30 Day NO P-Sub Challenge!

Discussion in 'Events & Challenges' started by Fredi-the, Dec 27, 2020.

  1. I find keeping away from P subs is harder than keeping away from porn. Anyone who wants to quit looking at P-Subs (cute clothed girls, bikinis, etc) is welcome to join this chat. It will start in January 1st and end on Jan 31 and maybe continue longer if interest is there.

    Great idea! I'll join this challenge. I've been doing the 90 day no PM challenge but need to up my game to no p-subs as well if it's going to become a long term change. Thanks for starting this.

    Lately I've been trying to move to periodic check-ins rather than daily so I'll be back in about a week.

  4. Awesome. Welcome to the challenge. Its pretty casual here so just check in when ever you want. Good luck with no P subs in January, brother. Feel free to ask for or give advice if you feel so inclined. Cheers!
     
  5. One more day, okay 9 hours, until the challenge starts. Two of us on this challenge are also detoxing ourselves by giving up caffeine and alcohol in January if anyone wants to join us. Happy New Year, brothers!

    Let's go!

    ...though I must admit, I just spent 5 minutes browsing through some sexy music videos, but found myself too bored to look at any of them for more than 5 seconds. Still, this habitual browsing has got to stop. So let's make this month a clean one.

  7. Thanks, Terry.

    I did a similar thing last night as I was jones'ing for the last chance to look at some P-subs before this challenge started today. Serendipity prevailed and I never did see anything sexy after about 30 minutes of watching FB video feeds. I don't allow myself to type in any key word searches that would be risky since that would be game over if I did. So I just go with the serendipity of playing random stuff which shows up on FB video feeds. So I never got triggered and now here I am without that option anymore and am happy I am still on Day 95 instead of Day 1. I feel as light as a feather emotionally since I have promised myself I will not relapse on this challenge. I don't want to let my brothers and myself down.

    YUP, LET"S DO IT!!! Day one down! Thirty to go .... :)

  9. Day 2
    Doing quite well at avoiding P or any P subs since I am avoiding anything that triggers me.

    Day 1 again, I’m afraid. A curiosity got reactivated again. So far, it’s only been met with disappointment, though, so hopefully that awareness will stop the curiosity.

    Still going strong! How'd everyone today?

    I almost slipped up the other day. I was reading some history on my family name and came across a list of famous people with my last name. I noticed one of them had one several contests as a fashion model. I searched her name and guess what showed up? PHOTOS OF A FASION MODEL. DUH! I closed the window right away when I realized what I was doing. It's crazy how easily your brain can trick you into looking for p-subs. "I'm just researching history! This might be interesting" all the while knowing full well any collection of photos of a fashion model is going to include some bikini or underwear pics.

    I shut it down though! So far so good on the no p-subs challenge. I'm basically avoiding FB and Youtube (and random internet searches) altogether and being very careful with TV and movies. Those are the main things that might trigger me down that path.

    Hope you all have a great day!

  12. What is the curiosity you mention .... I am guessing something to do with YT videos?
     
  13. Well done buddy! Great self control.

  14. January 3

    I was not as fortunate as you Tim, I was feeling a bit lost last night and found myself watching FB videos again for the wrong reason - I was looking for a dopamine spike to snap me out of feeling lost. Luckily, it was only for about 20 minutes until I came to my senses and did not see any nudity. I did get a dopamine hit from watching mixed martial arts, street fighting and predatory animals attacking and killing prey, etc. videos though. Will call this a slip as it was random, not actively looking and didn't see anything significant that was sexy. I suppose if we are trying to detox our brains from dopamine, it would include these violent videos. The good news is I have not had caffeinated coffee or alcohol in 3 days.

    March on fellas....even if it's January.

    Sadly my porn addicted brain used the excuse to follow Terry’s relapse and I relapsed this morning. Sorry to let you down fellas. I am going to make the rest of January the cleanest streak yet in my history. That’s the goal anyway so hopefully I can do it.

    On day 5 of this challenge. I'm finding it very helpful to have made this decision as I'd been starting to drift into p-subs last month. So far I've been able to avoid them and it feels like a step forward. This morning, though, I've woken up feeling a little shaky and I'm already encountering some urges so I'll need to be extra vigilant today.

    Back to day 1. Huge relapse yesterday, worst day since September. Realised I was foolish for going into this challenge without a battle plan. Now I've been reminded I'm an addict. I need to teach myself the skill of choosing. Not relying on a site blocker, nor on the idea that I can just change from one moment to the next.
