A full Complete Week 7 days! Congrats! Ice water showers are The Best! and an Great attitude adjuster!! Keep on keepin-On! God will help us on this....if we ask Him! 90 Days and Byooond!
Oh boy, really feels like I've been gone quite a while, glad to see so many new faces! Forward we go! Checking in; I feel that today's a very critical day for myself, and the voice trying to "negotiate" me back into dirty stuff is quite loud. This is one of those critical days. But all in all, that voice is just a voice ("the little beast") and has no control over my "motor" part. That's the truth of it: I'll always remain in control of the motor part. So I just need to not listen to the voice's "sweet talking" me into using my motor to go back into filth. Apart from that, I feel the most thing that's just keeping me from falling, is this key point, that: I know that I don't want this. I just have some mindless cravings for it, but I don't want it. What I want is to be free, an upright person, a clean person. I pray that I remain in a proper state of mind, and remain conscious of these points. All the best! Hi there! And thanks a lot! I wish you all the best, let's remain firm, and keep our vision right in front of our eyes. That vision of a "good ending". And let's go to that!
@Hope-mz thanks man! Stay strong on this critical day brother. It's great that you recognize that it's a critical day, important to realize our weak points. Today has been rough for me and this evening is a potential weak point. I'm exhausted from work and running on fumes, gotta go back to work in an hour and keep going... tired is a huge danger zone for me. When I'm tired, my conscious mind tends to break down and the urges get louder as a consequence. I'm gonna stay busy, then go to bed early. It's funny, I've been posting from my phone in this thread (my computer still isn't connected to a monitor and I put the parts in various places in my house to make it hard to put back together for now lol), and I can't see anyone's badges. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but... in some ways the badge doesn't matter. We are all just working, whatever that number says!
I broke my commitment today. Terrible! I learned from it and will try again wit more experience now. I learned what else I should give up to avoid being in the same position I did. Practice makes perfect.
Stinks that happened but I’m happy that your using the experience as a learning one. Remember what led to it, how you felt after it and it should help you to stay strong as you fight to keep that commitment you made. You got this my friend! We are going 90 and beyond!
Thanks my friend! I got a little down with family life stuff but I’m feeling much better now. Just got to look at things from a more positive viewpoint.
Hey ginb8!, Don't sweat it! Walk it off the Coaches used to tell us in school! The Key is what you just hit right now! Learning from our pitfalls, and that Only Helps Us to strengthen Us to dig Our way outa this trench! 24 Days Consecutive for me! God is for Us! And even more if we ask Him to be! 90 Days and Beyooond!!
@Soldado_De_Dios thanks, that did it for the badges! @art7 now that I see the badges... you got a strong streak going brother keep that up! @glnb8 just learn every time! That is all you can do from a slip up. For me, tough day. Lots of urges and I know why: terrible sleep last night. I powered through purely off will and keeping myself busy. But I am setting that alarm for late tomorrow and making sure to sleep heavy. Something about it just fragments my mind and the urges come in hard. Another day down. If I can just make it to Sunday, I'm good to jump into another week strong.
Day 2 and feeling good, beautiful weather so went out for a nice run. Ended up jogging through a little town for a bit, and it was nice to see everyone celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Heading out of town tomorrow and won't be back until late Sunday, so should have a few easy days ahead. @ABigGuyForYou Sounds like a good plan. @art7 18 Days to go to your big 90 mark! Keep it up man!
Check in How are u all doing?? My days have been going welll...yesterday me and my friends celebrated holi(an Indian festival) and it was a lot fun...tomorrow I am catching up on a movie(called kashmir files) with a girl who became a really good friend of mine recently....so am excited for that....all in all things have been going good for me...my exams are gonna start so should focus on my revision part....been working out regularly but Journaling and meditation is what I should start working on...for the urges part,well they have been low....that's all for now and may the force be with you.
Hi guys, hope you are progressing very well. As a matter of fact I failed to keep my strike and I'm here with day 2
@Qwer90 very true man! What is it about your emotional state that led to the relapse, and have you thought about how to avoid that emotional state. For me, I had a tough day yesterday with urges.. Until I took a nap and things got better. Today will probably be difficult as well, but I'm going to stay active and busy, I know I sound repetitive with this but it's the truth. 10 or 11 days into the new streak and its getting as brutal as I expected. Keep telling myself I've come too far to go back and I can't let you guys down. Keep it up guys!
Hello 'Qwer90'! You can do this! Day 2 for and many many more! This is a process....Zig-zag, and not Linear... As long as we learn from where we went wrong or made our mistake that led us to the fall back! I have 26 Days! We will have falls on the journey, but the thing is to Keep on Going! God will help us, but if we only ask Him! We're going for 90 Days and Beyooond!
Checking in, unfortunately I messed up. I actually succeeded to stay firm during the critical day, which I was happy about; it feels great to actually know what you want, and to succeed towards it. And also continued onwards for a few days after too. Only just yesterday, I sorta just shut off my mind at some moment, not thinking of what I actually want, and messed up. In any case, no hiding it. It was a bad mistake, certainly was not worth it at all (trust me. so please don't ever think it is, for a second) I continue back up and I insist that I am leaving this dirt which I despise so much. EDIT: upon resetting my counter, I was linked to this article, which seems very practical and interesting; https://nofap.com/articles/20-ways-to-not-quit-porn/
Thank You for the Article! It was an encouragement! I am doing Great, and I hope and pray Everyone else is also! Thank God and it feels Great to live P Free! 90 Days and Beyooond!!
