I want to do this challenge because it is the shortest one. I'm intending for it to be a baby step toward a longer one in the future. One step at a time. For now I was happy to have woken up on time, eaten well, and exercised this morning. Now I am going to go to the library so I will be out of the house but where I can get some work done before a noon AA meeting. This past weekend was awful. I ended up binging to PMO (ruining a 3 day streak) and even drank too. I was home alone the entire weekend and didn't see anybody since Friday. 2 1/2 days without physically seeing/interacting with people is hard. I am learning I need to manage my introversion (thanks to the YT uploader Porn Reboot). All of this considered, I am looking forward to bed already. I didn't sleep well last night. I hope all of this intention goes toward a life I love. I am reading "Zen and the Art of Happiness" and it speaks about how mindset drastically affects our reality notably on cellular lever. When our cells propagate, the number of and type of receptors in the cell are influenced by their parent (cell). So, if I have been PMOing for 20+ years most if not all of my cells will have receptors framing that reality into my mind and body(depression, instant gratification, etc). It is because of this realization that I see the wisdom in 30-90 day reboots. I hope this simple 3 day challenge will get me started on my larger goals.
Day 0 I am restarting this today for the 1000000000000000000000th time and I will keep trying another 10000000000000000000000000 times because its possible to quit this problem!
The last two months I've had continuous relapses, and I didn't visit this forum. I think I need to, it helps me in my process. So I'm starting these challenges again, today is day 1.
Sounds like you're getting in the right mindset already and like you have a clear vision of why you're doing this and what you need to do. I'll have to check out that book. Day 1/3 complete for me.
