Dawn of the 102nd day. Thanks for reminding me of the Dopamine Detox. I just joined it last night. You did well to get through the day. Onward to day 2! When we fall we may feel like we are back at the bottom but we are not. Our counter may read "0" but our past successes have built a foundation to stand upon. The old "0" is buried below this solid ground. Onward to day 1!
3 days done brothers! Some lethargy and brain fog after lunch because i overate... wrong move. maybe some withdrawal is present sure, but mostly is digestion. so now i have to be patient and expect the heaviness and grumpiness to leave. meanwhile i´m trying to be compassionate around people, but quite frankly i just want to lay on my bed and be alone. but such is life, did some important stuff in the morning though. all is ok 3 days have pasted, i´m still in the binging danger period, but so far i´m holding on. some temptations and urges here and there, but all my physical and social blockers are working nicely, so i can´t act out. i will continue like this until i feel solid again, no matter how much time it takes. Nothing more to add my friends. Have a good day
Day 24! Middle urges yestarday, I had some brain fog, this is maybe I have the Flu or covid. Manage the urges focusing in my work and some youtube videos about nofap. I leave you a masterpiece here: Today I worked out and took a cold shower. Focusing in my life goals too, this help to mantain me motivated. Keep strong my brothers!
Day 4, and I am feeling the urges every single day. The first few weeks almost feel like they don't matter, which is partly what makes them so hard to get through for me.
Checking, spent most of the day learning and preparing for the interview. Also went for a walk with my wife in the evening I'm really tired. I'm going to sleep
Day 38 I've never resisted this far, considering the tough days that I'm going through. Back pain is getting worse and won't leave me for nothing. This makes me bitter, which leads me to resentful relapses. I don't want to let it happen. Is there someone who also struggle with relapsing because of anger/self pity, that could give me some advice?
Hobbit! Feels good to finally start the journey. Im looking forward to experiencing the LOTR story as myself, with a goal i much care for. Day was well, but i realised something at work. In my efforts to stop looking at women with sexual intend, i was not just lokking away with my eyes, but i was walking away so they just weren’t in my vision. I realised that is not sustainable, and not the right way to do it. The goal is to live and look without any restrains on yourself and to just have rewired the mind to not be a hyper sexual mess anymore. So i should just look away with eyes or just think of something else, istead of focusing so much on it and in that way making it worse. I hope it made sense, as i think the same principal apllies to a lot of things.
Checkin Out (better late than never) Day 2 is over - Im sry I wasnt able to check out in time. had a date and it was going very well (we talked longer then we thought we would) ... Then I lost my key and whe need to search all around.. Glad to say I have it back now. It was a quite full and quite crazy but beautiful day inna way. Did my routines early and now I go to bed (way too late) but it was worth it and its okay.... Wont do journaling today but did it yesterday and will do it tomorrow again. Greets out to you brothers and sisters have a good sleep! See ya
Day 180 Had a fantastic day at work; relatively busy but I’ve seen an increase in confidence and feeling a lot closer to my colleagues, I’ve found a lot of comfort in simply standing strong and being myself. No urges today, and feeling in control.
Day 2 complete! All good over here for me. I successfully resisted the urges to have a soda with lunch or grab a second plate of food--the first plate was large enough, it's not like I'm starving myself. The second helpings would have been nothing more than unnecessarily gratifying the desire to eat more. St. Benedict of Nursia, pray for us!
Day 21 complete I feel like I was able to reduce the amount of time spent cheking women out by 50%, but it was damn hard. The best solution was to physicaly turn my head down or to another direction. I feel like it’s similar to not watching P, it get easier.
