The Jedi Temple (open)

Day 18 checking in.

 

Day 2 check in. To help me in this fight I will employ another psychological tactic which is giving myself a reward after attaining each rank of Jedi. I will coincide this with no more buying alcohol, and the money that I would have used on alcohol I will instead buy something else that I enjoy for my reward, something that is not an unhealthy habit. I really like music played from vinyl so I will get the Beethoven symphonies collection after I reach Jedi Knight rank. And after Padawan I'll going down to the used record store to get a couple of records for a few bucks.

 

Day 19 checking in.

 

Day 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51. Checking in.

 

Day 3 check in and going strong.

 

On Saturday when I become Padawan I will go down to the used record store to get some cheap records as a reward. I will hold myself to this promise. I swear I will focus and concentrate on making it to Saturday.

 

Day 20 checking in.

 

Day 4 check in. The hardest thing about nofap is learning how to deal with stress.

 

Day 52 and 53. Checking in.

 

It really is, so much of our life is just about habit and routine. A + B = C. A is me, B is stress and then C of course is porn use. The more we break off that B variable the easier it gets to avoid C or porn. We learn from every setback and make adjustments. We keep moving forward for as along as it takes.

 

Day 21 checking in.

 

Day 5 check in. Understanding what is and is not in my control is important. Needless stress comes from trying to control something I actually can't control. I don't have any responsibility or guilt in how other people behave or think.

 

Day 22 checking in.

 

Day 6 check in. I might be doing better this time around from focusing on rewarding myself for completing nofap goals. I would want to say that having other healthy activities to do is helping, although I've done that before and I would relapse frequently, so I don't know if I can say that that essentially helps or not. I think for me it's been more about removing my bad habits of thinking that caused me unneeded stress which was a trigger for pmo urges.

 

Yes as painful as every setback is there is something to be learned from them. There's an adjustment or change I can make every time if I just sit down and think about why I relapsed. And then take the steps to remove those conditions that made me relapse.

 

I gave it in guys.

This time I will comeback stronger.

 

I didn't realize until now that I joined nofap.com just before this group started off. I will take that as a sign that I am meant to be here in this groups to learn what I need to learn. I have been here for nearly three years now. That is quite long enough for me. I mean quite long enough struggling and failing to stop my pmo addiction. I am stopping it now. Here is to ranking up. When I wake up in the morning I will be a Jedi Padawan.
