    Days feel like they're going slow. Some days it's harder than others, like always.
    Keep fighting.

    Day 86.

    In many respects our day counters hide much of what we have been through. I see overall progress and building of strength even if you have a low counter number. I see you, my brothers and sisters. With every streak, even just a little longer than the last, your brain is learning to live without P. This is good! Be proud of your progress because it is there.

    well, maybe you shouldn´t push yourself. the best way and easiest way is actually to make your path very clear, it´s still hard but it´s clear. so in a nutshell:

    1- consider that you have a serious health problem, an addiction. therefore you need 100% commitment to break free from this. an addiction is not an habit. you got to see the addiction as cancer. break free from it or it will break you apart.

    2 - stay commited with the Fellowship or an AP. accountability is crucial to keep the reboot going.

    3 - check all your triggers and take counter measures for everyone of them, all days and all hours. don´t loose energy in risky situations, the more you fight against yourself, the more vulnerable you become.

    4 - perseve. learn from your slips, relapses and mistakes, and keep going. this is not a fight were you KO your opponent. this is about taking hits in the face, falling, rising again, and defeating your opponent by exaustion. forget about winnings, this is about enduring.

    5 - be honest with yourself. everytime you feel a emotional trigger (sadness, boredom, anger, hurt, urges, etc) talk with yourself. be honest that you are triggered, but instead cope with those feelings in constructive ways. develop skills to cope with hard feelings.

    6 - create good habits and engage in them daily.

    this is a brief summary but i hope it helps :)

    sorry bro, if that´s your choice you can´t be part of this challenge. The lord of the rings challenge is for "no porn, no masturbation".

    Thank you again @RiseToGreatness and all the fellowship here, may heaven's blessings rain down on you during whatever sacred wisdom tradition festivals, you practise, this winter.

    Checking in
    No PMO - 3 Days

    I had a very good day today -
    - eating well to nourish and replenish after MO 3 days ago (Vitamin D supplements, coconut lime pineapple, beetroot, leaft greens and dark chocolate),
    - exercise, gardening, visiting elderly family members
    - feeling very good (which is strange for day 3 as usually I get major withdrawl about now)
    - cooked a good meal this evening and then started doing Day 2 activity from Freedom Fight:
    - List all the lies you tell yourself about P
    - Write down the counter argument for each of those lies
    Well that last activity literally awoke the beast again - he must have been just lying there waiting for me to feel more and more confident before striking, but this exercise drew him out and the urges arose like a tidal wave inside
    - started to enter an obscure search term with the secret hope it might throw up a trigger and looked at some thumbnails which thankfully had nothing suggestive
    - stopped
    - came onto this forum
    - read your comments again which really provide a great sense of solidarity and camaraderie
    - I have never relapsed, or M'd, on a day when I post to this forum first - this & the panic button above are some of the most powerful of all weapons available
    - stepped back off the ledge again
    - continuing my Freedom Fight activity
    - came to this line "Confessing to God is not enough; we need others for healing"

    So here it goes guys - the lie that part of my mind tells me is that fishing is harmless, because it can happen with any search term anywhere. But that is me lying to myself, because I am hiding the true secret intention of fishing, to relapse into P and act out. That is what that part of my mind really wants and fishing is the gate to get there - despite what I said in an early post. So I have been lying to myself and in some way here too, so forgive me. I now commit to stop fishing full stop, and ask myself before I google anything - what am I really looking for, and why?

    One thing I have not lied about is how I count this fellowship as a group of friends, truly. Thank you all again, thank you.

  16. Yesterday I relapsed unfornately. I was on social media and advertisement show up and I wasn't counting and it were there some naked models. That triggered me to watch porn and everything happened.

    But in other hand I reach 2 weeks with NoFap. The last time that I reached that time was a long time ago.

    I must continue!! I worth more than this!!

    Let's continue brothers and sisters!!
