Day 1. It's only one, but it feels like progress to be here right now. I started doing cold showers three days ago, just a minute at the end of each. "Brrrrr", until "hmm that's not so bad" and then "wow I feel gooooood". Great Maybe the partial digital detox that comes from being really busy is also what's helped me in the past.
its not like go cold turkey with digital detox tho, just turn off the internet like 2 hour before bed and 2 hour after it and replace it with another activity,,...its the first stage of it and itd hard tbh at least for me
yet again i can assume this digital detox working for me day 7 hope i can finally escape "the first seven" and onto the next stage
I reset a couple of nights ago Puts me at day 1 now. In an hr I'm going away for the weekend with a good bunch of people, with very little opportunity for "private time", so by Sunday afternoon I expect to be three days in already I also had a chat to my psych about it yesterday, and he asked me about what porn does for me/what need it's attempting to meet. I was somewhat surprised by my own answers. Ahh yep, makes sense. And dude you're at 11 days, good work! Thanks man. Appreciate it. It's had a hold for far too long, like a lot of us, so even though I may fall, I'll get back up again. I want to be freeeeeeeeeeeeee! Btw, great to see your streak! Whatever it is you're doing, keep doing it! (unless you're living under a rock and getting a friend to post on here, in which case...is there room for two under there? ) But seriously, well done. I also like that you have a "Current target" which moves depending on where you're at. It's perhaps a little clearer than challenges, and easily adjustable to wherever you're at
What's going on? No posts here in 50hrs? Day 3! I've actually struggled to even get to this point for the last month or two. Yay!
day 14 onto 2 week's one thing concern me that this streak isnt built with great foundation of strategy which i afraid of, but ii i re think i cant make a strategy in the first 7 day (its so stressing idk) ,, so new positive activities soon come
I reset again. Day 0. Instead of trying to do 7 day, 30 day & Mando consecutively, I'm just dropping to the 3 Day & Mando. Will progress to 7, 14 etc when I've gotten past the three. Three days seems like so little time, but clearly it's become a challenge just to get to three, and perhaps trying to aim for 7 & 30 at the same time is throwing me off. I think I know what you mean. If not strategy, what foundation is your streak built on?
couple week ago i was watching so many porn and it didnt excite me anymore, i didnt find the "perfect" video for me to fap into the fullest pleasure....i do have these kinda of fetish but i almost watch it all (all the video contain my fetish) in that website ,,, maybe if i upgraded it to premium i will satisfied my need but honestly i rather buy new Gundam Model rather than spending on porn site ,, for most of the porn addict this is the time to find more extreme porn and tbh my porn category is extreme enough , i afraid that the next category is transgendered person/sisy/hipno which will made a serious damage to myself.. so i choose to stop also the person that was my fantasy issue didnt excite me anymore,, on the other hand i met this new beautiful woman and i find her is so potential for me to exercise my communication issue,, she's so beautiful the type that make ordinary man afraid to look into her eyes (had a boyfriend tho). but more importanly she's not the type of my fetish, shes perfect for me to exercise my confidence to talk with beautiful woman so the conclusion is i dont have any reason or material to fap.... so its just a time bomb for me right now (if i dont make any solid foundation ASAP)
Day 3. Just finished three day challenge, now starting seven day. Started antidepressants a few days ago too.
Day 4 check in. I'm still buzzing from that cold shower ⛄. I've been doing them for a couple of weeks now, they are something else...
Day 5 check in. I'm already starting to feel a bit better, less brain fog etc. Could be completely unrelated, but I'm sure it's at least partly from not feeling so stuck any more. Thanks for sharing mate. That's what happens hey. You were doing well, and you'll get there again. Dig deep, you can do this.
