Have you completed that 7 Days challenge? Even if you had, it think it would be helpful if you focus on a smaller goal at start.
Day 0/21 Ok so this is my first day in this challenge. I have just completed the 14 day challenge, and I am ready to pick up this challenge. I am willing to push through this, no matter how hard it will get. I am ready to lay everything down to defeat this addiction because I won't it out of my life. So let's do this guys, let's show this addiction what we are all capable of!
Hi guys, I want to reiterate what has happened to my body lately: 1. My voice is definetely stronger 2. My muscles feel stronger 3. My emotional state, feels stronger, less anxious 4. Women seem to smile more at me. Yesterday I was about to relapse, but remained focused.
Day 0/21, since I have finished the 14 day challenge. I look forward to beginning from scratch tomorrow.
Day 2/21. Today I've begun the day with great temptations. I haven't had relations with my wife in 10 days, because she has not wanted to do it. I remain firm in not returning to pornography or masturbation. Today I felt the great temptation since I woke up and I continue. Today will be a day of struggle. I hope to react and continue this new way of life. Who said it would be easy? I believe that until the day I die I will continue in the struggle to abstain from pornography and self-satisfaction. Thank you for your company on this journey and effort. Without your help I would have fallen for some time. Keep writing and giving support to others. Thanks for being!
Day 7 I am reaching my goals. I can do this! New resolution: Not to use my mobile phone more than 2h per day! Outis
Day 1/21 Phew! I had no urges today. I'm used to get motivation from the NoFAP. I'm sure to reach at 30 days of NoPMO.
Day 2 (Total 23) - I am currently in a good period. Flatline is there but I can't care less about it. The most important thing for me is sleep and I am sleeping great. Had 8 hours of sleep, didn't wake a single time during the night. Isn't that amazing? Overall I am feeling good and it's like porn is a history. But this addiction is sneaky...one moment of weakness and you are back to step one. I am currently 50% away from my best streak.
Day 8 I had a wonderful day with the girl i like. I am feeling happier and more confident! No urges today! Outis
Day 3/21 This morning I yelled and screamed at a friendly older AA gentleman. He was standing on the corner and asking my pregnant wife if she needed help crossing the street and said "God Bless You" to her. I have terrible hearing so I misheard and thought that he was harassing her. This is totally out of character for me. I think that denying myself the O and other life changes have my testosterone level up. I feel like I have far less control over my emotions and am nervous that I'm going to fly off the handle for no good reason. This is going to be a struggle. What strategies do you guys use for temper/anger? Please feel to free to move this post if it doesn't belong on this thread.
Anger/Rage is a very common withdrawal symptoms. For me it can last for a week, maximum two, but it goes away. Don't worry about it. Check this website, the list of withdrawal symptoms is very accurate, but not the time when they appear. Because that is different for everyone. One thing is certain, you will most likely experience all the things written there.
