Day 4 here. Came upon a quote that changed my perspective within my mind that has augmented my approach when dealing with these temptations. "We gain the strength of the temptation we resist." Seeing it this way gives me enormous hope when confronted by a massive urge that I know will present itself sometime in the near future. The last urge I had after 48 days of abstinence (which was incredibly powerful) was a gift, but I unknowingly denied its fruit as I failed to see the true bounty it had in store for me. I now welcome any urges that arise out of no fault of my own as they are a gift of strength waiting to embolden my being and instill within me a sense of overcoming that which has so far drained me of the same strength for so long. Stay Strong, Hold Steady, Keep Focused!!!
A year and a half ago I stopped drinking coffee and it affected my focus noticeably, I thought I was never going to get that back, but now after only a week off PMO I am starting to get that edge back, Thank you NoFAP, I'm off to the 14-day challenge and oh yes, @2525
