    • Last relapse time place trigger 04:30am Thurs.
    • Emotion at time - heart broken and full of regret
    • What accelerated the fall? The final trigger was just sending a whatsapp to a buddy who read the text but did not reply but prior to that it is the fact that I have been chasing a younger woman and she just went with someone else. Prior to that I've just been having a mid life crisis deeply questioning the last decade
    • I am going to keep my promise to do a 3 day fast and prayer as a consequence of this
    • Rationalisation used - complete shutdown of prefeontal cortex just on autopilot to numb the emotional pain of rejection, and shame that I don't just accept my lot and move on, and shame that I lack gratitude
    • What boundaries were ignored?Boundary of allowing sexual fantasy and looking at sexual content; Boundary to never fish again; Boundary to stop fishing ( convinced myself that once you pop u can't stop - untrue, another lie, just unwilling to bear the discomfort of desire); Boundary to go onto P sites; Boundary to never look at clips; Boundary to never binge - all of these boundaries were violated
    • What triggers? see above and of course I was utterly exhausted
    • Commitment - never to look at P again

    Day 38

    Lessons learned today. I haven’t been praying nearly enough, and I tend to react negatively to new information when I’m not in the right mindset. I want to go through life lighter, and with Good Friday just passed I realise how important it is to hand these things over to God.

    //Day 4 - A brave friend, Tom Bombadil, takes notice of your quest. He teaches you a rhyme to summon him if you fall into danger within his borders.

    I met with a NoFap Support Group today. That was nice.

    Day 1
    Today isn't Day 170 :(
    Yesterday I went to delete my old reddit account. I didn't visit reddit about 2 years. I created it when I was addicted to pmo. I forgot that .After I went to reddit , I saw some bad pictures and after that I Scroll throw the adult content in reddit. I didn't engage MO. But :( :( I'm sorry brothers! :(

    Day 39

    Watching a show with my fiancée that featured some unexpected scenes - prompted a chat about how my recovery is going.

    I asked how I should respond to these scenes, and we decided I should make the effort to look away if they come up. Felt embarrassing to talk about, but it can only help me.

    // Day 5

    Not a fun day for me. No matter how many times I went outside, exercised a little, sung songs, or prayed, I've been weighed down with fierce temptation. I probably won't last the night, but I'm here now :). Day 5 done.

  16. Day 111 :emoji_heavy_check_mark:

    You reach the banks of the Morgulduin, the polluted river that crosses Minas Morgul. A cold steam issue from the river whose stench and vapours sickens you.
