Day 4! Still feels like cheating seeing as I have the libido of a wet mop, but this is the furthest I've gotten during lockdown so I'll take it! Starting to feel very slightly better, but this is a weird infection. For a few hours between mid morning and mid afternoon I feel totally fine but once 2 or 3pm rolls around I gradually start feeling worse until by the time I'm going to bed I feel totally rotten. However! I'm making progress. I had the strength to do my first proper workout in almost a week today! I didn't break the bank, and only did one set, but it's a giant leap in the right direction. I can only hope I go from feeling alright for a few hours to feeling alright every hour of the day. Good luck to everyone on this journey, I'm rooting for you.
I had a really successful month and then relapsed and completely fell off the wagon. I haven't been on this website in ages. Here's to trying again from scratch- day 1
Good luck! Remember to figure out your reasons for relapsing and do two things. Firstly figure out how you can change your life to make that reason less of an issue (eg if you relapse at night because you can't sleep, come up with a better night-time protocol for when you can't sleep) but also figure out the rationalisations you're making to justify that relapse and come up with counter arguments. If you relapse because you can't sleep, the reason might be "masturbation helps me sleep" and the answer would be all the higher level goals you accomplish by rebooting "...but masturbating will also [insert your reasons here]". It might take a bit of trial and error to accomplish, but that's the best advice I can think of for a veteran who fell of the wagon but wants to get back on. I know because I used to be and in a way still am one!
Welcome brother . Yes, you´re a Grey Wizard now heading for the secret passage of Cirith Ungol. The travel is long and full of perils so beware. Let´s go!!!
agree, the two first weeks are the hardest. but also beware that after that, you still got to stick with your plan and continuing boosting your life. if you slack in your reboot system even for a day, the addiction will have no mercy upon you. be careful, be sharp my brother. One day at a time.
yes, it´s been so long that i think i erased you from the challengers list . Accountability bro, you need to stay accountable. You can´t do the reboot alone. Addiction feeds on isolation and secrecy. Keep in touch wether with AP´s or the forum but don´t stray away. That´s very dangerous.
Excellent, one more brother that starts the journey . You got the ring in your hands my friend, now let´s go to Mordor climb that mountain . Onwards!!!
One more day of walking in the snowy Misty Mountains my brothers. Here´s a powerful testimony of a brother who was ceptical of nofap
