The Lord of the Rings Challenge

another day calm but sh**ty the bloody flu isn't going anywhere .Uh well it takes what it takes to get over it.

 

Breathe, Remember, Accountability, Call, Escape

Challenging day where I got tempted to fantasize after a long gap. My day job is a hotbed of stress. Fell back on BRACE to keep myself in check.

62 days.

 

Checking in on day 19.

 

Awesome! I will use BRACE too, now. I have heard it mentioned but never knew what it stood for. Thanks for sharing, @I'm Strength !

 

Day 6... Almost a week. While still young this has been a super pure streak.

 

374 days

 

Day 164

 

Day 0.

I've been getting quite lazy about visiting NoFap daily and reading up on challenge threads and journals. That's something which needs fixing. Anyway, I did have another MO reset today. It was during work hours, which hardly ever happens, but the timing and location made it next to impossible to implement my anti-urge strategies. I'll have to come up with some so that this doesn't happen again.

 

I didn't make it. I let you guys down (and myself). I'm sorry.

I'll write my thoughts on the matter tomorrow (might have learned something), just had to tell you guys. Rip it off like a band-aid.

Till then.

 

Day 7 - The Dark Fortress, Barad-dûr.

 

Yes bro. It is a type of battle with your own negative thoughts means to cut them off immediately when they come in your mind like in the form of previous memories of p related scenes, images ( this is most common case) and subtle feelings so to fight with these negative thoughts everytime when they come this is the actual combat. It is difficult in beginning of the pmo free days but after some days of practice slowly it will become easier at some what extent not more easy.

Do you know when you subcontiously make the decision to PMO days before you actually relapse? I think I made that decision and soon I will fall. But it is not this day!

 

Day 3

Today I almost relapse simply because I woke up.

I slept enough and the phone is being charge in a different room. and yet, I’m getting up and finding myself just scrolling on my phone for 40 minutes without any purpose and usually only 30 minutes in I feel like I’ve woken up completely.

But I didn’t do anything. Just ran outside and got out of the house.

I would love to know what some of your morning routines? How do you get from the sound of the alarm to the “I am a real human” mood. Because it takes me so long and that in itself is one of the worse triggers for me.

 

58 days.

Another productive day with my work. Had some minor urges in the morning before starting my day but that's it.

Sorry to hear this. Hope you'll give it a new shot to make it a week, I believe in you!

 

You were motivation for many bros here. So you'll continue it'll be good. But you know for yourself that what will be good choice for you, therefore you decided it. So you want to leave then all the best for your journey. I'll pray for you bro.

 

28 days – The PMO forces were at your tail but you crossed the Ford of Bruinen, leaving them behind. The House of Elrond is in sight!
Same routine, today not more urges so feeling happy.

 

Day 13

 

First thing I do every morning is my gratitude journal and then I get my coffee and come to this forum. By the time I have read and liked everyone’s post and done my own post I have finished it coffee and I’m ready to go. Hope that helps.

 

Day 157 no PMO. Good day yesterday. My kids wanted to have a water fight in the back yard. I really didn’t want to do it but they persisted and eventually I cracked and played with them. Had a blast. It’s nice to just act like a kid sometimes.
