    Great, keep it up! When did you got insomnia?(on which day if you recall?). Mine usually starts after day 3, but it is not kind of insomnia where you get lack of sleep, it is actually i need less sleep because i am conserving energy.

    Oh it became noticeable on day 9/10. I can go to sleep, but staying asleep for more than 2 hours at a time I'd a stretch
    I'm combating this by turning in to bed a little earlier (already no devices in bed) and allowing myself to get up just a little later than I typically do, in this way I've been able to piece together 6 to 7 hours per night

    Day 4 almost over here is a meme that fits the situation when everything fails you resort to meditation:

    Hi all, is this challenge noPMO only or also noPM/noP? I am not sure from the description.

    I think the only requirement is to abstain from P and from there work your way toward desired goal, but you can ask @Spontifex or @Red_John for more details, they will give you the definitive answer. Hope we will get another edition to Matrix resistance team!

    Hey, mate! It's mainly porn.

    Ideally, it would be no PMO (no porn, masturbation, or intentional orgasm i.e. stimulating yourself to orgasm. Wet dreams and sex are fine). However, I'm aware people have their own goals, and I'm not going to police that! I just want people to leave this Challenge free from porn addiction, and being more productive!

    So basically, it's what @Interface said! :D

    Thank you for the answer. I just want to prioritise my goals for better propbability on good results on long term. I completelly support the noPMO thing. I can definitively reccomand it, I did 98 days in 2020 which actually worked really well.

    Ugh
    So I've been spring cleaning parents old shit that has been in storage shed for ages (lots of photos, memories, good and bad) and I came across a couple 1980s copies of playboys out of nowhere (must have been fathers). Despite knowing better I flipped through them before throwing them away.
    2 hours later I can't get the images out of my mind and completed an M/o session. Didn't journal, didnt come here first. Didnt go exercise. All of which were cominh in clutch b4 this. I'm Disappointed I didn't even try to stop myself. Was caught really off guard, but can't accept any excuses. I was so happy to be at 14 days and then I mindlessly, like a zombie, threw it all away. I consider this a full reset since I both peaked and then later acted upon it. It's strange for someone like me who cane to this addiction through internet to get hit by something so old-school....
    Start building again, one day at a time. Just need to work harder on self kindness....

    I also did reboot today, and it was a really small trigger. Ah, nevermind, lets concentrate on next streak. I am already better than my previous month. I have a rule to improve on a monthly basis from 10-50 percent. It is a big range, but i set the realistic goals for myself.
    Ok lets do it! :

    I like this mindset! And I too look month to month. Just 3 months ago i was resetting 6 times per month. This month I'm only at 2! Progress!
