Impressive! I am at Day One. (Record 381). Good to be here! The first DAY is always difficult for me. Congratulations, Force Majeure, on the 299! Honestly, since ending my streak in December it has been so difficult to get back on the path. The simple thought of this forum made the difference last night, knowing that so many people are struggling (and succeeding) with me. Thanks.
"Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation." Saint Augustine Love this quote! Thank you Euphorios! It is interesting to me that with every bad habit I ever had, it was true that it was easier for me to abstain totally than try to regulate it incrementally. This is true of drinking and smoking (said goodbye to those two 35 years ago), and to some extent, eating. The only time I actually lose significant weight is if I go back to Weight Watchers, which is analogous to to an alcoholic going back to meetings. It is only when I track everything I eat with specific goals each day that I stay conscious enough to keep it up. I have to remind myself of all the learning, growing, and emotional advances I made during my year long Jerk Fast. I can do this. I must do this.
question: I wanted to update my Day Counter to include porn AND masturbation. I can't quite see how to edit this. Can this be done, or do I need to simply delete it and create another?? Found it, thanks!
1/365 I start this group as I rather join others doing a challenge then doing it alone. I started my own thread called vow to my wife. But I found that I also like the interaction and being with others helps. Unusual for me as I usually figure out everything alone or like going myself. My vow is this For one year I will not Pmo but also not chat which is a weakness of mine. I will live any sexual encounter only with my wife (I never cheated but do consider Chat now as taking away from us). I will further try to stay abstinent for 2 weeks at a time.
1/365. There maybe a long road to reach 365 but if you keep fapping, after 365 days you will still have a long road in front of you. Keep your eyes on the road and the challenges you face in order to overcome this addiction don't count the days dude don't don't
My first day after a relapse was not easy but I survived all the negative effects of pmo. I want to find motivation to do this challenge. Why I want? Today I can say I want continue because I put passion in my work and I want to put this passion in my life
Well it is literally one day at a time! I’ve gone very long stretches before and I know I can do it again. But I have to admit that half the reason I was able to get through last night (day one) was because of this forum and the accountability I felt to everyone
Wow. 2 days left. I cannot wait to see you that you will be reaching 1 year without PMO. So amazing bro.
