THE 100 DAY SPARTAN CHALLENGE (OPEN)

Checking in: Day fifty-one.

 

Merry Christmas to you Brother! I appreciate your achieving the God of War then coming right back here, starting over, and sharing advice with us.

 

Day 4

 

Entering day 5 of my 2-week Christmas break, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.

I've never once felt bad about spending my days alone. I've had zero depression or anxiety. No temptations whatsover to do P, M, or O. No desire to consume large quantities of food and material items.

I've drank alcohol twice (6 beers and 2 shots last night!), but my desire for it has greatly diminished.

Yesterday, as I was driving back home from yet another adventerous day along the nature trail, I was filled with an acute sense of peace and gratitude, and I thanked God for my new life, for my newfound sense of joy, energy, strength, and purpose. Corny as this sounds, I got really emotional about it and briefly started tearing up. I am just so thankful that God, friends, and family are helping me change my life, in such a short period of time.

Just 2 months ago I was sad, angry, and depressed, and I never imagined that on December 25, 2019, I would be feeling so good about life. I never expected this. What a blessing!

During the past 4 days of my vacation I feel like I have blossomed into a "people person": I have met with two friends, been invited to meet with another friend (who wants me to meet his soon-to-be fiance), and I have met 2 people along the trails and 1 person at the shopping mall--all 3 of them random, complete strangers--so I can say that I've connected with more people in the past week alone than than I did over the past several years of my Christmas breaks ...combined!

This Christmas morning I'm up early, preparing for yet another outdoor adventure, on my mountainbike, with a backpack, in fresh air, and in nature. I'll be spending my day exercising, exploring the beach, getting a tan, reading, and swimming in the Gulf of Mexico.

I'll have to bike several miles just to get to the beach, and I'm already a bit tired and sore from yesterday's off-road mountainbiking, and last night's drinking, but I'm excited to get out there and and see what life has to offer today. I have no time or desire to sit around and watch TV, eating and drinking.

Merry Christmas Spartans!

 

Day 1 completed..passing via Day 2...Day 1 was extremely difficult , with a lot of fantasies and urges causing me to have strong erections and maybe a little precum...but i did not give in to them and did not touch private part at all , and even though temptation was strong i did not give up to prevent relapse..basically , the fantasies that annoyed me are the same ones that had caused me to relapse.....

 

Thank you for sharing Congratulations on overcoming your temptations. This is growth, and I hope that you feel peace and strength from your accomplishment.

 

*nods in your direction*
Well done... change those images/fantasy’s into something you hate.. until you hate what causes you to fall.

 

Checking in Day 10.

Merry Christmas ya Filthy Animals!?!
(No one take offense, it’s from Home Alone. Stay strong my Brothers!)

 

day 70 check in. Merry Christmas everyone.

 

Day 46 really struggling with sadness over this Christmas period I feel so lonely but I'm determined to stick this out as this could just be withdrawal symptoms @Kratos_GOW can you update my rank please

 

*comes to battle by your side*

 

Spartan Soldier. Good job! Stay strong.

 

Day 4 is almost over.

I’ve felt a few minor urges but focusing on the fast made it easier to deal with.

I am still on the fast, decided to do the Dry fast. I’ve done 24 hrs dry... I might see if I can do 48 because after a period of tiredness, I feel really good.

Over and out Spartans

Side note: @Kratos_GOW can I get put on the roster?

 

Day 2!!

 

Merry Christmas to you and thanks for sharing this post. I hope everyone will take time to read it. You have shared so openly and honestly. And we can all benefit from your sharing. Congratulations on such a big life change!
