The Lord of the Rings Challenge

I finished a three-day challenge today, and started the seven-day. I plan to stick to coming onto NoFap, being accountable with you all and with my counselor regarding PM, and making definite goals. I will do something daily that is in line with my values, as much as I can remember to do so. These tactics should help me stay free longer. Consistency is key, I think.

Onward!

 

242 days

 

Day 100 no PMO. Still feeling the effects of daylight savings. Online dating has been annoying and definitely has triggered me a few times. The last ten days have been a bit of a rough patch for my reset but I am looking ahead.

 

Congratulations on 100!

Day 325.

 

Day 3 complete!

@Themomentum I am thoroughly a novice when it comes to meditation, but here is a video which was posted in this thread a while back that resonated strongly with me.

 

Checking in on Day 103.

 

Checking in on day 2

 

63 Days - I sail the river Anduin. Some triggering dreams last night but luckily even in my dreams I made good decisions, so not feeling any chaser effect this morning. Remember to have solid plans for that weekend downtime!

 

Day 204.

Starting my 4-day mind cleanse today, which is being in front of a screen less than 4 hours total over the next four days. The primary usage of screen time will be for necessary daily tasks. I have allowed the movement of lustful energy to happen too many times as I searched the web, so I need to respond appropriately.

There are a million things I can do away from a screen. For instance, I am learning programming languages so in order to keep that going I purchased some books to look over during such times. Once you decide you will do something no matter what, your intelligence will explode if you don't allow frictional emotions to take over.

I wish everyone the best!

 

I watched this. Rinpoche makes great points. I have been meditating for somewhat over a year. I try to remember to do it daily. It has helped me a ton, in many ways.

Three days down, the rest of my awesome life to go!

My wife, our son, and I are moving into our house. This is my first house ever. I bought it with my wife when I was 50 years old, last month.

I finally feel I have arrived: I have a wife, a family, a house, and an occupation I love: making music; as well as several great hobbies-- including, now, handyman work around the property!

The future looks fantastic for the rest of my life. All I have to do is stay away from pornography. That would ruin our relationship, and my wife and I are screwed if we can't live together. Neither one of us can pay for this house alone. Anyway, it won't come to that. I am done with P, and maybe with M as well. We will see how well I can do.

Today, as always lately, we are settling in: unpacking and setting things up. We plugged in an antenna for the TV yesterday and got something like 180 channels (although quite a few don't really come in worth watching). We were pleasantly surprised by this reception! My wife has a Roku, but I forget where I packed it. Oops. I'll keep looking, and obviously it will show up. It's not like it could be anywhere but this property or the property we are moving from.

Well, thanks for reading, and I wish everyone health, wealth, happiness, and certainly success!

Thank you for the welcome! Checking in from Day 1.

 

Checking in. I have P temptations this morning, I think due to go to bed late and sleep bad.

Congrats!

St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.

 

Thank you, it helped me. I will do research on meditation and look more for it .

 

Day 1 checking in

 

Hey! Very quick check-in today because I am on a tight schedule.

Cravings low. I am getting better at noticing "Trojan Horses" before they make it into my inner mind. That's good.

I've been consistent with exercise this week. And prayer. I've fallen off on meditation and need to get back to it.

Feeling just a bit flat, but I know it'll pass.

Forward!
