*looks up... feels a change in the force surrounding Gonarth* Well done Resilience! Kudos for the cold showers... I have to start mid-warm and turn them down slowly.. When I first started NoFap, I skipped a lot of showers until I got my streak up. And every time I take a shower, even now.. I look at it like a challenge.. that i will overcome. Playing spiritual music while you take it can also help.
its day 39 for me tho... i forgot to count either welcome new recruits welcome to the real challenge bro - this is the way-
Day 49 Yesterday was really not what I was hoping for. I didn't do anything at all. Social media took it's power on me once again I just couldn't leave it, after I came home I spend the rest of the day on social media and let me tell you it sucked. Felt like a failure but I know I'm resisting and having this winner attitude. I'm usually on social media for 1 or 1,5 hours weekly. I just got frustrated over the course of the day and social media got the advantage of it. Not bailing down for this, I can't let it overtake my time. What happened has happened and we can't change a single damn about it. Edit: Oh I'm getting my "Flame-Thrower & Armored Boots" tomorrow, don't forget to update me @Wolfyoufeed , thanks
Cold showers are a drag. But I took one yesterday and surprisingly I didn't struggle too much. I wonder whether that will be the case today!!
Day 2 I rehearsed my relapse prevention strategy yesterday once and it helped me a lot later at night. I will keep at it. It is only through commitment that I am going to win. I have been planning to get a new smartphone with a six-inch screen. Yesterday, a voice in my head told me that I could now watch porn in my bed in 'super' HD. I am not going to purchase a new phone. I will keep the current one even if it is 3 and a half years old, is battered and has a five-inch screen...he he
Day 2 of the challenge in the books! (12 days personal) I've held it together really well this week! I like the idea @Gonarth of rehearsing. Almost like a fire drill. I'm going to incorporate that into my strategies!
Day 32 and now I remember why my longest streaks have always been just this long. Energy and libido are coming back heavy, but this time I won't fall into the trap believing that I'm now cured.
day 40 @Wolfyoufeed i learn that a bad thing will lead to another bad thing i was on 3 day streak of controling my sugar consumption, i want to try it and it feels good...but yesterday i was late on sleep (thanks mr youtube lol) and somehow i cant control my sugar consumption so now i will try to sleep early again and lets see how it benefit me
Day 2 Feeling great over here. I've had real problems with willpower and commitment over the last number of years. I feel good about committing to the Mando Challenge. I've even starting exercising again and trying to do daily walks in the city while at work.
Day 3 Day 2/30- Cold Showers Yesterday, I had a lot of urges. But I realized that the youtube videos I watched were primarily responsible for planting the seeds of lust. Therefore, I am undertaking another new challenge, 4-day youtube blackout. This will be by far the hardest. I am addicted to youtube and I can't seem to go for an hour without it. I have been able to go more than two weeks without visiting other social media platforms such as IG, FB, Tumblr e.t.c easily but not youtube. Yet, I think youtube might be at the heart of a lot of my relapses because of the content I watch and the suggestions generated by its algorithms. Day 0/4- YouTube Blackout
I missed a lot over the last 24 hours! You guys are all doing great!! Congrats to all the energy, really battling the PMO Enemy. Nice strategy’s going on, I agree with Resilience, the rehearsing routine really helps. Yesterday I realized I’m really learning to hate anything that triggers a unhealthy sexual desire. I now feel a strong feeling that somethings trying to control me when it happens and I dig in my heels. So your rehearsal will get to this point. I feel like I have a real “heads up display” lol... it just happened to coincide with the Mando Challenge... wild. @hollyman - oh yeah.. your body treats it like a drug.. at least mine does.. I substitute it with Dates or fruit, that way you can still have something you like... focus on what you can have, not what you can’t have. You’ve overcome it before Mando, let us know if you need support. I’m upgrading the Clan Armory! Go out and defeat the enemy and return with any weapons and armor you find. Save some for the foundlings This is the way! ——- Day 70 - *accepts Rising Phoenix and advanced Armor... targets enemy sniper with HUD... shoots flare gun to distract... flys up and uses grapple-hook too close some distance and lobs thermal detonator... Boom!*
It seems that in order for me to go without youtube I need to take a complete internet hiatus. So you guys in 4 days! Be strong!
Good luck brother! 33 days in the bag... I've still got this insane energy - feeling like an enraged bull but tired at the same time. Time to bring in some bountys .... cold.
Day 3 down(13 personal) Yesterday had a struggle. I skirted around. Didn't look up P but looked up things that were going to lead me down that path. I was able to avert. This morning can tell my mind isn't right. Implementing some strategies to focus up! Prayer, meditation. About to head to gym to get some blood flowing.
good luck brother walks is a great therapy too, u may take a note what u feel right know when u walks in the city (day 2) and someday when u higher on your streak u will find walk in the city is quite amusing today i have a great day thank's to god...i want to tell it but im so tired today,,,lets save it for another day stay strong fellow mando
Frustration and anger I feel my veins wanting to burst my chest wanting to scream my head suffocated by holding it all in. Been staying up late to do projects, took a nap but the house is not quiet and my feet fuckin stink.
