[90-CHALLENGE] THE NINETY DAYS CHALLENGE !

no problem, another time to build that strength

 

You got it! be very strict with your eyes and mind, remind yourself why you are doing what you're doing and that its only temporary, nothing lasts forever.
Unfollow the social media accounts and clear all that out, i even unfollowed friends who keep posting very revealing photos.

For the emotional pain, maybe there is something you are not content with and need to find an answer from within yourself. Feel the pain and ask it why its there. I'm doing this for myself right now which is why i understand what you're going through.

Once you find something that you realize maybe you don't like what you did then you need to promise to yourself you will never do it again and keep to that promise. Say something like "if i do it again then i will refrain from etc etc for this long."

In Islam, if you break your oath to God then you need to fast for 3 days (no water or food from sunrise to sunset & only eat and drink after sunset), not consecutive days.

 

Day 42

Hey buddy! This is a text from "Gifts of recovery" book.

“The wound is where the light enters you.” –Rumi
We are all wounded. It is important that we acknowledge and work to heal our wounds. When we ignore our emotional wounds, they fester and the emotional infections come out in our behaviors and interactions. In 12-Step meetings, we hear many stories about the damage our fellow addicts have done when they have not liked themselves, did not believe they deserved good things, or automatically placed themselves above or below others. These stories are examples of emotional wounds being expressed. However, by acknowledging our emotional wounds (which can be scary) and addressing our emotional wounds (which can be painful) we allow for healing, not just for ourselves but also for those around us. Sometimes this healhealing comes from direct actions, such as making amends to others for our past behaviors. Sometimes this healing comes from indirect actions, such as intentionally or unintentionally modeling healthy behaviors and interactions. When we acknowledge and address our emotional wounds, we allow the light to enter.

When have I denied my emotional wounds? What has been the cost to me and others? What gifts await me as I acknowledge and work to heal my emotional wounds?

 

Day 25

 

Good thoughts, brother! Thank you!

 

Thank you for sharing this!

 

Day 1

 

Day 71/90.

Good day. Had a good time talking to a woman. It's interesting, about 10 minutes into the conversation I'm talking about my struggle with porn. She asked about the book studies I'm part of and overall I'm becoming way less ashamed, (just to clarify still ashamed) that I'm trying to recover from porn. Better than hiding from it and acting like the self righteous hypocrite I typically am. *shrugs*.
