    Hey it was fun, I'm already back, caught about 80lbs of fish, 12 cohos, 2 kings, and 2 halibut. Was in Sitka for a day
     
  2. I am a little late. I started binging at the end of juli but it is still enough days left of the month to beat my record :) Aiming for 120 days. That essentially means that I am never going to fap again.

    For some days I was wondering: how can I still be in the August Challenge after having relapsed on August 2th ?!

    Well I've seen it in the July challenge that for some ppl it was a FapLess-challenge.
    So for me now the goal is: come out of the month with a balance of 30 days no fapping.

    If I fail again this month I will punish myself. I didn't make up my mind yet how. it has to be positive and hurting at the same time... kind of. Too tired now. Any ideas out there?

    Have a good night all you!

    Hey guys. --
    Saturday 8/8 was 30 day NoFap for me. Each of your stories have helped me. (Thanks all). Continuing forward like every day is day one with determination and of course dependency upon the grace of God with the August challenge.

    Also. -- Last week was my 1 year anniversary of giving up smoking. :-D
    Triple by-pass was the motivation for stopping that habit. Unfortunately I reverted back to another addiction which has brought me to this wacky forum and all you helpful stiffs.

    I'm sending kindest regards to all in this month's challenge. Hold on tight to your commitment and not your dick!

    Love and prayers

  8. Keep going! You know that you have to go trough this sooner or later. The best time to start was last year, the second best is now!

    But you didn't M or O to it, if I'm understanding correctly. A setback? Yes. But there is also a great positive to be seen here: you had the presence of mind, and self discipline, to stop before making it worse. It would have been easy to say "well, since my counter is reset anyway..." You did not do that. You said "this is bad, but I will not make it worse," and acted accordingly. Well done!

    Today I had a curveball thrown at me. As I was playing XCOM, I had this unnatural feel that I just had to jerk off, but fortunately I didn't do it. I kinda wasted the afternoon trying to forget about it, but I feel that I came out stronger because of it.

    No frozen lakes anywhere near :p
    But I've got an idea. If I should fail again this month (watch another second of porn intentionally) I shall wear one piece of womens' cloth in public:oops:. For pmo I have to wear at least a blouse or dresso_O. Of course I would post a photo here ;)

    I don't know if that's a good idea; that could develop into a fetish that could lead you back to porn.

    er I don't think so. It's just out of fun. But would be embarrassing too. BTW I would take a anonymous photo: no face!

    But embarassment would then get linked to porn, and arousal, potentially. That could be discouraging, as you intend, or it could develop into a humiliation fetish. I might choose something a little less emotional, like denying yourself something you enjoy, or giving yourself chores like scrubbing the kitchen floor, or something else you don't like to do.
