  6. Day 12 complete. Was able to go to daily Mass this morning and I spent a lot of time with my family. Nearly urge-free, very grateful for that after yesterday.

    @Ciceron That is my absolute favorite work by Clamavi De Profundis! The song posted by @Slider8 is also excellent.

    Blessed Michael J. McGivney, pray for us!
     
  7. Demote me @RiseToGreatness
    I fell hard this time. Life has been stressful and I was too weak to the PMO forces.
    I will regroup and come back stronger.

    Stay strong @RiseToGreatness !! the dark clouds will pass
     
  11. Day 19!

    TFed:
    1- Meditate: did it again today, felt great. Challenged my excuses and reasons for PMO while doing so, just sitting with those thoughts. Great stuff.
    2- Stay accountable daily: check
    3- Study about the reboot: idk if I would really call it studying, but just posting here and replying to people in the new members thread is good enough practice for me.
    4- Take cold showers: check! Once you learn to just sit with feelings during yoga, you can kind of do the same with cold showers: it is cold at first but that's ok, just stand there, feel the cold water, allow the feelings to be there and just don't give a hoot ;)
    5- Challenge daily your excuses to pmo: check
    6- Follow a triggers prevention plan: check!
    7- Get occupied. Work in your hobbies and dreams: check.
    8- Practice physical exercise: check (I am lifting 5 days a week, yoga every day and rope-jumping every other day), did my first double-under while rope jumping today :D
    9- Eat healthy: check
    10- Sleep well: check!

    Day 11. Definitely feeling some sexual energy return this morning. I was planning on being sexually active through this challenge but I am wondering if I should complete a 90-day rest on hard mode first. In my last reset on hard mode, I made it to day 45 and then met a girl and had sex. I would curious to see what your suggestions are. 90 day reset on hard mode or actively seek out sexual partners?

    Well, it depends what you feel. Im trying to do a hard mode reboot (day 11 btw), because when i do sex i feel a lot of mood/energy swings in the next days and that causes me a lot of suffering. Only in hard mode i really feel good and stable for consecutive days. so this is my path at least till 90 days.

    But its up to you bro :). If you dont feel any side effects after sex, maybe you're good to go. Reflect and take a decision, but whatever path you choose stick to it. Onward!!!

    Nightmares can't get you bro. What matters is the waking state. If you feel solid you're on the right path :)

    Hang in there my brother, we're with you!!
