not only on 80th day. i see on my experience and from others experience, that when a special time landmark is coming or is surpassed, there´s a increase of risky confort behaviour. it´s the significance of the day that make brothers soften their strategy. it´s a huge trap that can lead to the start of a relapse. don´t care for the day you´re in bro. just follow your strategy as always and you´ll be allright
those kind of records makes my day. congratulations bro . keep going and don´t let your guard down . Onward!!!!
very good bro, but that´s only half the work. you know that pmo is not the answer to stress, but now you need to know (and practice beforehand) what will you atually do when you feel stressed. it´s super important.
it doesn´t bro. pmo will give you a punch in the face and present you with a bandage to make you feel relieved. it´s the ultimate illusion. read easy_peasy for more details

Have a great Sunday!!! easy_peasy "5.1 Scientific reasoning There’s publicity the other way, sexual dysfunction scares, loss of motivation, preferring virtual porn to real girls, YourBrainOnPorn and various internet subcultures, but these movements don’t actually stop people from using. Logically speaking they should, but the simple fact is they don’t. Even the health risks listed from peer reviewed studies on YourBrainOnPorn aren’t enough to stop an adolescent from starting. Ironically, the most powerful force in this confusion is the user themselves. It’s a fallacy that users are weakwilled or physically weak people. You have to be physically strong in order to cope with an addiction after you know it exists. Perhaps the most painful aspect is that they place themselves as unsuccessful losers and insufferable introverts. It’s likely that a friend could be more interesting in person if they hadn’t put themselves down for seeking self-pleasure. 5.2 Problems using willpower Users quitting using the willpower method blame their own lack of willpower and ruin their peace and happiness. It’s one thing to fail in self-discipline and another to self-loathe. After all, there’s no law that requires you to be hard all the time before sex, properly aroused and able to satisfy your partner. We’re working on an addiction, not a habit and at no point do you argue with yourself to stop a habit like golfing, but to do the same with porn addiction is normalised, why? Constant exposure to a supernormal stimulus rewires your brain, so building a resistance to this brainwashing is critical, as if buying a car from a second hand car dealer – nodding politely but not believing a word the man is saying. So don’t believe that you must have as much sex as you can, all of it being exceptionally good, using porn in it’s absence. Don’t play the safe porn game either, your little monster invented that game to lure you. Is amateur porn certified by some authority? Porn sites gather data from their users and use it to cater to their needs, if they see a uptick in a certain category they’ll focus on it and get content out ASAP. Don’t be fooled by educational intent or ’safe’ female marketed clips. Start asking yourself: “Why am I doing it? Do I really need to?” No, of course you don’t! Most users swear that they only watch static and soft porn and therefore are fine, when in actuality they’re straining at the leash, fighting with their willpower to resist temptations. If done too often and for too long, this depletes their willpower considerably and they begin failing in other life projects where willpower is of great value, like exercise, dieting, etc. Failure in these areas makes them feel miserable and guilty, cascading and kicking them back into pornography. If this isn’t done, they’ll vent their anger and depression onto loved ones. Once you become addicted to internet porn, the brainwashing is increased. Your subconscious mind knows the little monster has to be fed, blocking everything else. It’s fear that keeps people from quitting, fear of that empty, insecure feeling they get when they stop flooding their brains with dopamine. Just because you’re unaware of it doesn’t mean it’s not there. You don’t have to understand it any more than a cat needs to understand where the hot water pipes are, the cat just knows that if it sits in a certain spot it feels warm."
Hey there @NaSa786, I do not believe that there is a method for tagging a joined challenge, I simply manually enter it and change the colors with the word processor. I hope this helps!
Day 17, Hello Urges! Welcome back into the mix hahahaha. Keeping strong and maintaining focus while studying. Intending to have a productive day that is free of PMO/Fishing/and any other lower mindsets. Almost through the weekend brothers! Stay strong Fellowship!
I am making a group of accountability partners. Anyone interested?? Then reply on this thread https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/i-want-accountability-partner.302110/
Day 37 check in. Today the temptations have been coming left and right, but I've just said "No". If I don't entertain them, they go away after a while. I am proud of all of you that are working on fighting this addiction. Even when things don't go according to plan, get up and fight again. Keep learning and keep moving forward. I never heard of SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION, but I'll give it a read. The only P addiction health related book that I've read is Your Brain on P.
day 6! Uruk – Hai!!!! I’ve never thought I would get to this point and that I would ever be so happy to be an Uruk–Hai. Only 9 more days until I’ll be a hobbit and I’ll be one of the good guys. Today I’ve meditated, cleaned the house want to an online job interview and got the internship I wanted. Today was a good day.
Day 83! I knew that Sunday is the day of the devil as it's the day that I get to be relaxed. I set myself to do one of those nice Sunday afternoon naps and I could observe how my brain trying to find reasons to think about some nice bodies or trying to make me want to go on insta or porn to see some of them. I ravaged those thoughts pretty quick as I just shook myself up and gave myself two options: Either focus on actually sleeping and relaxing or go and do something. So I focused on sleeping and sleeped I have, yet what do I see when I wake up? A notification from an ex of mine. Let me tell you... it was pretty challenging talking to her as I saw myself trying to continue our conversation just to get some nudes. I was in luck today as I haven't tried too hard and she said no. I don't think I would've relapsed, but I see now that there is still corruption in me and I still have a long way to go. Anyway... I went and did an work-out afterwards and I'm pretty cool now! A great day to you too brothers!
