The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Current streak: 510 days no PMO, semen retention.

After 500 days streak I have noticed several new benefits:

- I don’t watch anything on YouTube. I have not blocked it; simply my mind does not like it anymore. It was an issue, I wasted too much time on it
- I have more energy in general
- I deal better with girls and sex.
- I grasp complex subjects more easily.
- My dancing skills have improved.
- I’m constantly making PRs (personal records) at the gym.
- I’m able to wake up before 4am everyday with no problem. I have almost perfect sleep.
- I can train heavy lifts early in the morning. It used to be hell activating my body very early, never got used to it. Now I can do it with no problem.

Protip:
Intention: think deeply why it is important no PMO for you until it becomes as important as breathing or eating, for me it is, then is almost impossible to relapse
Healthy lifestyle: good food, sleep, no alcohol/smoking, everyday outdoors sports will give you healthy amounts of dopamine so less need to PMO

Conclusion: maybe all this is not all due to the streak but it certainly helps, the streak gets stronger by the good habits and the good habits get stronger because of the streak.

PS: I’m extremely thankful for this streak, this page has helped to clarify and fortify my self-awareness and knowledge about semen retention. Thank you all for listening. Always glad to help too.

 

Day 2
Today work saved me. It's so crazy when I think about it: in the morning, right after getting up and coffee, I thought about a long p-scene where I had seen only the beginning. I was absolutely caught in it. Full of adrenaline I tried to remember the name of the p-actress. But thankfully I had to go to work.
A warning shot! It didn't come out of nowhere but it was pretty fast. Before I knew it I was running on a completely different program.
Lessons to learn

• React immediately when the urge comes up / asap
• I need to connect to my higher standards in such a moment and
  
• I need to use my tools (or just any tool)
  
• the motto is always "I quit, I'm not using, I quit"
  
  • It is a phrase of "no discussion!". Whatever the porninfected mind says, nevermind, I'm not allowed, I'm just not doing it. Just ... NO!
• my smartphone is dangerous. I should use it less and with more awareness

Easier said then done. But what else can one do.
CU maybe later, the craving for that ... shit could come back.

 

I just hate my birthdays.

But its over.
It was shit, I’ve binged, cried and binged some more.
I’m drained and sad right now but that is life.
I don’t really know where to start back on nofap but tomorrow is a new day and I’ll do my best.

 

49 days – You reached the Doors of Durin, the West-door of Moria.

YEEEESSSS ! Tomorrow I shall become a Dwarf, and reach my highest streak

 

Day 7

Had a pretty good morning and some decent sleep last night. Still to do today are meditation and more prayer. Maybe a walk, we'll see. I did ride my bike this morning, which felt great in the crisp almost-fall air.

 

That is only possible to do when she‘s out or asleep, right? Maybe it would be better for you if you had no free access to the internet (when alone)

Here everything‘s fine. I‘m going to sleep now.

 

Day 8 completed, Uruk again!

 

Weird day, woke up with a headache and had it for half a day but workout, cold shower, meditations and studies are done .

 

day 76- warrior

 

Bummer. Caught a cold. It is ok though, the reboot is going well, and I worked out and practiced guitar.

 

Day 2

Today was a pretty nice day, I had my therapy session which went really well so now I'm looking forward to future sessions and seeing how much the therapy helps me on my journey. During my daily group meditation session, we learnt a new practice which was incredibly relaxing and cosy so I'm going to try using it next time I get an urge and seeing how it goes. If it doesn't work it's not the end of the world, I have many other distractions that I can use / try out.

I had a couple of urges today but nothing too crazy.

Also, here's an immensely cute video of Red Pandas

 

Daily checking in
It was a day occupied, i readed that helps to not think on pmo temporarily.

 

429 days

 

Day 218&219

 

Day 23. I’m so tired but that’s good because it means I’m going to sleep easily hehe . Tomorrow I have an exam so I will wake up earlier to do an express study. But about today in general it was a good day and about my workout I’m happy about the discipline and the results that its giving in my life as well of course in my reboot process. God bless you all brothers and sisters

 

11 days

 

Day 31 - The Elven town of Rivendel

 

444 days high king
511 days no PMO, semen retention

 

Day 0, a new dawn.

It’s not going to be easy but I’m ready to get back into real life and stop running away into porn.

I truly hate the first few days of the streak so I’m doing everything to just make sure that I’ll make it.

I’ve put my phone on grayscale so it would be a constant remainder that it is a tool and not something I want to spend all of my time on. I’m going to try and find a new EP because I’ve failed to communicate regularly in the past with my EP because life was just too much.
If anybody would like to be that special someone, just PM me

And I’m going to study about NoFap some more. I know that I need to find a better plan then just hope for the best. And I need to find a mantra that would resonant with me.

But at least I’m up.
Thank you all for all of your help

 

Day 212 no PMO. I had a small argument with my wife yesterday over a dumb misunderstanding. Went for ice cream to make myself feel better (better than PMO right?). It has been several days since I have worked out so I’m going to go do that right after my coffee this morning. Have a great day everyone!
