No Porn 2021 Challenge [CLOSED]

I'm still doing good, 31 days now. Last week has been very up and down though. I think I'm just noticing my emotions more because of nofap. Anyway I'm gonna keep going. Wish you all good luck!

 

All the best!

 

The journey continues. Today is specially hard, want to procrastinate the whole day and avoid work. Went to a site, before the site loaded, closed it. I’ve been here before, just gotta get up and go, get it done.

 

I have been noticing an increase of (other) issues in my life besides porn as of late, in regards to mental and emotional health. Been having some anxiety struggles, intrusive thoughts, a sense of loneliness, even some mild depression - among some other things. None of it is severe - but bad enough to disrupt my daily life and throw my emotions out of wack. I am not sure if it is due to my brain rebooting / side effects that are surfacing because I am abstaining from P. - or just simply other issues (some of them are issues I've always struggled with) that have always been there but are now more noticeable because I'm not struggling daily with P. anymore. Not entirely sure of the source of these issues but I've been trying to stay as positive and optimistic as I possibly can - to the best of my ability I'm not letting my thoughts rule me and not dwelling in self pity or any of that other B.S. - I think maybe too I still have a low self esteem / very low confidence level due to past guilt from P.
But I'm trying not to focus on it too much - I know that perception is everything and the more you look at the problem the bigger it becomes.

Anyone else struggling with similar issues?

 

Perhaps it’s a need to break from the routine and have fun? I just experienced that today. So I went and got me a meal, prepared some chicken for tomorrow’s meal, and was speeding (60 on a 25 mile per hour round, oooh look at me being a bad ass lol) blasting some rap and Reggeaton and that quenched my wanting for entertainment/some anarchy. Then had 1 rum and coke.

So my suggestion is to find your fun/break from routine.

 

Relapsed again with just M./O.
Was feeling horny / aroused and ended up doing M. (no P. or anything)
I have since been feeling tempted and been feeling the desires to act again - which is part of the reason I am also trying to abstain from M. - I feel like it opens up the doorway to temptation and starts putting thoughts of P. in my head which I obviously do NOT want in there. Besides my recent relapse, I have been doing better. The last couple of days I have felt happier and more at peace - I've been maintaining thoughts of positivity and gratefulness and it's crazy how just forcing yourself to be optimistic and can really change your perspective and affect your mood in a good way.
So other than this slight misstep I took, I've been doing good, and I'm fighting my hardest to not let this minor relapse potentially take me into a bigger one.

 

Please sigh

I wanna go technology detox and i will not be able to update everyday but i will do my best. I mean I will find a way to communicate. I realized that my smartphone is causing me all these problems. I spent too much time on it. I think staying away from smartphone is the solution.
