A Progressive Challenge-A different kind of challenge- all levels

Awesome. The three day mark is usually the point where the urges start take a little break after the initial surge. Enjoy that by spending time with someone close.

 

You are going to go at least a week this time. When you make it to that, let's celebrate by adding another week on. Be sure you report here each day so we can encourage you and please help me encourage others who may be struggling. Welcome! And yes, I will definitely pray for you. For real.

 

Man, THAT is how you avoid relapse. Brilliant to turn the phone off. Just two short days to two weeks. Try not to obsess about that. Always look ahead to the next goal instead.

 

Ediv!! You have made my evening happy. I am really glad you shared that. I get the sense that you are going to be one of the mentors for others on this list in the not too distant future! Well done.

 

I'm pretty sure the guys in this challenge are the best and most positive of all the challenges. I couldn't be more proud. Easy for me to sleep tonight.

 

Awesome. Awesome, awesome.

Guys, there's something special about this thread. Guys are starting to meet their challlenges and change their lives. What's not to like?

 

Wait, Tanglepie, how did 18 sneak up on us like that?! Wow. So close to three weeks that we're all excited for you. You and I are both having a good week, yes?

 

Rathi, almost to a week!! You've already made it through the hardest part of that week and the urges should ease up today. I think your walk was a fantastic idea. Like you, I find that a walk gives me energy, clears my mind, acts as a sort of meditation, really. I often pray on my walks. Then there's the benefit that I've also made it successfully through some time while thinking about other goals. Question for you: did you find that after the walk you were less interested in pmo than before the walk? I've heard others report that. I know it's true for me. What was your experience?

 

Day 44 report and important request for all the men in this challenge

Hey, men, at least it's only men so far on my list no women and no boys. We have some young men in this challenge but not even the youngest at 15 is a boy. You're all men. You're men because you're engaged in the most important voluntary step to full manhood. You're ready to man up and leave the wanker boy behind for good.

Manhood isn't defined by whether you've had sex or not. It's not defined by the size of your penis or the size of your muscles. It's defined by the size of your determination to take on your responsibilities without bitching and moaning or shirking and without running to a toilet stall at school or the library to wank your stress away. It's defined by the size of your smile when you look at an obstacle before you and simply say, "Excellent! I've got this!"

Don't ever let modern Western culture convince you that your manhood is toxic, evil or a threat to others. If that's true then why are rapists not the norm? Sex abusers are just filthy porn-soaked wankers who have dicks for brains and can't man up to looking at women in a healthy way. As a result, they can't get a girl the hard way by winning her over, so they do it by force in order to degrade her. Or they make sick or inappropriate comments because of their porn-filled unhealthy brains.

This is what sets you guys apart. You are ignoring society's goal to cut off your balls. You are wiping your minds and hearts clean of the dirt and clearing your nose of the musty smell of dried spunk in order to breathe clean air. At the completion of your challenges lies a new man with your name attached. One you are proud of and that other people will want to meet. You men in this challenge thread are the best.

Day 44 is going great so far. Lots of energy. A little bit of insomnia but the energy is compensating. Going to do crunches, push-ups and knee bends today.
If any of you would like me to pray for you individually, just let me know. If you'd like me to pray for something private or pray for you by first name, please send me that information privately in a conversation. I'm in a profession that has high ethical standards and I keep those. It will remain confidential, I give you my word.

 

CIA, I can't tell you how glad we are that you're here among friends. Don't forget to post daily updates and be sure to take the time to encourage others in the thread. That little bit of care for someone besides yourself gets your focus off of your urges and gives someone else a needed bit of friendship. You know the drill for the first three days. Get your mind on other things, sleep with some type of clothing on, avoid triggers at all cost. Visual edging on any sort of trigger pic soft or nasty will land you back on day 0 in a flash. We're behind you and we know you can do it! You've got this!
