    Hey guys,
    one thing I have noticed is the negativity and self bashing that tends to come
    especially when we do something that isn't in line with what we aim for...
    it comes up...
    this makes the journey even harder...
    What works best for me, being 41 years old and having committed to ending porn use,
    no matter how many times I waver, no matter how many times I become unconscious and start operating on auto-pilot and forget what my true intentions are and how amazing I am... that's when it gets harder. That's when it becomes more painful than it needs to be.
    Each day is valuable. Each moment where I am fully conscious and aware of what I am doing and choosing, these moments are worth their weight in gold, they are rich because I am not judging myself, I am simply present and recognise this moment as the most important moment there is.
    Not when I finish my 90 days of porn free us. But this moment now, the one where I choose to go just this moment consciously and honourably to the best of my ability.
    Because sure I too have the intention of holding the 90 days porn free, which if I focus on the duration, it becomes a weight. But this moment, which in truth, that's all I need to focus on, that is totally doable.

    Strength and power is who you are, when we are in the right here and now.

    Day 5

    That's the good part. Now, enter the Surge.....

    Yesterday was a rough night, probably because of caffeine. Just before bed, I had some "thoughts", not really urges, but more like suggestions that came up during meditation. For some reason, I decided not to fight these "suggestions", I just returned my focus back to my breath. Then they left...at least for a little while. I did this over and over again until meditation was over.

    When I went to bed, I had "suggestions" again, only this time they were surge-enhanced. Normally, I would have "done the deed", but I chose not to. I think it was because of two reasons:
    1. I kept "catching" those "suggestions". Any time my mind "went there", I returned it back to my focus (trying to go to sleep). My goal wasn't to destroy these "suggestions". It was to redirect them to something that could serve me better in the moment.
    2. I started to imagine how i would feel after reaching 90 days..even 30 days of NoFap awesomeness.

    Now, although this might sound like an awesome internal victory, it looked a little weird on the outside. While I was in bed, I would move around a little, get on hard, then relax. That cycle repeated over until I woke up the next day. It wasn't the prettiest NoFap victory but I will take it.

    Sorry for the weird details, just wanted to show the NoFap battle from the inside and out.:)

    I'm a little tired today because of last night, but I have no intention of breaking the line and have already completed today's morning PT (150 pushups, 100 situps), so let's get today's awesome.

    Day 4 Completed.
    4% percent and charging.
    Yesterday I get mad with my gf. I got to my home earlier, nearly at 9pm. In bed I unconsciously found myself dreaming or having a weird fantasy, and my hand on the wrong place. I stoped when I get aware of that. This repeated several times, always I stopped. It was weird, and hard, but I feel like it was a victory.

    I actually experienced a similar thing myself! My hand didn't go in the wrong place, but my mind did...several times. Each time my mind stopped it. Now, if this battle going on was only in my head, that would be fine. In reality, it played out like this: moving around, pitched a tent, tent goes down. This happened for a little while then I eventually went to sleep.

    It was a weird victory, but I'll go with it.

    I can relate to some of this. Obviously, being female, I don't get erections! But sometimes my mind thinks of new sexual scenarios or I happen to read something like that & feel tempted to MO to that and sometimes I get itches - psychological
    nothing sinister! But of course if I scratch NEAR there, it feels tempting to GO there too! Also being bored, lonely, tired and weekends, school holidays had a week of that in Feb, stress. Those things can all be
    triggers esp a combo! But I watched some videos on other women Fapstronauts and they seemed to get more confidence from sticking to NoFap and this inspires me to
    hang in there.
    Day 5 :) :)

    Messed up on Day Five. I'll restart the challenge and keep moving. I'll have to learn to move on and focus on the new streak instead of the failure.
