Accountability for All

Just the usual advice - keep yourself busy, get out of the house, be around people. Maybe cold showers if that works for you ... hope you can keep it going, you're doing great

 

yeah man, thanks! i already take cold showers on a daily basis. i dont even remember when was the last time i took a warm one, probably 3mths ago. and yes, ill make it a point to keep myself busy as much as i can. thanks again!

 

Day 88,

Once i hit day 90, i'm going to fully stop counting and start focusing on my improvements, focus on eradicating the urges, start playing my ukulele more often because it makes my mind not even think about pmo and get into more animation as much as possible. I've made it this far, there is no turning back..

 

Day 3 check in, urges are high but am fighting back

 

Checking in day 0.

Ive been really struggling with PMO and my head is telling me its okay going back to it every 1 or 2 weeks after a lapse from an 8 month streak (longest to date), but thats my addiction talking and id like to get back into pmo recovery asap.

I will be checking in for some accountability as Ive got to get on top of this addiction.

 

Guys, need here an advice.
Really 've been pushed myself the whole journey (was on day 76).
Had a surgery on monday, and had a real pain afterwards when urinating. (it wasn't connected to the surgery at all). Asked doctors, did some tests. they said, they don't why i have pain, cause all the tests are fine.
I've had this pain for 3 days since. really been struggling. So I came to the point, when I couldn't stand it anymore. And just randomly had a thought, maybe it cause of NoFaP. so fapped, pissed afterwards. And finally NO PAIN. I wasn't prepared for it. IT WAS REAL HARDCORE PAIN.
And now I am bit stuck. I've done such a journey, but because of this stupid surgery and pain fapped.
Need your opinion.
Should I start over?

 

Checking in Day 1 for some accountability - handing it over to my higher power as im powerless of this addiction. We got this.

 

first of all, congratulations! you reached 75 days which is a BIG DEAL.
i'll say DON'T start over. there was nothing much you could do here. you didnt fap for pleasure, you fapped for relieving yourself from the pain, which you did.
one more thing: if you start over, you can get yourself stuck in a relapse cycle.. people generally tend to do this after a big streak ends.

 

Yeah, I think you can get a pass here, just don't make a habit of it! Otherwise, keep up the good work, you're doing great. What is your long-term plan regarding your streak?

@smv94 you've got this!

 

Thanks @yrjyrj and @Prison Mike for the support.
But I feel, as if I cheated still, cause M is M. So I flipped a coin) I'm starting over
That's not a big deal.
Thanks @yrjyrj for making me aware of the cycle.

 

Actually, there was no long-term plan. I just wanted to feel more confident. that's all. And I sorta was really serious about it.

 

aight, nvm. you can do this, you've got this!

 

saying hello at day 0
ive had a couple good 30+ day streaks this year, but failed to go over nine days since august.. this week has been particularly bad for me as i relapsed twice.
hence why i came here. i want to finally be free from this, any help is appreciated. the longer my streak grows i will also be happy to give back to this community ... but until i reach day 10 i dont feel in charge to give any help or advice

 

yesterday a porn-pic popped up out of nowhere when i was surfing the web.
didn't see the entire pic. just saw half the image when i noticed that the pic is sexually explicit and scrolled up immediately.
trust me, i was not looking for porn.
but i feel very weak now.
i will try to forget it now..

 

Let's go @yrjyrj you've got this!

 

yess!

 

what up squad????!!!
@Prison Mike ,@strength_09,@corylife and @hiddentaurus ????

 

Get ready for Not Nut November, guys!

 

@yrjyrj thanks for checking in! Your post was at 4:18am Eastern Time, that made me look at your profile, wondering where you're from - India - that's awesome - New York, for me.

I'm doing well. No amazing streaks, but also no massive relapses (meaning, multiple relapses / many days in a row). Joining this forum really helped me, it gave a sense of accountability. In general, I'm feeling pretty good. I still have plenty of room for improvement, however.

I hope to hear from everyone else soon, post up! Also @matt2k12 @smv94 @Manhoodman and anyone else I forgot.

 

heyy, thats nice! how's the pandemic situation there? (its fucked up here)

thats a huge improvement from fapping multiple times a day! keep going!
