    Checking in Fellowship!! :)

    I´m feeling a lot better today, no flu or merely residual sympthoms. Already took my cold shower in the morning, but i will skip the wim hof breathing and the meditation, no time at all, very busy day today, but i will do my light workout when i got home, before dinner.

    no urges or temptations, i´m in total flatline.

    Nothing more to add. Have a great day brotherhood!! Stay in the path :)

    Day 1

    I went shopping with my Mum today and stumbled across an old friend from high school along the way which was super super nice. I also arranged with one of my close friends to start holding accountability for each other since he's also doing NoFap now. I think having someone I'm close to to keep accountability with will hopefully help quite a bit since I really don't wanna have to keep telling him I relapsed over and over again whilst he's cruising ahead (and vice versa). If one of us is doing really well it'll hopefully empower the other person to do better.

  10. Day 2 complete!

    Good day, even though I felt pretty tired for most of it. Did some lap swimming for exercise and also sang some country songs with a few friends and a guitar (good old country, not the pop stuff). I also began my last paper of the semester to get a head start and worked for about an hour to write the introduction. No worries about PMO right now, but we'll see how I feel once I head home tomorrow to see my family for Thanksgiving. I'm typically not as good at staying accountable there.

    St. Cecilia, pray for us!

    9 days.

    I dreamt that I watched P last night. Has happened a few times before so I’m not that worried. Other than that, it seems like my urges for sweets has increased lately, I went out in the snow last night just to by a muffin and a sugar free soda lol.

    Day 2

    Today is one of dose days that I just woke up and the world was right. My entire body is in some good type of pain from working out, I’ve slept right, and I just felt like “yes” I can totally make it to 500. Because I didn’t feel like PMO at that moment I thought to myself that the rest of the 500 days would be the same.

    And then I thought to myself that it is a bit silly. There is no point in having good and bad “spikes” of confidence. I had it dozens of times in the past and knowing that the “bad spike” would mean relapse just make me rethink this whole thing.

    I should use my good spikes moment as times to prepare for the inevitable bad spike of emotion and the places where I always fall.

    So, this is me not getting too excited. But in general, being in a good mood. Yesterday I’ve worked out and I’ve bought myself the Mi Band 5, a new exercise band and it’s a great motivator to get back into shape, my juggling balls came in the mail, and I’ve started practicing again as a way to calm my mind.

    Another long day at work... Tired. This girl I work with was talking about being a lesbian today; I had no idea. I felt some kinda way about it though... I didn't know why. I realize thinking now that whenever I realize for sure that a girl doesn't like me it gives me a blow to the ego. I have some serious issues in this area, mentally and emotionally I am super damaged and I know it. I don't even think it has that much to do with porn, I think porn is just the band-aid.

    I should confess that I never deleted my porn collection at any point during this whole nofap saga. I guess I somehow had strong enough will power not to peek at it and just removed it from my routine, so after an extended period I somewhat forgot about it... But I realize keeping it was also a failure to %100 let go, and I understood that at the time. "I'll delete it when I'm ready" I said to myself.

    I bring that up because I've been slipping often lately and starting to look at it again. After being away from it for a bit I don't even know why I downloaded most of it... It's just thousands and thousands of different files, but almost all of it is stuff I just watched once and most of it honestly kinda sucks anyway. In fact most of this stuff I'm sure I just glanced at once on some site, horded it and moved on... What a life I was living.

    I should just get rid of it once and for all. I'm slipping daily now, a true ring wraith once again. I don't bother reporting anymore because I don't want to clog up the thread with endless relapse reports when I know I'm not even trying anymore. It wasn't that long ago I was cocky enough to think I would never serve the dark lord again!

    I am going to try to force myself up early to prepare for some upcoming work changes the next couple weeks. I won't get anything close to a full nights sleep, but hopefully I'll be able to get up. I would like to get serious about this threat again.

    Day 274 no PMO. Woke up and realized I had a very disturbing dream and was glad it was just a dream but very disappointed that my mind would think that way at all. Satan is after me. Gotta stay strong.
