Great job man, on my 11th day here, so we're fighting the evil power of PMO together, we can do it!!!
Well, I am still a student and there is enough work to do. Most of the day i am home alone trying to study. But i can't keep the productivity the whole day, so that's most of the problem. But it's a great idea for later, thanks!
Considering the point of keeping productivity going, I am as problematic as you are. Especially last five days since I joined the challange I had to crush massive urges while studying, I you ever find a solution to that please share with me Btw DAY 5; tommorow, I am no more a worthless Orc but a worthless Uruk-Hai
One day clean on my Birthday. Yay. I have been soul searching a ton these past few days and I have decided that Nofap isn't something I really want to do. However it is something that is good for me. Like brushing my teeth, working out and eating appropriately it is something I need to do, even though it is unpleasant. My goal of becoming a good person demands that I don't chase after any fleeting pleasure.
Yeah, I hear you. It isn't something you really want to do yet. I can't speak for everyone, but I have got to say that I am quickly becoming addicted to the NoFap lifestyle. Relapsing scares me. I love not looking at P and not lusting and staring at women with lust anymore. I like myself so much more now than when I am looking at P and M'ing. So I think eventually it might happen that NoFap might actually become something you prefer, even though you find it challenging now. Anyway, Happy Birthday @Zapy97 ! Hope your day is awesome.
Thank you @archie.hill, I am now one day clean, and I woke up to a text from this woman I met on a dating site. She felt bad for not texting in half a week, but we may be video chatting for the first time this weekend, so I am very excited. I have tried getting clean for a couple years now, but I now want to get clean not only for myself and you guys, but also for her. I don’t know if anything will come out of this with her, but I like her and she likes me, so we will see. Additionally, Today I told the house manager/minister at the place I live that I am a porn addict and he was very empathetic. Did not demand to know if I had looked while in the Christian house, which I was very thankful about, and he said that he too used to have trouble with porn and dopamine cravings and that unfortunately it is a very common, seldom talked about disease. He did not say he was an addict, just that he understood how hard it can be to deal with the feel good surge of dopamine from looking at porn (doing PMO). I was terrified of telling him, but he asked how I had been and I had been down due to PMO, so I was honest, and he was empathetic. So glad to live in this house. My one friend/roommate that I met here is going back to South Carolina for the month of October/November, so it is going to be a lot quieter around here without him, which is sad. But I will see him again in late November/early December, so that is good. He just has heart problems, and his doctor said he should leave Madison for a couple months because catching COVID-19 could be lethal for him, and Madison has the highest rates in the State of Wisconsin right now. So I will have to continue on for now, without my closest roommate friend, but I know that I can manage despite that. Best, Mathman1994
Day 11. The road to healing is long a strenuous. I can't tell you you'll have a good day every day. Some will suck, on some you will not want to do the things you need to do. What I can tell you is that it leads to a good place. It will take you through some places you don't want to be. But it also starts from a place where you really don't want to stay. As Churchill said, if you find yourself going through hell - keep going! Stay with me, brothers.
Day 4. Today it´s a day to say: Happy birthday to @Zapy97 ! The best present you could make to yourself is praying, staying strong and finally becoming free of PMO. I hope you´re having a good day.
