Ready to get back at it. I went to a good webinar today and started "Awareness: Conversations with the Masters" by Anthony De Mello. Sounds like there's a lot of wisdom in it.

Day 7

Okay day, most of the day at work was spent on some quite complicated stuff that I'm still struggling to understand, although I felt more focused that last week (I still need to work on my focus though). Made an important call on my lunch break that I've been procrastinating about for ages though, so that felt good.

Called my Dad after work - felt like I was a bit chaotic/rambly so I need to work on that too.

@PeaceOnEarth108 that sucks that your Dad might not be coming to your wedding, really sorry to hear that bro congratulations on the wedding though, I didn't realise you're getting married

@crazyhorse11 yep very important to avoid burnout, I always find I relapse when burned out too

@Baki Hanma well done brother, that's amazing

Day 20 no PMO. I was a little down in the dumps yesterday. The first day back from vacation seems to always be like that for me. It’s hard getting back in the flow of my “real life”. Good news is that I didn’t have any urges related to PMO.

Day 6

Still feeling better each and every day of no PMO Called my friend and cleaned bathroom in the morning, then did a food shop and made a new recipe in the afternoon.

Had a stupid urge where my brain said "maybe you're just feeling better because you're being productive and it has nothing to do with no PMO... why don't you quickly PMO now to test it?". But I tried my new technique of actually saying the urge out loud, and when I heard how ridiculous it sounded I was able to move on and get on with my day.

@Niklaus The lord of Owls well done for not binging and minimising the damage, it sounds like you are learning from your mistakes.

@Caged_bird I'm sorry to hear that things are difficult at the moment. It's completely understandable that stuff in our pasts trigger us, even when long gone. Keep fighting and stay strong, you won't feel this way forever. Things will get better, even if it takes time.

@Anew2019 that sounds really positive

139 Days Free of PMO

Still not feeling the best, my stress tolerance got lower. I can only attribute this to recurring PAWS. I'm trying my best not to avoid challenges and feel the stress/anxiety that arises, it's definitely not easy. I found that taking a jolt of cold shower at the end of my regular shower helps alleviate a bit. Bumping up my meditation as well to assist.

Stay Strong!

@Caged_bird It is not easy to rewire, if old triggers of your trauma are still active, perhaps that means that they have not fully been addressed. I mean the emotional aspect. Maybe revisiting that and observing, perhaps even working with someone. It takes a lot of work to unwrap trauma. As for work, if they are your subordinates and they report directly to you, I would write up learning opportunities for them and CC your leader to show the steps you are taking. Set the expectation of where they need to improve. If they do not report to you, send an email to their manager and the boss of that manager. Once that has been sent you have done all that you can. In turn focus on what your job entails and accept that you have done what you can to set them straight.

@Anew2019 Perhaps calling your sister and being upfront about the missed call schedules. You can open up about how it makes you feel and take it from there. Though, it is good that you do not bare any resentment.

@e r i k _ s a t i e Well done on keeping to your schedule and reaching a week.

@til_im_free Nothing to apologies for brother. Try your best to manage the stressors and not run from them, I'm in a similar situation regarding the variety of stressors ahead.

@PeaceOnEarth108 I'm so sorry to hear that brother, perhaps you can have someone connect your father on a table through a zoom /skype/whatsapp call. So they can see the wedding live.

@crazyhorse11 Try your best to write out those resentments brother, try to practice empathy and forgiveness onto those people. Realize that this is what will release you from the grudge. It's not easy and I bare the same character for that, but it's better to practice this empathy and be released from something that harms us.

@Baki Hanma Well done on conquering the urge brother.

@Paul S. Apathy is part of the process, hold strong brother.

@ModernTeen Brahmachari Good luck on your exam, try your best !

@Kairose Glad you found new resolve brother, great comeback!

Day 7 everything was going good. Had a few urges to look watch porn. I also looked at some actresses, which is wrong and not allowed in brahmacharya but it was just for a minute and no bad thoughts were involved. Really productive right now but was tempted to have some low density fun by watching a documentary or a movie. But I will not do it because I have to study and get a perfect score on this week's Physics test and only after then I will allow myself to watch a documentary.
All the best guys on your respective journeys.

Hello brothers! I'm on day 13

Not having urges! Thank God. But I'm trying to stay away from the phone so I'll check in once a week or a little longer. If I relapse, I will post it but, to say the truth, I don't think I will lol. I hope you all are doing great!!!

The fact is when I am stressed out , I don't have have enough of any of the mentioned above . Plus I lose the overall productivity in everything I do.
Moreover I used to require something like pmo or binging series to keep my anxiety at check which again is something similar to drug addicts and alcoholics do.

I ended up failing yesterday night. I won't call it a relapse cuz I didn't watched any P, neither edged, what is considered the worsening behaviours. But indeed I failed with M, so I'm reseting my counter again. Hope to get well through chaser effect.

10 days – You spend the night at the old Watchtower of Amon Sûl. PMO forces are lurking in the area.

Feels good to be double digits again. Need to keep a positive attitude.
