[14-CHALLENGE] THE FOURTEEN DAYS CHALLENGE !

I don't really know anything about apps because I've never got hooked into cell phone culture. My cell phone is a glorified alarm clock. I've been playing around with meditation off and on for about two or three years. When I do it, it is mostly concentrating on breathing. My monkey mind will constantly bring thoughts up, mostly worries or things to do. I let the thought settle and return to concentrating on breathing. Most of my learning for meditation came from Youtube videos and the book 'Mindfulness in Plain English' by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana. I will say meditation is helpful because I dwell on things less. Like, ten years ago, if something bothered me, it could bother me for three days straight. Now, I get over it in six hours or less.

And I agree with you. This NoFap thing can be hard going.

 

Two days done. It was tough. I think I'm over a hurdle for now.

 

3/14

 

Day 3/14.

10 days in total.

 

Approaching my second day

Just about to do something positive instead of thinking about PMO

 

Day 1 down.

I noticed a little bit of a chaser effect from my recent relapse. Wasn't too hard to ignore as work kept me busy as did reading and meditation. Hell, I even picked up a gym membership and did a few deadlifts.

 

Day 3/14

 

So today after 7 days into the challenge I broke my streak. I thought long and hard about it and came to the conclusion that it was triggered by the way I was misusing social media. So I start again but this time I'm also refraining from social media. It's definitely disappointing but there's plenty of positives to take... Anyways long story short it's back to day 0..

 

I have relapsed 6 times in 2 weeks. 14 day is really hard. The longest I have achieved is 10 days, it gets really horny after that, I started edging and before I know I was doing it. Felt really bad. This is day 5, I really hope to complete the challenge this time.

 

Day 6!

 

Day 1!

 

Day 4

 

Day 3. Am glad it’s a bit easier now.

 

4/14 done!

 

Done 7, going up to 8

 

Day 0

 

Made it 17 days. Guess that's a success, right? Alcohol is my biggest trigger. Go figure. Starting back at the beginning but feeling better this time around.

 

Day 4/14.

11 days in total.

Worried I will be tired and alone this evening, considering a swim to avoid issues

Just here feeling clean
