  2. Day 10 complete!

    Spent a couple hours on the phone catching up with a friend, plus I went running earlier today, so I am too tired for a very serious post. I'm becoming aware of an increased number of, let's call them potential urges, floating around the edge of my consciousness. The sooner I can turn them away, the better. I can't allow them any space at all.

    Day 6

    Feel mostly over the situation that happened yesterday. I definitely don't care about her that much, so that's good. Before I would have been completely devastated. I do think it threw my rhythm off though. I got up a bit later and missed my Crypto shows. I did make sure to workout though. Not relapsing and working out are my top priorities right now.

    There was also a surprise webinar for what I guess you could call a men's self improvement group that I'm in so I made sure to attend. Apparently we got some nofappers in there! Was glad to hear one guy made a month. One thing that was really reinforced to me was the importance of improving my inner world. I think it's time to start practicing affirmations! They always sounded like BS to me, but I think I'll try.

    New girlfriend?
    I just arrived from a date with a girl I met on a dating app yesterday. It was a good date, I loved her energy. We get along.

    We had sex, it was great. Now I see how blind I was to my toxic ex girlfriend she had such bad vibe now that I compare her to this girl. You never stop learning.

    Maybe I will make this girl my new girlfriend, I think I will but that has to be in some days you can't rush commitment it's not very masculine. or if ask about I'll probably say yes.

    Even do it's too soon to say anything, finding this type of girl usually has taken me many time in the past but now only one day, sometimes luck is like that.

    Day 262 no PMO. I’ve been having a hard time staying asleep ever sense the time change for “Fall Back”. It’s 4:25am right now and I’ve been up for almost an hour already. Sleep is so important. When I don’t get sleep everything else falls apart.

    Day 2

    I’ve started waking up and washing my face in cold water every day (I’m still not ready for cold showers, but I would get there).

    And I’ve went to the gym early in the morning and it feels great.

    I’m still really struggling with urges. But I’m trying to just clear my head when an urge come and try to fill my mind with my mantra. Life is still hard, but at least it’s hard and not happy to be an orc, but it’s still better than being a Nazgul.

    That’s amazing @Christoph108! I can’t explain how much I enjoy seeing your progress. Before my relapse we were on the same day, and it really remind me of where I’ve could have been and where I want to be. Make it to 90 and be free, you’re doing great.

    Day 22 - Hobbit

    I have pretty much decided that my coworker is actually being a petty a-hole. I’ve talked to like 5 or 6 different friends about it, trying to get perspectives, and it seems like he is genuinely arrogant and I’m not just imagining it. I feel better understanding that. I’ve had pretty serious issues in the past with blaming myself for things that aren’t my fault or are beyond my control. There are other empty desks/stations in my office, I plan to move my stuff to one of those so I don’t have to sit next to him all day. I’m still being civil around him, I’m waiting for him to show his ass before I start any sort of confrontation. The main thing that leads me to this judgment of him is that he gave me some questionable advice regarding my current project that has actually set me back a couple days. I found out from a different coworker that there was a much simpler solution than the one he suggested. Both solutions would work, but one requires significantly less time and effort.

    I’ve been praying for strength in this, I’m pretty bad with confrontation, but I know I haven’t done anything wrong here. As far as PMO, yesterday was surprisingly free from urges for the most part. Not having my phone in my bedroom helps so much.

    Congratulations to those who’ve reached important milestones in the past few days! Thank you all for reading and posting, it helps a lot. Hope everyone’s day goes well. Peace and love.

    I was without PMO for half a year, but relapsed 31st of october. It was only one relaps, and now I'm back at my 11th day. I can assure you who haven't done it that after 2/3 months, nofap has really nice benefits. I was a virgin when I started, and after two and a half months I met the girl that became my girlfriend.

    Good day, folks!
    Almost finishing the first week. I've been feeling better and I think my chaser effect period is over, which means that I'll probably only face stronger urges next week. Also, I've been studying finely, but not hard enough to make me stressed. I realized that I should care for myself in those first days as I would care for a sick one, so that means to take it easy.
    Can't wait to get to uruk hai again. After that 43 days streak I realised I can do much better than I thought I would, so I'll do my best to get there again and go on!
    Jesus' peace be with us all!

    yeah bro, that is self-respect. improve your saying "no" to people, respect yourself above all else. that is something that i´m also working on, and i suspect addicts in general have difficulties on that area.

    major value to improve: self-respect :)

    try to read some stoicism bro :). I´m reading "meditations" from Marcus Aurelius, and that thing is shaking me to the bone.

    It´s all about you bro, you have the power! Read and inspire yourself, it will become crystal clear how you can apply that to your life :)
