THE TEAM CHALLENGE.

Being honest here is probably the hardest part of this challenge. I'm ashamed every time I have to declare I relapsed. You are brave, relapsing 5 times and admitting it is still better than hiding it and lying about it. Next time it will get better, and you really deserve to be leader of this challenge, you just proved it with your honesty.

 

Hi everyone.
Hi @Blossom.
Hi @Desperate_Warrior.

After many days of inactivity on the forum, I finally built enough courage to admit that I relapsed, not only once, but two times in the same day. (All under 1 hour.)
That was on September 8, the guilt is still going strong in me, my goal for this challenge was to have only 1 strike on our team (Team Gucci) but now It's far gone!
That means, 2 strikes on Team Gucci by my name.

I'm really ashamed of what I did, my bad @Blossom, the task now is only 2 strikes, I'm going to try my best.
I hope It doesn't 'desmotivate' you @Blossom, let's keep the number of strikes low, give me a second chance!

 

Hey man. You created possibly the best challenge ever on this forum, you definitely deserve to be the leader.

The best thing you can do for yourself and your teammate is stop the binging. Remind yourself the reasons of wanting to embark on the journey of NoFap

 

Well done for making it through the evening @Akermark. The next morning... well, we've all been there. No need to feel down though buddy. Let's spread some amazing Cashew Butter and have a team huddle, lol!

 

Heads up @2525, The strikes for Team Cashew Butter should now be updated to [1/0]. Thank you.

 

I hope the 'pressure' of administrating this challenge has not exacerbated the temptation to which you have succumbed.

The post you made to someone else^ is significant mate. This challenge is about team work. So, it is the work that you and @Moon Shot do to support each other behind the scenes that is key to this. I have been in so many black holes over the years fighting this. But it is the advice and encouragement of my peers on NoFap that has made all the difference.

 

The activity here has reduced, which is to be expected since we've reached the middle stage of the challenge. It's easy to be motivated at the beginning; it's hard to keep that same motivation, that same fire in your belly throughout.

Just want to remind everyone, including myself, that we still have 78 days left to go in this challenge. Stay strong willed and never lose sight of your goals.

 

Checking in once again. I've been having a slight struggle these past couple of days. Increased thoughts of giving in. And once, I, unintentionally, nearly saw porn, but immediately clicked away as soon as I realized what was about to load on the site.

Ugh. I guess the smooth sailing is over. Time for rocky seas. But I've got to hold fast to the reason why I joined this site in the first place and how I felt every time I gave up in the past.

Regret, shame, guilt. To hell with experiencing that again.

With that, I'm about to go make some food. Get the hell out of my room for a bit.

I've also been diving into my writing and it's certainly been helping me focus and pass the time.

Yeah, I noticed that. I was hoping it's just people focusing more on staying clean rather than them losing interest in the challenge.

-------------------------------------------------------------

So my partner has been offline for a complete total of 6 days and today is the 7th day. After today, it'll be a full week since he last checked in.

Obviously, I'll wait until the very last minute for him to return, but assuming he doesn't, I look forward to being paired up with my next partner, many relapses or not.

Stay clean, guys. I may drop some motivational stuff later.

 

Leaders aren't supposed to be some god-like, perfect person with no flaws whatsoever. They're supposed to lead and support their followers and said followers are supposed to support said leader.

I support you now, my good sir. Get back up and try again. That's the mark of a good leader right there.

 

Checking in.
Relapsed again.

Christ, this is a new low for me. A 1 day "streak". Except 1 day isn't a damn streak.

Sorry won't fix it or undo the strike my partner has to bear because of me. But I am sorry.

I'm sorry i ever started this habit.

I will try again and again. And again after that if I need to.

I'm sorry.

 

I got my admins muddled up, hahaha.
Huge apologies @Desperate_Warrior! Anyway, thanks for updating our team info.
I did the same thing (sort of) in a conversation between me and StraightEdge3616 earlier today.
Two senior moments on the same day... Smh! It's not good. It's not good!

 

Guys sorry I've been logged off for such a crazy amount of time. I've been quite busy as my friends and I are leaving for university soon and there's been a few family things on etc and NoFap really did slip my mind completely which also corresponds to my damn relapses. I understand I've now been disqualified as I didn't reply in time; honestly these next few weeks are going to be so significant in my life that NoFap really has been at the back of my mind lately. Sorry @DeservedCriticism for being a rubbish team mate but I'm sure you understand

 

You deserve it man, really. Everything you're doing for this challenge is amazing and despite my relapse i think its really helpful and awesome, easily the best concept for a challenge i've seen. I think in the long run its going to help me a lot. I'm glad you're feeling better and i hope you come out of it stronger. Best of luck
