The first week is the most difficult?

Yeah I usually relapse around day 4.
I once locked myself in my Walk in robe for a few days with no light and enough food. It was a really good experience basically disected my thoughts, feelings and attributes really got my soul and mind on the right path for some time. But as the victors say " consistency wins" so gotta have a plan of action and stick with it

 

I find it too be, can't get past 2 weeks atm for a while. Came back on the site to get back into shape. I need to beat this thing. Want to be at my full potential all the time

 

Yes it is for me. I would have to keep myself fully occupied with other things and not let my mind wander.

 

The funny thing is I used to go for weeks without PMO with no problem bc I’d be busy with life things and too exhausted or preoccupied with other things. Then the minute I joined NF I became an obsessed lunatic craving P. Like my brain panicked or something. Suddenly it was all I could think about. I had nightmares every night for the 1st week where I’d wake up screaming for help. Then I was afraid to turn the light off at night and go to sleep so I’d stay up all night bc I knew the nightmares were coming. The 1st week was awful. Even so I don’t regret it.

 

I just made it one week and I can say for sure it was quite the challenge. Due to the fact that I live alone and don't have many opportunities to be distracted it was through sheer willpower that I pulled this off.

I'm just curious what the future will hold

 

Agree

 

First two weeks are the hardest for me, then it gets usually easier.
Starting at week 4 urges come and go in waves, abbout every 5 days, but not that strong as in the first weeks.

 

First weeks are hard, but it pays off

 

Days 5-7 for me the worst then its more autopilot after that i agree

 

Yep. Most of my relapses happened during my first week or, to be more precise, during the first couple of days of a new streak. I think part of the reason why the first week is the hardest because it is easy to rationalise like “You’re just losing a couple of days. It’s not even really a streak anyway”. In my experience, the longer I go the easier it gets especially after the second week.

 

First week was the hardest on my first try. Now it is not that hard. But yeah, like someone said day 4 seems to have mystical powers over us!

 

It's all difficult tbh
