      That weekend strength reminds me of the verse where he mounts us up on “wings like eagles, they will walk and not faint”

      Conquering some stresses at work. Just feels like I can’t get everything done. Need to bring my hope of heaven into todays reality.

      Rode the dopamine train too far. Needed to have pumped the breaks. Details in my journal.

        My personal favourite is Psalms 73, a real eye-opener.

      Beat an urge this morning at my computer by pausing and thinking about what my stresses are. Then breathing out and releasing them to God.

      Had a slip yesterday. That one and the one before were not followed by binges. I need to pursue time with God a bit more to settle my mind

        Good job not binging. That's a big step in the right direction. First thing I want to do after a slip is . . . slip again. Also, you are resisting. You can't have a slip if you're not trying to get better.

      On another reboot... beginning to see the time and energy wasted on PMO in my life. Looking to do work on my identity in Christ!

      Nothing like being on the front line of a life coming to Jesus to remind you about your purpose. Ty Lord for letting me be a part of it!

      Finished a stressful weekend work event. Slowing down today to reflect on how I could've done better. Also finding myself again. Kept clean!

      On day 3 of recovery. This time I’m setting a goal of 14 days; a step I seem to have missed before. =/

      Been enjoying staying over with friends! Limited urges. My schedule has been purposeful. Maybe boredom is a driver for my PMOs

    It began in 5th or 6th grade, about age 11-12 and has followed me many many years till now at age 25.

    I grew up in a Christian home without father, who left before i was born. I found the Lord at a young age at 6 and committed my life to Christ, and loved to follow him.

    Once this shackle attached itself to me, I was truly serving two masters. I desired all my life to be freed from this hinderance. I faithfully continue walking with the Lord to this day, but the reality of what that means only began to start hitting.

    Self Control. I have thought that I had been exhibiting this fruit of the spirit, i was easily angered as a kid when an injustice was done to me in a game, but grew out of that stage. But it has been in these past couple of years that I realized that I lack self-control in denying my self the temporal pleasures of PMO and choosing life that can be had abundantly.

    For a while I was focused on modifying my behavior while neglecting the heart and reason for these things. My anxiety to engage with girls after being told not to have a girlfriend till I graduate college. My longing to be in an intitmate relationship with another while my friends all began to move that direction (as much a middle schooler could do). Wishing I could just be held by someone.

    And so, I begin my documented NoFap Journey on April 14, 2020 to have daily checkins and just have a place to write out what I have been feeling and the healing that can come.
