Hope you stay with us, I slipped and a few others did too, no reason we can't keep working together. Would hate for you to fight alone for the rest of the month.
Day 17/30 You did really good @oi5lnei8 to reach 12 days (or more) like you did, but I’ll be more impressed if you’ll avoid binging now .. you can continue posting here / annihilating April if you want. Btw great work for recently passing the 1 month milestone @Odelshorn you’re making BIG moves. That’s the spirit @Sam78.. *** Have a good day everybody.
While, I am only doing no PM, for the month of April I am doing no PMO, honestly, going without M for a week was quite difficult in my 20s now, it is much easier, I think the lower sex drive that comes with age is mainly to thank. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Day 17/30 Thank you! Feels like I'm rocketing towards every milestones now at 200 mph, but I try to enjoy it before it all goes down again (future relapses, mood swings, flatline, motivation disappear, etc etc)
You got this! All that matters is that you're here making the next effort that you will take you one step closer to recovery.
Day 18/30 For me personally, it could be a lower sex drive that comes with age, but I think it’s more that I’m able to control it.. my sex drive is still high & can run rampant if unchecked (like it did in February). Perhaps a bit of both. You’re close to 3 weeks my man! That’s a toughy to reach & pass. Good one. Nice to see you @Ghost️ I’m digging the new profile pic, a new revamped you. Your resolve has been rock solid so far keep it going thru the hard times.. I hope to see you with me in the triple digits haha that’s a tall order I know. But we can do it.
Day Thanks @Plan ㋛. I figured I would put on my happy face! It’s been taking everything in me to keep getting out of bed every morning. Trying to push past the tired depression feelings. Thanks @Sam78 @Odelshorn @Revanthegrey and everyone else for the support. I’m looking forward to May and doing better.
As usual I love the encouragement that you're offering up And the music video is FIRE, the late 90s were a great time for music... @Odelshorn you can count me in on this challenge as well, would love to get to the Club with this crew
Day 19/30 @Plan ㋛, sounds like we need a Triple digit challenge? Should we just use this and change the name, or make a new one, in 12 days? Splendid!! We're all in this together @ghost, I'm looking forward to build up our streaks together in the upcoming weeks! It's great to see you back again
Day 19/30 We fight for the peace & joy that comes from the freedom from PMO. Mind the snakes crew! Very distinguished ..how did you get that gapped front tooth if you don’t mind me asking? Good job @ghost you’re being put thru the wringer.. when you get out of this funk you’re gonna be a stronger, better & happier person.. so that’s something to look forward to. For now take your time & be gentle with yourself. Well done on almost 3 days now @Sam78 the initial first few days can be the hardest time. Hmm that’s an interesting idea, I had to think about that for a minute @Odelshorn I hadn’t thought of that & there are some pro’s to it. But I prefer to make a new monthly (MMM), it will be refreshing to start a new thread, a 100 days challenge can be intimidating.. we can do a triple digits challenge amongst us tho, kinda like an inside thing between us .. but focusing on the particular month / on doing well each month / every 30 days incrementally will be beneficial. What do you guys think? I’m open to discussion & making changes if a day (Triple Digits) challenge is “what the people want”?
Day 3 I say stick with the monthly challenge method. Doing that will eventually get you to triple digits anyway. No point I messing with what’s working. I like shooting for my goals so much...I knocked out my front tooth to remind me of a goal post.
Day 20/30 No need to rush @Plan ㋛, I see your point! Looking forward to MMM though, and if the next month is going to have the same super speed as April, we'll already hit those triple digits in no time
Day 20/30 - We’re hitting the 20’s now.. it’s the final stretch! I’m hungover today & the temptation to look at P is there.. but no worries I got this! Haha nice. “I got up yesterday at noon.. but for today” - we can learn a lot from this guy! That’s the kinda ‘AAA’ attitude we need.. but for MMM. Stay strong over the weekend everybody.
This is how I felt when the “chains broke” after my ‘February Rock-Bottom’ & before starting my current streak. It’s a point at which I think we all come to just before overcoming the PMO addiction. It’s an experience or realisation that happens that integrates the fragmented or wounded parts of our psyche. How to make this psychological experience or realisation of healing happen? This is hard to know or do, for if we knew we would do no? But even if we knew it & did it, you can’t force the experience or realisation to happen, it happens by itself, it must be genuine & whole. It’s like walking in a dark room fumbling you hands in the air, over the wall looking for the light switch.. suddenly you find it & the lights on. Just do what you feel you got to do, perhaps try a different approach that would provoke a different experiential feeling. Let the self-actualising tendency within you do it’s thing. This isn’t to say that all my insecurities are gone. And some people’s recovery may come about in a different way.
