    my brothers and sisters, i relapsed. i fail to follow my triggers plan and pay the price.

    i´m gonna take a break on nofap. i feel unstable on the last days and i think i´m trying too hard to get back on the challenge and that is causing me an extra pressure which is not helping.

    i´m also taking a break from fast dopamine spikes like computers, mobiles, tv, social media, etc.... I´m going back to older and healthier induced dopamine ativities like reading, cooking, music, gardening, puzzles, etc...

    i will only return to the challenge when i feel stable and grounded. not rushing, not trying to get anywere.

    as for you brave Fellowship, please continue your walk towards Mount Doom. when i return i will update everybody´s rank.

    See you soon, love you all :)

    See you soon @RiseToGreatness. Do what you must to throw that ring in the fire!

    I actually came here to thank you for this wonderful challenge, because I'm deciding to shift away from challenges for a bit.

    Take care for now! Best wishes always.

    All the best @RiseToGreatness
    Your challenge has kept me away from PMO the most in past 4 months. I have finally found a habit that i enjoy and helps me to not think about my urges at the usual time of that day.

    Day 8. Went well

    While it will be sad to not see your daily updates and motivational posts, you have to take care of yourself first and foremost. You made it 150+ days I believe, and I know that you can get there again and eventually toss your PMO ring back into the fire from whence it came.

    I am on 41 hours clean now, and despite considering MO’ing again yesterday, I was able to release the pressure and urges through breathing exercises. While I have 7 hours until day 2, my relapse to MO on Sunday was exactly what I needed to get back on the horse. I was peeking a lot the previous several days, and I finally masturbated which released all of the pent up tension and urges. While I know that it is not ideal, it was something that was building up for a while, and so I finally can focus again. I don’t want to make a habit of MO’ing every time I am over overly stressed, but doing that seemed to clear the dishonesty from my body, and reinvigorated me toward recovery (though not initially as I was drained after doing it).

    Next stop, Mount Doom (as well as to Urak-Hai status first)

    Best,

    I haven't posted in a few days, I've had a rough time. But posting here everyday and reading all your stories will help me a lot and maybe my posts may help some of you. We are in this together, dear fellowship!

    Dear Friends of the Fellowship,

    After a three month break and several major life changes, I am back and want to renew my commitment to defeating the venomous snake of pornography once and for all.

    Good luck and love to all.

    Day 17!
    Honestly, getting a coach/accountability partner was the best choice I ever made. Telling people about your problem not just on the net but face to face does help a lot.
    I'm still in the early stages but I can feel the difference. You can change. Stop telling yourself it is okay. It is NOT okay. You got this, we are all in this together.
