The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Nice number you have there Slider8! Just your presence here and it brings motivation

 

Don't overthink this brother, exactly as you say. One day at time. Also, don't catastrophise. I highly suggest keeping a nofap journal, write down what was helpful to you on longer streaks and write down what made you cave in. We cannot just passively attempt to face this with willpower alone. I've said this in the past, a real game changer in a successful long streak is study.

 

Checking in fellowship friends!

Day 326 free porn. Day 254 free of MO.

It was a more challenging week due to the flu, but I'm getting better. I had made a silly mistake to exercise too early and set back my recovery.


Brothers, I want to remind you all of a notion that I mentioned earlier on this year. This is for those of you struggling to keep up a longer streak. Let me ask you this again: How did you become a porn addict? Study and practice, years of consumption. You know where to go, what to look up, etc. How do you master nofap? Study and practice. Study success stories, study the pain and misery people went through due to their addiction and study the effects on your mind and body. Along the journey, learn about yourself. What makes you worry, what makes you sad and what makes you angry? Why does it do so? Face those emotions, feel them and learn from them. Addiction is based on emotional avoidance. Actively challenge this addiction, you cannot overcome it with just willpower alone.

Have a great weekend my friends!

@Slider8 Congrats! King

 

Day 71!

Not the greatest day, but reviewing a good webinar that makes me realize how far I have to go in this area of study. One thing is for sure, I stand strong in the journey and commit to being a student!

 

Day 6, I'll keep on going with you.

 

439 days

 

Day 7 complete!

Feels great to be here: not a massive streak, but it's a place I haven't reached in a couple months. My presence in this challenge hasn't always been consistent but I'm very grateful to know it's here.

St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us!

 

Day 0!

 

Day 6

Yesterday I found myself fish for a second. I gotten myself a new streaming service. And while looking though the movies there was a documentary about the porn industry. And just seeing one of the “starts” that I was obsessed with without being ready simply shocked me. I remember that I was Obsess with getting to know them like normal people fallow Hollywood starts.

After that I’ve kept looking though the catalog, but now I did it with the intend to see something more graphic. And when I didn’t find any, I’ve entered the documentary section just for “academic purposes”… after a couple of seconds I’ve realized what I was doing, put the phone in the other side of the room and picked up a book.

And in unrelated point. I’ve got my morning boners back. I think I’m happy about it, it happened the last couple of days and I was quite surprised at first. Didn’t have them for a really long time.

 

Day 222 no PMO. Yesterday was a good day. I got to spend the day with family and got through some frustrating situations while still keeping my cool for the most part. Something that did happen yesterday is that my brain is starting to tell itself that I am healed from PMO. Can we ever be healed? In the past when I start to think I am healed I usually have a relapse shortly there after. I’ll keep coming back here every morning but will there ever be a time when I can get on with my life without having to come back here? I enjoy coming here every morning but is this for the rest of my life?
