No Porn 2021 Challenge [CLOSED]

One week check in. Not gonna lie: I’ve had some urges. But they become less frequent as time goes on. We can get through this year together, guys

 

A week of the first year accomplished, haven’t had any urges at all

 

Week 1 - completely P free. No P “alternatives”, no edging, had an urge this morning but quickly passed. Had a therapy meeting on Wednesday which really helped as well. Feeling strong.

 

I'm completely sure if I still qualify to be in this tier. The last two days were difficult, I ended up edging but stopping myself yesterday to some pages that are deemed sfw but had images that were racy enough for me. I wouldn't say I relapsed based on my personal goals but for this particular challenge it seems I did.

 

I failed once again @master3
to others - learn from my mistakes - please, finish the challenge.
I hope I'll be able to join you all in April and finally complete this challenge. I really need to pull myself together...

 

Day 8 check in, come on guys we can do this. To the others just don’t give up, come back in April

 

8 days of no porn now, but I have come across slightly triggering material online (pictures of scantily clad women) and need to be more careful with how I use the internet.

Edit: @master3 I think you should count me out from the challengers, I have not visited any porn site but my viewing of P subs online has crossed the line when it comes to my intentions and actions.

I'm gonna practice being more careful, keep going with NoFap and no porn and I'll join the challenge again in April.

 

We battle an addiction here. Be aware of that, so you can set up your environment the correct way.

First of all, if you were addicted to heroin, would you store it in your house, readily available, while you try to get rid of it? Sooo.. why do the same with porn? You try to willpower it all the way, when in reality, the first thing you have to make sure, is to set things up in a way where, even if you have a weak moment, you cannot get access to porn. Here is my suggestion: Install a filter on your router, change the password of the router to something like 56sd56_SDsd56df5D. Also, make a new account on your computer that has internet filters installed, that account has no admin rights. Admin account has the same password as the router. Write the password down on a piece of paper, give that piece of paper to a relative and ask them to store it in a safe location and not give it to you before june 2021. For the first half of 2021, even if you want to, you will not get access to internet porn. That's half the battle.

Let's go strong this year. Let's set everything up for success.

Btw: I put the piece of paper in a bottle, sealed it, drove 2 hours to a forest, walked for 30 minutes, saved the gps location and then buried it 3 ft deep. By the time I recover that thing, whatever urge made me get there will most likely be gone already, lol.

Will talk about the other half of the success requirements in my next report. Do both, and it will be bulletproof success this year.

 

I agree, I think I crossed that line. I need to be more vigilant from now on and mindful of what I'm doing online.

 

I regret to say that I relapsed this morning. I think it may have been from staying up late watching tv shows but I think the biggest trigger this morning was a sudden severe cloud of depression that just made me feel like I was a failure. It’s no excuse..not what I wanted to start 2021 with but hopefully I can join back in April.

 

Day 9 check in

 

My 2021 is going way better than 2020 so far. Haven't watched porn yet but I am going to reset my counter since I did M last night but without P. So i think I am still in Tier 1 in this challenge but I will reset the day counter because I cannot fool myself. My goal is no PMO even tho M isn't an addiction for me. The reason I did M was bcz of sexting with my GF. So I am going to stop that. I am sure that sexting will always lead to M so keeping that in mind, I will count sexting as a reset too. If I can get through this next week or may be two weeks without sexting I will be in a strong position then.

 

I also want to add that even tho M or sexting is not an addiction for me rn but I am afraid if I keep doing it , it might become an addiction soon. So I am going to stop it right now before it takes hold of me. P is out of question for me since I feel very little urges for it these days but it is M that I need to get rid of rn.

 

Yeah I suppose I was trying to hide behind technicalities. I will see you guys in April, I hope the rest of you stay strong.

 

Checking in for day 10
