[7-CHALLENGE] THE SEVEN DAYS CHALLENGE !

Day 4. Had strong urges late last night but I knew what I really needed was to let myself rest and recover through sleep. Woke up not wanting to even get out of bed and was tempted to relapse but I didn't. Not feeling good emotionally or physically today but I still got up and I'm still giving the day my all. We only ever have one playing field, one battlefield to conquer, and that's the current day. I may feel amazing tomorrow, I don't know. For now though only today matters. One day at a time I'm moving myself closer to the future I want.

 

@2525, I completed the 7-day challenge. You really helped me stay motivated! Thank you, and plz add my name to the hall of fame

 

Day 1 - Didn't get to do everything I'd planned (mostly because I had to get to confession and couldn't go to mass.) But I'll try to get in the groove in the next couple days. The plan is to have breakfast and then read and meditate all at around 7AM, go to Mass at 8:30, work, come home, sleep, repeat. This should keep me busy, mindful, spiritually healthy, and hopefully lead to recovery.

 

Day 2. Morning here, i slept well. Started to write a paper journal. Wish you all a good day!

 

Day #4.

I don't have urges at day but wet dreams at night.

And I already am in a flatline

 

Day 3/7 done ! had urges yesterday while going to bed. My wife is sick so I have to restrain my urges and desires. It's a good exercise

 

Day 1.

 

Day 0 into this.

 

Day 5 done, two more to go then I hit the 7day marker. Gotta keep moving forward

 

Day 0 -> Day 1 -> Day 2 -> Day 3 -> Day 4 -> Day 5

Seem to have recovered from yesterday's urge.

 

Hell yes, that is normal! Remember you're not doing NoFap to stop sexual thoughts or desires. You're doing NoFap to reach your goals.

NoFap is not about suppression (otherwise your efforts will backfire!). NoFap is transformation.

 

First of all, congratulations! You displayed awesome. You also displayed potential.

You will have lots of days like that during your NoFap journey. Some days you will feel like you're on top of the world. Other days you feel like you want to punch the next thing you see in the face. Other days you will feel like you're going to burst.

It's all a part of the journey. No matter what happens, remember yesterday whenever you fail or get close to failing. Sear it into your memory. That is what will give you persistence.

Discipline + persistence = awesome

 

Day 3 of 7 Reaching the halfway point. The key here is restrained optimism. If I get too confident or too overwhelmed...you know what happens

 

I'm in. DAY 0.

 

So I managed seven days. Yesterday was extremely challenging. But I made it! I feel proud of myself.

Feeling not so good coming on to nofap forum today as the previous days. I got some guy - I suppose considering his name - belittling me yesterday and assuming all sorts of negative and degrading things about me: I was not attractive (proven fact I am very handsome and tall) should go to the gym (I go 5 times a week all year long look like fucking He-man) and that my ex had cheated on me for sure. That was not what you come on here to listen to, that kind of bullshit!

Better days ahead on to the 14 day challenge I go.

 

Going off topic how do you go to the gym 5 times a week? I train as a boxer 4 times a week and I am in constant muscle pain, do you have that too?

 

I have training regimen. Mix more intense workouts with less intense, I sometimes do only cardio aswell. That's about it.

 

That might be it, I go 100 % every time I train.

 

Good luck.

 

Checking in ... gotta go into work, so not chance to check in there.
Doing " OK " so far today. Didnt have any issues last night, not really any this morning.
Mostly the urges from the " habits ", the muscle memory part of it ... " Hey dumbass, time to rub one out like we always do. "

It's kinda strange, theres two active parts of my brain / thinking.
One is like, " Damn, I NEED this pleasure / feeling / sensation / positive rush. "
The other is like, " Porn and Beef-Stroke-it-off, whats that ? You dont need that. "

I've done a ton of lurking on here, reading success stories. Watching videos about NF on YouTube and the bravery and freedom I see is something I really want.
It wont fix my career, but if the videos are right, Ill have an increased amount of creativity, clarity and such, that could guide me into the answers Im needing.

Since NYDay , when I have felt like peeling my skin off because of a trigger,.... Ive come here. The urges seem to fade in the light of empowerment.

Check in 10:20pm

Finished the work day. No problems. Felt some anxiety / pressure, but that may be the meds Im on. Its a side effect.

Went to a late Christmas party for work. Plenty of lowcut, tight, short dresses ... not a single problem. Not even a fleeting thought.

Came home, fed the dog, read a SINGLE WORD on the dog food can and had a mild five second trigger ... but it went away without consequence.

A word on a Dog food can ... WTF !!! LOL.

Tomorrow, Ill be alone all day. Im starting a workout program. Well see how it goes.

2/7 complete
