    Yeeeees! My counter has finally refreshed after all this time and effort. Who thought that a little more effort and intention than usual would lead to some results right?

    Resetting counter
    Still no P but was fishing on escort sites leading to MO, so have decided to reset after 6.5 months (196 days) - It is so clear how ugly lust is again now - why is this not always the case? Will post a full crash analysis, and renewal of decisions to stop each end every one of my bad habits, in coming days.

    "For all that race were bred by Melkor of the subterranean heats and slime. Their hearts were of granite and their bodies deformed; foul their faces which smiled not, but their laugh that of the clash of metal, and to nothing were they more fain than to aid in the basest of the purposes of Melkor."

    Day 6

    Uruk-Hai, ride or die!

    It's been a good weekend so far and I am trying to once again rebuild my old, good habits and patterns of thought that helped me become free from porn four years ago.

    Brain fog is still a problem, though it's improving. I find my biggest foe right now to be procrastination. Anyone have any good advice for overcoming procrastination?

    Struggling with procrastination all my life
    These are the things that seem to work best for me
    • 1. Start the day with a task, before you do anything else, even before you think about what you are doing for the day, do a task - this puts you in a doing mindset from the off
    • 2. Start an hour earlier ( which usually means going to bed earlier )
    • 3. Before the day ends, list what you are going to do the next day so you can start the day with a clear roadmap
    • 4. Live by the phrase "Just Do It" - especially when in doubt or pontificating - Just Do It - (get a Nike poster for your wall with this slogan and it will help kick you out of the stupor of procrastination when you are stuck)
    • 5. Recommend the book "Doing It Now" by edwin c bliss (it's an old one but it hits the nail on the head and is a gripping and easy read)
    I will travel with you if you want on this one, as I need to keep up these steps also. Just let me know.
     
  7. Been 1 year since I quit this challenge, I am heavy in porn again, heavy on transwoman escorts, heavy on anal playing with myself.

    I am starting this challenge, with 0 motivation, it’s like the addiction took over me, I am somewhat hopeless.

    I always go back to the same story, what should I do to quit this ?

    day 1 starting 20:19 Mexico time.

  10. Day 5 complete!

    With every passing day the urges are getting stronger. I'm going through one right now even as I type this out, but it won't get the best of me. Giving up is not an option. I'm rewatching Attack on Titan and one of the recurring themes is that if we want to live, we have to fight. With PMO in my life I cannot truly live, so fight I must.

    Haven't checked in for a while, but I am going strong. I am on the right path again!
    Urges are becoming stronger so I have to be careful. A relapse always happens faster than you think.

    @RiseToGreatness, can you update my rank to Elf? Thanks in advance.

    Have a great day everybody!

    Day 98. I have a Five Minute Journal that I do every morning first thing and every evening before bed. It helps me stay focused on the positives in my life. I am out of town right now and out of my routine and I haven’t done my journal in two days. I will commit to doing it again tonight to get back on track. There is a huge correlation between not doing my journal and a relapse.

    Fished and MO'd after strong chaser today - I am ready to embark on the journey now:
    Commit to surfing the chaser effects this coming 4 days
    Commit to getting to Uruk Hai
    Commit to surviving the weekend and avoiding friends who trigger me
    Commit to getting to Hobbit and to breath the free air
    Commit to doing 90 days detox, as in zero content/ media books, magazines, newspapers, online, tv or movies, nipping all thoughts in the bud and hitting them with BRACE to reactivate my brain
    Commit to ending all lust completely at day 91
    Commit to becoming a White Wizard

    If the urges mess up my head though, or push me to do reckless things that could damage my job or relationships, I will MO before it goes too far. However, on the last good stretch from beg Nov to end of March (5 months) I did not need to do this until I took my eye off the ball.

    Commit to keeping my eye on the ball constantly from now on

    Maybe the key is in the low sugar and low movies diet and starting slow with just one important task for a day.
    ..and our brother had a very good advice which I quite often failed to execute:
    I think it's a good idea to start from just one task on this list too.

    Brother how about other commits? :
    -1)prayers every day and remember to include being lust-free.
    -2)meditation everyday
    -3)cold shower everyday
    -4)study about rebooting every day
    -5)set yourself a life-changing goal for the next 500 days (so that the time of its achievement would coincide with becoming a White wizard) and everyday work on its achievement.
    -6)accountability here on everyday commits
    as for the ending lust completely it takes what it takes to stop seeing yourself as a male and women as women.
    Can you see yourself as a spirit in a males body from any perspective?
    ...I think that if you manage to keep these 6 little commits every day you will quite effortlessly be able to take care of your 8 commits above.:)
    ...and don't go too hard on yourself ask for forgiveness,repent and believe you are forgiven...think of yourself as of white wizard already- to set a compass in your mind.
