    I slipped up today too. Just PMOd stupid but just so easy to do. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I got to 7 days then oh so easy to slide back. Did 7 days and this is the first time every but I was going strong.

    Restart begins now.

    Day 2

    Feeling good. Had some urges yesterday but when I felt them I made myself sit and not move, then focused on relaxing my body and mind as much as possible, not moving until the urge passed.

    It seemed to work alright. The big test is going to be when the bigger urges hit further down the line.

    Onwards and upwards.

    For the first time since starting I didn't get on the website. I passed my first week, and am going to extend it an additional week, since its better than resetting immediately, plus I genuinely didn't have time to and I want to do it in one week intervals.....I never said I was a good person mind you. Its not horrible, but it went from few periods of intense desire to fap to almost no periods of desire to fap, but with the problem of having a constant background desire reminding you its been a while. Think of it as changing from quick and short but intense outbursts to a slow, steady burn. Frankly, the slow burn drives me crazier. But yes, here I am, and I'm going to go another week. I haven't gone a whole week without being on vacation or something in a very long time, and this isn't bad for the first try. Refresh my memory on the rules?

    Hey, I'm still here, but things are starting to get real. Now that I think about it, I've really gotten this far being super busy, not through massive will power - though I have outwilled many a bad temptation. Slow burning misery is what it is now. I think the real lesson to learn here is that humans are supposed to get married early, stay married, and have frequent sex so that they don't have to do this. Crazy modern world we live in
     
  8. Should the next step be 14? :D
     
  9. Also I haven't been posting much as I have had company stay tge night and have had other matters to attent to. I have completed my tenth day! 14 isn't out of reach now. ~

    Also mathematically speaking I have skipped 15 M sessions. :3

    Average M/Day x Current Streak
    1.5 x 10
    = 15

    It is just interesting to know.

    You're going to need to make sure its accounted for in your signature, although MO is far less terrible than PMO. Bear in mind that you will need to put large periods of time between MO although honestly in the long run humans need some sort of release. If you're able to MO without P or P subs then you're actually in relatively good shape. Still, avoid MO for the time being if you're trying to reboot your brain

    You're doing really well fantastic for you. I'm nearly at day 3 of my restart having fucked up on day 7 the first time.
    I hope i can hold it together now and get up to 10.
     
  14. Please Read.

    A person above has asked us what step we are up to.

    If I remember right it was written somewhere that we would take the steps at the same time, if I am wrong ignore this. If I am right read below.

    I've noticed that joining this challenge after it has started isn't really possible, not in the sense of everyone taking the same step at the same time.

    When you start everyone else will have done a lot of previous steps and be ahead. The new person will have to on their first step do 20 days for instance to do the current step at the same time.

    I don't think it was ever mentioned that you could do it at your own pace specifically. The Step by Step challenge should have a list of steps for people to take at their own pace.

    I suggest until an official list of steps are created we use the following at your own pace:
    1
    3
    7
    14
    30
    60
    90
    135
    180
    225
    270
    305
    365

    Remember that you are allowed to M once after each step at your own decision. Whether doing this is a good idea is up to you.

  15. You should be happy you got to a week, the first week can be very hard as your brain heavily craves what you have been giving it for so long.

    Good job and keep up the good work! :D
     
  16. Day 11 is pretty much complete, I won't be able to ruin my strak tonight as I have night shift. Not going to be graphical but my part is looking much better. It has definitely been overused throughout the years.

    I'm hoping it cam return to a non 'worn' state.

    Day 6 completed. Don't know in which step i am, but i'm glad anyway. I guess one brilliant way to avoid porn is to remember that it changes the very structure of our brain, it shrinks our intelligence, makes us dumber.

    After all this, I finally reset just now. I had gone 9 days and 18 hours, which isn't half bad, was past the original goal but shy of the new one. So for the next round, I will be going 10 days without PMO. Honestly, I had drank some last night and that had led to attempted PMO which got me to do the real thing today when I got bored. Replicating this week's results would be a good second step I think, I certainly had a good first time.
