    Day 23

    After I saw a post that says to rethink what you define as what you really have to do. I am wondering whether I am really doing the things I want to do or are they leading my to the fulfilment of my true values. I don’t have time to think about these things lately (I waste a lot of time because I feel too tired). All good with nofap, my friend might have saved me yesterday :)

  11. day 24

    hello Fellowship. my father had a headache yesterday so we didn't go gun shooting at the range like we had planned. maybe another time. tomorrow I reach Weathertop in this journey, there is no saying when the Ringwraiths will descend on me.

    no urges or even any threatening thoughts going through my mind at the moment. as you can probably tell from my username, I am an Eminem fan. I was listening to a song he put out six months ago called Last One Standing, which is the main song for the movie Venom: Let There Be Carnage. more than even his rap, I was listening to Skylar Grey's hook and bridge and I think this sums up our struggle pretty succinctly:



    these are the song lyrics.

    when she sings "all of the monsters I had to fight and all of the nightmares made me stronger than life!", I felt that. she and Eminem came from nothing to make something of themselves in music. Skylar actually wrote the chorus Rihanna sings in Eminem's Love The Way You Lie song.

    hope you're all doing splendidly. keep up the good fight.

    Day 20 complete

    Hobbit

    I hope today is a good day. No urges yesterday. I’ve realized that although just M is dangerous, the biggest danger for me is my mind’s desire to view P videos. 99.999% of all my relapses involved the use of the P drug

    then you´re heading for failure. bro, perfection is an ally of the addiction. black and white thinking is one of the components of an addicts thinking pattern. in fact is that type of absolute thinking that keeps addicts stuck in toxic shame.

    you have a glimpse of porn because someone send you a disguised video. So what? did you search for the video? did you watch it till the end? did you masturbate? No!

    So, even if you were driven by curiosity, that´s a slip, a couple of seconds of drifting, nothing more. That reset of yours will do you no good.

    But since you already made your decision, at least, reflect upon it for the future. Having the bar too high is not good, and in fact, shows that you can´t handle failures. The reboot process is made of up´s and down´s, it´s not a straight line going up.

    Forget about clean streaks. Handling failures in a positive way is crucial for sucess. I hope this helps :)

    Checking in Fellowship!! :)

    89 days, one more to the big 90 :)

    A bit of withdrawal today, fatigue, and some brain fog, but very light. Doing all my work, wether telework, wether housework, and i´m feeling good about it :)

    Nothing more to add my friends. Have a great day!! :)

    Day 1 as an ORC
    Avoided the pit twice today.
    I wasn't even horny. I've been feeling depressed since my last good streak and i think i cope by looking for porn even when i'm not interested in getting aroused. i guess that's why this whole no PMO think is important eh?

    Day 2 completed

    Started the day with cold shower and meditation again and it worked a treat.

    Had an exam this morning which went TERRIBLY but it seems everyone else on my course felt the same way, so hopefully it works out.

    Felt a lot of guilt over my recent relapse today and I'm dealing with a lot of difficult emotions at the moment, and the way ahead is hard to see. But I just have to keep going on and I trust that things will become clearer with time.

    Down from the door where it began."
