    @Mathman1994 I love D&D! I learned a lot from it, and it brought a group of friends together every time I played. I would play today if I had a party of people. Be vigilant though.

    I used to get turned on by the images in the D&D books themselves, images of fairies and things like that. They weren't even that provocative. I was just horny.

    D&D is not the problem, in my opinion. It's what we do with urges that always come up, no matter what we do.

    What else can you do to deal with urges when they arise? Visit NoFap? Journal? Look at your action plan to quit? The latter is my technique, as recommended by my counselor in working on abstinence from PM.

    Good fortune to you and all!

    @RiseToGreatness , so sorry to hear it, brother, but I'm overjoyed you're staying with us! I will try my best, with God's grace, to carry on in your honor.

    But I'm feeling cravings bad today. Lots of flashbacks to old fantasy scenarios and images of a sexual nature that are for me pornographic. It's coming in waves. They rock me until I remember why I'm here and what I've learned as both an addict and as a Fapstronaut. I feel like Peter walking out to Christ on the water: I can totally do it while I have faith, but as I begin to doubt, I start to sink.

    Checking in.

    I´m going to meditate about "Trojan horses" of PMO, they are a though enemy. Thanks to notice that!

    We are with you, stay strong @RiseToGreatness . You can have a live without PMO, that´s our goal and this treat is a great way to achieve it. I´ll pray for you. You have my sword.

    St. Teresa of Jesus and st. John of the Cross, intercede for us.

    Day 9,

    Some urges but playing it safe. I have reinstalled Warcraft 3 onto my computer as an outlet. I have not played videogames in a while, however, I feel that this is a lesser evil and a nice way to destress (especially because a game/mission lasts ~20 minutes). Going to observe how it impacts my other hobbies and habits that I intend to cultivate. If it is neutral/positive (I get my homework done, practicing the piano, running, and starting to draw) then I will keep Warcraft. If it is negative then I will reevaluate.

    Happy Sunday Fellowship!

    Checking in. Happy Sunday! Sundays are transition days for me, where I leave being a single dad and enter to just being a single man for three days. There's always a lingering sadness, but also the break from full-time fatherhood is pretty nice as well. I have a full day planned to keep my mind off the change--taking care of the body, mind and soul.
    @RiseToGreatness stay the course my brother, your work here is felt by us all!

    Hi brother, sorry, you can´t be part of this journey on those conditions.

    starting streaks above 250 days are not admissible in this challenge. if you want to start, then pull back at top to 250 days, the stairs of Cirith Ungol.

    Checking in Fellowship ;) i missed saying these words :D, just 1 day has passed but, man, this seems like a scene from the Walking Dead :D

    thank you all for your messages of support dear friends, i wasn´t expecting anything less :)

    You Fellowship are the true force of this challenge. now i don´t feel i´m carrying you, i feel you´re carrying me :)

    i slip again yesterday, a kind of a laziness slip. my wife went out to the park with the kids, and i was downloading a movie and didn´t want to shup down the pc to hand over the battery, (as this is part of my triggers prevention system).
    10 minutes after she left, i conjure an excuse to slip and it was done :rolleyes:. again, just 1 time, no binging.
    today i experience a sense of fishing on youtube, but i shut down the browser before i was triggered.

    so 24 hours has passed. 1 day done ;)

    still not feeling in the mood to boost anyone or upgrade, because i don´t very entitled to do that (please bare with me :D ). but when i feel better i will upgrade all the members, don´t worry my Fellowship :)

    for now i just want to be an anonymous member. Have a good day :)

    I relapsed again.I had a wet dream last night and today I had a incredible amount of desire to pm. At least I could make 21 days :)
    @RiseToGreatness I've seen that you relapsed as well. You have a strong character bro. I'm sure that it's a one time thing :) Keep strong!
    and also I'm orc again :D

    To avoid your triggers cook for others and invite your friends to share your meals and maybe watch a good movie like Hobbit together.
    Do you have a lot of good friends?

    Day 3 check in!
    It is starting! While I still have the Orc blood flowing in my body, I reached and actually passed the first 3 days, which are the most important for the brain to catch up to the information. No more "maybe I can start again tomorrow" as I already reached a 3 day streak!
