    Day 10, Happy 4th of July everybody. Hope you're all doing good. I don't have a whole lot of plans for the day, just glad I was able to get off from work. Yesterday was a pretty interesting day to say the least. I felt very angry and a little short tempered which I know is to be expected from staying abstinent. I have strong hopes that I will continue this streak as long as I can. It will be challenging but I love to challenge myself and this would be for the better anyway.
     
  3. Life has been amazing lately. I have stepped on a banana skin and realised some things. Again and again. My execution is not great though and there lies the problem. I am becoming distracted some times. Maybe it is normal. They say it is a human's trait.

    Let me know how you feel.

    What's more, I have seen you were mentioning the questions here and there. So here is a question to think 'bout. What will make you happy?

    @Saiyan123 I just almost relapsed. I found out a way to get around my porn blocker. I know that this will make me relapse in the future, what do I do?
     
  11. I don't use porn blocker but that is a problem. Install another one if that helps? Delete browser and use another device for internet you're less likely to use porn on. Good job not relapsing, you have more time between you and porn so more time to make a decision, freedom or temporary satisfaction. The choice is yours.

  12. Adding to this, I'd see a doctor if you can about your problem, not sure how healthcare system works in US but if it's cheap enough just make sure you're okay man. I just wanted to say I do want to see you hit over day 100, I see you as a person who's more than this addiction or someone who M's idk why. It would be cool to see the beast mentality x10 from a long streak. Well done on how far you managed aswell, you do 75 days easily whereas many struggle to complete 3 to begin with. I feel like you've improved a lot aswell finding a community, more channelled and monk like in the way you channel the beast and overcame many obstacles I'm sure. I asked you a long time ago, what is your goal and you said to ball. I think your purpose will be greater than that if that's what you choose also brother. The ultimate success of this world is no doubt defined as money but what then when you achieve that success or are even born with your parent's success of money. This is why there's a deeper goal I think anyway for many of us fighters in here.

    To answer your question about what makes us happy?
    As a collective society I'd say one of the major sources of joy isn't the achievement of a goal first of all. I think it's the journey, overcoming hard obstacles and looking back and saying this is what I managed going through. It's the story itself not the ending. Maybe an unrealistic goal should be set in our lives so we always have motivation to reach it even if it's unfeasible we will die trying and that gives us purpose. It's a difficult question on a personal level for me. One source of happiness for me lies easily in my families happiness, I don't hate them even though I might dislike them at times because they're my family. We see concepts of brotherhood and sisterhood all over society usually in a way to make money but we're all workers in some way towards something. The good results of a strong unit bring joy, same with a strong family which I'd say a lot of families lack because they lack certain qualities like money for example is a family stressor. I think what is important is a progressive society which we lack not because of our love of money but our greed of it. I don't think the capitalist model is wrong, but I do think there is a lot wrong with it like income inequality rising no doubt and how it is implemented is an unfair system. I think communities like this aren't there in the real world where people don't focus on fundamental problems or even discuss interesting issues (and if they do there is usually a prejudice) because everyone is playing the game of perceived life not real life. We have a whole virtual world solely designed to pry on our animalistic love of attention, competition and sex through likes and followers (they are used well here but I mean on social media) and instagram thots for example but the real meaning of them is pointless. To me we have a deeper meaning, this is my opinion on this. Pretty long read so I apologise.

  18. Here are some of the simpler ones, copy/pasted from my docs:
    1. When images of porn start building up in your head and you can't get them out, slap yourself on the wrist. To slap, make your slapping wrist limp and move your arm up, then flick it downward fast with a lot of force. The receiving hand should be palm up so that it gets hit in the same place that you would take your pulse. If it doesn't sting the first time, repeat until it stings.
    2. Listen to hype music, like youtu.be/fc1tg9qkGyI (go to 0:30 to see what I mean). Get angry about all of the damage that porn causes and the freedom that it steals. Then find something to do and get going.

    Thanks Saiyan.
    I have a porn blocker, but I can go to a porn site by using a Proxy.
    Oh, crap!

    Ugh, I'll have to deal with these urges myself.



    Checking in... Day 3
