The 2019 X90 Hard Mode High Accountability Elimination Challenge

Hey fleurette,
Thanks for checking in and great job on catching yourself. I agree there are social pressures for men but the one thing we're not taught is that we can choose what we want to believe in even if that belief feels like it is coming from within. Much like how I say You Can Choose How You Feel, we can choose what we believe it, we just have to catch ourselves doing it and decide not to believe in it, we may use reasoning or thought scrambling to break the patterns of thought that we're trying to dispel but it is all possible.

I like the idea of your daily journal, I think it'll be a benefit. I tend to use this or my daily update in my C90 group as my journal which I'm finding super beneficial.

Have a great day (or night)!!!

 

Thanks dude, I appreciate the support!

 

That damn brain!!! Funny though, we don't often recognize that it's just trying to protect us. It's doing what we told it to do when we don't feel good. More on that later.

Have a great day!

 

Hey dude, get out of that situation. A recovering drug addict doesn't hang out with his drug using friends while they're trying to recover.

I get where you are, I was there. I work with mostly woman and my brain would go crazy. It's lessened alot now and I don't think about them as much. You'll get there if you stay the course.

Plus you definately don't want to go there with someone else's wife. That would destroy like 3 relationships and you don't want that guilt and pain that you'd be inflicting not only on yourself but 2 other people that you guiniely care about as friends.

Be the better friend and recognize what you're going thru, do some preventative maintenance and GTFO of there.

Your future self will thank you a thousand times for now going down that road.

 

Probably guys will give more advice but for now I'd suggest that you go training now and take a cold shower. Then meditate. Then repeat if needed.
I just dumped a text-only guy whom I kinda liked and we've been texting on and off for several years (yes several years - my fault and my insecurities) and my demons started to rise. I then went for a brisk walk, now feeling better. Loneliness usually triggers me for some release but I tamed it for now. Meditation and journalling help a lot for me.

 

Awesome reply!!!

I really love the support this group shows

 

Great job loving yourself there, I imagine dating these days with text only guys can be tough. You're doing the right thing as much as it sucks.

 

Checking in, Day 36, no PMO. Now will be facing the toughest two weeks of my cycle with estrogen and testosterone gradually increasing and then peaking - everywhere I now see masculine men in beards ohhh
You guys are doing great, so proud of you - you are Kings in the making, just think where you were before NoFap and where you are now!
