Abstain from PMO April 2017. Time to be PMO-Free in April, official monthly commitment thread.

I was going strong in march, but failed. Maybe I was not determined enough. But now I am starting again in April and this time I've got to complete the 30 days challenge.

 

I'm joining this month on hard mode. I am new to this community and I hope it will give me the accountability I need to rewind. Day 1.

 

Let's do this. Extreme hard-mode, No PMO or looking intentionally at picture who arouse me. I lost my 52 day streak to a musical video! (Arguable that it was a relapse.). Let's conquer this month.

If we fall down, we have to stand up at once. But we shall never surrender!

 

Hello.

Having started late in last month’s challenge I would like to continue to commit to NoFap’s PMO-free ‘hard-mode’ 1 month challenge. I am taking it step by step as I have not been able to go without PMO for more than two weeks over the last 4 years. Thus my aim is to make it to the end of April, and essentially work my way up to 90 days (3 months). More if possible.

My rationale for doing this challenge is because I need to stop objectifying (lust) people and consequently missing their person or psyche (mind, spirit, soul). Also, I suffer from sexual dysfunction PIED so need my system to rewire or reboot itself, to normalise. Also my spiritual, psychological and physical health has suffered as a consequence of my addiction (a symptom of life stress I have been experiencing) and I also need the community support to help me attain my goals. Basically, learn to like myself again, be a decent human from self-discipline.

So far I have managed No-PMO since 17.3.2017. Nope, I stand corrected. I'm ashamed to admit I have relapsed as of yesterday 1.4.2017 (see my journal (link in signature) for further info) so have set my counter to zero again for f*** sake

 

Okay guys, this it is. First day in april. Lets GO!

 

How do you remove images or fantasy videos from your head? I get images of me having sex with my gf although we have never done it before and I don't intend to. They stop temporarily but come back again and again. Any suggestions?

 

Count me in.

 

I'm in! Three days PMO free, only sexual activity will be with my wife Best of luck to all fellow fapstronauts doing this!

 

Great job thus far! I, like most others in the group, can relate to everything you're going through; although, we own our journeys individually. I'm on day 4 of my very first hard 90 reboot and I'm pretty motivated and committed to be a NOFAP success story. So here's to our success and all the best to you!

 

I'm in.

Thanks for your encouragement - much appreciated; and success and the best to you too

 

From my understanding, the aim is not to suppress the idea (images) but to gently refocus your attention towards a constructive goal, as many times as required, which retrains the mind. NB: It is at the point that the idea originates in the head (inception) that one has most control over it, otherwise it can escalate and build up in force (consuming) and so becomes harder to manage. Thus have a (goal or image) in mind that you can replace the sexual gratification goal (image) with. It can be a constructive (building) goal or idea reminding you to possibly exercise, study, socialise, or meditate, for example (basically whatever interests you have), then you are more likely to follow through with the new goal instead of act out with the old goal. Consider that you are wanting to redirect your (sexual) energy, to channel it, direct it towards healthy pursuits. I say this as much for me as for you. I hope it helps. Best wishes and success to you

 

I would also like to take part in this challenge, hopefully I will also finish this challenge without a relapse

 

Count me in, this is the day I relapsed after 7 days of retaining PMO, time to start a new journey on april 2st. I relapsed today so tomorrow is day 1 for me. My highscore is three weeks during recovering from a traffic accident. My goal is to cut the crp and hold on to pmo for god knows how long it takes to get this addiction under control.

 

I'M IN!!... Let's finish it together brothers

 

Good thing about this is today is my birthday!!

 

I'm in! I'll be going hardmode. My aim is to reach 90 days, I'm currently on 50!

 

The best gift you could give to yourself is to reach your own goals. You're not alone buddy, we're in this together and happy freaking birthday!

 

I'm in for April! No PM only I with my wife. I have 30 days of abstinence from PM and this will get me to 60 days! I dthink not think I've gone this long without PM since I was a teenager and I'm 42 now!

Best Wishes to everyone!

Steve

 

I'm in, I have tried multiple times before, but this time, I have a feeling I will be able to resist.
