Day 22, Boy oh boy oh boy! Finals Grind!!!! Coffee fueled writing marathon (coffee: for running there is water, for writing there is coffee). Been doing well since my slip and intending to keep it that way, staying strong and planning to make it through this week and into the break without another slip! Thank you everyone!
Daily check-in today I am ranking up but still a long way to go. I think that for everyone the first week on Nofap is really important.
One more day mighty Alliance Let´s welcome the new members of the Fellowship: @ZigZebedy @I will break free The following brothers have upgraded and reach places in Middle Earth. Congratulations!!! @BetterTomorrowz - Uruk-Hai @crazyhorse11 - Bree / Eriador @Ciceron - Pass of Caradhras / Misty Mountains @MyGodandMyAll27 - Dwarf / Moria @Johnthesavage - Elf-King / Minas Morgul I hope you all are safe and sound, walking one day at a time . Have a great day brave Fellowship!!! See you tomorrow!!! "Frodo : I can’t do this, Sam. Sam : I know. It’s all wrong By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam? Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."
Day 104. Checking in. I have entered a "new level" in my personal journey. A dopamine realignment (I used reduction before, but "realignment" sounds better). NoFap and these challenges have been very helpful to me, I cannot even express how much. The fellowship is a great place for all the LOTR fan base. My dopamine realignment phase entails me logging into NoFap only every other day. I knew that this step was bound to come at some point. It will be sufficiently difficult. The first day, yesterday was fairly easy because I had to finish grading and completing homework as a TA, and I had to complete my final exam which lasted until this morning so my schedule was packed. I reached for my tablet about to log in many times but I caught myself and stopped. Congratulations to everyone for all the progress, truly! We are each an integral part of the journey of each others recovery. Fallen brothers, just keep on pushing! Many of those barriers that you might feel are imposed by your own mind. We can all roll with the punches of life. Mental toughness. Be aware, be vigilant, be aggressive, and fear not!
It's a better idea to write down a list of everything you want to do and sort it out by your values and priorities,eliminating contradicting low priority things.This will set your head straight.
