The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Day 42.

 

Day 7

 

16 days <3

 

Day 12 complete! My best streak in years. Soon I'll be a hobbit! Thank you all so much for your constant presence and support.

@uGes I know exactly what you mean, about they way it feels like you have no conscious control, it's all happening without you, and you can never fight because it's all over before you can even think. I spent years thinking that way and it was so frustrating because I could never get more than three or four days. The thing is, we have to be blunt: all those little things we tell ourselves to deny our behavior are lies. They're excuses, man. Every time we fall there are a dozen tiny little things that could have gone differently but we choose to ignore them because they're so easy to ignore. The process is hella uncomfortable, but the first thing I had to do was own up to it. Whenever I fell, I had to look myself in the mirror and say that I did it. It was me. I'm the one who gave in to PMO. And you know what? If I can choose to do it, I can choose not to do it. Our brains are good at tricking us into stalling with the details. Once we accept that we're locked in a battle, directly and personally, we can begin to leverage our willpower and determination to rise above the actions of our bodies.

 

Day 6

 

28. Almost back to elf

 

Day 42! Forgot to post on Day 40:

I try to pass through Caradhras but the PMO forces were strong there. I make a detour to the Dwarven Realm of Moria.

 

Day 34. The urges are getting stronger but i dont want to give up.

 

@MyGodandMyAll27 This is right about the time you check out from all things electronic, and work on filtering out the thoughts. Replacement of thoughts is easier than trying to suppress them. Close your eyes and remember all the thousands of other things you did in your life.

 

Day 88.

"Your body is here." It is not in some fantasy world in your mind.

 

I'll do it , thanks yes you're right supress them can be dangerous cause them will become stronger . thanks for the support

 

One day from Hobbiton! Let's keep it up!

 

You're right. Small goals are much easier than big ones. I have lost a little bit of faith in myself lately. I hope he comes back. I found this great post in the forum yesterday. I think it will help me a lot. Blocking porn on all devices. Give your willpower an aid! Easy streaks

 

Go on with this! We are Proud of you!

 

Thank you brother!!


I think I will do a dopamine detox in the next few weeks. One or two days a week.
I found a post in the forum that helps me build a super strong barrier. If anyone else is interested:

Thank you for your trick!

I can agree with you there. When I am on the road with my van in another country, without internet only in nature, I don't feel the urge to go there. I will try to allow as little media influence as possible.

By the way.. awesome streak bro! I will get there too!

 

day 2

 

TITLE - ORC
Last streak - 3
Total PMO - 143
Goal - 6 days
Day- 0/6
I was unable to resist the urge to watch porn and did it. I won't be doing any binging that can make me more addicted to porn and waste a lot of my time.
