    I've noticed a lot of people have had difficulty completing the 6 month task, so I wanted a plan that broke this task down into smaller intervals. Here's how it works. The experts say that it takes 21 days to break a habit...so we're gonna go for 21 days then after the first 21 day period, you have a choice to opt for a second 21 day period, then after that the third and so on. After each option you'll start back to Day 1 and label it 2nd option, 3rd option, whatever option it is and go all the way to 21 again. The options must be consecutive or you have to start over at period one. Feel free to log your experience in this thread and also extend support to others (not judgement, guilt, or pessimism). During this period of no masturbation you may have sex as often as you like :up:. It is not recommended that you watch porn as it may hurt your mission but it is not prohibited.

    Here's what your progression should look like:

    1/21...

    1/21 2nd option

    1/21 3rd option....etc.

    THE TIME IS NOW!

    I'm in. Sounds like a really good idea. I haven't gone 21 days with masturbation since I started this fight, but I feel ready. So ready. Let's do this.

    Count me in!!

    I had a 30days streak ended 3 days ago!! I m not a fan of counting days but yes it takes 21 days to form or break a habit but it takes 72 days for it to really drill in to the system!!

    I am passing the six month point right now. As impossible as it seems when you start it, over time it really gets easier and before you know it you'll be there. Just take it day by day. Every day is day one. You got this!

    Good Morning
    wishing you all grace for this day.

    Made it through the night and so this is day 3.
    just being able to write that here and admit the problem is a hell of a thing, I actually felt a level of happiness and excitement of life waking up this morning, not my usual dread in the heart.

    bless us all

    Bless you Richmond.. yes it's early days but just admitting the addiction here is such a lifting of the burden.

    Thank you so much. It's amazing that we have this space to support each other.

    Peace
