Thanks for your words of wisdom! This is awesome. I have broken up 90 days challenge into 6 phases to test and build my will power gradually. (15 Days x 6 times) I am on my Day1. My mind wandered to known areas of web porn, but I was able to quickly take U turn from there. After that whole day was tad easy. I was able to control my urge and reflect upon what goes into my triggers. It's amazing how these things hardwired themselves into daily routine. Feeling bored goto P, Feeling anxious goto P, as if P has become an end-All for all your emotions. I am realizing how much time and effort it will take to remove this junk and build a complete new channels in my brain. I am making list of hobbies that I always wanted to have and somehow never gotten around them. Hopefully now when I need fillers to divert my mind to different activities, I will be able to have those hobbies.
I think you have already completed two of the hardest steps. 1 - Accepting the fact that you have an addiction 2 - Realizing that this habit is causing more harm than good After these two steps, I think you will find a way to take control and get grip on your life. Remember, you're the master of your universe. So, Congratulations buddy! I am in the same boat and I am sure we're going to get there! I am creating list of hobbies that I always wanted to pursue. This has filled me with positive energy and taken my mind away from P. You may want to try it.
I'd like to join -- even though I'm 2 days late. I'm brand new to the site and am feeling kinda lost. How do I start a 90 reboot? I'd like to get one of those charts that graph one's progress. I'd appreciate any guidance on this I can get.
Hey, you are not late, we are happy to meet you. To get such a counter, just click on any other counter in signature and log in through Google+. The site will offer to create your own counter which you can customize. Hope I helped.
You are welcome buddy. You are never late since you have arrived. Keep strong and we shall beat this enemy together.
I relapsed. I dont know what happened any why. I know I was almost there. But im not gonna think about how near I was but how determined I am to restart with the same first power I had. Day 0 for me and tomorrow a new sun is coming up and Im gonna beat this addiction.
Oh god man. You were so close to your goal, maybe this distracted you? Don't worry, you are not on Day 0. You'll overcome those 90 Days really fast.
So sorry about your relapse. That must be so discouraging. But to quote you back to yourself: keep strong and we will beat this enemy together!
Thanks for your support guys. The main reason for my relapse that i watched normal movie which has sx scenes which made me fall in the trap. I posted one thread in the relapse section you can check it. Im feeling better now, i have made it for 77 days and this is an achievement im not gonna ignore. I never reached this far before. Keep strong guys and we will rise together
Thanks for your words maverick. we will beat this addiction together and thanks for your advice , i am having my final term exams so it's keeping me busy until i finish on 12/6 after that i have made a goal to go after which is completing 20 chess related books and 30 programming related books in a 4 month time " summer's break before the first term starts " .
so day 3 is almost finished believe it or not this is a new record for me "D so every day from now on will be a new record .. stay strong and good luck all .
My day is completed. Of course, it just Day 1, but it's harder to avoid urges than on Day 10 for me, because you must resist binging and thoughts like "Oh, it's already Day 0, so if I'll fap one more time, nothing will change." Actually it changes a lot.
and yeah the hard part is the first mouth ^_^ because u need to ''break'' ur routine , habit .. for me the benefit was at day 21-25 ! For all of u guy who try a 30 day challenge , please dont fall into this trap . ( to say '' i did 30 day ... so now its over i can masturbate ) . just try 90 and why not MORE ! ( i want to make 120 day )
Great to see a fellow programmer here. I have also struggled with the same and it is time to kick out this vice. Keep on fighting bro!!
