man, i don´t think that´s wise at all. why test the waters? you´re sober for 11 days, that´s a small acomplishment for an old addiction. even old and sucessful rebooters they still have their porn blockers active. don´t put yourself in dangerous situations. your mind can put you in the path of porn in a blink of an eye. see like this: there´s a hurricane outside your house bro. you may leave the door unlocked... but it´s not worth the risk.
61 days my brothers, personal record . proud of myself, not just because of the number, but also for the quality of the streak. never have i reached so far in such pristine conditions. i never touch myself and i peaked nudity only 3-4 times, for a couple of seconds. this is a great breakthrough for me, since in previous streaks i watch much more nudity and even softcore movies. in this streak i get even more deep in the sense that lust is wrong. nudity beyond art or fashion is wrong and should not be exploited. i also learned that is important to continue learning as much as you can about the addiction and the rebooting process, which is a humility lesson for me since i got a little cocky before and thought i knew everything (maybe that was one of the reasons why i failed many times before). i learn also that the words "never" and "forever" should not be use or applied in addiction recovery. my only task is to not screw up today. tecnically it doesn´t matter how many days i am sober, that doesn´t protect me at all. i learn that good habits are more important than willpower. and it´s the good habits that makes the streak stand together in the long run. usually i would be afraid now because this day would be the first day in uncharted territory, but honestly i´m not afraid anymore, i have a system that backs me up (health system, sports system, triggers system, meditation system, hobbies/passions system, etc...). i´m not waiting for nofap to transform my life, i´m doing it right now. Let´s go my brothers. tomorrow we may fall, tomorrow we may cry, but not today, not today!! today we raise our head and say: no pmo.
Thank you for sharing. I loved to hear a part of your story and thank you for your readiness to help. I'll be giving updates. All the best and much success. Cheers.
Day 9 = No Porn. Day 1 = No PMO. Here we go. Worked til 10pm today. It sucks, but at least I solved the situation with my work schedule for now. I need to check if I can deal with working until 10pm though. For now I'll survive. Yesterday I had a major urge to PMO after my earlier MO relapse in the day. However I managed to shift my urges, or diminish them by doing self talk exercise, which I learned from Universal Man. Very effective and it worked. That time, it lasted. Didn't have to worry about it for that day anymore. However I had some difficulty falling asleep due to my sleep difficulty and on top of that, some annoyingly loud Tinnitus that is most probably linked to my congestion and cough. And some misterious TV is playing in the middle of the night UNTIL 5 AM, somewhere far away but audible. Asked around the building who it is, no clue. SO I had a really hard time falling asleep. The urge wasn't triggered though, because of my self talk earlier. Sometimes it can work wonders. But I still felt like shit and still do now as I write this lol. I'm gonna take a shower now, instead of PMO. Maybe you can take something out of this that helps you, whoever reads this. Have a good day! Keep up the good fight. I'll keep updated. Cheers.
that´s my boy . Let´s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right back at ya buddy! You got this to the end now you're on new ground.
First off Day 34! As for Porn Blockers - I have not used a single one - maybe they are ok to start with - BUT this shit is everywhere, if you can't trust yourself to make the right decisions and not search for porn yourself, porn blockers are not a good strategy long term - FOR ME at least. Same thing with everything else - I can buy alcohol, cigarettes at every corner, hell I can even get hard drugs pretty quickly if I wanted to. I don't want to though and thats what makes it much better. So fuck that site blocker and just trust yourself, maybe its going to be harder in the beginning but you are going to be better and stronger afterwards and the feeling of accomplishment you get after you see that you can do it all by trusting yourself is great! Peace out and keep going!
Day 1/90 This is my first day, and I am committed to checking in everyday for the next 90 days. Again, I am iterating on the three strategies that I am taking to prevent myself from masturbating 1. No electronics in bedroom ever 2. Workout everyday 3. Hold my breath in case of emergency I think the first day was easy, and I know it is going to become harder. Let's go!
