    It is day 17 and I have not had an urge today. I have implemented a new habit to journal twice a day once when I wake up and once right before I go to bed. It has worked today and it is tailored specifically to help me where I am weakest.

    Thank you for coming clean. It’s not easy. It takes guts and strength of character.

    And you’re a better man because of it.

    Solid!

    Latest update: Day 35 - Entered the cold Misty Mountains, the Hithaeglir.
    Didn't sleep too well past 2 days, so I went to the gym and tucked in early yesterday. I usually believe that nofap side effects are mild at best and we just need to man up and ignore them, but damn sometimes they hit hard and in a very tricky way. I had 3 wet dreams! Woke up each time because by now these feel like nightmares; although I don't fault myself for having them. This was followed by a dream with my ex (recently broke up) and a friend who betrayed me. They were grilling me about the mistakes I made during my pmo days. These mistakes haunt my life everyday, and this was the icing on the cake from this set of what i consider to be nightmares. I woke up freaked out, felt like someone was deliberately fiddling with all my weaknesses to make me fail. Luckily first thing I checked was nofap and I stumbled upon two motivational quotes. First was someone who has been reading a book about inner struggles. The gist of the quote was that we lie to ourselves so much sometimes that the lie takes over our lives. I'm not doing it justice but it perfectly reflected the pmo journey as we neglect important aspects of life. Second was a Rocky quote stating that success in life is not about how hard you hit, it's about getting up after you've been hit. I take responsibility for my pmo actions and mistakes during those times, and I'm happy to take punishment to recover and correct my life trajectory. So I felt very good after reading those quotes, my nofap streak is still very clean. It appears my resolve to cut out pmo is strong, and it keeps it simple to avoid pmo. Stay strong mates! Regardless of your situation, find yourself and fight!

    Day 9. I missed yesterday, which frustrates me. But, other than that it was a good day. There were times I felt frustrated at all the things pulling me in different directions but all worked out in the end.

    Day 33. I like this number. To be fair I've liked every number since 1. Every day is a good day, brothers. Choose the light!

    Day 77. Week 11.

    Felt just a little bit of “energy” while sleeping last night and right when I woke up that stirred up some urges.

    It was unusual, since I mostly feel depleted, since I have PMO’d so much for 30+ years, with the last 20+ being on the internet, and the last 10+ on my phone.

    Honestly, I’ve felt like most of the last 77 days of PMO free have been too easy. Maybe because I’ve been so depleted that there haven’t been many strong urges yet.

    I feel like as time goes on, my vitality will replenish causing the urges to awaken.

    I’m going to need to transmute that energy into healthy and productive avenues.

    I feel like that is going to be the real battle for me.

    Day 19. In a little over 30 hours, I will be 3 weeks clean from PMO. I have not had any urges since last Saturday when I briefly fished before I snapped out of it and I have have been doing well since. The woman I was talking to online who I freaked out on, did respond with a long, scornful message, saying she was creeped out and overwhelmed by the freak out, but she still wants to talk to me, so there is that. After I posted on here yesterday morning, I calmed down, and I had a good rest of the day. I am going to back off from the online dating scene for now though, although I am not going to delete my account as even if I had completely self-sabotaged with this woman, I hardly know her, and I do not owe it to her to be all self-sacrifice. She said something similar, so although I was not expecting to hear from her again, I am happy that I did, and now I am taking it extra slow.

    Even when I made it 33 days without porn, I still fished every few days, and looked at nude photos even if I did not masturbate and I snapped out of it. However, since I made my new game plan, I have not even gazed upon a nude photo, and other than briefly looking at a busty woman last Saturday, I have not even looked at porn-sub or lusted after anyone. I am very proud over that, and in four or so days, I will have made it my longest yet without masturbation (at least since my pre-teen years). Technically this is the longest I have gone with out looking at nudity or porn-sub of a semi-consistent basis, in years. And even with my fishing last Saturday and finding the busty woman, I have never been off of the page so quickly since before I realized I was an addict.

    Best,
