well these consequences you fear sound kinda strange to me but I won't turn a deaf ear to that, my friend. I have a great idea for a punishment now which has more the taste of 30 days in the wilderness. I alone will climb on the Mountain Brocken (1142 meters). The only problem: I would enjoy that But I would make it really hardcore and after sweating like a pig I will have some time to think about everything, high in the moutains. So even if it's not embarrassing but fun and adventurous it could help me to get better and healthier. What do you think, guys?
If you would enjoy it, why not do it as a reward for going X days clean? I think positivity (as in encouraging good behaviour) is far more effective than negativity (as in discouraging bad behaviour). Or maybe just do it, period. It could work like a project, where you will have to spend some time thinking about how you're gonna do that and while you're planning this trip you're not wasting time on porn. Cheers
We are equipped with the fucking best bioware that might exist in the whole universe. But it's running some very lame software from the stone age. What a joke!
The good thing about it is that you can patch it to near perfection. The problem is that you must do it yourself. Let's all DO IT
Almost halfway through August! Overall it has gotten easier... Before I started -- every day was a struggle -- I would sooner or later get to porn ...but it has become much better. Luckily there have been days where the thought didn't even cross my mind --but I still have to be very careful as I feel I could slip any day.
I'm still in the challenge and going strong. NoFap for me in August and clicking along to number 40 days of NoFap by tomorrow. I don't want to get over confident but I'm feeling pretty clean and clear headed. Staying close to the Lord and depending upon him has helped tremendously. I appreciate being a part of this forum. It has helps me in many ways and I don't feel all alone in the struggle. So thank you to all you naughts! Report in if you can . . . Just to say your still in! And good luck with the next two weeks. I'm praying that this challenge is going well for all of you. P.S. One thing that I've noticed in my own journey is that if I'm on here too long I get a little wanky. That's a new word I just made up . . . . It means it's not good for me to on to long or to often. P.S.S. I also tried to load a real avatar. It's not staying up. Maybe I have to log out? Love and prayers Gus
Whose still in??? I am! Today, I had the strongest urges so far but I'm still here!! "Remember my name!" Heisenberg
How's everyone going? More than halfway there!! This would be awesome for me to make it through two consecutive months PMO-free!!
Hey Gus I've noticed that it is not good to stay on this or any site(s) too long or I just get too involved and don't get stuff done that I need to. Anything in excess is not good I think. Life is about balance, and we need to balance Internet use with a lot of other parts of our lives. I need to set a limit daily or maybe designate a time that will help me to regulate this type of activity. Peace my friend
Similarly to a recommendation I once read about managing compulsive email checking, setting a time, or times, to check, and answer, sounds like a good idea. 12:30, after you eat your lunch, come on, check the threads you're following, and answer any you want, to, check for new ones of interest, and then leave it until next time you're on. Maybe it's twice a day, or whatever, but yeah, coming on, reading, answering, and then getting back to other things, sounds like a good time management strategy.
lol oh my girlfriend told me not to say "lol" anymore - ROFL yeah its childish is saying it much worse then use it in chats? No more mountains on my mind. Once more I return to: not relapsing just by saying I WILL NOT RELAPSE! ... then relapse lol ♪ They tried to make me go to RELAPSE ♫ But I said, "no, no, no" ♪ ♫
New to this site and just found this thread. I know it's late in August but if I can make it to the end that will give me 11 days and that seems like a good start. Hang in there everybody!
