@ICAN&IWILL - You have been added to the member ranking. Welcome to the group and good luck in your recovery efforts.
Checking in for day 4...I've now achieved my first aim of making it to 3 days and now heading for my next target: one week free of PMO
Hi guys. I'm checking in. 223 day. Flatline again. I wonder how long it will take this time. I start flatlining every time after I've had sex. Quite annoying.
Sorry to hear you didn't break your record. I actually had a very similar situation a few months back, I was about 8 days shy of my personal best here on nofap when I reset. I wonder if there is something in that? Like a pre-record-breaking-tension that causes a trigger? Aside from that, well done on such a great streak. That's 133 days when you were on the right track. That's a much better thing to focus on, rather than the one day on the wrong one! And I agree with @x_Nocturnalis_x, take care of yourself this week
Checking in. Still going okay and keeping busy with a major project and trying to bounce the eyes and manage my thought life. Mind you, it’s been a bit slack, and I haven’t been as disciplined with managing this aspect, but still walking a straight path.
Hi, born3, Thanks for sharing. I resonate a lot with your notes about our mind, looking for an escape at the earliest and mildest of discomfort in certain parts of our lives. We know how to use porn as a marvellous medicating tool that takes a piece of your soul, every time you use it. But also to identify food and gaming as other methods as escape is a true thing. The feeling won’t kill you, but it really is such a strong urge that it takes a lot of willpower to let it wash over you. Wishing you more success.
@artifact You can go ahead and take me out of the group. I don't check in as often and someone else can take my spot. I will continue to check in now and then and really appreciate the help this group has given me. Especially appreciate Artifacts dedication to keeping this going.
thanks bro. Honestly, I was not thinking about record when I relapsed not even near to that. Actually, after 120 days I even forgot the day count for couple of times. So, in my case it was not like pre-record-breaking-tension. It was me becoming unaware of the goal again and losing the willpower gradually. Sex is everywhere even tight clothed pictures on any media has a potential to eventually trap you, so being very vigilant is the only key.
Checking in. All is going well on the PMO front. I have fallen off the healthy eating some what, not to the point where I am eating sugar and junk thankfully but just not eating well, not drinking enough water and too much coffee. It makes a big difference to how I feel so I must make more of an effort, but it is a mini vicious cycle at the moment that I need to push through and just force it.
Really haven't been taking care of myself in the ways that I should be. P&M have really hijacked my mind lately. Would like to make it 24hours, then I can go from there.
I feel you man, nothing worse than noisy neighbors, especially above you. I live in a crappy block and had a psycho couple renting next door to me for a year. They used to fire up the heavy metal at 3am at weekends. Thankfully the landlord booted them but I need to move to a better area when I can afford it, to avoid a repeat. Get well soon!
