A Progressive Challenge-A different kind of challenge- all levels

Day 38/45
Overslept the whole day! Not pissed off about it though. I think I needed the rest.
I had a porn dream yesterday night just after falling asleep. To my surprise, I woke myself up immediately, and started to think about something else, using the "name 3 things.." technique! Wow, I am starting to have dream control. This is awesome.

From where you are in the process, don't worry about it yet. It will come, sooner or later. Know that you are on the good path, and that sooner or later, the benefits will come.
My experience with social stuff is that it just gets better by itself - one day you find yourself talking to someone all relaxed and easy-going.
You should read Josh's great post about this same thing I quote it in this post.

LOL! Dogs are the best, they are always happy and content to live in the moment. They are always up for a walk, they also like to just hang out and take a nap. Very inspiring to us anxious and wired humans. I think I know exactly what you mean.

You are going through the hardest time, day 2-5 is the darkest period. There is light on the other side. Keep going!

You are really aware of yourself, you see this day of no exercise as a potential threat. That is self-knowledge. Good job, keep it up. Exercise is important, for sure!

This was a great post. Thank you for sharing. I am happy for you, and inspired by your story of naturalness coming back.

 

But my complete day has gone waste it seems, there is full anxiety today, not liking it at all, after having beautiful days before. Feeling kinda lost. But i have not repeated mistake of not doing exercise today. Hope everything will be better tomorrow .

 

I relapsed today. This time I am very dissappointed at myself. Day 0 of 10

 

day 8/90. I want to thank Single Palme Change for his words and his advices

 

Life is full of ups and downs, don't worry about it. I don't think you wasted the day at all - you didn't PMO! And IME on the hard days you learn the most.

Spend a few minutes thinking about what was going on before you did it. What thoughts went through your head before you decided to relapse? Were you trying to avoid something, were you stressed about something? Why did you reach out for P?
It's probably difficult to pin down the complete reason, but if you get a broad idea of the situation, you can try and figure out what you could have done instead of pmo.
Was there any "early warning" signs, that you could have used to get out and go for a walk or anything?

You can get to 7 days again. Let's do it.

 

12/14

I am just enjoying my life at the moment. The last months I have become more social, and more sympathic. I’m better at socialising, with girls too. For a big part this is because of NoFap. I’m happy and thankful because of that!

Nice! Thanks for sharing this.

You can’t have only good days. Tomorrow will be better hopefully.

Dogs are just awesome. When I’m on a good streak, I am more softhearted and emotional. A common thing like a video of a happy puppy for example can cause a lump in my troath. Nothing wrong with that.

 

Day 27/33..

 

Shit. Shit, shit, shit. I thought I was through this relapse binge thing, but it's been a week and I'm not out of the cloud yet. I think I didn't catch it early enough to keep some of my habits, and I pretty much reverted to the way I used to be, so it's not easy getting back into this. However, I'm getting there, and learning my triggers all over again. I'm also realizing around the time my relapse started I started getting exposed to a stimulus I had never been exposed to throughout my NoFap journey, so that definitely contributed to it. Back to 0/4.

 

Just wanted to share some motivation with anyone in here struggling with this. Well, more dissuasion from PMO than motivation, but it'll serve the same purpose. 2-3 weeks ago, I was at the top of my game, and I hadn't PMO'd in nearly 60 days. My skin was clear, I had tons of energy and social skills and confidence to spare. In my PE class, we did benchmarks for pushups and crunches. I could do 48 pushups before my arms gave out, and over 200 crunches. However, right before I hit 60 days, I relapsed, and actively chose not to do anything to stop it. I've never regretted a decision more. My energy is gone. Somehow, in less than a month, I've gone down to being able to do about 25 pushups and 50 crunches before my muscles give out. I've started getting a crap ton of acne all over my face, and my skin is a lot less smooth overall. As well, a decent amount of my confidence has gone away, and my old creepy anxious self is peaking out from time to time. Stay strong everyone. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't get too curious and fall off that cliff.

 

day 20/21, almost there

 

Day 10/100
I just woke up from a dream that I had about my ex-crush because I saw there something that I didn't want to see.
(Actually, it wasn't that big of a deal [wasn't a big deal at all] but because the wounds are still fresh it hurts.)
Anyway, I'm not gonna let it take me down.
I'm feeling great, no urges, no negative thoughts, NOTHING!
I can't believe that I'm already on day 10!

HAHA, exactly bro!
Good job for reaching to day 12 by the way!

You're right!
I guess that that's exactly what I need right now.
I'm glad to see that you are on day 38, keep up the good work man!

UPDATE :
I just got back home from the university and I'm feeling awesome!
I'm very motivated and happy (even hyper at some point)
I really don't know how to explain to you the amount of happiness that I have right now.
I also feel extremely confident about myself.

 

Made it through Day 1! T'was a pretty good day!
Keep moving forward!

 

Day 4/60, doing good. The longer I'm on the nofap journey the stronger my willpower against porn gets.

 

day 39/45
Not much to say. Not so motivated about my life today. Meh.. This will pass in a few days.

 

I feel you, bro.
stay strong!
