Strict reboot challenge for people who are struggling.

Completed day 1
Some urges but managed to control easily no problem
I think tommorrow will be more easy for me bcz i am quite busy during the day

 

Day 16. Had a flatline today. Felt like I had no energy, drive or motivation to get things done.
But walking the dog, getting my room tidied up, wrote in my journal. Then having a cold bath before I go to bed. Haven't felt like doing these things, but I have felt better for doing them. Rather than waste my time doing nothing.

One thing I noticed, is that I'm starting to feel my emotions more. Heck! I even watched Bambi. Felt warmth and sadness from watching it. As well as having appreciation for the animation and the artwork from classic Disney movies. The time and effort putting into making it from when was it made during the second World War. There's no way I would have watched it, or felt these emotions if I was still doing PMO.

 

Hey man it's okay to relapse! get back on the horse tomorrow and learn, evolve and use your experiences to do even better next time!

 

After doing well for two weeks, I relapsed hard and have been watching a lot of porn the last week or so. Yesterday I watched porn and masturbated ten times. I almost met a stranger for sex. This obsession has to end, it's completely taken over my life. I'm so in!

 

Day 17. With it being dead downstairs like it was yesterday. I’m convinced that I’ve entered the flatline period. Though after doing things and getting them done - especially when I didn’t feel like it. I felt even more better for it, and realised I had more strength and energy than I initially thought (and felt) at first.

 

Guys try hard
Try to understand your relapse patterns and study them closely
Finally avoid those situations

 

Every time I have had a relapse. I write down the time, the place and how I’m feeling. What caused triggers, urges and then the inevitable happening in my journal. Look back and learn from that, but I bounce straight back with a cold bath, and pick myself right up.

 

Thank you @Al123

Don't beat yourself up about the relapses you've had. When we try to learn to walk, we have a fall and a tumble. Then pick ourselves right up and walk again. That's how I've been treating my recovery from PMO. From the relpases I've had, I take a similar approach to that. The same can be said about urges, etc. They're the difficulties that we encounter when giving up PMO. In other words, if we don't succeed, then try again.

Hopefully, you can learn from those mistakes from the relapses. What triggered you, what caused your urges, and inevitably have a relapse. What you can do to deal with avoid having these encounters again if you can avoid them. With a highly sexualised society that we live in. Sometimes, seeing images of women in bikinis are seen by chance in newspapers, on films, TV, etc. Of which we don't intentionally go out and look for.

 

Day 14 nearly done.been busy all day so it has went fairly easy.is morning was hell and I feel as if tonight might be also by I am march toward 2 weeks!

 

Woke up in the middle of the night with a wet dream. Then had some up and coming urge with a tingling sensation. So, I went out for a power walk in the cold weather to deal with it. It appeared to have done the trick.

Though I did wake up with no morning wood. I was on a flatline period for the past couple of days. So, I’m wondering if this is a sign of recovery. It’s the first time I had a wet dream in two and a half weeks without PMO.

 

After my broken sleeping pattern. I woke up with morning wood. Could be a sign that my flatline period is over.

 

2 weeks and feeling good! LETS MARCH ONWARD BROTHERS!

 

Possibly, I've noticed the same. The last two mornings I've woken with erections that hurt! felt bad a few days before but i'm definitely feeling my body recover.

 

I’ve had some random erections today.

 

Oh you welcome. That’s what we’re all here for. Support and commitment to the cause.

But you are right though. NoFap should be a lifestyle choice. Not a case of doing 90 days, and then we’ve quit PMO.
