    NoPMO - Day 01
    Productive Days from that - Zero

    I overslept and get up at 10 AM
    However I walked the dog, worked out at the gym and worked for about 5 hour on my applications.
    Also I ate healthy, drank a lot of water (and only water) and did cold showering.

    I don't count this as an porductive day, mostly because I didn't get up on time and have no time to read anymore.
    Yet, I feel good!

    Day 7. First 3-4 days was murder. Last few have been easier than I expected, but I don't want to be lulled in to assuming it will stay this easy. It's only 7 goddam days, and, it's my first serious attempt at killing the addiction. But, so far, so good!

    The process I had for PMO was likely more complex than most folks. I had a VM on my PC, which separated all of my activity from my "real" PC. No need to be diligent about hiding tracks, stashing files, erasing browser history, etc. It was brilliant. Since I destroyed everything associated with my process, setting it up again would be time consuming and require effort. Yes, I can do it in my sleep....BUT, somewhere during the process I'd probably come to my senses and stop. I'm fortunate that I refuse to PMO on my main PC. I also have never used my smartphone. I'm old, so, I'm a PC guy...LOL

    Watching a few Ted talks on youtube helped a great deal as well.

    anyway....that's it for today.

  5. @Sante364 Never heard of using VMs for porn :D It's good that it creates a sort of front-line defense for you - it's easier to abstain from spinning up VMs than from porn.
    @recon117 Oh no, the leading man is down! You did really well and set a good example for others. Don't give up, this time you'll do even better!

    Day 8.75. Doing better than I thought I would. Feeling pretty good. Woke up this morning feeling like I used to in High School. That's a good sign. Until this week, I never gave my body a goddam rest.

  12. Welcome @tangoalfaromeodelta!

    I think we all have the capacity to complete the challenge and a part of that is getting over the tumultuous first week. In 7 days' time I'd love to see the Rank 0 section empty.

  13. True that, first days are always the difficult ones, and where I usually slip and fall.

    This time I can reach rank 1 in the challenge; if I let myself go back to pmo, I would have failed NoFap and my own goals.

    Almost day 10 for me. Rough morning. Wife just left for the gym. Home alone. Time on my hands. My usual PMO time.

    NOT gonna break this. In my 40+ years of almost daily PMO, this is the longest conscious period of time without it.

    Going to hit the gym, shower and go to the office.
