Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Dec 16, 2015.

  1. The rules are simple:
    • No porn
    • No masturbation
    • No orgasm
    • No sex
    • No fantasizing
    • No checking out
    You can add whatever you want, I'm gonna concentrate on my hobbies.

    Concentrate on your hobbies? Do you mean that you're now getting other hobbies?
     
  4. No I'm gonna start programming again e.g.
     
  5. I'm up for it! Are you gonna have some kinda accountability/support thing on here. Or a Kik group maybe?

    Also yeah, me too.

  6. I would too, but I want to make not using porn till first of January 2016 so that I only have to deal with the fapping-urges and not also the porn-urges.

    I want to make a tip and tricks list here, not something like "cold showers" - "gym" - "meditation", no, I'm gonna search some really powerful and clever ideas.

  11. So I heard somewhere that the best way to get a date is to be someone worth dating. That's kinda why I'm doing this challenge, not for a date, but to be someone worth being. With that, and also to do something with all the free time doing this will give me I've come up with some goals for myself during this and would appreciate any input you guys could give me (I'm really new here)
    1. Some form of physical activity 5 days a week (even if its just doing some pussh ups and sit ups before a shower)
    2. Daily meditation
    3. Changing one unhealthy food choice a day
    4. Journal twice weekly
    Please feel free to point out or comment about it

    I would say yes to monk mode, but it's nigh impossible to keep myself accountable.

    I need a radical revamping of my habit patterns.

    I am keeping an eye on this thread. I made it through December in my own version of monk mode and I will start off 2016 in such a state. It looks like I'll have an opportunity to program more than usual in my career and I noticed there are several others taking up a similar mantle. I suspect many of the challenges I face in 2016 will not be PMO or even sex related (sadly). So I am not likely to stay in a nofap specific monk mode the whole time.

    I disconnected my computer for the past two days and I was fine. The computer is my trigger. Should be fairly simple as long as I discipline it as I would a disobedient pet that shits and pisses all over my floors.

    P.S. threads are only useful when people post in them.

    By the way, there is no such thing as "Monk Mode". :rolleyes: Check out The Glossary ^ which defines the rebooting options. o_O

    There are enough abbreviations, special words and jargon being used without guys taking upon themselves to invent more!

    There's also no such thing as nofap, but someone made it up.

    I figured monk mode was acting like a monk: no masturbation, not even sexual thoughts if one can help it.
