Accountability for All

Day 9. No problems. Fever subsided, and slight urge that could have been dealt easily.

I'm planning to map my journey like that to keep me motivated. At least I'll get my personal urge calendar which I'll print out and put up in my office later

 

Day 23 in the books!

 

I did cue exposure today like 7 times. Just looking at the names of the sites ,can give you some weird urges. This is kind of hard.

 

Whatever it takes to conquer this habit! You've got this brother

Keep pushing on man! Your progress is inspiring, with 13 days already under your belt. What's one more?

Day 3 Check in

 

I relapsed a few moments ago. I think it's time to have some accountability involved. Since couldn't find an AP i'll stick to this group that seems really cool.
Soo, it's day Zero for me. I'll enable my counter in a few moments. If someone is looking for a serious personal AP hit me up

 

Day 3 report

Oh man, I've been so busy with school that i forgot to post the last couple of days. I'll say this much, having something to work towards is a potent distraction even from urges and euphoric recall.

 

Day 46 or 7.
Have been struggling with urges in the night. I had a dream where I thought it was a wet dream but I woke up and nothing was lost. So was happy about that but dreams are confusing.
I had had a couple close calls earlier in the week where I woke up and edged a little bit. But yeah I'm trying to make sure that doesn't continue.

 

Day 24 in the books!

 

I did cue exposure almost 12 times yesterday, I also peeked more than I should have in the last attempt, which kind of sucks. And feels sick to look at P when your not horny asf. I hope I this cue exposing doesnt go to waste and makes me destroy addiction

Yes, lol, even I am surprised by this streak.

 

Nice bro , u feeling disgusted about it is a good sign. How are you doing it btw? whats the process ??

 

Yes ,but i can't guarantee I'll feel the same when the urges become stronger. It will take more days.

I open Google search some p, open the site , at first you'll feel the rush of dopamine and excitement, but before the images load up , I close the site and do 5 push ups .
After doing like 10 sessions, I start the blocker to be safe .
I have done this for 8 days (skipped a few days). All I can say is the excitement is reducing . And I don't get the same urges as I used to.

 

Day 11: very easy day . No feeling day. A big urge should be around 14 or 19. Let's see. I'm glad to reach double digit after 5-6 attempts

 

Day 1,always easy

 

Good for you. Not sure if I'd be able to safely do this. I have however practiced feeling how I would feel after a relapse. So in my head if triggered I fast forward the PMO to how I feel straight after. This has been very helpful for me.
In other words I don't think about the actions but merely the emptiness and guilt etc afterwards this has a way of confirming why I decided to quit it in the first place.

 

Day 25 in the books! Also finished reading a book called “As A Man Thinketh”

 

Day - 15
I only did it once yesterday . Since I hit 15 days , now I think I can start counting my streaks again.

Yes, different people have different ways to beat this addiction. We should all keep trying until something clicks and starts working.

 

Thats true, start of 3rd week has been very dangerous for me . Majorly i relapse during that time. According to a video , in general, it takes 40 days , when the pathways start to become weaker (this for hardcore addicts).

Thats a nice idea. How did u start to implement it . because Usually when the rush comes i forget stuff. Any ideas how can i remember to visualize the guilt ?

 

Start practicing it even when you are not tempted or triggered.
Sit down somewhere quiet and just imagine your about to relapse do not stay in a place of fantasy. I like to pretent to fast forward past the actual physical action. And just remember all the suffering that fapping has caused me. Sit in the bog of self pity. Stay in the shame and guilt and when I feel all these things I ask myself. So is relapsing really worth it? Is the moment or seconds of pleasure worth hours and days of guilt anxiety low interest in things. And for me it means I feel distant from God and I cannot handle that. For me that is my biggest incentive.
Also I like to remind myself if I do meet someone I'd like to be able to eventually satisfy her and I know with pmo still in my life I'd be trash I'm bed and it would be a massive letdown.
In this situation it is good to remember all the negatives and they outweigh the good.
If you get a blank piece of paper draw a line down the middle. Write pros and cons on either side. Some examples to start you off
Pro. few seconds of pleasure. Cons guilt anxiety trash in bed. Lack of motivation. Little interest in life. I'm sure you will find the cons outweigh the pros! Good luck message me here or pm if you want to chat or have any more questions!
All the best.

 

Day 12. Minor urge due to being bored and having nothing to do. Decided not to watch TV and not to use mobile for two to three slots of 3hrs each. Now I realize how much time was wasted away , it never felt like hours when I was PMO. Now I have so much time.
