The Lord of the Rings Challenge

then you got to find another way out. don´t leave this subject untouched bro, instagram is a major gate to relapses.

 

very good bro . Keep going!!!

 

of course, there´s an old proverb among addicts that summons it very well:

"when you feel like give up, remember why you started. because when you started all you wanted was to be where you are now"

 

what do you need to become 100% resolute? what belief you still hold favorable to pmo? expose it to the light bro.

it´s very important to keep the determination high because when the bad days come, you can stand your ground.

 

no bro, not at all. there´s a connection in our brains to everything. you just need to create new connections. if you see some triggering image by accident, just turn your head away, and keep doing whatever you´re doing. then you´ll create new pathways in your brain that says that "lust is wrong. i will not engage in this"

now if you start fishing, that´s a real problem, because you´re already on the road to relapse. but even when fishing you can still stop, the sooner the better. then completely change your activity, do something to cool off, something that doesn´t envolve screens (since screens induce dulness which will make you wanna go back to the peaking excitment). so do something completely different, go outside, do some workouts, talk with people, etc really change your environment.

and of course reflect what caused the fishing in the first place, and what part of your triggers plan you crossed. then change your strategy to prevent that from happening again. i hope it helps

 

well, then stop using your phone. or at least create a tight schedule to it. you i will feel much better and block yourself from harm´s way

 

One more day done brave Fellowship .

in the morning i tend to be better and more fresh. but after lunch i have a big drop in energy and brain fog appears, that´s the worst time for me. social anxiety also triggers around that period. but oh well, i think is better to go through this and actually feel all the negative impacts. that way i will think twice before entering another relapse/binge period.

The following brothers have upgraded and reach places in Middle Earth. Congratulations!!

Besides the Tara Brach "pause" method that helps to deal with emotional pain, there´s also the 3 minute breathing space meditation. it´s a short but very effective tecnique to cope with hard feelings. give it a try brothers and sisters, it does wonders. and it also reduces urges



Have a great day Companion!!! Onward!!!!!
