Thank you, @Slider8 , this is a very encouraging comment. I have found this to be true in the past.

 

Day 7

Today I have taken a cold shower, prayed, walked, meditated, done at least some nominal work. Diet was a little sketchy, as I ate a leftover fast food burger, but I will make it my only meal for today.

Today, I am thankful for the ability to learn about the world, and how much there is to learn.

 

I'm on Day 6
I just followed my daily routine. I exercised, walked, and was productive in the morning. at night I relax more and meditate around 7pm.

I am technichally orc rank so I changes my signature to that

p.s. I'm in

 

Back to day 1. I am frustrated but still hopeful that I will do better this time. I am following the A.A. slogan: "One day at a time." I am adapting it as necessary, sometimes it's one minute at a time.

 

Day 127&128

 

338 days

 

Day 2 check-in - The Dark Fortress, Barad-dûr.

 

22 days. Some urges during the day while being bored with my work, but they mostly pass as I stay calm, breath and try to distance myself from them. Also helped to sneak in here in this forum and read/write. Went for a walk to the outdoor gym in the evening and did some body weight exercises.

 

Well done brother ! You might want to check out Daniel Fast to help you with your diet.

 

Yeah, well done ! That's what the urges are at their core. They are evil thoughts trying to induce you into the indulgence of self-destructing behaviors by selling themselves to you, promising pleasure and blissful forgetfulness(very short lived ones) of the stressful problems in your life and as a payment taking your health, dignity and self-respect, all the way until you are out of this currency. Brothers refuse this kind of sales offer from lust for your own well-beings sake !

 

Day 53.

 

Yeah! It is hard, but nothing good comes easy! With practice, you will learn to transform those moments into anything productive and the productivity will stack up.

 

Checking in for day 6

Had a strong urge yesterday while I was studying but thankfullly i was able to quickly/effectivly rid myself of it by just lifting some old weights for 5 minutes, went right back to studying while feeling great

 

Day 9! Damn, it's going to be a hard day, yet I am using my energy to put the finishing touches in my new place.
They are weird though... these little tests that this challenge provides me with as I get more and more synchronized with myself. I have a theory that, temptation, when it starts starving, will put more effort for a while, into bringing you back under it's spell. However, by doing this and not succeeding, it will starve itself faster, reaching the point of defeat, where by the fear of not disappearing, will agree to use it's energy into giving you, what you actually want, instead of tempting you with your past addiction.

Spoiler: Triger Alert

Yesterday as I was sitting at a bar, a girl passed in front of me and she wore a small skirt, actually it was so small, that it covered nothing, and I basically saw her whole butt. Only after, she realized that her butt is showing and covered it. So today, I shall use those thoughts into finishing the chores I've been putting off for so long and play the game of games! Last time I encountered temptation at it strongest and overcame it, I found a full time job, that made me afford to move on my own once again.
