I dropped the ball when it came to writing on here everyday but here is the progress. Day 4: Felt down more than usual, almost gave in but went to work out instead. The urge passed and moved on to; Day 5: Still felt pretty down, the urge was starting to get less and less. Kept my mind busy, this is the time to finally be done. Eventually made it through the day! Day 6: woke up feeling great, eventually my mood shifted some and didn't feel the greatest. Was a little down but definitely could feel it to start to get better. Had a strong urge that eventually subsided. Learning to not put myself in a situation where it is easy to give in when the urges come is one of the hardest parts. Day 7: Well I made it to day 7. Feel ok today, a little down but starting to feel more upbeat. I know the end picture is way better than this so just have to stay focused. The day isn't over yet but I feel confident I will make it through. Tomorrow will start the beginning of the 2 weeks challenge, I'm determined to change this lifestyle, one week at a time.
Thanks! It feels good to be able to talk about it on here without the fear of being judged. Helps a lot through the process!
Hey, I have been trying to complete this challenge for the last 2 weeks.....but it seems impossible and I end up relapsing. Please Help
Day 3 of Hard Mode for me but Day 1 for this challenge. I'm in. I MO'd last time on Day 6. How I'm avoiding PMO this time around? By starting to run, exercise, meditate regularly and focusing on learning a skill - computer programming. Also not blocking out triggers like movies and social media this time. My reboot log is here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/last-day-of-the-old-me.126865/
Read as much as you can on here. It is a tough row, but it can be done. Lots of posts here have good ideas to make it through. One thing you really have to do is find other things to occupy your minds and body.
Sad times my brothers... I relapsed today, on the morning of day 5!! Evening of day 4 I had some serious craving, I resisted, but I felt really hot, like anger and intensity. I dealt with it OK, just kind of turned it positive, went for a huge walk, acted loud and crazy round the house. This morning the temptation was too great and found myself looking at porn, trouble is - it was all the sweeter as a forbidden fruit!! LAME! Anyway, this was my first time around. So I start again today... Day 0. Trouble for me is I work online, alone - it's tough. I think I need to get a Mac App like 'Self Control' and use it...
Today is day 1 for me after I had sadly relapsed yesterday but more importantly I analyzed what was wrong and now I dont even have an iota of doubt that I will get out of the clutches of PMO. This is not me. This PMO has maligned me, I just am not myself I am just like a product of PMO.No this will have to stop and I will beat PMO to pulp. Even a small thought I will crush it in such a way that it shall not dare to get back. Because I am a fighter.
