Hey my brothers,

I hope you are all fairing well and hope that I am still welcome around here..

It has been a long time.

I have fallen in darkness for a long time, life hasn't been so easy. Regardless, I've come back to my roots. The lord of the rings challenge was one that helped me built a solid foundation in the past. I hope to rekindle this foundation and move forward as I have in the past. @RiseToGreatness I'm very happy to see how successful you've been my brother, truly a beacon of hope for the rest of us.

As was once my custom,

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.


Stay strong!

Of course you are welcome bro. You are one of the faces of the challenge! Glad to see you are continuing the fight.
 
Day 5

Ahh this feeling!!!! Truly majestic. As a former daily pmo addict reaching to this day truly fills happiness in me. I know this amount of abstinence is not even anything but still I see hope that I can truly change. Still discipline and persistence is important, without which I wouldn't have reached till this day of the Journey.

I will continue my fight to check myself how strong i am against this pmo curse. I feel refreshed, energetic and most imp confident within me in such couple of days of abstinence. I know this journey isn't easy but I ain't stepping back now. Keep it strong brothers. We can do this!!!!
 
@Paul S. You are close to that 90. I think those psychological numbers add a lot of pressure and often trigger relapses... Keep at it! Remember what you've gone through to get here. Very proud of you bro.

As for me... Still up at 5am, looks like another sleepless night. Urges were strong enough I feared heading in the wrong direction, so just got up. I relapse a lot around this month point. I must persist and not let that happen! There is a lot of pain and what I perceive as missed opportunity in my past, I have been dwelling on this a lot lately and tonight has been bad. I wonder if my brain is trying to get me to relapse?

Good news: My crappy neighbour got evicted, so now hopefully I can reset my sleeping pattern soon. These guys with protective vests showed up and hauled all her stuff away... Very strange!
 
5 days - With rain and fog you enter the old village of Bree.

I worked out a lot, need some leg-recovery, had too little sleep. So now I'm laying in my bed for a good nap. I can use internet for my phone but it won't be enough to look at (much) porn. I've got no more than 100 MB so I feel completely safe. I even deactivated images, just so I don't consume so much data here.

My second layer of safety is my resolution to not do anything sexual or escalating, which I have at the moment.
I really need to work on this - the mind quickly looses this as soon as one engages in porn. I mean I have to work against these false and unhealthy affirmations and replace them with the good ones, rebuild my fortress.
However, that fortress never really hold for long, so I know I still have to go a long and stony path. And not cease.

I noticed that yesterday I risked relapse when I used internet at a place where I was alone. I was in the red zone there, even though I felt fine and nothing bad happened.
Where am I now? Green zone? Yellow? Theoretically I could still do something stupid with my leftover data and my hand ... but nevertheless I would say, I'm in the green. Which reminds me ... on Bree, the green and blue city :)

Now for some sleep.
 
Its been a while , I had dragged myself to my worst self in the past few months .Everything was going fine for a while I joined the gym ,my health and physique improved a lot .So for the time period I went to the gym everything started getting better I was much calmer but things didn't last for a long time . I don't know if I have ADHD or not as I have never consulted a doctor for the same , but regardless of whether I have had it or not I have had attention issues for a while and now I am having trouble at remembering many everyday activities that I end up in trouble sometimes. It has always been a difficult task for me to study when I am alone at home I get easily distracted. During these past few days I have binged on movies, animes ; relapsed many times when I had to study properly .Going to gym was that key activity that gave me a reason to get up in morning ,but 2 months into the gym I injured my shoulder and I haven't gone to gym for over two months nor have I diagnosed the injury which I must do immediately as the exams are over. So since now going to gym was out of question , I fell back into my old habits, I sat through the nights binging on some series or movies. Come Tuesday and I am having a difficult exam and I am yet to start studying .

Time's up I have to get better . It been a while since I am saying this but on the positive note I think have improved somewhat but guess I have not made remarkable changes .

I am back and my first mission is to get through the examination without relapsing in order to relieve stress. Damn inability to manage stress has always been one of the triggers for me. So I think I will start small and I just want to say I am happy to be back once again.


Day 0

Day 89. II.

Tempted to relapse. :( Let's just better go for a walk.

89 days hardmode.
Denim jacket reward for 90 days.

Documentary "So, where next?" 4/many

what helps me reduce temptation is reading all the success stories. Some people have gone a year without PMO. That’s pretty fucking awesome. And if they can do it, we can too. Use whatever juice you have in you to Find inspiration to keep going.
