Checking in. Today was a good day, i was able to study for 6hrs and for that i'm grateful. I had some quick urges, they appear like a flash and go away quickly as well; i gotta be honest, i'm a little afraid of'em. That's why i'm keeping myself mindful as much as i can be. Always vigilant. @Redemptionisrequired congrats on your 1yr mark! Strenght & Honor!
Day 1 Ugh, very tired and drained, yet I'm in fairly good spirits. I've gotten some good things done today and am looking forward to a home workout and some cold shower water before bed.
Nice recommendation, I'll search for it. Also, there's a book that helped me in defining my reasons to quit: Captured by a better vision: living pornfree, from Tim Chester. It's really deep and goes down to very root of the sin of sexual immorality.
Welcome bro! Where I live, we have winters of less than 0°C and summers that reach 40°C, so I can answer this question with some property. When it's hot, cold showers lose all its power, but in the winters they are deep torture. I don't recommend to take a totally cold shower when the temperature is under 10°C. What I do is that I take a coldER shower, with the water just a little bit less cold by the warming. Of course, it has to be discomforting, otherwise it won't work. But taking it at extreme temperatures is not wise, even more considering a now prepared guy.
Day 28! Just checking in. Had a tough day, since I slept pretty badly last night. Studied the whole day even though, and ended up with a damn headache. I gotta get my sleep routine back on track!
Day 38 complete. No phishing. No desire to masturbate, only to have wild sex (like this ever happens ). My routine is disbalanced by my new job, I am not reading the bible I am barely praying, still having cold showers and evening reading. And time just flies by, this week feels like one long day, I barely had any free time. Relationship with my wife went to the colder side and I feel so much attraction towards her. This weekend I will adjust my routine, to have more time for my wife and myself, don’t know how yet. @Redemptionisrequired congrats! And great speech.
Checkin in Day 3! Now I put on some armour. Urges. They'll be back soon enough, hordes of them ... but I'll beat them.
Day 333 no PMO. 33 is my favorite number so I really like the look of 333 days. Good day yesterday. Had a productive day at work and also got some good time in with my daughters.
Day 2! Focusing problems yestarday and didn't sleep well, but today will be a better day for sure! Keeping strongh!
Congratulations and thank you brother! I couldn't agree more. I see this as a great (maybe the greatest) weakness of our brain, "the easy way"; and sadly the ones in power, the "kings" of this world, shamelessly use this on their advantage.
Hello Fellowship. well, i blew it. all those days of bad habits and stress come to an end as i slipped today to hardcore porn. little sleep yesterday and today i was so dizzy that i jumped right into pmo just one time though, so, so far, no big damage taken. i´m a bit dissapointed as this kind of slips happened to me before. but once again i couldn´t prevent it . so i recommited myself to always prioritize the reboot! no matter what my life circunstances are. gonna shut down the counter as it really hurts to see that zero, and i know that i´ve recovered well so far and doing well on my path. this is just a bump in the road. not sure what is my stance here on the challenge, but i hope time can tell. Meanwhile, have a good day. be well my friends.
