    The goal here is to finish 2020 strong, that is for sure. I did not mean to be negative, but I guess after decades of failure, I am always thinking of a "backup plan."

    To never use porn requires us to create a life, a person, who does not use porn. This is how I see this challenge.
     
  3. I don’t have anything inspiring to say but I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I didn’t masturbate today. I owned my own success. I made the right choices. Today I am in complete control of my own sexuality and it feels like freedom. It’s time to make things happen, my success will come because I chose to resist, even when I didn’t want to. Success will come because I was fed up with not living up to my potential. Success will come because I choose to change my behaviors and thought processes so that I could set myself up for success. Just wanted to share with you all how I’m going to succeed at this challenge.

    Am I too late to join? Or too far in to join? My last PMO was on 28th August, so I’m already over three weeks in, but I don’t want to go back, and I’ll do what a I can to get through this. And I expect there to be some tough times to come.

    What is my heartfelt reason for wanting to stay clean?

    I love my God
    I love my family
    I'm trying to love myself, I have a good diet, workout regularly, practice hygiene, allow myself time to relax, trying to do well at my job.

    When I engage in pmo
    I let God down
    I let my family down
    I let myself down

    Each time I resist I get stronger
    Each time I don't give my brain rewires a little

    How the hell am I going to go the rest of the year without going into a chatroom or engaging in masturbation?
    1. My iPad is completely restricted with parental controls, I can only visit Nofap, Wikipedia and a spiritual website, just three websites that's it.
    2. I have the digital detox app on my android phone. This app is great because it takes over my phone, prevents me from uninstalling and will only allow me to access certain apps that I put on there. So I can access my banking app and whatsapp, my calculator, notes etc etc. To quit the app and disengage the detox I have to pay the app developer £20 which is a lot of money.
    3. I will read from my holy book every single day and pray every single day
    4. Everyday I will do some form of excersise, this is a habit now so this is something I will just continue
    5. In the evenings I will take time to relax and destress, I will keep my lights dim, I watch good films and tv dramas, I will read books, spend time with friends and family, in person or on zoom and just chillout. I will create a to do list for the next day.
    6. In the morning I will spend a few minutes reading something positive, pray, then have breakfast. Then start on my to do list.
    When the urges are overwhelming I will get up and walk around, breath deeply and focus on the tension within me, then do something good for myself, drink some water, go outside or something like that.

    I hope you all have a type of plan, a plan that's not hardwork but enjoyable.

    In the past I would have this mindset
    1- get up 5am
    2- go for run
    3- cold shower
    4- journal for 20 minutes

    You get the idea. I truly admire and respect people who can keep up a lifestyle like this, but I can't. It always led me to relapse.

    PMO is an enemy and like all soilders and warriors iv found it beneficial to have a purpose and a rough plan as to how I'm going to defeat it each time it attacks me.
     
  9. It sounds like you have a solid plan. You can do it! What is the longest you’ve been able to go without PMO? My longest streak without masturbating is 99 days. I was able to get to 99 in March of 2019.
     
  10. You inspired me, brother. One more day - we got this!!!
     
  11. Added You both. Welcome to the Challenge. You've been added to LEGENDS tier since you started before 22 SEP. I truly hope that you can continue your current streaks - you're both already doing so well. Congrats. Good luck, strength be with you.

  12. Agreed, @Steppingintotheunkown you know what you gotta do - and you have an addict in you that is going to kick, scream, and fight every inch of the journey. Remember who is in charge, brother.

    Hi. Count me in. I am not sure if this is how the thread is joined because I am new to the website. If this is not how you join the challenge, kindly let me know how to join. I have been watching porn for 6 years now I am 20 years old. It is my 1st day today since making the decision to quit and I am hoping to complete this challenge in the legends category. I wont be posting much because I want to keep my mind away from even thinking about quitting porn so that my mind is completely off the thing. However, I will post updates . Lets do this!

    Day 1

  16. This is awesome. Be intentional.. Some tough moments are ahead, see them coming and try to work through it as it happens without feeling "blindsided".

    Day 9 - horribly stressful work yesterday but stayed clean last night and this morning. I think I'm over the worst of any potential need to find relief in PMO from that. Just kept reminding myself that going to PMO would make me feel worse after the fact. I can image in my mind that picture of the PMO process and it grosses me out now. Stay strong everyone!
