The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Day 12

 

Just joined the challenge. Day 15.

 

Day 358

 

Day 8 complete! Another Uruk-hai for Saruman's army.

Had a wet dream last night. I thought the chaser urges might dog me today, but they weren't too bad. Excited to push forward on this streak.

@Arisa Good luck, stay strong! Mindfulness techniques are a good practice. Maybe find some ways to mix up your routine as well?

@kaerhal I know exactly what you mean. I hate the way that my eyes are constantly wandering towards IRL women even when I'm doing a good job staying away from PMO. Just goes to show how much of a stranglehold this addiction can have on some of our neural pathways. We need to start keeping our eyes raised towards God more frequently in a literal sense than simply metaphorical XD

 

Day 4 - Orc,
The Dark Tower Barad-Dûr

Rough night with heavy urges, managed to get through them though. But must still be wary

 

14 days

 

Journey Day 22

I usually make my report at the end of the day. But today is special, I need you, fellows. I had probably the most vivid and erotic dream that I ever had, and it lasted the whole dream. I mean many situations happened during the dream. I woke up horny. I usually take a shower in the mornings but this time I took a cold shower, it helped me a bit. But now the urge is strong and I need the motivation to keep going. Tomorrow will be 23 days and this is the number of the longest streak in my life since I began at 14 yr. So, you'll see me here reading, commenting, and letting the time pass.

And the journey continues

 

Dawn of the 3rd day.

 

You gotta ask God for strenght! This fight will be hard, maintain yourself busy, use the panic button, watch your thoughts and you got this!!

 

Day 351 no PMO. Good day. No urges.

 

Day 7!

 

Day 47! Smooth sailing

 

Thanks a lot, man, very good suggestions, especially as God for strength

 

I ask God for strenght every single day, without him i wouldn't be able to get this far. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7

 

Day 9!

 

Day 4!
Keeping strongh, uninstalled Tinder, today, its just a waste of time. Ate healthy and worked out

 

Check in day 134

 

You are completely right.

 

sadly relapsed again - damn I was so close to day 8.
But still I see a lot of progress:
1. Could decrease intensity and amount of wasted time a lot!
2. Do not feel the need to relapse after relapse at all.
3. I dont feel guilty its just dumb that I need to begin on day 0 again now

So day 0 - back on my knees but much stronger.
God pls help me to recover fast and finally beat that first 10 days!
I dont wanna stay that all-time-ork^^

 

Have you worked out today? You can try doing a hard workout, the dopamine release can take away the strength of the craving. Plus your get more fit. The urges come in waves. Some days are easy with little to no urges, but then the wave hits one day and you have to stay standing. These are the days to fight. Chances are if you can overcome today you will get through the next few days with ease plus your brain will unwire more as it sees that you don't respond to the urges. Maybe listen to some music you like too if that helps keep your mind clear.
