About to hit 28 days... Every time I get an urge, I check out this chat, along with others, just to remind myself that I'm not alone in this fight. S/O to the people in this group that's kept me grounded. Appreciate y'all ✊
1.Always thank you for this place, this forum. 2. From time to time I study how the brain works on the site of Gary Wilson. - it is very important to understand where and how the urge arises, for me 3. The first month spent 1 hour on simple physical exercises, doing them every hour for 10 minutes. 6-7 times, pushing away from fatigue. Running in place for example. you can find a bunch of videos in youtube. 4. Cold shower - when sad, when there is an urge today was the first reboot day. Last night I dreamed of a frank scene, but I did not have a night fall. Probably the first time in 3 months. So everything is going well. The brain is re-adapting
2 day reboot! My goal is to teach my brain new skills. The experience with P. gave me a good example, that if I did it all the time, then my brain learned. I will teach something more useful thank you all for your concern!
3 day reboot! Guys are so good that we can do it! We know a lot about addiction and can get through it.
Day 4/30. I m happy. @stanislavKhass thanks for the tip earlier , it’s working. Also I m guarding my mind form P thoughts all the time.
Day 4/30 (by 19:00 tonight). Had a day off, felt quite irritable and probably overreacted with my manager (via email) to being paid incorrectly. I had a dream last night that I’d failed and looked at P. I felt bad in the dream but was delighted when I awoke to find it was just that, a dream! Keep going guys!
I think that’s a good tactic, I’ve found recently if a dodgy thought pops into my head related to my addiction, I shut it down immediately and don’t let it grow, I’ve found dwelling on it and the sensations associated with it risks giving it some life. I shut it down by saying NO in my mind and immediately doing something that distracts me and then a few minutes later it’s gone.
I'm glad I could be helpful! Yes, it's important to retrain your brain. To understand that a simple waste of energy does not see anything. The complete form of such examples. It's good that it was a dream. For the first month, I especially dreamed a lot about P. in a dream. Now this happens much less often. Probably the mind continues to dream of the forbidden Today is the 4th day of the reboot! I'm glad everything is so good! I am glad that I am becoming more and more free from this. Thank you guys that we are moving together - it's very valuable!
5th day of reboot. Motivation is what you need to develop in life. This is what P M O takes. Motivation is very important for action in life.Revelation honored me yesterday
Yes it does, but keep trying. I saw a video recently which suggests that most people relapse between days 4-7 because it’s at this point that the brain starts to realise that something is different i.e it’s not getting it’s usual stimulation. I’m on Day 6 today so am in that zone myself, if you can persist for a week it should then start to get easier.
Thanks for the info , next time for 4-7 days , ill try to keep myself terribly busy. and congratulations for reaching day 6. keep persisting.
