    "You´re most welcome!"

    Good to have you onboard once again! :) the Fellowship is a bit of addictive, don´t you think? :D just kidding. This is the power of community! and why is so important to keep in touch, read from others and share our own experiences.

    Mark Queppet himself says: community is the keystone for habits/addiction change!

    Now, are we doing this or what? ;) Let´s go!!!!!!!

    p.s. - important things has changed in the challenge while you were gone. please check the front page. thank you :)

    day 4

    With sleep pills, I got some longer-than-usual sleep, which is much needed for night shift.

    I'm finding that checking in here daily helps heighten my awareness of NoFap pursuit on a daily basis. The "comrade" / fellowship vibe on this thread is definitely a big plus.

    Checking in Fellowship!! :)

    4 days done, learning the Bombadil´s tune ;)

    I slept little last night, i got careless talking with my wife and preparing the next day, i also refine the challenge front page, texts and graphics, and when i realize it was damn late! :D

    so little sleep, and brain fog, merciless, appeared right in the morning, i did a quick bit of wim hof breathing to shake it off, but i was late for work, so it didn´t have any effect. still the morning went allright.

    after lunch i had a huge crash of energy and heavy fog followed. i was so down that seriously considered relapsing. then i negociate with myself "bro, just go to that meeting, and then relax". that´s what i did, i left home and when to the work meeting. it went allright, despite i was slow and dumb :confused::confused::confused::confused: but it was so hot today, that everybody was dizzy, so i passed unnoticed :D :D :D

    after the meeting i went home, do 4 proper rounds of wim hof breathing, and finally my mind cleared! :p i left home immediatly and went to the office.

    checking with you guys now. after this i´m just gone fill some files, leave the office, and go home rest and read on the couch :)

    Serious challenge today but this battle is won.

    Let´s keep going brothers!!! Checking out.

  10. Had a great day today:emoji_grinning:,

    Most of the day spent working but also didn't forget about exercising.
    Spent a few hours outside. Took a cold shower.

    I need to stop overthinking about my job interviews.

    Day 2 / 1000.

    It was raining almost all day. A lot. That's ok. We are used here to northern summers. Record beating heat waves that happen in recent years make me quite uncomfortable. So, resting from heat now in some sense.

    The end of catholic festival, where I now live. Chapels were still open. So, despite the rain, went to see what's inside. I always stay longest near the copy of The Shroud of Turin. Brings lots of thoughts.

    {:emoji_zap:}

    Stuff that should help to not pmo:
    1. No internet for recreational purposes until 6 pm.
    2. Waking up on the same time every day.

    Day 0

    Unfortunately I MOd this morning. Woke up with severe anxiety, and MO seemed like a way out.

    Had severe anxiety all day today. Think a lot of it has to do with ideological confusion and realising I probably don’t believe a lot of the things that I was brought up to believe. Which is a heartbreaking but important realisation.

    I think the big problem with my life is that I always feel like somebody else has got their claws on me, trying to manipulate me and bend me to their will, wanting to form me in their image. It’s a painful realisation when you realise that people you trusted had been using your innocent childlike trust to indoctrinate you and make you in their image. But at the same time it’s liberating, as it opens up the possibility to be made in God’s image, the man I’m supposed to become. It’s part fate and part free will. I wonder who I will become. But strangely, when I put my power in God rather than people, I don’t feel so worried about the future, and it doesn’t bother me as much that I don’t know the future.

    Been dealing with lots of intrusive thoughts and inner turmoil. But I’m just going to keep plodding on, one day at a time, living by my conscience and being honest with myself and others, and holding on to that small flicker of hope in my heart.

    “We held on to hope of better days coming, and when we did, we were right.” - From You Were Cool by The Mountain Goats, one of my favourite bands ever. I love those guys.

    Day 193

    Muggy heat here today, it’s made me feel lethargic and unmotivated. Despite this I actually really enjoyed the day; got a good amount of work done, enjoyed some games with my friends, went out for drinks after - highlight of the day was buying a fan to help me cool down at night!

    Had to diffuse a situation; I went to the cinema with three friends yesterday and after some gossip started I had to tell my friend that it wasn’t as a double date but just as friends. I don’t blame her for wanting clarity, there’s a lot of relationship gossip going round at the moment, but it does jar me that people think two single people on a night automatically means they’re dating. All is well though, and the anxiety it caused didn’t lead to urges.

    Good Day!
    Some urges are still lurking around. I didn't sleep well, so I was tired throughout the whole day.
    But still, it was a good day.
    Gonna sleep soon so I can be fine tomorrow!
     
  18. I'm unable to channel excessive testosterone, couple that with absence of empathy and capacity to feel, it can take you to dangerous places. I particularly sense hostility from other men when I'm outdoors. I also have cruel nature.... and other personality disorder, Anti-social being one.
