  1. Day 2 already? I'll try to work to the end of the night. I need to get some headspace to really start studying hard since that's my work right now. Work definition btw is the act of getting towards some long-term goal.

    @Ready to Stop Good job, consistency is important. I remember when I got really into calisthenics/walking and listening to audiobooks I'd do it every day without fail. That also I believe coincided with my best nofap streak. I remember doing pullups in the park during a blizzard lol... Kinda nostalgic for that period.

    @PeaceOnEarth108 You can do it! Keep fighting brother.

    @breaking-myths I was once pretty addicted to watching series and movies excessively as a way to avoid life. Quitting weed and drinking helped a lot with that. Doubt that's a problem in your case though.

    @Redemptionisrequired Thanks for the encouragement. I'm at it again! I have a lot of hope for this upcoming period.

    @sonic123rainbow Thanks for the reminder of the proper definition for work. We are all working hard here! No pmo is a job in itself.

    Day 3, night check in
    I had a pretty tough swimming training today, and after that a sauna session followed by cold shower. This three things help me a lot to get my head back on its place, and they also make me stop craving for cheap pleasure.

    Day 1

    Didn't eat that well today and feel kinda sick. I was pretty zoned out most of the day... Feel pretty detached. Tried dyeing my hair again. Think it worked a bit better this time.

    Better days are ahead.

    0 days :emoji_star2: You decide to destroy the porn ring! You´re a Hobbit now. You must take the ring to the place where he was made, Mount Doom. You left Hobbiton heading for Bree.

    I binged. Sorry guys, I know something has to change.
    @Redemptionisrequired @Talz thanks for the encouragement
    @Paul S. I feel you. I remember those feelings after therapy sessions when really all was open and I had a deep view in my mind. I wish I could reproduce that without a therapist. Gotta keep meditating and keep trying to overcome my addictions
    @Oreki Yagami welcome brother :)

    Nope that's not a problem :emoji_sweat_smile:.
    I think the reason why I am addicted to series and anime because it gives me a sense of alternate reality without much hardships. I kind of try to be a perfectionist subconsciously and this makes me a anxious person all the time. And binge watching series and anime gives me a sense of relief for some time. Maybe one of the reasons I got addicted to pmo was due to this temporary fleeting sense of relief it gives ,and we all know what pmo can do to you in the long run . I think similarly getting addicted to series and anime could be as worse.

    I know I will get over with this addiction but it is taking me more time than I expected.

    Also after getting into college I have always wanted to stand out at least in something by the end of next 3 years , but it is not easy for someone who has not developed his talent in the past 4 or 5 years . So I think until I am able to have better control over myself I will focus on very small wins , build confidence and build myself progressively even if it takes me another 5 years. But I am not willing to give into PMO again .

    I failed,
    The reason being I resented what I went through and then all those memories of abuse from my ex surfaced and even though I was trying to deal with them without escaping today I resisted but unfortunately not for long
    .
    I feel good to have completed 4 clean days .
    But i feel so lost as this roller coaster of healing from wounds has been messing with my reboot journey.

    Things got bad when few of my friends came to my place & discussed how amazing their bfs are.. I wish them well no jealousy whatsoever but couldn't help but lament what I have been through.
    Then reset happened,
    And i am feeling very bad about it

    Day 10 no PMO. I overate yesterday. It was a lot like a p binge. “Well I already ate this so I might as well eat that”. Such dumb logic. I did get my steps in so that’s good I guess.

    Good to here that somebody can relate. Don't worry about the relapse. Try something differently this time!
