  1. Yes it can, that's why people are required to check in regularly, so we know they aren't off relapsing while their counters rack up the days. I suspect there are a few here who are doing that, but I will be doing some housecleaning in the next week or so. The system isn't foolproof, of course. You could easily lie and say you have 200 days or whatever, but I'm guessing people who really want to recover won't do that.

  2. Sorry dudes, I'm back to 0 again. It was a good streak while it lasted.

    I went through that myself Freebird, cutting down from 2-4x a day to just once. It is definitely an improvement and you can feel the benefits. Remember, it's not about streaks, it's about progress. And what you're doing is cutting your behavior down to a quarter, third or half or whatever, so good job. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward!

    And yes, I have noticed plenty of suspicious counter stuff too. Guys who drop down to Day 0 in their post, yet their counter still shows a high number.. At the end of the day, we're not competing against each other, only against ourselves. (except for this group's leaderboard o_O:D:eek::rolleyes:)
     
  5. Or "progress, not perfection" as they used to say in the 12-step groups.

    Progress, not perfection. I like that. Do they not say that anymore? It is great. So many times I'll see NF members make posts like 'Day 0 of 60. I promise I will never PMO ever again.' Shooting for the moon, it's really the wrong approach. If it happens it happens, and you start over again. You need to cut yourself some slack.

    Thanks my man! You can do it!

  8. @MusicMan123, sorry to be a scrooge, but I noticed that your counter now says porn only. If you want to stay listed in the member ranking you will need to commit to no PM or PMO and reset your counter, otherwise I will have to give your spot to somebody else. (We have three guys on the waiting list.)
     
  9. I am working through some issues so you can have my spot. Sorry.

    May I join the group. Or can you suggest any other.
     
  11. Yes, aren't we all. :) Good luck. There will be some more spots opening up if you ever want to hop back on.
     
  12. We are currently full, but I can put you on the waiting list. (There are three other people on the list at this time.)
     
  13. @Dolittle, are you still interested in joining this group? We have a spot available. Reply to this comment if you are.

    That's cool to know. Back at 0 today but very happy it was after a 3 day streak. What are most people's streak goals in this group? I'd be happy to go from 2 or 3 times a day to 2 or 3 times a month.

    Also, does sex break the streak? Had a date last night and we had sex and didn't O on my own (guess I''m used to fap), then I O'd myself this morning. Wondering if i should try not to have sex either - for at least a little while. Guess it could help motivate me to develop a relationship with a girl instead of the endless dates. Funny, my married friends sometimes say they are jealous of my single lifestyle, but it gets so boring and empty having superficial relationships that end fairly quickly.

  18. OK, I will add you to the member ranking next time I update it. (Probably tomorrow or the next day.)

  19. So I relapsed. I let family stress get the better of me. Issues with my brother and mother. The desire to escape the stress was huge and I could have done something other than pmo, but I didn’t.

    Next time, I’m making it a goal to write in this thread and go for a drive. Something other than stew in my house.
