[30-CHALLENGE] THE THIRTY DAYS CHALLENGE !

Day 7/30 Done

 

Yes I agree the individual very much shapes their own journey

 

Thank you everyone for the honest and insightful replies. It is clear the purpose of sharing this whole incident was to be honest with myself but with you all also, we are here on these forums to go through this together so these things matter.

@Love369, man, you made my day. No need to drag you along with me but yes you made me realize the counter is just to mark day-to-day progress, it's not evidence for anything. If I reset today I still would feel all the benefits I had up to now. Thanks for reminding me not to take things too seriously but still be responsible!

As for the 'Mr. Technical' response, well I tried to be technical in my argument that this was no relapse, so a technical counter-argument is only logical and it hit the mark.
Yes, I didn't do the whole P+M+O thing but yes, I did M. So that's not really abstaining from PMO now.
I don't believe edging for 10 minutes once can be detrimental to my health, honestly. You have a point that for a recovering addict this may differ. I had a nasty habit, maybe developing into an addiciton, but it was definitely to P+M+O, to the point I haven't masturbated naturally like this since childhood maybe. I am aware edging even without porn can be a slippery slope and I will try to stay extra focused because of it.
Also my feeling was 'I'd rather just masturbate a bit than go full blown PMO relapse' but indeed it's tricky and dangerous even this way.
Like everyone said, these things are so subjective and individual. You would definitely count an incident such as this as a relapse, I won't. I will try to build on it, rather than disappoint myself. I appreciate your honest opinion, though.

Anyway, enough about this, thank you for the understanding, I'll be moving on, maybe with a changed counter just to be truthful about this streak. I will also try no to repeat this, just because this time I 'got away' with it. I also look forward to doing a longer streak without P, M and O. We'll see. Good luck all!

P.S. I'd like to share what I am listening to right now, my mom posted it on social media and it really calmed my nerves before bed

 

You are welcome anytime I'll give that music a listen! Also, I want to add that I love your Avatar

Day 10/30

my mind wandered off a little bit during this afternoon, got myself thinking about M at some points while browsing on social media. I’m not a heavy user of social media but it might be better to back off a little bit and stop using it, at least until I feel like I have a little bit more of control over my thoughts.

 

Checking in.

 

Day 23 completed ... didn't do much of work ... Will rise again ...
