Please Join me!!!!!

I'm defenetly with you guys. it's now my 8th day of changing and choosing what to watch and what to think

 

DAY 5
In a good mood today. But I've only slept 5 hours, big erections while i was trying to sleep. I guess it's normal during the first days. If anyone have advices to beat insomnia, i'm taking it.

 

Great 2 c everyone on board. We are unstoppable! Day 11 for me, but no matter what the day is for you really seize it. Don't take it for granted. Life is precious. At my job I see people die of terminal cancer and other diseases. Young and old. Life is a gift we don't appreciate sometimes. Today really be good to yourself and love yourself. Take time to tell someone you love them and how much they mean to you: a friend,spouse, siginificant other,mom,dad,son, brother, whoever.....

 

Try exercise. One of my best nights of sleep recently after a had done a 6 milet run earlier in the day.

 

Hey guys, why am I becoming more desentisized to music with streak building up?

 

Yes i thought about that too, thanks

 

Justice fan? I'm a huuuuge music listener and i noticed that i listen to less music than before the streak. And especially that my tastes or becoming different, i prefer to listen to slower music and minimalist sounds. Don't know yet if it's really related to nofap but we will figure it out.

 

Not a fan, but I have few Justice albums My music which I felt so much before (btw I'm a FLAC audiophile) now doesn't give me so much emotions..

 

FLAC? Try to listen to new things, or just wait til the reboot to see if the problem is related to nofap.

 

Our tastes can change. Try something different for inspiration if music fails. There is always something else. As for better sleep: limit caffeine (no coffee in the pm hours) don't drink alcohol at least 2 hours before bed, take a cold shower and meditate 10 minutes before bed.

 

I realize I am a little late to the party, I just stumble on to your challenge this morning, but count me in. You guys are killing it. Never underestimate the power of a group of motivated and excited individuals. As I read through your posts, I feel energized by your energy. I am STOKED for this challenge. I am realizing more every day the need to follow as many people as I can on here. Every day I find someone new who motivates me. Thanks for that. My old college football team had a saying, "The strength of the herd is in the Bison, the strength of the Bison is in the herd." Keep killing it together.

WE ARE STRONG TOGETHER

 

Day 4

Not gonna lie, this is challenge. But then again no one (including myself) said it would be easy...just worth it. As i have mentioned in a previous post PMO became a stress reliever for me in times of depression or anxiety. A viscious circle triggered by some negative life event that was compounded by post PMO feelings of failure because i couldn't control it or just lost that battle or sought it out to numb the pain. Current life events are posing difficulties...but NOT impossibilities. This challenge helps a bit with the depression because every success makes me feel stronger, better than the fay before. I am training/strengthening the mind by utlizing various refocusing tactics. And the time that would have been spent on PMO is now dedicated to other much more productive things like physical/mental fitness and other hobbies.

Demons beware...this warrior is out to get you.

Good day to you all.

 

Welcome to the herd fellow Bison!

 

I hear what you are saying. Like you and many others, I used PMO to relieve stress. I would also say that I am going through one of the most stressful times in my life right now. I realize though, that if I can defeat this demon now, when I am at rock bottom, I will own it forever. We are here because we share this struggle, lets stay banded together and crush this demon.

WE ARE STRONG TOGETHER

 

Stay strong. Pick up the pieces and we will help you put them together. Stay connected and stay involved with NoFap and this thread. Journal every day and hold yourself accountable to this group. Feed off of the positive energy, these guys are great.

WE ARE STRONG TOGETHER

 

THx Sir! I have started to kick ass but you have kicked a dozens of asses already.

 

Are you listening to the same tracks repeatedly? Try different artists or different genres. I listen to all kinds of stuff: classical, jazz, rock (any era), opera, soul/r&B, salsa, bachata, etc. Or try a different art form maybe like sketching, painting, etc.

 

Thanks!

 

yes, sitting at the computer for a few hours. That's going to happen. I sometimes forget how much time I have wasted but it's easy to sick at a computer all day to get a fix of pmo.

 

I see, hope all the best for you guys and your rebooting!
