    Day 15 -- No P
    Day 101 -- No M + Semen Retention
    So I have many benefits of semen retention like increased muscle mass, deep voice, increased brain power, memory , concentration etc, nice skin, less stress, anxiety and depression, being confident socially and many other but I know these days are more but i am not getting benefits in that much amount compared to days that is because I am still sometimes binged in using dating apps and that has become a big shit for me so I just want to quit using dating apps completely because it is affecting my achievements from semen retention. For P addiction I am still weak because only 15 days has passed so still there is danger in coming days so I have to be conscious and aware of this...

    well, drunkness causes a lot of problems, for the body and for the addiction. the best way is the middle path, drink in moderation, a couple of beers and that´s it, and if you could drink while having food, that would be better.

    that´s the best goal i believe. i´m not drinking now (it makes me have pmo addiction withdrawal sympthoms), but once i resume drinking, my goal will be to drink in moderation.

    plus, when drunk, people act stupid, it´s not really a good thing for anyone. it´s better to feel happy and energetic, than a rambless zombie ;)

    anyway, the peer pressure is indeed a pain in the ass, and i have succumb many times to that. try to be assertive on that: "nop, i had enough", don´t lie, be straight foward, and people will respect you for that.

    if however, you feel you´re gonna "loose it", then make a commitment to not touch any electronic devices while drunk. and be extra careful the next day, because the fatigue and hangover will make you an easy prey for the addiction ;)

    Checking in Fellowship!!

    Morning check in again :D, well, so far, i´m feeling well, and with a well planned day ahead ;).

    yesterday, i dine twice, unexpectatly in my parents home, and in my house. i end up overating and became sloopy. afterwards i fished a bit while watching TV, eventually i did stumble across some sexy material but didn´t have the nerve to look at it, so i stand my ground.

    still, it was a dangerous situation, i must be more careful and aware around food intake.

    Checking out brotherhood!! :). Have a great Sunday with lot´s of happiness and peace!!

    Here´s another great excerpt from "your brain on porn", page 67. Eternal thanks Gary Wilson, may you rest in peace.


    "Unfortunately, due to widespread ignorance about the scientific basis of internet porn addiction,
    many healthcare providers still assume that internet porn use cannot cause severe depression, brain
    fog, low motivation or anxiety. As a consequence, they inadvertently misdiagnose internet porn users
    as having primary disorders without inquiring about their internet habits. Porn users are then
    surprised when quitting porn resolves their other symptoms:

    "I don't think society knows what internet porn really does to a man. All they really
    associate porn with is ED. Porn turns a man into a scared boy. I was socially awkward,
    depressed, had no motivation, couldn't focus, very insecure, weak muscle tone, my voice was
    weaker, and I had absolutely no control over my life. Men are going to the doctors getting
    prescribed all kind of meds, when really it often comes down to porn and what it does to your
    brain and body. I'm off porn now and feel better than I felt in years

    Thank you for your wise words! I'll try to drink in moderation the next few times. If I can't handle it, I might try to just cut alcohol out completely :)

    Day 41!!!
    I'm sailing through unavigated waters!
    Yesterday I reached 40 days, which is the longest streak I have ever had since I'm a 11 years old boy! I feel awesomely grateful for this!!!

    Despite that, I can see that I've been kinda lazy in the last days, which led me to fishing yesterday night. I spent 2 hours on youtube mindlessly searching for hot videos to turn me on. I'm glad the algorithm knows the kind of person that I want to be and didn't let me find any particularly spicy video. Anyways, gonna keep an eye on myself and go back to my basic habbits.

    I honestly can't point a specific thing that I changed and led me to those 40 days, because I think it's actually in due to the sum of every little habbit and ideas that I learned from you guys, so I couldn't be gladder, thank you all for your help until here. I'm sure I'll need much more of it, cuz there's still a long way up to Mount Doom.

    LEZ DESTROY THAT DAMN RING!
