    Day 13.

    Nice day, felt a bit triggered at work but nothing serious.

    Congrats @Tilopa!

    Get back on track @muhagg. That’s the only thing to do.

    Day 178

    New day back at work, feeling more confident in myself and generally more comfortable around other people - a nice way to be. My tutor shared their report with me and I’m very flattered by it, but it’s a reminder to keep God central to my life if I’m going to continue to make good progress.

    No urges today, but a few tricky conversations with women; I need to keep myself in check when I’m feeling confident that I don’t start flirting unnecessarily. Soon I’ll be moving out of my flat that I share with my AP and into a new property, I hope my new housemate is as good a support network as my friend.

    Congratulations @Mazda647 - 100 days is an incredible achievement, one that seems impossible on the first day of a streak. I’m very proud of you and it’s a great honour to be a companion with you on this journey.

    Day 36
    Toughy day. Bad sleep, lot of work to do and blue balls throughout the day. At least my reason is still clear enough, even though this pain makes it harder to focus.

  13. @Dissolve_The_Ego Thank you for recommending that documentary. I watched it tonight after I relapsed with PMO. Seeing those stories and how important it is to overcome this addiction is the only thing that gave me the strength to post here tonight detailing another failure. I wanted to lie to everyone just so I could escape the shame and embarrassment of having to report yet another day of using PMO. Surely you've all felt that way before? But in the end, I knew that wouldn't do me any good. I have been stuck at 5 days lately and I'm at a loss for how to improve my strategy. The porn blocker on my phone can be circumvented in a matter of seconds and I still haven't found any blocker which I can put on my computer. The problem with porn is that it's so damn easy to find, it's impossible to avoid, and masturbation is even more so. I don't see the way out.

    St. Lucy, pray for us!

    Day 19 complete

    This day had a lot of urges, but mostly to look at women and I did a lot. Maybe I do it because I am expecting something from them? I guess I just have to stop doing that, because it puts me on the wrong path. I also feel that I sometimes do things that my wife wants just because I want to have sex with her. These two things are related. But today I slept well and I forecast less urges.

    @Slider8 having sex and keeping seemen retention seems strange? You can simply ask “how do you do it” instead of asuming the other person is being delirious.

    Had a good day today, worked a lot, and in the evening I went for a walk with my wife.
    Low urges, but since it's summer and I'm living near the sea, girls are walking around half naked, so it's triggering
    but I remembering my path and just trying to look in another direction

    Day 14 as an Uruk-Hai complete! I am now a Hobbit once again.
    Yesterday was a good day... I was too busy to think about PMO. I also accomplished quite a bit, which is a huge plus for me.
    I hope to have a similar if not better day.
    All the best to the rest of you!

    Today, I am choosing to think thoughts that serve me well."

    Checking in Fellowship! :)

    Thank you all for your kind words and wishes, means a lot to me. About the changes of the challenge, i took notes of your sayings, thank you for your suggestions. Still 8/9 days until @Ready to Stop becomes a White Wizard, so i have time to draw proper alterations to the challenge :)

    As for me, i´m doing well lately, just slight withdrawal symptoms, nothing more :). For now my biggest challenge is to not binge, since i never broke a big streak without falling hard on the addiction. and so far i´m staying clean, no hesitation. So far so good :)

    Let´s keep going brothers. One day at a time. There´s an addiction to dismantle :emoji_muscle:
