The Lord of the Rings Challenge

I had a close call today too. Need to be more vigilant and avoid triggers.

 

Day 6

 

Day 40 @RiseToGreatness

 

Day 6. Uruk-Hai again.

 

Day 1 Completed Successfully



You just might have had a past trying to do this. The reason why I say this is because many men reading this book feel that quitting porn is a priority…but the truth of the matter is that they only kinda want to quit porn. They do not want to completely stay away from it. If you still hope to watch it someday ….if you're that type of guy, you can stop right here because this book will do you no good.
This is for men who really want to be done with their out of control behavior. Men who want to have sex. Men who want to have an awesome sexual life, without pornography and compulsive masturbation ruining it

All the best brothers

 

Day 12

 

Well I relapsed shortly after which sucks. But onwards and upwards, we must take the ring to Mordor! We've got this!

 

Thank you so much
I understand pain is an important factor which if not managed may lead to relapse
And i m working on it
Very much
Thank you for the video will surely check it

As for my fellow companions in LOTR challenge today i opened my books after such a long time and was able to work for 6 hour

What is helping me is this
1) Meditation (30+minutes)
Something i learned in guided focus improvement meditation
We should always remember that distractions (family conflict, toxic friend/ relationships etcetc) have one thing in common that is they are always deviations from priorities ie things that matter most

2) if you are like me ( which i hope you are not lol) and suffer from excessive ruminating thoughts leaving you in never ending why and what if and if only
Then you should indulge in meditation, climbing, balancing (=gymnastics) that involves cerebellum (coz in ruminations your sgPFC ie prefrontal cortex (space bw cerebellum and cerebrum) has hijacked DMN default mode network( something that controls thoughts while you are resting (like normal daydream) so you need to reduce hold of your PFC on your normal passing thoughts

Good luck everyone

 

Thanks for all your support and guidance RiseToGreatness!

Day 17!

 

I'm officially reaching the day 2!!

The best part of my day is when I check your stories here guys
Watching you fight give me more strength to resist day by day

 

Starting out day 9.
Yesterday got many urges and I nearly relapsed.
Even yesterday I got a dream in which I mast*****. But woke up and came to reality.
Till day 7 I didn't get much urges and thought I was in control.
But now it feels difficult.
Today I will try to keep myself busy.
If I get urges will come here to distract myself.
Hope for the best...
