Day 39.

Mhm... I am tempted. Few minutes ago almost shut down blockers. That was close. And again? Whose fault would it have been? Mine. It's still my decision. It's the same today - no one is forcing me to do this. I can choose.

Lost hour of sleep last night due to temptations. And one hour due to summer clock spin-forward. Yeah... Not much rested. Maybe this will finally wake me up fully.

Spoiler: Journey stuff

Hard mode + no shutting blockers down - day 39.
No caffeine (no coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.).
Calisthenics workout every Saturday. I can do one additional workout on any chosen day. 15 done.

 

Day 39. II.

Still bad. Automatic thought is "I HAVE TO watch p, I HAVE TO watch p, I HAVE TO watch p,...". Do I reall have to watch it? I'll better go to shop now to buy some human foods.

Day 39. III.

Came back from the shop. Didn't help much. I want to turn on porn so much that I feel my body is trembling and I feel that I am salavating more than usual. I'll try to eat now, but I clearly want p much more than foods. Later I'll try to do something. If it's still bad, maybe I'll go for another walk. I don't know what to do. It's really bad... My brain is trying to convince me that this abstinence is stupid and unimportant.

Day 333 - beautiful number
Day 9 - without wet dreams
I did some pullups in the evening. My back and biceps are pumped now.
@Blackshut Brother, what did happen last few days? The Money Problem, Did you get that money from scammers?

 

Hi Fellowship! Checking in. All is well.
@Blackshut hey, glad you are starting again. I already have an accountability partner, and we are making progress, but I am sure that there are some people in the Fellowship who would be an accountability partner for you. Feel free to hit me up with any questions though, I am happy to share what I have learned. Lot's of great mentors on this thread.
Anybody need an AP? @Blackshut is looking to team up.
In case anyone is struggling, here are the resources I have found most helpful:
@RiseToGreatness has been a great help and leader when he started this challenge. Definitely read his tips and posts. https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/my-story-and-tips.268831/
6 years clean: Rebooting is the best remedy thread. This is a great resource, and I got my longest streaks to date using this as a guide.
And some youtubers have been helpful too.

Day 39. IV.

Tempted again. Maybe I am just boring. I'll try to force myself to do something tangible. I want to get some tasks off my head. It will be fun.
Let's go!

Day 39. V.

Trying to do something is not helping much. My mind is very distracted and I have temptations to start fantasize. Well, again, it would be my choice. I'll try to continue working, maybe I'll get into the flow state.

Day 39. VI.

I would like to pmo. My hrum and sack are a heavy. I just have to survive today. Tomorrow I am meeting with a psychologist and after with a friend. I won't have much time to act wrong.

Day 39. VII.

Almost shut down blockers. What's wrong with me? Don't I have any honour? How can I even think about it as an option?

Day 5 completed

 

Day 39. VIII.

Calisthenics done. All 4 cycles. Both sessions this week complete. I like. I feel that I am slowly getting stronger. That's nice. Of course, I am firstly doing this for health and strength, but I also care how I look. I don't think I'll be big doing calithenics, but I would like to get a bit more ripped until the summer.

Checking in Fellowship Friend's!

9 day Free of PMO.

Stay Strong!

@PeaceOnEarth108 Rise again brother, assess and continue. You've proven it time and time again, get up and make this next streak a strong one.

 

Day 7

Currently in the middle of finishing up a week's worth of assignments; writing essays always ends up in feeling distracted at one point or another (which is the reason I'm writing this update right now), and I usually have a strong impulse to relapse.

I've been able to talk through my addiction with my girlfriend and she's been incredibly understanding. She has offered to talk and pray with me when I'm on the edge, and always wants me to be honest with her if I relapse - this has been a huge encouragement!

 

Day 42.
@Paul S. Go out for a movie brother. Read some success /relapse stories here in the forums. You don't need porn and it certainly won't make you feel better.

 

Day 3

 

Check in day 37
