How do you guys reward yourself for hitting a milestone?

If your feeling generous and have the money, take someone out to eat! Or go to the movies?

 

What about giving yourself another 50 days free of PMO?

BTW, congratulations for achieving almost two months free of that poison

 

Your "reward" is the gradual separation from reality and fantasy, the increase in self discipline and respect, and all the little benefits that come with it (erections, increased testosterone, better sex, etcetera). It is in many ways a "reboot" of your life, of course it won't be the first nor the last, however it is definitely an enormous shift as a whole.

 

Well done on doing 50 days! Stay strong!

About the reward, I agree with melancholy king, but why not go celebrate such as eating at a place you love with someone (assuming if you told anyone in your close circle about this) or in fact, go out on a hike. You're going to experience a completely different feeling now that you've spent that many days clean, you will see things differently. Just a thought.

Keep on Sky!

 

Hmmm! Remain vigilant I say! lol

And add another nought to 50. Next goal- 500. Then add another nought- 5000.Then to infinity and beyond!!!!

 

I don't really do the reward thing.. But I was considering making a money jar or something, for every day that I don't PMO I put in $1 (for example). Then at the end of a streak, say 30 days, I use the money I saved and buy something cool!

What happens if I relapse? Well then that money goes to a separate 90 day jar, which I will not be allowed to open until I finish 90 days straight of NoFap. That could give me an incentive not to relapse.

What do you guys think? These systems are kind of strange in my opinion, because you are enforcing a rule on yourself. Has anyone tried it with success?

 

My counter is my money.... that is, I look at it like money in the bank in the sense that I VALUE it. Am I going to go on a spending spree and waste ALL my savings? No! Am I going to look at P and kill my counter? No!

Go hard people! : )

 

When I get to 45 or 60 days free and clear I think I will let myself get back into dating. I think that will be my reward.

 

Haha, wow I am hardly good at dating (lots of mixed signals for me too). I like to meet people and I want to try to find that special person out there for me. This reboot is about being ready for a real relationship when I meet that person.

 

Usually with a celebratory fap

 

Maybe that's not the best idea lol.

In truth, I have to wonder whether or not "allowing" myself to try to date is a reward and more like thinking I am ready for a relationship. I royally bungled my last relationship, and I think some part of that is pmo. I hardly did it in that relationship and I still think it caused me issues!

Maybe for my current goal I will do a movie day where I go to multiple movies in one day. It's been a while since I did that. Thanks for the suggestion skylar_legit!

 

A movie day sounds good to me, too. I like movies! I just have to be careful that I don't pick ones which could cause me to relapse. Maybe watching them with a friend would be best for me.

 

Great idea. Going to the cinema is fun, too. Nothing like the big screen.

 

I like yall's idea bout self rewarding for PMO quitting....I guess I'll try that money saving idea by backtomanhood.....

Am rewarding myself with Deadpool....if I make it till mid Feb

 

Pee Wee Herman would say otherwise...
