Day 5 completed successfully Day 6 started Its like i dont even feel that urge anymore but there is that tremble inside which can go towards the bad side any time I am awake 2 more days to go
I would like to participate. Count me in P.s: i just relapsed yesterday. So this might be a good way for me to come back
Day 1 Completed Yesterday, I worked on the computer all day. The bad thing was I was alone. During the day I had several times urges, but they were only thoughts, because of my flatline. Still, I managed to refrain from opening any of the forbidden sites. Today I'm in the office with a lot of people around me. I do not expect urges. My flatline continues.
"Day 6 Completed" - "Starting Day 7" (total 43 days) Feels good to have almost completed the challenge, but I still need to get through the last day. Yesterday was the hardest day of the challenge for me so far, but I made it through it. As for everyone who has participated. Just know that you guys are awesome, and you can do anything you set your mind towards. I'm hoping to start the 14 day challenge after I complete this one.
Day 5 in a few hours. Urges were all over! Experiencing Blue Balls now but not too bad. Right now urges are managed.
Day 7 - I made it to the Hall of Fame. I still have 11 hours to go until the end of the day but I am not relapsing. As I am dealing with withdrawal symptoms, particularly depression. I had to google and find some reassurance. Here it is: During the detox process it’s not uncommon to experience some withdrawal symptoms. These can include depression, anxiety, insomnia, lethargy, difficulty with concentration, and even headaches and stomachaches. As uncomfortable as these symptoms may be, they are temporary. For those who persevere in recovery these symptoms will end and they can experience freedom from the compulsion to use pornography. Another challenge for the brain is getting used to normal everyday life again. The brain is always looking for new stimulation. This is why we often enjoy learning new things. It is also attracted to that which is novel. One of the problems with pornography is that it over-stimulates the brain. As stated above, the brain becomes accustomed to this extreme stimulation. When a person stops using porn, regular everyday activities, which used to be interesting, are now considered extremely boring. The brain is craving the hyper-stimulation it used to enjoy. I still enjoy reading, I guess that's because of the novelty. However, I have to force myself for meditation. Recently I have increased my meditation duration from 35 to 40 minutes (twice per day), it was easy before porn withdrawal symptoms kicked in, now it seems like a huge burden and I am not so eager to do the practice. I force myself and it works so far, but I am definitely returning to 2x 35 minutes.
@2525 Good idea! I'm in! I'm going to try this first and then I'll try the 14 days challenge. Thanks!
5 days PMO free everyone and I feel so strong. I feel as if my mind is clearing, finding it easier to do my work and make hard decisions. I feel as if I now have more energy to excerise, and every time I do, I feel so good, left with this feeling of achievement, and not just a hollow feeling. If I can make it this far, so can everyone here. Keep pushing through this guys, it is so worth it; it is always worth it. Good luck everyone!
Done a day - might not sound much but from fapping twice a day for years, it's pretty good. My body is more than telling me it wants to though - been to the gym, been for a swim, done the cold shower think press-ups are next
Day 5 done. This is good. Feels good. I feel so much power I feel like I might kill someone with my testosterone
Day 1 completed. It was tougher than I thought. I've gone a day before with no problems, but I think I'm thinking about it much more than usual. I need to find something to occupy my time.
