The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Day 22!
Good luck Fellowship
Take care and breathe

 

Dawn of the 68th day.

 

Day 457 no PMO. Lots of stress in my life right now but no urges for PMO as of yet.

 

Beginning of Day 2...

Already did all my routines (yesterday too - so it went rly good so far)

Battles Won against PMO: 2 (right now the thougths came - "how would it be..if only short." NO dont let em!



Routines Done (have started a "book" where I wrote/write it all down frequently - some kind of self mastery creative book):

5min Meditation
2min cold shower
1min hand stand
2 min self love
2 min gratitude
3min reasons and/to belief
3min emotional self-talk

(pretty much but its worth it -you dont need to do it very long - only need to do it daily!)

Stay strong and great wishes out to you all !!

 

Day zero

@Gallade_Templar it’s truly freaking me out a little bit every time it happens. A complete stranger on the internet writes down his experience and emotions and I 100% know how it feels. This doesn't even happen to me with people I’m close to in real life. I’m sorry you’ve fallen. But even 4 days is great if you’ve spent that time getting better.

Unfortunately I feel completely hollow. My only win for today is that I still came here to write and be accountable to all of you. I binged like crazy and spent about 5 hours on porn this morning.

 

Checking in as an orc.

 

Hi @Gallade_Templar

yeah so I’m no expert lol but my longest streaks came when I did these things:
Good sleep routine. No electronics in the bedroom. Read a book before bed instead of being on the phone.

Studying how to reboot by staying active on this forum and other threads like soaring eagle: rebooting is the best remedy. Watch nofap videos from Scandinavian Bob and pinnacle of man.

Set small achievable goals and work on them. To build self-esteem and as a ready to go action to counteract urges.

Meditation and journaling. And using a spreadsheet calendar to track when I relapse and when I stay clean.

Self care, get enough rest, exercise, water, good food. And I am Catholic so praying with the Rosary.

Observing urges and allowing myself to see where the thought originated, then redirecting it back to my goals.

Now if I could follow my own advice that would be something

 

Checking in day 193.Had another good cold shower today.

 

Day 0 is done and Day 1 starts now.

 

Day 293

Glad that you're doing cold showers bro!

 

Day 1 complete! I grab my armor and fall in with the ranks of the Orcs.

@newbobido Doing one thing right is better than doing zero things right! Thanks for staying accountable.

@LuckyMan I'm Catholic as well, so the Rosary is a big part of my prayer life. I appreciate your advice. Keeping a calendar to track my falls is one thing I've never tried, but I know many guys do it. Is there anything in particular that it helps?

Tempted to revisit the same things I looked at yesterday, but I held it together. Usually I can handle the urges that appear within the first few days after a reset.

St. Catherine of Bologna, pray for us!

 

Check in day 240
