THE INTERSTELLAR CHALLENGE !

Do you use any software @hoping_cannon ? There's an App called remojo where you can click a panic button and it will block your phone or computer for a set amount of time. Enough time to cool down. It gives a free 3 day trial then its only like 14 bucks for 90 days! I'm going to buy the 90days now just to give myself a little more protection this time. I'm doing well but we all know how tricky this old habit can be to kill.

I didn't aware of remojo but as you mentioned it is worth installing in my mobile and laptop. I will avail the 3 days trial and see how it goes...
Thanks for sharing :)

Hey guys, I've left for a while. Life's been quite stressed lately, as public exams roll in, I can't help but to focus on my studies. Still, pornographic temptation is irresistible, I didn't manage to achieve streaks. Only 20 days left for my exam... But anyway, I come up with a mantra to abstain from porn: focus on hard work, once you devoted your precious time to be productive, no time is left to relapse. Although I failed today yet I'll still continue on this journey, since porn is the last thing I want to come up with while having exam, or it may even hinder my academic performance. I try to be motivated everyday, with tactics, with the use of chrome extensions to block inappropriate websites. I know everyone has their personal issues(I didn't read the thread in detail though), so may god bless you all and win this battle against the devil! Life is always brighter on the other side of tunnel. I may see you guys later, roughly a month later, until everything settles down...

Hey there! As you said when we indulge ourselves in the things we love to do then we won't think of porn and depress over a relapse that continues as a by-product.

btw All the best for your public exams. Do well :) See you on the other side coop!

Let's do it buddy. As you're right we are not here to blame other for the relapse. The guilt must be within and we are responsible for the things we do.
What's the news about the Atlanta murders? can you explain me more as I'm not aware of it.

Essentially the murderer blamed his actions on his sex and porn addictions and said that the women at the spas that he killed were tempting his urges. It is a BS excuse and while PMO and sex addiction are troubling, and may be due to triggers we had no choice it, it is ultimately our decision to act on them. I used to externalize my PMO addiction saying that I had a moment of weakness and I acted as if it was somehow inevitable that I would relapse. However, now I realize that every time I make the decision to type in the search terms, or to masturbate to weird fantasies, I am choosing to do that and no one and no thing made me choose to PMO. While I understand some struggle with their addiction and want something to blame (and I am not denying the role our conditioning and types of triggers), I think that we ultimately are setting ourselves up for failure when we do not take responsibility for our actions.

Also, Day 4.

So glad you are trying it out! I think it is super helpful coz most of the other apps you can just close but this if you know your getting triggered or close you can hit panic and it locks you out for however long you may need to get your thoughts back under control :) all the best brother really awesome to see the progress you are making. I'm lifting you up in prayer often too :)

These addictions ultimately mostly affects the opposite gender both in relation and society as a whole. I'm shocked when it leads to a murder at the end. We're the first generation who have the gateway to access internet at ease anywhere, anytime we require. So we have to be responsible. If we fail to use the resource for good then next gen may dive deep worse.

Congratulations on becoming Drone Catcher.

I just love the minimalistic UI in remojo which I prefer the most in any app. I'm waiting for the ios version of the app to get released, So that I can avail the trial for both my laptop and mobile.
Thanks for the support and prayers. It means a lot :)
Let's get this done buddy and find the co-ordinates.
 
Day 1.5 @hoping_cannon

I slipped up after 6.5 days 1.5 days ago. I had been feeling dejected and struggling with my place in the world, and porn unfortunately was "there for me" as a comforter (as well as an abuser). I am back as a farmer, and ready for a new start. Not sure why I am feeling the way I am with my feelings of nihilism and dejection, but I am feeling more hopeful today after I wrote a letter to my Grandpa who died 13 years ago this month.

When you get some fresh air, just feel, breathe and relax. Sometimes it makes things right and clears you mind to get some fresh start.
My condolence on the loss of your grandpa.

Stay strong!
 
Day 2 - Today is going better than yesterday and a lot better than the day before. I have been rather lazy today getting up at noon and then lounging around from 2-4pm while I was on call for tutoring (No clients needed my help so it was okay for me to lounge. I have 5 hours until bed, so the goal is to alternate between two different classes until I am going to bed.
