Hey buddy sorry you also had a setback. I know, it sucks. I guess all we can do is take what we've learned and do better next time.
HAPPY "ALL SAINTS DAY," EVERYONE! (That's us for doing this difficult journey) Day 34/90 no PMO Day 4 no FB video scrolling (often has porn subs) Day 646 attempting this challenge Global Counter 95% (no PMO) since joining Day 228 weight training (M, W, F) Lifestyle: reduced caffeine, alcohol and sweets
After a long telapse that included, pmo plus hookup sites and many attempts and many failures in my nofap journey im back to try again. Day 1...1 day at a time.
Day 9 Have a great week guyz! I just realised it is already November haha maybe we can jump on the No Nut November train )) Just knowing maybe a lot of people, even if casually, are trying NoFap for a month helps!
This is day 35 of 90. I joined this forum 365 days ago. Of those 365 days, I spend 324 days without doing PMO.
Oh, I would hardly call myself an expert, because this has been my longest streak for 2020 so far. However, I can tell you what has lately been helping me to improve a lot. Basically, it's that I've been regularly (as often as possible) thinking about and repeating the type of thinking that is outlined very well in the meditation below. This particular video is not what started it for me, but it's a great introduction. The point is that porn addiction is our brain making an error: we connect the idea of PMO to pleasure, something nice that we can escape to when we're stressed. But in reality, it's a huge waste of time that leaves us feeling frustrated and insecure. So we make a mental mistake, that has been ingrained by years and years of routine. Now what I've been working on is that every time that my mind clings to the fiction of PMO (the idea of pleasure), I stop and remind myself of the reality. So as soon as I get an urge, I try to picture as clearly as possible what will happen when I follow that urge. This really helps to reject the urge completely. It's something you need to think about regularly, so that slowly your brain gets rewired to think about PMO in the right way.
Day 13/90. Had a wet dream last night. It was related to staying up too late watching a tv show I really like which is normally okay. But the girls were wearing bikinis and it was affecting me because I was feeling upset and isolating myself. So today will probably be hard. Every time I have a wet dream I need to be careful the day after.
I have done quite a bit of edging, I managed to stop before I O'd. It's not a relapse for me, but will have to start again in this challenge. Day 0 (PM)
Day 35/90 no PMO Day 5 no FB videos (has porn subs) Day 647 attempting this challenge Global Counter 95% since joining Day 229 weight training (M, W, F) Lifestyle: reduced caffeine, alcohol and sweets
Day 11 - 2/11/20 - 8:59pm Today I woke up after an amazing sleep at 6am but my brain told me that classic line which I fell for. "5 more minutes". I got back back into bed and woke up 90 minutes later. This is a mistake I make very often and sets my day on the wrong path. I usually make this error after 3-4 days of getting up at 6am and then slip into a couple of days of late wakes. Will get back on board tomorrow. Urges were minimal today, got a decent amount of work done but not the deep work on the important tasks I look for.
