The Lord of the Rings Challenge

i totally understand you bro. learn with that slip and carry on.

also be mentaly prepared for relapses. i relapsed many many times in the past, and i used those relapses to learn about myself and the addiction. now i´m in a better place of understanding and doing the reboot. but i´m not invulnerable, no one is. i would still recognize a slip or a relapse.

recognize deeply that an addiction is a power grip on both the body and mind. it´s not easy to let go of this.
so this is a process of debunking the addiction on the brain and install new better habits. it´s not a "all or nothing" shot. absolutes have no place in the reboot, absolutes are the dear friends of the addiction.

if you relapse, accept, get up, learn, refine your strategy, carry on.
if you relapse, accept, get up, learn, refine your strategy, carry on.
if you relapse, accept, get up, learn, refine your strategy, carry on.

Carry on my brother. I believe in you.

Here´s Soaring Eagle on sleep problems

"Below let’s talk about the sleeping issue: many brothers run into obstacles when it comes to sleep, mainly in the below categories:

1. Insomnia
2. Difficult falling asleep, difficulty in entering sleep
3. Excessive dreams
4. Early awakening, includes waking up in the middle of the night
5. Shallow sleep, poor quality sleep

Sleep is indeed a big issue, if your sleep quality is poor, then the recovery of the body will become relatively difficult. Yet there are many factors which cause sleeping difficulties. Normally among brothers, the main reason is the masturbation induced loss of coordination between heart and kidneys, besides that it is long gazing which injures the liver qi, heavy pressure is also a reason. People that are prone to staying up late and sitting for long periods will easily encounter sleeping difficulties. Staying up late is an important factor because it tends to be accompanied by long starring and long sitting, the body will suffer relatively heavy damage in this way. So in order to restore the quality of sleep, one must make an adjustment in the working and resting schedule. Try to go to bed before 11 pm, simply close the eyes and rest if one is unable to fall asleep. Take care to establish normal working and resting habits, staying up late does too much damage to the Spirit.

Some brothers are unable to sleep at night when being asked it turns out that they like to take naps at noon. When somebody takes noon naps they will have a hard time falling asleep at night, I have had this experience. Afterwards, I stopped taking naps at noon, if I’m not too fatigued then there is no need to take a nap, or else falling asleep in the evening will become difficult.

Do not worry too much if sleeping difficulty shows up once occasionally. I would advise adjusting your schedules, do not become too fatigued, learn to regulate the mood, don’t take on too much pressure, in this way, sleeping difficulties will self-correct.

If the obstacle of sleeping is stubborn, such as serious insomnia or continuous early awakenings and excessive dreaming, this kind of situations points to more serious injuries. The best way is to look for a traditional Chinese doctor for treatment in combination with traditional Chinese medicine. Afterwards, one should pay attention to the work and rest schedules, refrain from staying up late and sitting for long periods at a time, exercise actively, learn to cultivate the health, persist like this in half a year in order to make the adjustment back to normal. Back in the days I suffer quite seriously from excessive dreams and insomnia, dreams were on a daily basis, sometimes I would directly have insomnia, it was very frustrating. Afterwards, I adjusted my working and resting schedule and learned to cultivate the health, it took more than a year before I could recover. The reason to why it took over a year was because my damages were quite severe. This current year is marked by abstinence and health cultivation, I didn’t take any medicines and relied on myself. Of course, if the condition is serious, it is still best to seek out a comparably capable TCM doctor in combination with treatment with Chinese herbal medicine, the recovery may be speedier this way.
In order to allow for a better recovery, it is a must improve the quality of the sleep. Many people are quite capable of eating, sleeping, and exercise and so they recover quickly. Some people are unable to sleep or sleep poorly, to recover will be comparably more difficult for these people. Sleep is like charging a cell phone if the electricity cannot enter, how can recovery take place?"
