    It's ok to be horny. But that doesn't mean I should overstimulate my brain with easily accessible, varied and far too intense internet pornography.

    30 days hardmode, I didn't think I could made it.

  3. 58 days,

    This week I've exercised 5 times, I have not done so much training in years. I've started calisthenics, and the idea is to train ~30 min. 5 times a week,
    instead of training 3 times a week for ~1 h.

    I sometimes have strong urges, but my reboot is quite solid, and I determine to never return to this unhealthy habbit

    Also I'm practicing the dopamine detox as additional challenge to NoFAP, and guys, I really recommend, I cut off the Youtube/videogames/movies/music and
    1. I feel much more happier, I'm start to enjoying little things, like petting my dog, or go for a walk, or I even started enjoying training, before for me it was like "I must train because it's healthy" not because I was enjoying it, but now it totally different.
    2. Much more free time, since I've stopped watching porn and stop watching youtube/play videogames/etc. I have some much free time during the day, that I don't know what else to add, maybe I will take a new hobby, or the second job idk. :) (What do you recommend?)

    Also I'd like to say thank you to all of you, it's much easier to fight this addiction together:emoji_heart:

    Checking in Fellowship Friends!

    26 Days Free of PMO.

    Feeling good again today, I really owe a lot to the Wim Hof breathing method for tackling some of the anxiety I would feel, that alongside meditation has been a powerful ally. I highly recommend both, I've been meditating for a long time, Wim Hof , however, is new for the last month or so.

    Today will be an extremely hot day where I am, over 40 Celsius. My aim is to get my workout and exposure out of the way before it gets out of a healthy range with the heat.

    I am so happy to read so many reports of the brothers in our group moving forward. You are all inspiring.

    Stay Strong!



    @RiseToGreatness Glad to hear the stretches helped! Well done on taking the first run brother and even if you recognize being out of shape, it's all good. You've taken the first step by going ! Go at your pace and keep the momentum my brother.

    @PeaceOnEarth108 Congratulations on your 1 month milestone!

    @Kratos_GOW I read your post and I agree with you. Stoicism is key in developing mental fortitude. When I fell off the wagon after over a year of freedom, I had stopped this practice amongst others. I was complacent. Do not allow yourself to become complacent in the practices that have assisted to move you forward in life. Complacency sets up the opportunity for a powerful trigger, typically through emotion, to render you off balance. Complacency is the biggest "threat" to a long streak. Keep paving your path friend.

    @SSS Vision Sounds like a great hike!

    sry for no check out yesterday/no check-in today (Im at day 6 now)

    Was visiting the girl yesterday stayed overnight - again a lot of cuddlin and then : our first kisses- she didnt want me to sleep lol... I guess Im in Love (though I thought that wouldnt be possible lately) Its so beautiful and a bit fearsome at the same time^^

    [Why do I write that? Because since Im doin' more and more with this girl I have less and less motivation engagin into PMO - we need to replace it with real love and "lovin/selflovin' acitivities]

    Had to go to work early today so check-in wasnt possible...

    But I feel quite happy now:)
    Wish you all a great Day^^

    day 9

    I survived yesterday.

    I encountered a few triggers this am, but I'm letting them go and will not act on them.

    24 days no PMO. Going well. Up at work camp. The only access I have to p is on my iPad and iPhone that I have covenant eyes on. Here for another 12 days. Life is good. Was saying I hated it up here already yesterday. I am past that. This job should be good. Was just working with a guy in the morning who gets really stressed. Those people are so hard to work with. Was only with him until I wrote that. I am happy now. Steady work for 2 years for me. Nice.

    was watching a video last night that talked about benefits after 30 days. I am excited to get there. I am already seeing huge benefits. I am loving this lack of social anxiety. Man alive.

    yeah, this is the key bro. everytime that you want porn, ask yourself this, and your true desire will surface. then try to attend to it in proper ways :).

    Keep going! You´re doing great :emoji_muscle:

    yeah, it seems you have plenty of dopamine to spare. Great! :) but it´s wiser to invest in a new goal or hobby. a second job can push you a bit too much, as this will naturally brings new responsabilities and chores.

    Go for a new goal brother. Choose the one that flames you the most :emoji_fire::emoji_fire::emoji_fire:. We´re with you!!!

    Checking in Fellowship!!

    30 days hardmode! Going good! yes, the withdrawal is merciless, even today, but it has been lesser than in previous withdrawals, mostly due to my consistent use of the wim hof method/cutting 90% of screens for leisure/keeping minimum intake of sugar and alcohol.

    not a perfect streak though: fished a couple of times, and had a couple of seconds of nudity watching, but overall it as been a solid streak.

    for all the married brothers out there: in terms of hardmode this streak has been really strong, only 1 time i make a move on my wife, but she back me off, thankfully (she knows my goal). my tecniques has been:

    - chat with her every 5 days about the "no sex" experience.
    - we only flirt in daytime. at night is very dangerous since my energy and focus reduces a lot.
    - we sleep 1 meter apart in bed.
    - i´m being romantic, changing routines and surprising her. i´m working on being a good husband, not a needy child.

    And these are my 2 cents, let´s go for 2 months Fellowship. Onwards!!!! :emoji_star2::emoji_star2::emoji_star2:
