    Day one:
    The whispers of "my precious" still resound in my mind, yet I must resist to go on with my path of liberation.

    Day 61

    Gonna have to keep reviewing material. I need to be more successful. Just gonna have to put one foot in front of the other and hope my path becomes clearer. I need to be consistent. I should also workout and come up with a weekly plan for that.

    Current streak: 510 days no PMO, semen retention.

    After 500 days streak I have noticed several new benefits:

    - I don’t watch anything on YouTube. I have not blocked it; simply my mind does not like it anymore. It was an issue, I wasted too much time on it
    - I have more energy in general
    - I deal better with girls and sex.
    - I grasp complex subjects more easily.
    - My dancing skills have improved.
    - I’m constantly making PRs (personal records) at the gym.
    - I’m able to wake up before 4am everyday with no problem. I have almost perfect sleep.
    - I can train heavy lifts early in the morning. It used to be hell activating my body very early, never got used to it. Now I can do it with no problem.

    Protip:
    Intention:
    think deeply why it is important no PMO for you until it becomes as important as breathing or eating, for me it is, then is almost impossible to relapse
    Healthy lifestyle: good food, sleep, no alcohol/smoking, everyday outdoors sports will give you healthy amounts of dopamine so less need to PMO

    Conclusion: maybe all this is not all due to the streak but it certainly helps, the streak gets stronger by the good habits and the good habits get stronger because of the streak.

    PS: I’m extremely thankful for this streak, this page has helped to clarify and fortify my self-awareness and knowledge about semen retention. Thank you all for listening. Always glad to help too.

  4. Day 2
    Today work saved me. It's so crazy when I think about it: in the morning, right after getting up and coffee, I thought about a long p-scene where I had seen only the beginning. I was absolutely caught in it. Full of adrenaline I tried to remember the name of the p-actress. But thankfully I had to go to work.
    A warning shot! It didn't come out of nowhere but it was pretty fast. Before I knew it I was running on a completely different program.
    Lessons to learn
    • React immediately when the urge comes up / asap
    • I need to connect to my higher standards in such a moment and
    • I need to use my tools (or just any tool)
    • the motto is always "I quit, I'm not using, I quit"
      • It is a phrase of "no discussion!". Whatever the porninfected mind says, nevermind, I'm not allowed, I'm just not doing it. Just ... NO!
    • my smartphone is dangerous. I should use it less and with more awareness
    Easier said then done. But what else can one do.
    CU maybe later, the craving for that ... shit could come back.

    I just hate my birthdays.

    But its over.
    It was shit, I’ve binged, cried and binged some more.
    I’m drained and sad right now but that is life.
    I don’t really know where to start back on nofap but tomorrow is a new day and I’ll do my best.

    Day 7

    Had a pretty good morning and some decent sleep last night. Still to do today are meditation and more prayer. Maybe a walk, we'll see. I did ride my bike this morning, which felt great in the crisp almost-fall air.
     
  8. That is only possible to do when she‘s out or asleep, right? Maybe it would be better for you if you had no free access to the internet (when alone)

    Here everything‘s fine. I‘m going to sleep now.

    Bummer. Caught a cold. It is ok though, the reboot is going well, and I worked out and practiced guitar.

    Day 2

    Today was a pretty nice day, I had my therapy session which went really well so now I'm looking forward to future sessions and seeing how much the therapy helps me on my journey. During my daily group meditation session, we learnt a new practice which was incredibly relaxing and cosy so I'm going to try using it next time I get an urge and seeing how it goes. If it doesn't work it's not the end of the world, I have many other distractions that I can use / try out.

    I had a couple of urges today but nothing too crazy.

    Also, here's an immensely cute video of Red Pandas :)

    Day 23. I’m so tired but that’s good because it means I’m going to sleep easily hehe . Tomorrow I have an exam so I will wake up earlier to do an express study. But about today in general it was a good day and about my workout I’m happy about the discipline and the results that its giving in my life as well of course in my reboot process. God bless you all brothers and sisters
