Hi guys, i forgot to write cause i'm working so hard, but I relapsed again on Sunday and i got back to 0, now on day 1/14. I feel so broken but I'll try again, there must be a particular way to get out from this prison. My last trigger was a struggle with my wife that made me sad and when i saw myself alone in the Room, I PMOed all night long. Last night we sealed the peace, and i had a great night of sleep. Trying to survive for today.
I can hear you @Froger - 'Choosing community over privacy' is true and have experienced it first hand. It means investing in real people and relations rather than pixels on the screen. Yes, somehow I feel privacy is overrated today in such cases. Glad that you took step in the right direction
@davidbowie PMO feeds on sadness and loneliness combo. That does not mean that we cannot be sad, but like you did, the best way to deal with this is to man up and speak up instead of PMO and releasing it. I am also in the same boat. You have just read my mind somehow. Don't give up.
Day 2/14. I almost gave up yesterday night when I got up alone again and could not sleep, but I would not count that as a relapse. I tried doing pushups but did not help much . Lack of sleep and loneliness is a trigger.
Yh.. they are huge triggers. I have been king up at night recently. Maybe you need to review your bedtime and dinner diet and also have a night strategy or safeguard.
You can only begin to imagine what you've missed. But, instead of thinking about the past, think instead of all the brand new opportunities which will present themselves every time you deny that urge!! Stay strong in your fight!!
I messed up, and now I've lost my streak. I've still made a fantastic amount of progress though, and I'm going to go back to the 3 day challenge and work my way up once more.
