[7-CHALLENGE] THE SEVEN DAYS CHALLENGE !

hi all! day 0 for me, too

 

Ok so today counts 4 days PMO free and I feel great.
I feel every time that I refuse this drug my resistance is strengthining and I feel great

 

Start of day 1.

 

Day 6,check in.

 

I'm on day 6 now has been going pretty well but mega horny today, hard to concentrate on writing my essay! Seeing my girlfriend in the next week who lives abroad so I will be going "soft mode". It's the porn I really want to cut out. Gota be careful to not fall back into it after sex. Reading a cool book called "Real Sex" now too by Lousada and Mazanti. Covers similar topics that NoFap is about it seems.

 

Day 6 - Today's morning I felt sleepiness and tiredness for not particular reason. I had a good sleep.
My biggest concern when doing this challenge is depression. It usually starts when I reach 10 Days and it can last for weeks. That was pretty much the main reason I have ended my 45 Days streak a year ago.
Now, I have one more year of meditation experience and I have some more tools to deal with it. It is pretty scary, but it won't go away as long as I am masturbating. Masturbation was always my main tool when "dealing" with emotions. One fap and they are gone, I am only left with my "standard" and familiar emotions: Sadness, guilt and anxiety. I prefer feeling them over depression.

It is interesting, when I am masturbating I don't like bad on the outside. I am full of energy and I don't experience any negative emotions. Life is fine.

On the other hand, when I watch porn I look like shit! And I feel tired and it feels like everything I do is forced.

Now, masturbation does not have any particular negative effect on me, but I know I have some serious issues that I need to deal with. Masturbation is a form of Escapism at least in my case.

What I expect from doing this is it might allow me to process my deep burred emotions in my daily meditations

 

Congratulations!
I'll be there

 

I completed the challenge

 

I am in!! First time I see this thread so I guess I passed lol.Today is my 7th day pmo free so I will go on to the 14 days.Good luck to all.Remember,we are powerful beyond measure

 

Day 7/7 in this challenge. I am satisfied to conclude it. I do not know if it is a mental trap, but within a few hours of achieving the goal the temptation to see P or M was very strong. Grateful that I realized what was happening and avoid falling on the last day of the challenge. One's mind is capable of playing tricks on you. Satisfied of this. I will join the new challenge of 14 days. keep in touch. I pray for all of us!

 

On the journey!

 

The challenge mindset is a mistake if you ask me.

Recovery is more important than counting days.

 

Congrats!

 

Day 3 (Actually Day 4 in a few hours), going through the rollercoaster of literally withdrawing this addiction but riding it out.

No desire to relapse. If I do, that means I would have to go through this again. No.

Stay strong brothers!

 

Day 4 is almost over, so far so good.

 

You can't "recover" unless you actually Stop PMO.
This thread is active and it gives you a sense of commitment. I'll rather write here and interact with people doing the same thing as I do and going trough the same as I do, than write in pretty much dead sections of the forum "Reboot Logs".

 

I agree. This is a commitment and accountability for many of us in this particular 7 day challenge thread.

 

I participate. Day 0 for this challenge...

 

Day 6 & 7 - No PMO
I'm not having troubles with urges at the moment. I'm really focused on my studies to get the driving license. I have the exam on friday.
I'm definitely participating in the 14-days challenge!

 

In the middle of day 4 here.stay strong everyone.
