Checking in Mighty Warriors!!! How have you been? Well, i had a good night´s sleep, thank God. In fact, i think i´m sleeping too well, so i guess this is due to some porn dopamine left in my brain, or the compound of all my sleep tecniques are working and preventing the porn withdrawal insomnia from taking over. Whatever it is, it´s working, so i will keep following my method! As for other symptoms i feel a bit of anxiety, fatigue and brain fog, but very manageable. not intense. Anyway i´m doing the wim hof breathing on a regular basis to help me cope with it. Nothing more to add brave nofap Guild!!! Have a great day, checking out. Here´s a very nice newsletter from Mark Queppet. What level are you in? Now i see that i was stuck on level 2 for so long. But on the last weeks, specially after my downfall, i´m totally in on level 3. So, indeed, some relapses are in a way helpful. "The way I see it, there are 3 levels of masculine development (and one non-level): Level 0: Unconsciously Running from Pain and Toward Pleasure (non-masculine) This is the level of non-masculinity where you are acting like a hedonistic pleasure-seeking, pain-avoiding robot. We've all been here, it's that gross pattern of: Scroll, click, fap, procrastinate, binge junkfood, procrastinate, panic, fap, play videogames etc. Sadly most guys live most of their life on this level. This path sinks you deeper and deeper into a hellish existence. Level 1: The Shortcut Seeker Level 1 masculinity is when a guy starts confronting his problems (which is good), but he seeks to solve them from a shortcut seeking mentality. These are the guys who are obsessed with finding some app, pill, or easy answer that will solve their problem in a snap of a finger. They get obsessed with hacks, tips, tricks, and fall for shallow sensationalism peddled by grifting gurus. The brutal truth of the shortcut seeker is that they never get the results they are looking for. However, they still have a leg up on the level 0 guys because in at least being conscious and active, they will likely at least learn more about themselves and their problems which could serve them on the next two levels should they decide to continue their evolution. Level 2: The Conflicted Hero On level 2, men (grudgingly) accept that they are going to have to sacrifice some comfort and put some work in to get success. A man at this level still has a strong priority for staying comfortable, and looks for the realistic path to his goals that will allow him to avoid as much discomfort as possible. This is the man who sees work as a necessary evil. He's willing to work, but will choose the paths that allow him to do as little as possible while maintaining a quality of life he's grown accustomed to. Depending on how lucky this guy is (his parents, his culture, his career breaks etc.) his life can range from being a dutiful grind to something rather pleasant. However, when the level 2 man takes a break from his brunches and fantasy football roster, he will wrestle with the fact that he knows he wants MORE out of life and that he's living beneath his potential. Level 3: All In The man at level 3 has embraced The Way of Work and stops caring about how difficult things are. He simply focuses on what he wants and sacrifices everything else to his highest goals. For this man, comfort is simply a currency which he trades happily for the things that matter most to him. While this man may find himself pushed to his limit, battling his dragons of chaos... he feels ALIVE. He is on fire during the day, and sleeps like a baby at night - simultaneously driven and pacified by the fact that he's pursuing his dream all out. This is the kind of man who has the potential to get the most of what life has to offer. What level are YOU living at? Feel free to respond to this email and let me know. I've dedicated myself to the path of the Level 3 man, and the mission I'm going all out on is helping OTHER men make that same transition.

2 days Low urges yesterday. Today with some porn flashbacks, but trying to avoid them focusing in something else. Today I worked out and took a cold shower. Keep strong my brothers.
4 days. Life is good. I am learning to talk from my heart to God. It is very fulfilling and I am getting to know my true self by doing it. I am finally finding myself. I started calling him dad. That is what I called my father growing up. Having a dad that listens to me and I know cared about me is very healing. I started calling Mary mom. I say mom when I am talking to her. That is what I called my mother growing up. Finally having a mom who cares is so wonderful. I have tonight off work. Going to be all by myself in my camp room. Going to have to be careful.
me too. Don't know what got into me. And these irrational thinking and blackout of thinking ... But no bingeing (new rule applies: I can hold my items)
And Lastly, since it is still September 28th today here. I had to use this opportunity. It's my birthday and no I don't want the PMO ring for my birthday like Smeagol...LOL I know I can beat this PMO ring!
Fell on day 3. Stupid rookie mistake, i let the miniskirts get to me.. Alright... new day new start... Back in the shire and journey begins...
Day 22 The past is haunting me a lot lately. I wish I could just redo my life, but I can't. Urges are high, but I'll keep pushing. I know I'll feel better eventually, but a real cloud is over me right now. I feel strange and light headed.
Day 4 complete! This streak has been harder for me than usual. Normally the temptations and challenges start showing up around day 6, but today I caught myself about to fantasize on multiple occasions. I'm glad I caught it in time. St. Lawrence Ruiz, pray for us!
Thank you for the greet bro! Some gifs should have been saved for later & other moments in the journey but these recent post felt like it resonated as of this time where I am. Ah I forgot to mention, I liked the video from your profile "Satan Explanes Naturalism". Insightful indeed & truth to all these animated/cartoon shows as well. I will tie into this later once I complete main goal in my journey here.
Still on day zero (I HATA THIS SANTENCE) it wasn't really a binge but at the same time, it was... I found myself snacking and watching porn all day long, every time just a couple of minutes in the bathroom. and in the evening I full PMO. woke up batter today. and I'm going to lock away my phone for most of the day, this is an harsh method and it won't help me quit completely, but for now I hope it would help me get the first 24 hours. I have a small question for anyone who would like to answer. how to you structure your day? when do you find time to write in this form and work on the reboot in general. my life is not too hectic and still I can't seem to find time to work on the reboot as much as I need. how do you do it?
