    Good to hear that man! I want to encourage everyone, especially you to continue fighting for the main goal. I´m convinced we´ll make it all if we continue holding each other accountable. By every urge you should think of this community, of us, of me, and of God! If we take this burden of no PMO and self-improvement, things will at some point get better very rapidly. Thus we will be better humans and also,we will also be able to serve better!

  2. The main goal is to what? Please our Creator, our Heavenly Father!
    He gave us what we need to be successful! Free will! If we do the right things out of free will it soothes the conscience, and helps us to be confident in the Lord, successful in fighting the Devil, and we are setting an example for others to follow, therefore also be better able to serve fellow mankind!
    How does that sound, fellow fapstronauts?
    Day 21 of no PMO!!!! 9 more days to reach my initial goal, can I do this? So much depends on this right now!!!!

    1. Making a schedule and getting things done
    2. praying
    3. showering cold

    and for me that´s about it ^^
     
  5. I agree, making a schedule is a great idea. I've been starting to do that as well. It keeps our mind focused.
    No, I have to confess that last night I had some emmissions, because I fantasized about my wife. I never touched myself, so technically I didn't masturbate. But just simply the thoughts of having sex with my wife caused me to have a small O, not even really an O, just some relief I guess, it's hard to define it. Anyways, I want to be honest with my fellow fapstronauts and with the Lord, so I am simply going to say that I am on day 22 of no PM, just one little tiny O while I was going to sleep and thinking about my wife sexually. Just curious if this has happened to anyone?

    I know what you mean. It happened to me once. Don´t let it bring you down, because in my case it did ruin many things for me. JUST CONTINUE!
     
  7. day 23 of no PM, and still contemplating whether my little incident the other night qualifies as an O. This seems like a grey zone to me. I did indulge in lustful thoughts, but they were about my wife.
    So I don't know, but I've been able to avoid the porn cycle, even though I've contemplated watching porn several times. This forum helps, talking to others helps, simply confessing this struggle to other people helps, because it's then no longer a secret, something I am trying to protect anymore.
    Another week, and I've completed my first 30 days, and then I have a decision to make. Have I noticed a difference in my life? Yes, I feel a little more victorious, and more encouraged to pursue other things like physical training for example, building physical strength through a more regular workout.
    I've been thinking more about goals and about accomplishing things.
    But the nights are always tough for me until I get to sleep, then I'm fine typically.
    The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
    2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
    he leads me beside quiet waters,
    3 he refreshes my soul.
    He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
    4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,a]">[a]
    I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
    Psalm 23

    Hey Fapstronauts, this is day 20. Something bad happened.

    It´s actually kind of the same that occured to you Fanchman. Yesterday, after I had read your post I went to sleep and had an O. It was because of a dream. I I didn´t F or something, it was just a because of the dream. I didn´t feel like telling it because a) I wasn´t sure how to handle it and b) I was ashamed of my self.

    Now I´ve made a decision and I encourage you, Fanchman, to do the same. For me the dream, and the failure is a message of God. We´ve gotta continue watching out, even harder. The day after (today) was pretty good, I could actually just carry on with everything but the whole day I felt kind of sad because I couldn´t gather the courage to say what happened.

    Have a nice week!
     
  9. day 24 of my "30 day challenge"
    Don't beat yourself up, wisdomkaulen, I know exactly what you are feeling. You actually did better than me, because I was awake and allowed the fantasy to go on! It was almost like half-sleep, like a stupor, but I was conscious of the thoughts I was having and allowed them to continue. I won't let this ruin my progress though!
    Technically, I did not view porn, then masturbate, then orgasm, so no PMO for 24 days now.
    I know that night time emissions will occur on their own, it's part of the process, it's kind of like a pressure relief valve opening up, because the stuff builds up over time, you know.
    I think eventually, it does dry up altogether, but not sure when that happens.
    Yes, we absolutely have to watch out even harder! Because lust will creep up out of nowhere. And when it does, we have to recognize it immediately!
    For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:16

  10. day 25 of my 30 day challenge! OK, I'm getting close. I have to say, I've been feeling better overall, like maybe I can still accomplish things that I thought in the past it was too late now, or I'll never get my shit together etc....
    I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phil. 4:13

    Day 22

    Things have been going incredibly well recently. My workouts and my nutrition especially. It feels like I´m getting more confident in social situations every day! In the next days I have to learn for my upcoming classtest, now discipline is required!

    Hope you all keep pushing!

  13. That is so encouraging to me brother!!!
    Day 27 today for me, so I am getting real close to completing my first 30 days of "sobriety". I like the "never looking back" part, because that is so key to getting free from this. We have a tendency to use our past as a crutch or a weight that is almost like a "ball and chain", but we need to simply believe that God can rescue us from this!

    yes brother , day 18 for me of No P . and yes after i hit that 30 daymark of no M , trust me , you will never want to touch your penis with your hand in a sexual way ever again , it gets easier after 30 days brother your almost there , proving the infamous quote ' it takes 30 days to break a bad habit" RIGHT!


    god bless you sir we are being made ALIVE in CHRIST - Ephesians chapter 2
     
  16. I went 90 days a few years ago, and unfortunately relapsed. And then it took a year or two to get back to where I got so disgusted with myself again, that I was ready to go sober once more. So, here I am. Day 28 of "sobriety", and I have to be honest, I have been very tempted to view porn. I am working through some thought patterns that I have been stuck in for years, and it's not fun. I am choosing to believe that God's standard is right, and that PMO is not something He enjoys seeing us do! And I want to please Him. Actively engaging in PMO and worship of our Lord God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, is not possible. Denial of the lusts of the flesh is GODLY!!!!

    Day 26 Yesterday was rough. I felt kind of depressed and I literally couldn´t do anything. Continuing to strengthen my covenant with god should be my goal now. I also had a dream O last night again. That´s actually very annoying but some say it´s part of the reboot process.
     
  18. Yes, nightly emissions is a normal part of the process, I believe. We are so used to draining the sperm bank, you know.
    Pressure builds up over time. And our brains are wired for the constant stimulation. It's normal to go through emotional ups and downs. On the one hand we feel victorious, because we are beating this, but on the other hand, we are going through "withdrawals"! Remember what the apostle Paul said: " O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Romans 7:24
    It's going to feel that way sometimes. I also had a hard night, but day 29, still committed.

    Brother , day 19 , right behind you, keep fighting them demons attacking you at night! , go to sleep with the armor of god , a little silver lighting , at least your not battling a dream in a situation you never been in . you got this . an O by itself in my opinion is not as bad as the P and M , just my opinion. JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER ! we got it !
