Day 1

Had a fall the night before, but not a big deal. Right now I'm trying to keep my fapping to the weekends to get my body and mind more used to going on 5 day streaks.

Though admittingly, now that we have entered 'No-nut November' I am going to see how long I can last before I lose it again.

I've discovered a new motivation to quit fapping; I've found out that if you fap too much, you raise your risk of having leg cramps, and with me already being susceptible to them as is with me being on my feet 5 days a week, this is the LAST thing I need, especially when I'm trying to sleep.
 
Checking in Fellowship Friends!

112 Days Free of PMO.

Success in the exposure yesterday, I'm grateful. I went for a blood test yesterday, checking my T levels out, amongst other things. The nurse was a bit flirty and very chatty. If it is in your means, I definitely advise you all to try to do a yearly blood test, for T levels. Total, free and bioavailable.

Apart from that, good rest last night, my only regret was to partake in an asinine debate, on in which no mind will be changed. Plan today is to remain productive.

To the brothers who have relapsed, I implore you, please put in as much effort as you can in anaylizing the situation that lead you to relapse. Keep a notebook specifically for nofap, take notes on success stories, try different tips and tricks. Do not give up and keep putting effort, you will break free!

Stay strong!

Brother, I think Counting days is a good idea. Because when you are counting days, you know how many days we have gone through hard days . Before I joined the Nofap forum , I didn't count days . So I didn't know value of the time. Now I calculate every working hours to estimate how I work in that hour. This is not related only into NoFap. You can get idea from prof. Cal Newport's Deep work book.
than too, I get more safer when I don't know days as I don't trigger my own self intentionally

Yeah but I have got a point to add to that initially its a good thing but once you are above your personal best or get past a milestone like 30 days you will have a feeling that you have done something really great and personally this has finally led me into relapses.

Day 10 checking in.

Idk why but today my mood was so low. I didn't feel motivated to do anything like studying and doing my assignments when I know damn well I should. But I forced myself to do it anyway, even if I only did little study and work. At least I did some things today. Tried playing some online video games to clear this numb feeling away and it helped a little. I was also so close to just let the PMO forces take me but I remind myself, "are you just gonna give up your streak after making it this far? All that effort only to just burn it away?"

Today was just one of those bad days and so here's hoping for a better day tomorrow.

So a different strategy that I am trying out is doing a different activity and focusing on how much consistent I have become in following it. These days the single activity I am making sure I get good at is waking up regularly at 4;30 . It took almost two weeks to even get up at 4:30 and now I have to make sure I use this time in a productive manner.
Note: Waking up early was always something very difficult for me to do ,it might not be same with everyone.

Once I get better at it I would like to inculcate cold showers and exercises but for the time being I feel just focusing on one habit will set the course for me to become more disciplined and focused.
 
day 20 sorry for not being active I'm just trying to tackle other problems of my life

Made an appointment with a psychologist. Not for another 3 and a half weeks since I head back up to work next monday. I guess I never talked about that. Got that job that I wanted. 2 years worth of work. 2 weeks on 1 week off.

Anyways. I guess the lady specializes in porn addiction. She can probably help me greatly. I gotta get over this. I think I will. I am changing at a rapid rate. After my discovery yesterday I feel quite different. Don't know how to explain it. I guess I don't get as stessed at temptations and there seams to be a new voice in my head. Not audible. A voice that encourages me to do the right thing. Maybe the angel on my left shoulder is back. lol Some healing took place anyways. All is good.
