Hey guys, sorry it's been a long time. What a year. Great to see so many of you doing so well. Wanted to wish you all the very best in the new year and beyond. Cheers!

Thank you so much, mate. I appreciate all your efforts here and I'm very grateful to have been a part of this group. It's great to see so many guys achieving success. After some thought, I've decided to leave the group to make room for someone else. Will definitely stop by to say hello. You...

Monk mode can do wonders. Helps you channel that energy into anything you wish to do. Staying busy, yet not overwhelmed, is a must as well. Temptations can reappear when you least expect. It's all well worth it, gentlemen. Keep fighting the good fight.

@artifact: Used to happen to me all the time, mate. And that chaser effect is a killer. But no worries, there shouldn't be any particular harm done to the reproductive system by abstaining, even following any very intense urge; any discomfort eventually dissipates and things soon go back to...

Hey mate, for starters, don't let it get to you. Focusing on the positives is best: you had a great streak and you can definitely do it again, and much more. The reaction following the encounter with the woman is perfectly understandable. Whenever a woman shows interest in us, our biology...

I'd recommend No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert A. Glover.

Thanks for the shout-out, mate. The temptations were starting to hit me again recently, but I know I have to stay committed. Trying to fill my time with as many productive activities as possible, but it's still a challenge sometimes. Seems always having those goals and things to look forward...

I can relate and it's very tempting. Women can definitely sense the boost in confidence and start wondering what you're all about. At the same time, it's like we finally have some control over this issue and we feel rejuvenated. We start pursuing our goals more intensely and gain what no one...

Sorry to hear about this, mate. Hope it wasn't a bad case. Feel better.

Checking in. Some temptations recently but they soon disappeared. Very unusual how they arrive out of the blue and then just vanish. Had enough of this cold, dreary winter and really looking forward to getting out during the warmer months. My goal is to make this the best year ever (as the...

Thanks, brother. Will keep on moving forward. There were so many times I thought of quitting, but being a part of this group kept me going through it all, no doubt :emoji_pray:. I think the accountability has to be there, or else it's just too easy to slip up.

@artifact: I appreciate the kind words so much, mate. *Thank you* for creating this group and all of you gentlemen for your participation and support here. We all have the ability to conquer this once and for all. Keep on keeping on and never give up the fight.

I used to be this way as well. I think it's all about setting boundaries with people and being assertive at times, without being aggressive. Having firm convictions is important but expressing them using Mark Twain's advice: "the truth must be served like a coat, and not thrown in the face...

Checking in. Things have been a bit busy with work lately, but it's helping me get through the winter without looking elsewhere. Some temptations recently, but they always disappear after a couple of days. Exercise and a few new hobbies are also keeping me on track. Indeed, this battle can...

Yikes, pneumonia..that doesn't sound good. Plumbing issues can also be a nightmare, especially during these colder months. Feel better, mate!
