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. Stay strong brothers!
Day 1 complete! Today I moved back to my apartment, away from my family, in preparation for my last semester of college. It's always a shock at first being back on my own, especially since I was with them for a while this winter. I'm reminding myself firmly that even if I do feel lonely, PMO is not a solution to that.
Checking in for day 10. Altogether, I'm doing alright. I am grateful for the things I still have in life.
Day 40. Checking in. Feeling good today. The stress from the previous week is slowly subsiding and my cravings are no longer as strong. I am looking forward to reaching the halfway mark to my 90-day no PMO
It has been so long, mate. I'm not sure anyone is taking into account the toll isolation is taking on young peoples mental health. I'm isolated and have been so for ages. I know a tremendous number of young people who are in the same situation as well. We're throwing people under the bus.
Day 28 is behind me. 'The PMO forces were at my tail but I crossed the Ford of Bruinen, leaving them behind. The House of Elrond is in sight!' Day 29 is in progress! Going to focus on not being alone for too long, since this has lead to many relapses. Not feeling many urges, but I have a strong feeling this will change in a couple days. We have to stay strong. Much love everyone!
Checking in. Tonight I had a bad and PMO-related dream. Congrats! You´re on the way. St. Filippo Neri, pray for us!
Day 2. Today is sunday a day to glorify the Lord and a day to do my best , yesterday I didn't work out this cannot happen today it's imperative that I work out today. Yesterday at night I had a so stronge urge but a I started to think on my motivation and then I started to pray and let the urge thoughts come and go freely until I finally got sleep. Thanks for all your support brothers and sisters. God Bless you all. Saint Joseph Pray for us!!.
Thank you for this post! We've always had love for ourselves within us, and we don't have to attach our self-worth to something external.
Day 69! Nice! Creating a small little story inspired by Gandalf's fight with the Balrog! The energy needed is colossal, but I have faith!
No shame. What can you learn from how you coped with your situation? The next time you feel like that, what can you do to lead yourself through that feeling before letting the urge to PMO take over?
No the $97 a month is not a content filter, it is a recovery program similar to the old NoFap Academy and the Universal Man. The goal is to go without content filters eventually which means dealing with the underlying issues that lead to porn use. It has a really high success rate, and focuses on learning about yourself. I got a discount and my house ministry is giving me a further scholarship so I am only paying $27 a month, but the philosophy of the program is that content blockers are safe, but not wise. They do not prevent you from search they just make it harder. The wise thing is to lean into the conflict and to not use porn because we do not need it.
that seems to be a common effect on brothers. everytime they upgrade to hobbit and begin their journey, the next day it´s always very struggling, in fact i have seen a lot of brothers relapse on the first day being hobbit. i wonder why?
