    I'm so mind-numbed, I don't even like it. I already M'd twice and I think twice yesterday (not sure because of this brainfog). So I M'd 4 times total. I feel controlled by like a spell, so to speak.

    First of all, I so needed that brutal honesty because I so damn agree. Basically, it really is my mindset, really. 1) I was pretty much in my room all day (I know. Same excuse, sorry); 2) Not really much of what I'm severely stressing over, but it's my friendship so-called breakup with my bible study leader that I don't even know if I still wanna be friends with. Though I doubt that is one of the things that triggered me, yet it's kinda connected to my lack of productivity/"spiritual" accountability (but I have y'all, Fapstronauts, as well) because he's biblical etc,. Again, thank you so much (no sarcasm at all), for being so brutal because I needed it a lot.

    5th relapse (?). My goodness, apparently my memory is not ready for Anatomy I. That's literally all I care about is how will this impact my memory. By a long shot, but it's combat-able.

    ME RIGHT NOW:

    *If you trip, move forward, forward, forward, so you can nail productivity and having a passing grade on ONE college class I'm taking.*

    Easy to say, but difficult to do, but I ain't giving in tomorrow, despite the fact I feel like trash today.

    I was caught up in the same trap a day before. I reached a new low that day. I was so disgusted at my own behaviour, the way I was treating myself. It was like I had no self-respect left for myself. You may find it funny, but from 2 days I am doing this only-
    Wake up-pushups-NoFap subreddit-Nofap community (here)-reading all day about it-posting in random forums-joining chat rooms#nofap-sleep-REPEAT-
    I just don't want to lose this time. I want myself to be treated the way I deserve.

    Don't do it again today. I read in one of the posts yesterday that If you relapse, you shouldn't encourage yourself to do it more thinking as if the day is wasted. Think of it as if you were climbing a mountain and you tripped , you slipped, now anybody in their sane mind would learn from that mistake and stand up to continue the climb not slide down again. That would be plain stupid, you are just being hard on yourself. That's PMO taking over.

    Slipped in to it by accident and for some reason gave in. I live in Houston, btw, no lie. It's probs Hurricane Harvey that I'm a bit concerned of (we're ok, btw) and wanted to make myself numb, but it ain't the right thing.

    I just relapsed after a thirteen day streak. Might as well join this, it'll give me a fresh start. I'm determined to make these next few months productive, no PMO, or artificial stimulation (this encompasses clothed but risqué pictures of women online), and I will try my very best to avoid relapsing again.

    take care in that hurricane bro. i hear the flooding is bad. in regards to relapsing you just have to keep it at it at your own pace, i can give all the advice in the world, but you need to remember that this is an addiction and it takes time to get rid off, even i'm on day 90 and even though i feel the benefits i still know i need to go way longer to be fully healed.
    this also goes at everyone else in this group, take your time and in the meantime do things that will stop the impulse thoughts e.g mediation, exercise etc and boredom where most relapses stem from.

    Let's get out this never ending cycle.
    Goal - A better life by abstaining from PMO. Instead, focus on creation of epic stuff.
    I promise to cut off 9gag and YouTube. I know, now, that these stuff give me a sense of understanding without having learnt anything. Forcing me to consumer garbage.
    Plan - 20 books by 2018. A MATLAB code, better social circle, focus on college. In short: TAKE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING WITH IT.

    Almost hit a week but i messed up by looking at porn for a couple of minutes then MO-ing. I still dont fully understand why, but at night my body temp drops quickly when i worry about tomorrow or if ill pmo that night. Selffulling prophecy I guess. If i can defeat this then my walk would be much easier. Not giving up!

    Day 4 again of the reboot....

    I guess pretty much I need to:

    - take care of my maltipoo more
    - read my bible more
    - do more Sudoku puzzles
    - finish my self help book that I've been reading ("You are not your Brain" by Jeffrey Schwartz--good book that teaches Four Steps method of getting rid of bad thoughts).

    Like what I initially said, I'd like to journal more of my feelings since I have a personal journal that my attention span doesnt like.

    I know my plan is similar (if not, same exact) to what I said but for the influx of new people too lazy to read my first post on this thread, this post is for y'all. For the ones already familiar with this plan (yet that I relapsed on), I only re-stated this for the new members too lazy to read my first post, yet again, to reiterate lol

    Unintentionally slipped in today, but will not count it as a relapse since I covered my eyes and did not indulge in it
