The START 2021 STRONGER Challenge [CLOSED]

Checking In
Staying clean
Wife to airport this morning.
Six week hard mode begins.

 

How we doing guys? The weekend is upon us. I know for me this is a tough couple days to contend with. I suggest that here, your journal, or even on someone else's post or journal you explore your feelings a bit.

State your intentions.... ( NoFap). State your concerns ( Relapse). State your plan. Unfortunately, passive rehabilitation may not be enough. It's more than "not looking and not touching". Plenty of self talk and head games to deal with along the way. But, that's why we are here.

 

I finished configuring my computer and smartphone to restrict some websites. I set Monday and Friday as free days so I can check some sites like this forum.
I firmly believe that if I manage to master my digital consumption then I will take a big step to overcome my addiction to porn. Obviously this is not all I need but it is a great trigger for me.

 

Sounds like a great plan. Changing your environment, access to that environment is a great start.

 

@heX10 You're in, brother. Welcome to the challenge.. I sincerely wish you the best in the next few months. Be the man you want to be!

 

This was so much harder than I thought. Temptation built up all day long. Once in the grips of the moment of no return ....

Now I understand the aftermath feelings.

BC I take my strike and recommit to the challenge.

No PMO Hardmode to October 31
No PM beyond.

Start a routine that keeps me busy and healthy
Go to the doctor to check my sanity
Mobile phone docked away from bedroom

 

Day 8 Check in!

 

This is what I would call an anxiety relapse. About the third week of july my wife packed up and went to Houston with her mom & dad for a week of cancer treatment stuff. I was alone with the boys and working from home. A lot of pressure. It was Sunday the 19th. Check my journal. I didn't make it through the day. Maybe 4 hrs max. I pmo every day they were gone.

In Germany I was on day 19 and flying back the next day. I relapsed. Stress/anxiety.

Give yourself a few minutes to examine your feelings. Get a grasp if it right away and wake up with 200% intention to make it one day. Just get through tomorrow. Then do the same thing tomorrow night. Reflect, commit to a fap free night. Wake up and go one.more.day.

Good luck.

 

Thanks BC. As you know, I follow you and respect your words.

as it was happening, I could hear you yelling STOP. I recall very well your trip to Germany. Staying busy, productive and recommit is crucial.

 

Day 0

Hey guys, I have a relapse to report. I could not get to sleep and basically threw in the towel without much fight.

 

Sorry to hear that brother. Next 24 are vital to be deliberate about everything you Dom. Don't sit in one place too long with no purpose.

 

Well, you're in then. Check In when you can and I wish you the best of luck and strength to be a winner in the game of life.

 

36 hours until the challenge closed to new participants. Should I extend it until 01 OCT, leaving 92 days for late-comers to still get in their chance to reboot90?

 

Sorry to hear that. Updated to two strikes. I sincerely hope you can recommitt to yourself here. Best,
BC

 

N-104. 104 days remain. If you have not joined you can still qualify for the Hall of Fame and the LEGENDS tier.

If you are resetting today, shake it off. This is the deal....we are here to make a change. That means we are currently a tough place with ourselves and our personal situations. Do not dwell on mistakes, but take them and learn from them.

EVERYBODY here wants the same thing. 90+ days. Tier 1 Reboot. EVERYBODY here can do this.

Decide right now.
