    Ayyy right here (I said it before I think). Today I studied Kanji and watched some Japanese shows, and I also visited some Japanese sites and talked to Japanese people. I got a lot of practice today! Good luck!

    Verrry nice! My first 10 hiragana...10 more tomorrow. Congrats on the studies and the chat with native speakers!

    Thanks Sean...I thought of one more strategy as a result...someone in particular I will call. Let's make this a good reboot start day.

    mlang284, you are already better than the last time, everyday better than yesterday because you keep fighting! And that's the key skill!

    10 days, stratosphere for me. A roller coaster ride at times, with some wavering, but onward we go. Thanks for good words and prayers.

    Told a close friend I trust, first one to hear it. She was accepting and understands the addiction a little better. Calmer now.

    Tried to help a friend tonight here, and despite earnest efforts, it seems I just made it worse. I feel apologetic, and terrible.
    mlang284
    I stumbled on an old trigger I didn't expect...pray for me tonight please.

    Damn bro. I can't let it get that bad for me. The fear of losing everything is why I quit. I have told my cousin and two friends and plan to tell two more of my friends. I don't trust anyone else.

    Congratulations there! It took a lot of courage. I think I will have that same courage with time, as you say, with people who really care about me.

    It's a good Idea. It was horrible telling them I relapsed. You have more reason to go on if someone knows.

    Thank you, Sleeping Beauty. Last night went pretty well, and as a bonus, my lady friend can communicate with me today. I know I can't depend on someone else to do the work for me, but it's great to have that contact, albeit long distance.

    Organizing is good for bringing down anxiety for me...for you as well? And with a lot of help, here I am...one entire week.

    Organizing can be a stress-reliever, yes :) Congratulations on your whole week!!! That's a big milestone

    Thank you, Sleeping Beauty! Even organizing my email brings the stress down. I hope to get my apartment in better shape. I appreciate the congratulations, too...credit to God and the support here as well as recognizing my weak times a little better, even getting me through one particularly disastrous moment.

    After writing a friend here to share some sadness, anger and hurt, much more calm...thankful for generous members here who encourage.

    Thank you @MrBigA ! Made all the difference in the world to pour it out to a friend this morning, sharing and naming feelings, instead of rationalizing, which I do often. Have a great day of freedom, good work and creativity!

    Oh, hell yeah. I'm only just realising these days that just keeping everything trapped in your head only prolongs your issues... Been doing that for years... It's rather cathartic to get it out.

    Remembering HALT today. If two or more of the following are happening, time to be extra vigilant: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired.

    "Two or more of the following?" Heck, for us it just takes one of those… ha ha

    Exactly @lfromcr - I had the "L" going in HALT and almost made a bad choice this evening. Two or more...even a higher alert. Sometimes it's all four!!

    All four? Yikes.

    So judging by your statuses,youre on day 5?
    mlang284
    mlang284
    Yes, getting to day 5! Doing better this morning - thanks for reading and commenting on my status. Best to you, connecting more and more with the community and building a list of great strategies to combat PMO!

    A great thing to remember is that nofap isnt just a simple goal,its a tool you can use. If you can give up an unhealthy habit of PMO, you can pretty much do anything lol

    Poor choice tonight leading to edging, and what saved me from O? Poor internet connection. Good news: identifying a new trigger.
    mlang284
    Sunday morning...holy day, no problem, right? But the opposition never takes a day of rest. Seeking strength 7 days a week!
    mlang284
    If you face a tough moment today, there's the panic button, but you may want to contact an old friend, too -even with a hand-written letter!
    mlang284
    Wishing you focus and strength as we head into the weekend - good choices in mind, especially during blocks of free time.
