    Day 15! I am on my way to Bree @RiseToGreatness ! I have found that I am much more on edge lately. I have a shorter temper and felt pretty emotional in the last two days. I associate these feelings with growth rather than struggle. I am excited to see what else this reboot brings.

    Day 1!

    Wish me luck on the start of my journey.
    I’m stuck in my room for a week because of covid and would make everything even harder. But what I wouldn’t give to be a knight of Gondor. Today I’ve was stuck all day in one room, but I’ve still manage to meditate, do some pushups and study for a couple of hours.

    Over the past few months of recovery, I've noticed a pattern where, similar to "fishing", I'm more triggered by whatever "triggering" material is out there if I'm looking to be triggered. It's a good reminder to always work on maintaining a mindset around good habits, healing, and recovery, not just avoidance.

    Wishing a smooth day for everyone.

    I´m not very good with words today, but i leave you with inspiration from the porn rebooter coach JK Emezi. Have a good day!!! :)


    "Brother , it took me 10 Years to learn this lesson...

    Hey Brother,

    Many of us are trying to end out out of control behavior with the ultimate goal of achieving something.

    Men who follow the Porn Reboot System are most ambitious, high achievers.

    Maybe you want:

    - The ability focus better on our career
    - A better sexual life
    - Clarity in our lives or our “purpose”.

    In my early twenties, all I wanted was to make lots of money, have sex with as many attractive women as possible and build a great physique to be admired by others.

    I felt that pornography stood in the way of these “important” goals.

    Of course, these were important at the time and served as great motivators.
    But, they certainly did not sustain my long term growth because as most high achievers who make it will tell you,

    It doesn’t take more than a year to learn how to date and have sex with beautiful women.

    Building a lean, muscular physique can be attained within a year as well.

    Making money can be challenging, but I was making a 6 figure income by the time I was 25- two years into my reboot.

    So what comes next?

    Every time I find myself “chasing” after something in life, I calm down and remind myself of something a mentor of mind once said:

    No matter how hard you work, how much control you gain over your sexual behavior, how much power you accumulate, there are three things which are absolutely priceless.

    Even the most wealthy and powerful individuals in the world cannot “hack” or purchase these. No matter how much wealth the Elon Musks, Mark Zuckerbergs and Jeff Bezos of the world accumulate, they cannot buy these three things.
    They are the great equalizers when it comes to happiness.

    - A Calm and Peaceful Mind
    - A Healthy Body
    - A Loving Family (this includes close friends)

    If you lack these three, working on anything else alone is more or less futile in the long run.

    More money will only solve your money problems.
    More power will only increase your Ego and attachment.
    More sex and sexual experiences will only feed your desire for more authentic intimacy.

    When you establish these three, you are free to enjoy everything else and will self regulate anytime you get consumed by money, power or sex- realizing that without those three important ‘equalizers’, nothing happens.

    At first, I didn’t understand it because my mind was clouded by my addiction. But as I rebooted, its became clear to me.

    Not “common sense” clear. But clear through EXPERIENCE.

    I quit binge drinking, “partying”, waking up next to random women from one night stands and got into a healthy, intimate, long term relationship.

    I started working on side project which fulfilled me and brought me satisfaction. That project eventually became The Porn Reboot System.

    I dropped all relationships that had nothing to do with my growth and surrounded myself with authentic, trustworthy, emotionally healthy people who wanted to grow and were genuinely happy for each others wins.

    Its not perfect, but for the rest of my life, I will keep working developing a calm and peaceful mind, a healthy body and a loving family.

    J.K Emezi"

    What day is it eve? I think it's day 43! Didn't feel too good the past couple of days and I think it was due to flatlining. I probably wouldn't find out without some comments on my video (Thanks Tits Mcghee and The Road to Self-Improvement). Somehow,,, it got over my head that flatlining exists. I mean, I knew it exists and that it gets bad but I didn't expect it to get this annoying as the previous time I flatlined... it wasn't this bad. Now that I realized that I'm flatlining I started to do some workouyts also to engage my body into doing stuff and I already feel just a teensy way better! Will see you tomorrow!

    Did you analyze the circumstances and reasons for failure? Did you write it down to learn from it and stop repeating?

    I think the flatline is good for you.It's a calm period before the storm of desire kicks in and tests your determination and preparedness.It's time to strengthen and rest.

    Day 0 no MO. I have not looked at porn in 11 days though I MO'd last night. I am not too bothered by it because it prevented me from looking at porn, but I am also cognizant of the fact that MO usually leads to relapse two to three days later, so I have to be vigilant. With that said, rules are rules for this challenge, and I MO'd even with out P, so I am an Orc again, though if I am an Orc of MO every 2+ weeks, but not an Orc of P, then I will be happy. However, my goal is no MO period, but I would rather MO than PMO. I am just excited to be 11 days without a relapse (PMO) even if I am at a reset (MO). I had a dream that I looked at bikini photos and masturbated, so I was happy when I woke up that I had not relapsed on porn or porn-sub. I have been super busy with school work for an incomplete that I took in complex analysis, so I have not had much time to look at porn or porn-sub, and so I have not. However, I will submit the rest of my assignments tomorrow and then I will have a lot more free time which makes me nervous. I have to come up with a schedule for the remaining time on my school break. I have plans to study complex topology with my housemate over the break and I will be doing a lot of math stuff, so that will keep me busy, plus I will hopefully be engaging in virtual tournaments with my local game store, so that will be fun. The goal is to go PMO free so that I can eventually become a White Wizard, but if I MO, then my philosophy is that it is better than PMO'ing or even looking at porn/porn-sub without MO. So I will not be super hard on myself, though I will be honest with you all on where I am on the challenge.

    Best,

    Day 1,

    Back to Orc and back in it. Hit a "what's the point" moment yesterday after some concerning news. We will see what the next round of tests have to say, I have a telehealth appointment next Thursday which should really give me an idea of what the next steps are going to be.

    Last night's reset was certainly a reset, but was not a binge nor was there any MO. Just sat at the computer with a eyes glazed over sort of attitude and went to some P.

    Getting back on the horse today tho. Thanks everyone for being such a great support network!
