Yes, headaches are normal while the brain is rewiring. in fact when i was in full PMO life, i had headaches all the time, not they almost completely vanished Keep going brother!!! You entered the Misty Mountains
You have to make it difficult to acess eletronic devices. The problem with the blockers is that they can be overrun if the urges becomes very strong, an addict in desperation usually finds a way to surpass the blockers. The ideal is to create an environment where you can´t acess eletronic devices at ease. identify all the situations that cause you hesitation and create a physical barrier for them. example: let´s say you usually collapse at night when alone in the room. so don´t take the mobile to the room, shut it down, and put in a place where you it´s really difficult for you to get it. that way, even if at night an urge appears, it will be so difficult for you to acess the phone, that you immediately lose hope and go to sleep . Don´t trust yourself in this period brother, make the task of pmo really hard. also daily engage in good habits and the reboot mental training Let´s go my brother. I believe in you.

Relapsed a few times over the weekend. So back to Day 1. My willpower has been nonexistent. When I get urges, I give in way too easily. I need to find a way to boost myself back up and truly get motivated. I always start out strong but end up failing right around the 2 week mark. That seems to be the toughest week for me. Need to figure out a new plan or something. I cannot keep failing and living like this.
Here! A letter from the late afternoon of day 8! Urges today were quite bad, but better than yesterday. Art and meditation are really helping. I noticed myself falling back into old thought patterns during one of my meditations, so I need to remember to stay constantly aware of what's going on in my head - especially as I approach today's "danger zone" (as I like to call it, when I'm most liable to relapse between 5pm and 5am). Even now I feel an urge in the back of my mind, which I will deal with accordingly: I feel like doing some drawing. I will not stop here!
GOD. FUCKING. DAMN IT. I was in a vulnerable state and instead of going through with my usual protocol I decided to look up NoFap stuff. Man what a fucking mistake that was. We have to remember that a pretty large subsection of people who use NoFap view it as more of a challenge and don't see themselves as addicted. These same people post triggering shit all over their content. Normally it wouldn't have gotten to me much but I was already in a weakened state and I saw it as an excuse to relapse. That's bullshit and I knew it at the time but I didn't care. Why the fuck didn't I care? This was my best streak in months, on track to be my best streak all year in a matter of days, and I fucking blew it. Not to mention I've got a big event coming up in a few days I was hoping I could have a good streak going for for the sake of my confidence. Now it's all blown away. Day 0.
Checking in day 40 done. All is well. Working on my goals. Gaining some insight into myself and my relationships. Have a great day brothers!
