    Day 17 no PMO. Football all day today!
     
  4. Day 1

    Sorry brothers, the thoughts got to me and I lost my streak; the bright side is that I didn't do it to porn and I didn't end up binging like last time, though I am feeling mild chasers, but compared to what I fighting a few days ago, they're nothing I can't handle. Anyways I'm not beating myself up over it, I made it three and a half weeks without popping one, when around this time last year I couldn't even do three days, so I'm calling this progress. Plus now I know where I stand, just got to work with it.

    Day 23.

    I clearly don't want to write. I have this urge to take a break from this. I don't know. Maybe it's just an addiction trying to isolate me. Feeling of pointlessness persists. But today I'll just stick to philosophy of pushing myself.

    I don't know what to say. I am feeling low, irritated and avoidant all day. I wonder if it's because of nofap or something else. Got entangled into conference stuff, but just that...

    For years I pushed emotions away with pmo. In my teen and later years I masturbated almost every day. Sad -> pmo, angry -> pmo, anxious -> pmo, avoidant -> pmo, depressed -> pmo, too happy, manic -> pmo,... I think back then I could pass baseline test easily because of so much numbing myself. But now I am not even close to baseline. Of course, I don't know how to deal with emotions in healthy way. But, live and learn.



    Disclaimer. If I post a scene for illustration, that doesn't mean I recommend watching the moviefilm or watch it myself.

    :emoji_palm_tree:

    Hard mode + no shutting blockers down - day 23.
    No coffee - day 23.

    Being home alone and getting drunk - not a good combination. Believe me, I am a son of alcoholic. Don't let life break you! You are stronger than you think!

    @e r i k _ s a t i e exactly, thanks :)

    Instead of PMO I finally started watching The Rings of Power. What an awesome series! I was fearing that they would sexualize Galadriel but I'm glad they didn't :) Still no porn in this world :)

    Today is another challenge for a few hours. While I believe I can make it I must not undsrestimate my addiction.

    Take care brothers :emoji_heart:

    Day 5
    My dad completed a cyclothon of 100kms today. I should live up to my family. I should break my dad's record in cycling and I should also be the first one in my family to complete a half marathon. I will try to do these goals once I am done with my exams. My dad was also a very bright student and went to the one of the best college in my state. I should at least live up to the family ideal or even increase it and make my ancestors proud.
    I will try my best.

    Day 18 no PMO. Driving home today. It’s a long drive so I’m not looking forward to it but at least I’ll be back in my own bed tonight.
     
  16. Day 1 again. Yesterday I got stuff done. Today I will try to repeat that day.

    Relapsed yesterday but I really want to share you something, please read.

    Yestarday I relapsed, but the bad thing is this. I was not jus masturbating with porn, I was searching scort services, my idea at the begining was not to ask for the service, but more horney I were, more I wanted to. On the time while I was masturbatig, I was asking for services trougth whatsapp (I asked a lot of girls). But then I cum and I left a lot of "quotations" there. After an hour I received a message from (in theory) the procurer of all some of the ladies that I ask information, asking me for money because I just was playing arround and not asking anything. This really freak me out because he ask me for money but if I don't pay will be consequences.

    After some time I talked to them, and they aske me for the money again, after some talk I just bloqued them and didn't anwer anymore. After this I have 2 main thougts:
    1. It's just people trying to get money (something really common in my country)
    2. They are really bad people, the thougt that really concerns me.
    I didn't give any information that relates with me but I still scary, I didn't sleep well thinking on that.

    So the reason that I'm telling this is to make make yourself this question:, Will I wait to something really bad happen to leave PMO or I will do it NOW.

    I hope that this problem will solve and is just the life giving me a lesson. I really hope that.

    home alone for the next 2.5h. Really tempted; need to realize that porn is actually not that great.
