[365-CHALLENGE] THE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS CHALLENGE !

Day 2- I am very happy and upbeat this morning. Woke up bright and early. Read and internalized my values. Meditated. Repeated some affirmations while looking at the mirror. Exercised and stretched. Reminded my self of my strengths and what I have going on for me.
If this is what two days of nofap does then I want it all!

 

Day 1.

Today I read this over on the NoFap Reddit, which I found to be strangely inspiring:

“Urges are coming and they are going to eat you alive. They will hit so hard. You will be extremely overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and akward. They will pause life and become the main and only concern. They will fuck up your brain and entire system. You will find yourself contradicting your own beliefs and principles. You will suffer, I promise you. It"s painful because you're depriving your brain the dopamine dosage it's used to. BUT When you suffer I have an advice for you- KEEP SUFFERING- the more you suffer the closer you get to your stolen freedom. So, SUFFER AND ENDURE THE SUFFERING.”

 

Day 79.

 

I just sat down today and calculated how much time I have lost to PMO in the last 20 years of being addicted. Using a conservative estimate of say 2 hours per day spent on PMO, it translates to 1/12 or 8.3% of a 24 hour day wasted. Over a course of 20 years, it translates to over 1.66 years wasted. And this is just a conservative estimate unless my calculations are wrong. I am sure I spent more time on PMO in the overall scheme of things. Let's say I wasted 2 years out of 20 on PMO, that is just too much time wasted on something that adds no value to my life.

What can I do with 2 hours per day of free time? I could learn a new skill that can help me professionally. Volunteer my time to do something that benefits society. Read and apply a personal development book. I mean basically do something productive.

It is funny when one is enveloped in PMO, 2 hours per day does not seem like a lot of time lost. But when these 2 hours are compounded over a course of a lifetime, it translates to a lot of years. And that is not to mention the time that is lost to mindless entertainment, unproductive social media browsing and other unproductive activities that are a part of modern living.

At least let me use the time I would otherwise use in PMO to do something productive from now henceforth.

Check-in day 123 of 365

 

Day 11.5 My last day at work for 4 weeks.

Thanks, I really admire the your progress, it's inspirational to see that you've abstained for so long. Thanks for your comment, there have been some tough moments today and reading this really helped

 

Day 12. I've rarely ventured this far into the forgotten and while I've had a few trying moments today, I'd say it's not been the worst. I no longer have to think about work for a few days & I'll be spending my time off being active and in good company which in all hope will take me beyond 2 weeks. But I won't get ahead of myself, I will take it day by day.

 

Day 3

Day 4

 

1/365
Today I learned that
“Porn addiction means addiction to a certain type of vibration that has been created by the drug use and the subsequent chemical processes in the body. The addiction has gone to the deepest level of the mind, and there is every likelihood of it becoming rooted in the deep unconscious. As meditation reaches the unconscious level of the mind by working with the sensations, it can remove the roots of addiction.”
