The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Oh I agree- I'm not saying that Bilbo didn't struggle, he did 100% But he did give it up in the end. Overall though, I just meant Hobbits are by far the most resilient when it comes to the power of the ring. (I agree it's an excellent metaphor for addiction)

 

9 days done.

I really want to masturbate after my shower today. I am in the moment and half of me cares while the other half does not. Maybe I will indulge in another way, like having more caffeine instead of cutting down like I always intend to.

 

Still Day 0.

The hot chick is back outside. Pray for me, fam.

But, today, I am committed to the fight. I've done some things like write, I have much more to do today. I've prayed a little, and I will pray more yet and also meditate. I took a cold shower, which felt great.

time to get after it!

 

Day 365, guys.

 

Checking in.

You have my sword.

Huge congrats!

St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us!

 

Day 8! Been active today! a lot of workout and thinking! it's startiiing!

 

That is awesome.

Well, I took my shower and I thought about it but didn't choke the chicken. I'm having tea now, 75 mg of caffeine over my limit. Screw it, I'm being good otherwise and I just want some dopamine.

 

Day15

I am a Hobbit again. Time to destroy this ring of porn. Let’s go!

 

I relapsed again, but I went through my thought process and justifications for it (elsewhere, its a little sensitive) and I think I've come out of this one stronger and with a better understanding of myself. I understand that specific pitfall a lot better now, and knowledge is power!

And you have my bow!

 

Thanks, Fellows! She is gone now, lol.

Of course, I know the problem lies in my mind and heart, not in other people's bodies. I guess that's why we're all here.

 

And my axe!
let's slay some urges

 

Day 3,

Keeping strong!

Stay true Fellowship!

 

Brethren,

So something just came to me.
About half a day before I relapse I ate red meat.
Not just red meat, but bison meat.
So a kind of super-red meat.
I think it might have triggered it.
At the start of this year I did a 5meoDMT trip, and after it I quit drinking.
I mean nothing, emptied it all out and didn't want to touch it, and never think of it at all (except on dates sometimes)
For the last 2 weeks (so including the time I started on the journey) I have been pretty much not eating meat.
Not vegetarian or anything, I still eat eggs and fish and that, but just hadn't touched red meat etc.
Wasn't a political or environmental thing at all, I just didn't feel like it.
SO it just came to me now, I think diet might have something to do with it...

Onwards,

4:30am

 

Sadly I relapsed yesterday. I was about to reach Hobbit. I think this time I will reach Hobbit. I am feeling more motivated now after so many relapses.

 

Congratulations mate,
282 days

 

Just take care with the caffeine, bro. You don't want another addiction in your life. I suggest that every time that you feel the urges, try to meditate for some short period of time, 5 minutes at best. This helps to get the mind back on track and get mentally over the hormones that produces the urges.

But there's always a nice ideia to have cup of coffee, hahahah.

 

It happens, bro, but keep going! Try to spot in your mind the thoughts that you had in the moment you saw the girl. Once spotted, think in a way to counter them specifically, one by one. Then, when they come again you'll be better prepared to fight them!

Stand on fight!

 

You are really a savage my friend

 

Day 30
I believe I am now an elf! Wow this feels good.
