That is good to hear, thank you. I am at the hardest time for myself usually and hope to make it past the 30 day mark. I am confident especially since I am now a single guy and I can get back to my beast routine.
When streaks increase. Beware of few people around you, they gonna discourage you with taunts like 'He just here for high streaks and nothing else'. I wonder why?
@ThisTrainDontStop checking in for the day. Yesterday was very very very close, closer than what I am comfortable with. If my resolve had been even slightly weaker than it was, I would've came in and reported a relapse instead of the usual check in. So, I was staying up very late(In hindsight, that was dumb, but my brain refused to go to bed for some reason), and then my inner demons came out and told me 'Hey, let's take a look at this borderline stuff, it would be just fine'. Being staying up too late to stay rational, I said yes, and before I even realized, I found myself some really borderline content. It felt just like those moments before I was just about to relapse. My defenses felt weak, I had no will to fight on, but my heart saved me. It asked me 'What are you doing? Had you forgotten what you're fighting for? Is this what you want for your life?', and it was what brought me back to reality. In disgust, I rejected my inner demons and went the fuck to sleep. Also, just got some exercise, which I haven't had for days, the feeling of blood pumping around my body is nice.
@Turtleboi I've been struggling with this problem as well. I stay up so late that I get loopy and then don't feel like going to bed. You definitely have to be careful with staying up late. The almost-relapse sounds really scary, but your heart saving you is awesome. I'll have to think about incorporating that into my strategy. Hopefully I'll never get so close to relapse that I need it (I haven't gotten that close on this streak), but that would be a really good last resort to have as well.
@Saiyan123 I'm withdrawing from the challenge(I've already won the duel) as it seems I'm investing more time in NoFap. Nofap goal is to just endorse us more and more into real life; which I'm failing at. I need to take more stricter decisions to implement them in my life. Btw Thanks to you and @Alexander for supporting such gullible and innocent people; And bringing us out from this. Due to this I was able to see the clear vision. I was able to reach 170+ days. Also I don't want to be victim of criticism that he's faking us and he's just here to impress others and only gain higher streaks. It's very difficult to endure such few things. When you advice your companions what to do but you end up getting humiliated by them. I think that's the end of Doctor Manhattan here. Good Bye!
Yeah, it's very dangerous. I have been trying to deal with this for the entire month. I'm trying out an alarm at 11, hope it works well. Tbh, my heart has always tried to save me before I relapsed, it's just that this time, it worked. However, I've been reading a lot about the dark side of PMO, as well as other good stuff recently, which might have contributed to my heart growing enough strength to repulse this attempt by my inner demons to subjugate me.
Another winner! Really nice meeting you and sad to see you go but totally understandable as your words are similar to @Alex_Al, @010010010100000101001101 have said in the past. I think you're a reminder for all of us to never give up and always improve yourself whilst doing this, like waking up early, being productive and disciplined. Well done soldier, winning is inevitable!
