    Low urges yesterday, worked almost all the day but tryint to be more aware in my enviroment and planning to hang out the weekend.
    Today I worked out and took a cold shower.
    Keep strong my brothers.
     
  2. Day 18

    Urges: 3/5
    Thoughts: 5/5

    Last night was a battle hard won. Memories of old porn videos kept going through my head for most of the night, almost making me want to bust one just to shut them up. But I know it won't do me any good, my need for a clear head, leg cramp free sleep and to do better is all that's stopping me from doing the deed.

    I have learned however, that when my thoughts and urges are getting this bad, it's my body's way of telling me that I have pent up energy that needs to be used up. I couldn't workout today due to this being a rest day, so I took a half hour walk in the cold earlier and spent more catching up on house work; it's helped some, but the thoughts are still going, I'm to jump into my cold shower and hope it'll calm it down to more tolerable levels. Pray for me.
     
  3. Day 2 already? I'll try to work to the end of the night. I need to get some headspace to really start studying hard since that's my work right now. Work definition btw is the act of getting towards some long-term goal.

    @Ready to Stop Good job, consistency is important. I remember when I got really into calisthenics/walking and listening to audiobooks I'd do it every day without fail. That also I believe coincided with my best nofap streak. I remember doing pullups in the park during a blizzard lol... Kinda nostalgic for that period.

    @PeaceOnEarth108 You can do it! Keep fighting brother.

    @breaking-myths I was once pretty addicted to watching series and movies excessively as a way to avoid life. Quitting weed and drinking helped a lot with that. Doubt that's a problem in your case though.

    @Redemptionisrequired Thanks for the encouragement. I'm at it again! I have a lot of hope for this upcoming period.

    @sonic123rainbow Thanks for the reminder of the proper definition for work. We are all working hard here! No pmo is a job in itself.

    Day 3, night check in
    I had a pretty tough swimming training today, and after that a sauna session followed by cold shower. This three things help me a lot to get my head back on its place, and they also make me stop craving for cheap pleasure.

    Day 1

    Didn't eat that well today and feel kinda sick. I was pretty zoned out most of the day... Feel pretty detached. Tried dyeing my hair again. Think it worked a bit better this time.

    Better days are ahead.

    0 days :emoji_star2: You decide to destroy the porn ring! You´re a Hobbit now. You must take the ring to the place where he was made, Mount Doom. You left Hobbiton heading for Bree.

    I binged. Sorry guys, I know something has to change.
    @Redemptionisrequired @Talz thanks for the encouragement
    @Paul S. I feel you. I remember those feelings after therapy sessions when really all was open and I had a deep view in my mind. I wish I could reproduce that without a therapist. Gotta keep meditating and keep trying to overcome my addictions
    @Oreki Yagami welcome brother :)

    Nope that's not a problem :emoji_sweat_smile:.
    I think the reason why I am addicted to series and anime because it gives me a sense of alternate reality without much hardships. I kind of try to be a perfectionist subconsciously and this makes me a anxious person all the time. And binge watching series and anime gives me a sense of relief for some time. Maybe one of the reasons I got addicted to pmo was due to this temporary fleeting sense of relief it gives ,and we all know what pmo can do to you in the long run . I think similarly getting addicted to series and anime could be as worse.

    I know I will get over with this addiction but it is taking me more time than I expected.

    Also after getting into college I have always wanted to stand out at least in something by the end of next 3 years , but it is not easy for someone who has not developed his talent in the past 4 or 5 years . So I think until I am able to have better control over myself I will focus on very small wins , build confidence and build myself progressively even if it takes me another 5 years. But I am not willing to give into PMO again .

    Day 0
    I failed,
    The reason being I resented what I went through and then all those memories of abuse from my ex surfaced and even though I was trying to deal with them without escaping today I resisted but unfortunately not for long
    .
    I feel good to have completed 4 clean days .
    But i feel so lost as this roller coaster of healing from wounds has been messing with my reboot journey.

    Things got bad when few of my friends came to my place & discussed how amazing their bfs are.. I wish them well no jealousy whatsoever but couldn't help but lament what I have been through.
    Then reset happened,
    And i am feeling very bad about it
