    Hello my brothers and sisters. I´m back :)

    Good to see the Fellowship alive and kicking and everybody on their way to destroy the PMO ring :). Proud of you.

    Well, during these couple of weeks i read a book that a brother put it here, i can´t remember who was, but you know who you are, so thank you :)

    it´s SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION. here´s the link to it: SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION

    this book was eye opening for me (and i thought i knew it all :D ). this book not only shows a clear effective way to break easily from pmo but it also shows that we´re doing nofap for different reasons than we do pmo. most of us do nofap because of the detrimental effects of pmo, it´s a destructive behaviour, no doubt. but that by itself is not motivating enough in the long run, because deep down we think pmo is a pleasure and we´re doing a sacrifice of breaking free from it. we are, in a way, deprived.

    what this book shows very clearly is that the entire pmo behaviour as "pleasure" is a complete illusion, a lie.

    i won´t get into details, but please read the book. it´s really groundbreaking because once you see the reasons why you do pmo are not what you think, the entire "need" for pmo falls apart like a domino line.

    so yesterday, 10/1/2021, i did the last pmo session of my life and i will never do pmo again :)

    i still don´t defend the counting of days because that tends towards "an event" and may focus the attention of the rebooter on the number of days gone and ahead, instead of focusing in living life to it´s fullest now.

    so what i will do is mark on my agenda when i reach a rank or landmark in the journey of the ring, and when the day comes, i will post it here :). all challengers are free to stop counting if they prefer, as long as they tell when they upgrade ;)

    Good to be with you once more. I feel totally free from pmo but i´m gonna throw that ring into the fire even though. Like everybody here!!! ;). Onwards!!!!!!

    I'm so glad to see you back! That's a great book, and you have done a lot of people, including me, a lot of good by making this challenge. I celebrate each day of freedom here, on my way to finally see the ring back to the fire from whence it came.

    I know how you feel. We can do it, but not by will power. We need a plan. @RiseToGreatness has a great list at the beginning of this challenge, and also in his signature.

    Day 11

    I learnt my lesson today, don’t have too much caffeine! I had three cups of black coffee before midday (I normally just have one) and the effect it had on my heart rate and anxiety did not help my fight against PMO.

    I made a resolution not to have any caffeine after midday to improve my sleep, but I also need to consider my consumption - I’ll be sticking to one cup a day when I’m at home from now on!

    Day 7- Uruk-Hai day!

    Today:
    -meditated, 3 min.
    -prayed
    -brief cold shower
    -ate one meal, pretty healthy
    -so far no alcohol today for the first time in a while.

    I've been bad again with social media, and with time studying PMO addiction and recovery. I will resolve to spend more time doing this.

    I also did MO today to memories of past, real sexual experiences that I have had, not porn or anything related to my specific type of porn/weird fantasy. I'm not happy about this, but I do feel relieved of urges at the moment. The down side, of course, is that I'm also now a bit enervated.

    So, I've changed my badge to "No Porn." This doesn't mean I'm now permissive with myself about MO. I view it as bad and I aim not to do it again for at least a couple weeks, but for me, right now, MO without P is definitely the lesser evil. At least it was today.
