I have been suffering from insomnia the couple 3 days. Cant seem to sleep for more than 3 hours and can't go back to sleep no matter what. It's in middle of the day now and I still want to try to sleep, so getting a shower and trying again. Hopefully I can get some sleep and give an update later.
Good luck with that @master3 I am familair with bad nights with no sleep. No coffee is the only thing that works for me. I wish you well my brother.
Thanks, managed to 2h extra sleep, needed it. Also started getting urges just before that and for the first time since we started the challenge really contemplated watching porn. I guess it shouldn't surprise me considering it was a tired brain.
Remember that the challenge is harder the first week of the year than it is the last week of the year. Congrats to everyone who has made it this far. Don't forget to update your progress.

I did before but my working times won't allow it at the moment. And as I said I can keep it under control so it's fine for the moment. I am still on this journey and I am going to make it. Even if I would relapse I am proud of my first 80 days. Also I tend to notice that women that I tell about this journey are surprised, they often react with "really.. no porn?" or even more "not even masturbation". Most seem positive about the porn but somewhat puzzled about the absence of masturbation. But when I explain that I am not a beta-man watching another man having sex but instead I want to be the one having the sex myself they understand.
Checking in, Still here. It's day 11 for me and I've been dealing with urges nonstop. It took a lot of willpower but I made it. I thought for sure I was going to have a wet dream but I didn't. I had a sexual dream but squeezed my pelvic floor in my sleep to stop possible ejaculation and woke up to get out of bed to stop the dream. Woke up and my sexual energy reset. Every time you sleep you wake up with no urges it's great!
Check in, safe: I recently learning drawing digital, everyday I set a goal and this help me with my free time. lets enjoy the weekend! Wow new feature update it is "Spoiler: Previous Participant" check it in page one (1) That is great, interesting and motivating!
Bombed out on M, for now, but still going strong on P! Actually feeling good about this because P is a lot more obtainable on the short term and it also helps stop those longer sessions.. like the real dopamine draining searching for the perfect girl sessions
After 18 days, I relapsed. It's so damn hard to get used to the absence of dopamine kicks. Good luck guys.
