I’ve got an accountability partner starting from today … but I’m trying anything and everything, anyone want to start a 30 day challenge. if I don’t stop this habbit it will consume me completely, I don’t know if this challenge will work , I’ll need serious encouragement but a supportive firm word is powerful
I also want to do the 1 mo challenge. From 2018 onwards, i am dying to see the day 30 but still 24 is my highest. Now i am on day 10/30.
I am also willing to be free, after a 16 day streak of no pmo,it's 6 day of pmo now.I am going to to anything for getting better
welcome @you_can_UK can of course there are 1 day, 3, days,7 days, 14 days, 30 days etc etc. challenges here: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?forums/events-challenges.132/ I've tried those and made it to 94 days once, but this more personal approach works better for me. Let's go all. How are you doing? My brain feels fried!
I am doing good from outside but not doing good from inside.The addiction to porn and masturbation hollowed me in.But it is not a thing which can hollow my spirit.I don't give up, never.Porn is nothing compared to my purpose. How's your life going @Bobske ?How's your family and everyone?All fine?Feel free to share openly anything you feel is unheard in your life.I have a responsive ear.
Yes peeps, apologies for my late response. I don't want to waffle on too much as Ive already mentioned this in another thread. Basically I got rid of my I phone. For some reason my desires don't really over come me when theres no smart phone involved. The convenience that using a smart phone facilitates has had such an effect on me that porn and smart phones have become interlinked. For example I type this now while my wife is in bed, having internet access and being on my own in the living room infront of my Mac..yet im chilling with no inclination... but give me a smart phone and I won't even fight it, the trigger is so hostile and abrupt that Ill quickly get the cream, turn the light off and crack on...so yeh I haven't been as active on here because I have no smart phone......I know this might not what people want but if you need an AP and you need somone to actually call you and speak to you I am happy to do that but I have no apps like WhatsApp etc
Thanks for asking. The same to you. Sometimes is is easier to talk to a stranger. I'm doing fine besides my PMO addiction. My family is also fine. Except for my stepfather having Alzheimer, which is tough. But my mom is very so sweet and caring which I never thought to see. Feeling tired now because of Hayfever, just having recovered from COVID and leaving this addcition behind. How are you doing, in general an specifically?
Very well done! Phone's are built around addiction. Using mine less and less. Hope things are going well. Be mindfull of other triggers, but I hope doing away the phone helps a lot for you. You can talk here or through personal message, whatever you want. I'm not on the computer every day. It is also feeding addcition. YouTube, Facebook, Games etc etc. I try to do screenless weekends and computerless/phoneless evenings (and very little tv only with my GF) Good luck
Goedmorgen Bobske! PMO and then wasting time on youtube is messing me up.Nice to hear everyone is fine there.I don't know how much time does Alzheimer take to heal, but I know it's emotionally sad for family members.Hope he will be fine soon. Thank God you are better now.I also got COVID in 2021 April.And things were scary then. As far as how am I doing, not good.I am not concentrating on my upcoming exam preparation.It is a difficult one but I am now and then stuck in chaser effect and then waste time on random youtube stuff.huh! I am very scared as I score poorly in mock tests.Even today, I pmoed once.Brainfog and untrust on myself, low confidence.
I just tried streaks before and broke several times, so here I also want to start a new streak with accountability partners.
Nice, the Dutch Goedmorgen =), thanks Unfortunately Alzheimer only gets worse. These last two years I have seen a normal 73 year old man turn into a small child at 75. The curse of us all getting that old. Keep it up, you now see the bad effects PMO has on you. Be stonger now and you will become stronger. Youtube, social media, phone browsing it all had the same effect as PMO, giving you dopamine for very little effort. So when you have to do a lot of effort, like study for an exam, you brain is too lazy because of the high and easy doses of dopamine. Keep at it, keep studying. You will get better. And failing an exam is not the end of the world. Failing to quit PMO is the end of your life, I'm just starting to realisze how muh time I have wasted. Good luck. You have the power.
Sorry to hear his Alzheimer have no cure.I have never seen someone with this in real life.But they show it on screen.Sending prayers and love to heal you all.Stay happy and if it's you in the avatar- you are a handsome man. Todau is my 100th day on this site, but day 1 of streak.What are your hobbies btw?
I'll just join as well buddies. Currently on my first day of the streak. Aiming to cross 30, never done it before.
