[90-CHALLENGE] THE NINETY DAYS CHALLENGE !

Haha thank you! It's actually not my real name, just a fun nickname someone gave me once that I really liked. So, I guess YOU are the cool one here because that's ACTUALLY your name!! Way to be awesome!!

 

I 100% agree with this! Relapses are an unavoidable part of the learning process. They will almost certainly happen on your journey towards getting free. Although possible, it's very unlikely that anyone simply quit porn cold turkey and never relapse.

@chiyu you haven't let us or yourself down. The critical thing is actually how you RESPOND to your relapse. If you choose to examine what happened, learn something about yourself, and then get up and keep going, then you have succeeded in taking another critical step in your healing and freedom journey.

day 37/90

I fell off the no caffeine bandwagon again. This morning hit me like a ton of bricks! I made it 6 days with no caffeine at all, so I'm confident that I'm making progress in this area. I will get back on track tomorrow. This is a bit of a backward slip, but I'm thankful that it isn't as bad as PM or alcohol. Overall I'm in a much better place than I was a month ago.

 

Today is day 44. Focusing on getting in shape, walking more and not eating garbage

 

Hey @potso I appreciate it, thanks man. It's great what you are doing, keep going and my best for you and everyone in this challenge, that we all succeed!

Checking in on day 36/90

 

On 12, feeling no desires lately

 

Hey guys,

Here’s my daily check-in. Day 3/90 and I’m still going strong.

Quick realization I had today while I was at work. I work in a hospital where beautiful woman are plentiful.

Most men would say that it’s fine to look at and acknowledge a woman’s beauty.

While I agree with this, I do feel that staring, almost in a creepy way, and not taking a step to say hello or initiate a conversation can ensnare us and lead to a destructive cycle.

What am I saying here? I came to the realization that as I would go about my day I’d encounter many beautiful women,?notice their beauty, and allow myself to stare, fantasize, and not take any action! Each time this happened, I’d begin to experience emotions of guilt, shame, low self esteem, etc.

The solution? It’s not practical to approach and speak with every woman you find attractive and some situations, such as at work, you need to exercise a great deal of caution. What I decided to do to resolve this issue is to not allow myself to look at a woman for more than a couple seconds. Notice her and if you want, go over and say hi and talk to her. If not, redirect your attention and focus to some task you’re working on. This will build self discipline, improve your focus, and eliminate a downward spiral of negative emotions that so often lead us to do something we will later regret.

Hope this helps someone!

Stay with it, and remember, Your life is worth fighting for! You got this! Keep making good choices each moment and we’ll make it to 90.

Cheers,
Lamboskovich
