Live TODAY on TODAY'S Terms, A Streak Suggestion.

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by LOSEmyselftoSAVEmyself, Mar 22, 2021.

  1. You guys see me post here a lot, but I feel like I have some ideas.

    Hopefully these suggestions help. That's my only goal.

    One thing I want to suggest is a way to keep a streak or reboot going.

    They say in AA, over and over, ad nauseam:

    One day at a time

    The thing about it is that if I take my focus off of recovering from PMO,
    during a day, then I blow a streak. I've messed up like that a lot.
    But the one way that I keep going is to say that I'm only going to avoid PMO
    for the REST of TODAY.
    Then I say, "If I relapse tomorrow, that is tomorrow's problem.
    That problem cannot be solved right now.
    But the thing I can do with 100% accuracy is
    turn off p-subs, p, stop thinking about you know what,
    and avoid M & O for the rest of TODAY."

    I think a lot of guys tend to get a bad cycle going.

    My opinion is that it happens like this:

    1. Bad day happens.
    2. Use of PMO is prolific for days or longer.
    3. Feelings of overwhelming guilt.
    4. Creation of NEW RESOLUTION
    5. RESOLUTION must be huge;

    I will be abstinate for a reboot, a half-year,
    a year, or permanently celibate!

    6. Beginning of a streak.
    7. Bad day again.
    8. Relapse on day 4.
    9. Go back to #1 and repeat.

    The only thing that destroys the whole plan is #5.
    It's because this guy builds an unrealistic expectation,
    and promises himself everything in his whole life
    will turn around because of doing a massive mega-streak.

    Don't get me wrong: the massive mega triple exponential reboot
    solves a ton of life problems,
    even it eliminates loads of small problems,
    and reverses a lot of LIFETIME handicaps!

    But it is nearly impossible for any man who is in the crapper
    to suddenly be made of iron
    , to hold his own weight
    in this kind of deal.

    What does he get right now? Torture.
    What does he want right now? Pleasure, success, money, women, etc.

    See the inequity?

    The solution is to say that TODAY I've decided not to use PMO.

    Admit that it will be nearly impossible, just today,
    but you (I) can do this thing.

    If you keep thinking that you will float through the OLYMPIC SIZE REBOOT
    but can't, that is the reason.
    You aren't ready for that.

    But you are ready to win TODAY like a TOTAL gold medal hero!

    You know that about yourself, because probably most dudes on here
    did it yesterday.

    The reason is because whatever madness they had to survive yesterday,
    they didn't give up, since that madness would not carry over
    to TODAY.


    Think hard about it, in a sober light. Remember a total day
    where the best thing was bird dropping on your head?
    But everything else were macro-painful-headache failures,
    by the double bushel?

    Then, think about the day after. Can you remember it?
    Probably not every time.

    Either way, everything was a little easier the next day.
    Hey man, a "little easier" means that now you got a better chance at
    a longer streak.
    You just did it on a harder day, Sherlock!
    You got to pick up a 24 hour on an easy day!

    It's like you just worked your tail off to earn $1,000.
    Then you ended up getting a bonus for another $1,000
    with no additional effort.
    Would you refuse it?
    (rhetorical, baby, rhetorical)

    It should be liberating, that each day is a whole separate entity.
    Seems counter-intuitive, as I was here the day before,
    and at that time, I was basicially the same.

    But was I. Maybe? But was my life?
    No.
    Even a mere trip to the store or gas station is not EXACTLY
    the same twice.

    That is why we fight TODAY on TODAY's TERMS.

    And you will emerge with the trophy.

    Because if I did it, and I make the hunchback of Notre Dame
    look like James Bond,
    it's a breeze for you.

    PREVAIL!
