The Lord of the Rings Challenge

Day 19

 

Day 123. Maybe the toughest day in my reset. I had my COVID vaccine and am very sick from it. Sitting around trying to regain strength has caused my urges to surge. I am trying to occupy my mind and get through the day.

 

Keep it up @crazyhorse11 !! You are an inspiration to us all

 

Checking in on Day 126.

 

265 days
The most important count is the number of days since I quit porn. The bigger the number gets, the more it frightens me, because I know all it takes is one relapse to go back to 0. But if I'm honest, I have to be ruthless, because failure is not an option. The same goes for my addiction. I have to be ruthless with myself. I have to use my fear. It makes me stronger. I can't control what I was, but I can control the zero.

Day 7 - Uruk-Hai!

 

Day 5 complete!

There's no denying I was in a fishing mood most of the day. Very grateful I decided to get porn blockers a while back. What also helped me through was thinking of the people I love--I can do this for them if not for me. I need to improve, get myself under control, and be a true MAN for their sakes. Esto vir!

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

 

Checking in on Day 17.

Edit: I'll come back later in the day (afternoon) for Day 18.

 

Day 4 of the new age.

Really focused on this reboot and it’s working great good for now.

in less than one week I’m going to finish an internship I’ve been doing for two months now, and I’ll really be on my own trying to find a job as a programmer. And as someone who had been without a job for more than a year and a half (thanks covid), I just know that I’m going to be really stressed out about it.

but I’m still sticking to the plan. I’m out of the house most of the day, my phone has no color on it. I’m not fishing at all and I’m listening to “your brain on porn” (amazing book if anybody need some help or motivation).

Thanks @DudeAlex, I’ll try to do something similar. Gathering all of the reasons to do noFap in one place sounds really good
now I just need the will power to make it happen .

 

22days

 

6 days. No longer an Orc. I am now an Uruk-Hai. Def. feel stronger. Coming up to the 1 week testosterone peak. A small taste of what’s to come from what I understand. Feeling hopeful. Different hope than before. Used to hope I would not have any more temptations. I now feel hope that I can get through them when they come. With Gods grace.

 

Day 227.

The sunlight and the life outside welcomed me with open arms this morning as I stepped out of the house. I feel lighter, and all around so much better.

I wish the best to you all, today. Remember to reaffirm your aspirations!

 

270 days the stairs of Cirith Ungol
345 days no PMO, semen retention

 

Day 2,

On the homework grind and some heavy urges. I have been sexually active with my partner and have continued to abstain from O. I fell as though this has contributed to my desire to O (especially considering I have held O for ~10 months). This desire seems to be linked to urges in some way. Intending to use said energy to complete my assignments and stay PMO free.

If anyone has any advice on NoFap (or a link to a valuable resource) while staying sexually active I would be grateful.

Keep strong Fellowship!

 

Day 124. The side effects from my vaccine have subsided and I am feeling a renewed sense of hope and drive. I can't imagine what a full-blown, bad case of COVID would feel like, and am so grateful I did not have to endure that. Thank you for the support @RiseToGreatness !

 

Daily checking.

St. Joseph, pray for us!
