@SSS Vision and @Don80 happy birthday

 

Happy birthdays both if it’s still your birthday!

Day 84 complete.

I was looking for some kind of sexual stimulation while I was scrolling facebook this morning. The least I can do is stop scrolling. I am doing good in general.

 

Day 3 complete! For real this time, yesterday I jumped the gun a bit.

@Kairose Good stuff, if my two cents are worth anything I think that's the right attitude to have.

@til_im_free Welcome back, and congrats! Any idea if there's a specific field of medicine you want to study?

I'm doing alright. The seminary where I study is attached to a small university, and occasionally undergrads will enroll in our classes. One of my classes has a female student in it; she sits behind me, so most of the time fortunately the situation isn't on my mind at all, but as we were leaving class this morning I did find my eyes momentarily straying to her body. Hmph. Getting rid of PMO is one thing, and rooting out all its malicious effects in my brain will be quite another.

St. Lucy, pray for us!

 

Day 0. Thanks guys for birthday wishes.

The counter goes to zero. This time not the past but the future beat me. The perspective of having a 2-day training at the weekend. Mandatory waste of time.

 

Day 12 - Uruk

 

Happy birthay to you, too @Don80!

And thank you to @Slider8, @ListenPaul, @MS PBH, and @CALM IN SUFFERING for the birthday wishes.

 

0 days.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Day 2 !

 

Day 379 no PMO. Overall I was a little frustrated yesterday. Then last night I woke up after only an hour of sleep and realized I had nocturnal emissions. No dream that I could recall but just wet boxers. Didn’t sleep great after that. I hope today will be a better day for me.

 

Day 33..

 

Check in day 162

 

Happy birthday Don! I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

 

Day 4 done!
Worked out and got up early. Keeping strong!

 

Dawn of the 2nd day.

 

Thank you brother! I wanted to mention that as well, its exactly like that. Supporting items along the quest. Let's keep the pace my friend!

 

Checking in Fellowship Friends!

Day 410 free of MO and day 19 free of porn.

Yesterday was a rather difficult day, given I had insomnia and combated a lot of temptation to alleviate the insomnia. There is a new phase for the company I work with and higher ups reached out to me for some opinions on what would be helpful for said phase, I made a good impression in the meeting, but I was a bit nervous.

I'm in a darker place at the moment, I really want my nerves to return to what they were in the past. Handling things in a calm fashion, not feeling overwhelm at minor stressors. It's all rather frustrating. And of course, with all the self-pity and anger, comes urges to claim to alleviate my ails. I'm trying my best to challenge these emotions and to focus on the progress I have made, but I will be honest, sometimes its just difficult to keep a positive mindset. Recovering from burnout and PMO addiction is just very taxing on the mind.

I will spend more time reading, reflecting and meditating today before work. I hope for this phase to pass me by soon.

Stay strong

@Kairose I wish you the best on your chosen path brother! Very admirable.

@SSS Vision Happy birthday! You are an inspiration with all your undertakings.

@Don80 Happy birthday! Keep trudging forward.

@til_im_free Welcome back brother! And congratulations on making it into medical school, your hard work is paying off!
