I want to be porn free and free of masturbation! Im going Hard mode for 90 days to renew my mind and strengthen my body! Im all in!
Day 1. If I get any cue to watch it or the feeling. I just block my phone straight away, better restrict ourselves forcefully rather than controlling.
Hello,I've just relapsed. Thus I am starting this new challenge. I have reset all my counters and now I will attempt to abstain completely from all PMO during this month of July. Here is my strategy: - Stop drinking water after 8pm to not wake up early in the morning and have the chance to fap. If it does happen, I will do 10 pushups on the spot and that should calm the urges. -Nothing more. No fantasy, no porn, no edging, no masturbation, nothing. -30s showers and cold: to never have that opportunity to fap in there again. PUSHUPS! -Every time I have an urge, every time I feel depressed, any time when I feel that I can relpase, I will drop down on the floor and give out as many clean pushups as I can: to get rid of the energy that is causing the urge. It may be 10, 20, 30 or more but it will be enough. I trust it. every single day, I will come here and I will write one post in the mroning talking about my feelings, my experiences, what I want to do... The only time I ever managed todo anything was when I came on this forum allthese years ago abnd you helped me out. This communtiy is awesome and it is the way I will rpevail/ So every day I will write a post, and every day pushups and WE WILL GET THERE TOGETHER AND WE WILL NOT STOP! Thank you so much, have a nice day, My name is Victor, I am 17 eyars old and thisis my joruney!
I plan on no P,M or O whatsoever. So in other words, Hard mode. I plan on making it to at least 90 days and then evaluating from there. But based on my experiences with PMO, I don't really think I wanna go back to porn. As for having sex in the future, I'm really not sure yet. Its too early to say. My main goal is become a software developer. Beyond this, I also want to read at least 12 books this year(I've already read 9), establish a daily meditation practice, work up to eventually doing a full workout routine 5 days a week(right now I'm doing two sets of dumbbell curls a day and gradually building up) and ultimately move out. I'm doing this because I want to take control of my life. I want to stop feeling the shame of being a fraud to myself. I know the kind of person I want to be, but I am "casting votes" towards the kind of person who masturbates as James Clear describes in Atomic Habits. I want to start casting votes towards being the kind of person that doesn't miss a workout, that takes time out of his day to slow down and meditate, and work towards his dream of being a software developer. Day zero, let's do this.
So, July 12: Todya was okay, I avoided temptations and I was great at not giving in at all. The sky was clear but who knows when dusk will fall and crowd my vision: giving way to stormy clouds and blinding obscurity. Let's all fight together! Vic, Thank you. Day 1,5
Day 2 of personal journey. Didn't get to start the july challenge when july actually started but being able to say i got to the end of the month is motivation.
So, I had an incident yesterday and I relpased. Thus I am strating again. In the future I'll try to go to bed quicker and keep all electronic devices out of my room and I'll fight off these temptations even more.
I feel your pain, the bedroom is my biggest trigger as well and pretty much the only place i PMO , so keeping electronics as far away as possible at night + falling asleep faster at night has really helped me. I hope it helps you too.
