    Checking in my friends,

    terrible withdrawal day, in part due to bad sleep and excessive food intake. i will take proper adjustments. In terms of the reboot strategy, no deviations, i´m doing everything by the book, so no hesitations ;)

    I hope you´re doing better than me. Have a good day Fellowship :)

    Day 20

    Just hanging out in Bree!

    I had a good holiday weekend w/ family. The task today is to start easing back into routine and good habits, since Saturday and Sunday I mostly traveled and then hung out drinking beer and eating meat. I am not complaining. I did, however, still pray and take one cold shower during the weekend.

    Today so far I have prayed and done some work. I will do more stuff that is pro-recovery before the day is over.

    Feeling more peaceful today, I am very grateful to God for that.

    Day 2 - I posted yesterday before day 1 rolled around, but I am officially an orc and no longer a Nazgül, no longer a once Nobel king seduced by PMO and slave to it, now I am just a slave, but with a mind of my own. I am starting to feel better after my week of illness, and my depression is receding. I played Yugioh for two hours last night, and then I played remotely with a guy this morning/early afternoon. A couple other guys helped me finish my deck, and I signed up for a huge event on Saturday, and I am looking forward to it.

    I played an online TCG this morning and then I did some dancing and then took a wonderful cold shower. I let the icy water run over me as I clean, and boy did it feel good. I also did some porn recovery work, made a plan of practice problems for the summer for my algebra proficiency exam in august, and now I am eating dinner, touching up my schedule, then I am going to journal, do gratitude, read, and meditate before bed. Might even listen to the LOTR soundtrack as I fall asleep, meditating along the way.

    Best,

  14. Day 1 complete!

    All my daily long-term strategies are in place: daily Rosary, cold shower, running when I can around my work schedule but aiming for every other day. I did run today, though it was a bit short, as I'm building back up after not running for 8 days during a family vacation. Plenty of urges still, but as @Atticus was saying, being aware of them while refusing to act on them helped me push through. Can't wait to keep it up tomorrow. I've got a nine-hour shift, so that should keep me busy for a while!

    35 days.

    Strong urges appeared yesterday in the afternoon, the strongest so far for me. They occurred while I was doing nothing, just relaxing before cooking dinner. I tried to not fight back but to relax and just observe it, however it wasn't easy - they stressed me up and images of sex and P started to flash in my mind which made it hard to stay relaxed. Eventually, after maybe 15 min or so, I managed to calm down and occupy my mind with other things. Running + push-ups in the evening in order to get some dopamine and to employ my energy for something.

    Day 9. Last night, I awoke at 1 am. Body was in pain, almost like it was angry at me for not jerking it.

    But I didn't give in. Those urges are of no use to me anymore.

    Have a good one, my fellows!

    Day 134 no PMO. I had a good session with my therapist yesterday. I’m starting to see things for how they are and accept them rather than just see them through the lens of my past experiences/pain.
