit the 30 day mark! Now aiming for 60 days...one step and day at a time
I hear you. I will keep track of SR separately from the nofap counter. I don't want a reset counter from partner o to be excuse to let myself fall back into p and m. "Counter is at 0 anyways..." It is more of a lofty goal and less of something I feel I need to eliminate, like p and m. But would like to go on some longer SR streaks when possible. My partner has a low drive so in some ways, it is fairly easy for me. It's really helped to shift my mindset from something I wanted more of and was not getting to a goal of going without for long periods of time and I'm ok with it. It also makes when we do get together more like something we both agree on than throwing the old dog a bone
In need some motivation, finding it tough getting through to 48hrs right now. Get home from work, eat and shower then it starts. I need to keep strong, stay strong everyone!
