Day 40 On December 7th I will hit the 100 day mark and on New Years I will have 125 days! Returning to PMO is not an option for me anymore. I also plan to keep going and am practicing celibacy until I get married. I have noticed side effects from no PMO such as better energy, no more brain fog and an overall feeling of well being and accomplishment. I wonder what other great things our coming my way as I continue on in this journey. Stay COMMITTED my fellow Spartans!
Day 19 Struggling. Was pulled into it. Got out. All progress and advancing. However I have to go deeper. I realized that I want to do a serious one year program. I want to do a strong measure of scheduled sex all 2 weeks as I want to establish a different normal and healthy pattern. before we do this I want first a reset and clearing myself with a 4 week abstinence. I will in addition do intense fasting. I did a few times now and it helps me a lot get alert and recover. I think I can clear my ptsd and effects on myself from it and from prolonged addiction entirely this way as both had a strong impact on me. i started now doing once a week 36 hour fast and it feels terrific. I will do this once a week. Intermittent fasting I already do since about four month. i will in addition sign up and go to an extended fast in a fast clinic for 10 days. I think this is a terrific formula and I am excited to deepen this.
Hey Everyone have to reset today. I didn't fully PMO but I did look long enough that I have to be honest with myself and reset. So stupid because I didn't even get full "enjoyment" from it because I stopped myself before that anyway. I was working late last night and got a message from a fantasy football friend that led me to Twitter. I don't know why but I ended up searching for stuff there. It was pointless because I don't even have an account but I saw enough stuff even without one that I need to restart and remain honest to myself and the rest of you warriors. I decided to block Twitter and gave my wife the password so I can't mess with it. Oh well. Gonna start back now and see if I can beat that last streak and make it all the way to the end of the year completely clean. Progress is being made but still not all the way there yet by any means. I think the biggest items I've noticed is if I get too busy with work to post here and also attend my meetings twice a week, my mind starts to let it's guard down and searches for a hit of dopamine to offset the stress I am feeling. But I have to accept that there is no excuse for peeking at anything remove this from my life forever. Hope everyone else is doing well.
That's the way to go. That is the way I highly recommend people to go. Especially for men being on longer streaks will attain more positive side effects. Keep up the great work Spartan!
Day 06 checking in. The attacks have been strong throughout the day today, and although I knew that this would happen, it is not easy, but I can proudly say that I have maintained my streak. Quite a busy day at the office but I managed to finish everything on time and I felt pretty good about my performance, something that helped me is not having that mental fog that porn produces
Day 14 checking in this is my first tracked reboot - I’ve tried in the past on my own to quit/reduce and not counted days…… I think this is probably the longest I’ve gone without PM or edging in over 25 years….
Day 4 Hey Guys, It's been a while since I've logged on. This is because I got very sick with some kind of stomach virus. From Wednesday night, I was hit with a serious fever, and was bedbound until friday afternoon, when the fever started breaking. Thursday I slept the whole day basically, and friday I couldn't keep my eyes open for more than 5 seconds at a time, until the fever started to break. I've been getting appropriate symptomatic treatment, and I am already feeling a lot stronger. Day and night compared to yesterday morning and today. I have been exercising last week (monday-wednesday morning), but of course stopped when I got sick, and will resume once I feel strong enough.
Day 42 Everything in life is going my way. I'm experiencing lots of blessings in my life right now. They may have already been there but my obsession with PMO might have been blocking me from seeing them. My body is transmuting the energy I used for daily PMO and using in other areas of my life. This has been a very big eye opener as to just how draining PMO can be. I'm convinced, I'm not going back to the old ways. Every one have a happy Sunday!
Pretty much how I felt when I first experienced it from my longest streak here in the forums. It is eye opening indeed. Happy Sunday, let's keep going!
