    5/6. Personally I think I have been edging, whatever that is, given that I have abandoned all sorts of pursuits of fantasies and memory recalling for the purpose of sexual arousal. I will try to sharpen my sword and if it happens again, I will fight it. If I edge like this more than once per step, I will go back one step.

    Thank you !

    I begin step 4 for self improvement, to gain more confidence, enjoy better health and out of respect for myself and others.

    In the context of pmo, that term is used to describe m without o.

    0/5.

    Just a few months ago I had a no porn streak of almost 1000 days. Suddenly, I slipped and now I have problems getting a streak over a week. I think it's the motivation level that is different now. The motivation to abstain porn just go away the moment I think of it.

    It feels like I stopped three years ago because I really knew how bad porn was in practice. Now it feels like I know that only in theory and that strong willpower to stop that I had before is gone.

    I think I need to take a step back and plot a graph over my resets since I slipped. That will probably show an escalation of my resets. If that is the case, it's only a matter of extrapolation to see where the whole thing goes.

    Okay, time to see the results of your streaks.

    To see a graph of your streaks, reply to this message and I will add you to the graph. What I need from you is a list of the last dates for your last streaks. Format for dates is YYYY-MM-DD.

    For example, if your last reset was at 2021-04-26, that means the streak you were working on before that date ended on 2021-04-25, which is the date I need from you. So in practice, give me a list of all the dates that are one day before all your resets.

    Here is my list, write it the same way please :)
    ["2021-02-08", "2021-02-14", "2021-02-17", "2021-03-07", "2021-03-17", "2021-03-22", "2021-04-06", "2021-04-19", "2021-04-25", "2021-04-26"]

    What you see in the graph is this: x-axis is the number of days back in time and the y-axis is the streak length.

    If you have any questions, please ask and if you have any feedback for improvement, please let me know.

    The last data point is an estimate of you next streak's length, so every time you update your status that point will move if you continue on your streak.

    Once you have given me some data, I will take care of keeping the data up to date (I have already automated everything)

    Fell to MO again today, so I will downgrade to step four
     
  14. Old faces back :emoji_thumbsup:
    Be soon back in five!
    That's a cool idea! But how can the graph be incrementally declining?

    Did you happen to see when I made some plots in my journal perhaps a year ago? At that time I used to have data for more than 900 days, but now I've lost the counts during the last few months. There were one or two pretty bad months early this year.

    That’s because the only time you’re improving is when your current streak becomes longer than your previous one. Until then, your performance is actually declining.

    By plotting it like this, you could actually get a horizontal line through several resets, if your streaks becomes equal in length every time.

    Again, the data for the y-axis is the length of each streak and after a reser it will point downwards, but if you succeed in abstain pmo for a bit longer, it will point less and less downwards and after you surpass your last streak, it will start to point upwards instead.

    (nota bene: I was seeking something that would be continuous and reflects my performance over time)

    I didn’t see your graphs! Do you have a link?

    Just did an attempt to collect your data guys!

    If something isn't right and you want a fix, please tell me so. This is the input data I've been using:
    {
    "100%": ["2021-02-08", "2021-02-14", "2021-02-17", "2021-03-07", "2021-03-17", "2021-03-22", "2021-04-06", "2021-04-19", "2021-04-24", "2021-04-25", "2021-04-26", "2021-04-27"],
    "Beasthunter1998": ["2021-03-01", "2021-03-02", "2021-03-05", "2021-03-10", "2021-03-13", "2021-03-15", "2021-03-18", "2021-03-23", "2021-03-25", "2021-03-26", "2021-03-30", "2021-04-01", "2021-04-05", "2021-04-06", "2021-04-08", "2021-04-10", "2021-04-19", "2021-04-22", "2021-04-27"],
    "The Great Safecracker": ["2021-02-10", "2021-02-13", "2021-02-14", "2021-02-16", "2021-03-23", "2021-03-27", "2021-03-31", "2021-04-22", "2021-04-24", "2021-04-27"],
    "Sinbad": ["2021-04-16", "2021-04-18", "2021-04-27"]
    }

    The last date is just todays date and will be changed as the time goes by.
