2/7 day challenge 14,90 soon In it to win it Have found myself on devices less and living life more Congrats on being here. It really works Nofap
Day 2 of my first attempt, very tough, I kinda had a relapse where I faped to porn for a few minutes then I started feeling shame and thinking of why I wanted to quit and just stopped without finishing it. I'm not considering it a relapse because it was harder for me to stop in the middle then to start it honestly. I have never stopped fappin in the middle of it without finishing it ever before, but I made it tho, day 2
Day two done and in the books. Wasn't even tempted today, so I guess it was one of the easier days. There will be greater challenges ahead, of course, but I'll just deal with them when the time comes.
Day 7 done ! @2525 Time to get that Hall of Fame dopamine xD Thanks for hosting this challenge, will move on to the next one which is 14 days. I'm guessing I have to technically write from scrath as if it was day 1 from scratch in there even though I haven't relapsed ?
Day 2 is done. Still going strong, nothing to really report from the last day except a bit of morning wood.
Day 1/7 Made it but had rly strong urges today actually. Almost decided to give this up as soon as i started which wld be sad. But then again unofficially 5 days without pmo so lets try to extend it further!
8/7 days @2525. I forgot to name you. I want my name in the hall of the greatest conquerors!... It is not like Valhalla but it is great all the same.
1/7 Am in, relapsed a day ago after 52days of no pmo, but am ready to Start from here, so today is already day one for me. Let's roll
I've noticed similar trends in myself. The key is to find a healthy way to deal with those valid emotions. It's natural to feel stressed, irritated, indecisive, and that's when your resolve isn't there. Those moments are when you need discipline, not resolve. PMO is self-medication. It's avoiding those feelings rather than dealing with them. Whether it's working out, journaling, jumping to something else, music, whatever, you need to find a way to express those emotions in a positive way. This may take some trial and error, but find the method that works for YOU.
That's kinda inspiring to me. I never stop in the middle of a relapse, I always finish. It's cool to hear of someone else doing it. I usually consider it a done deal of a relapse and that I should just finish because of that, but maybe I don't have to think like that. Stopping in the middle when pleasure is high is often the hardest thing to do, and I shouldn't punish myself for having the strength to stop there.
I've had a good few days. I was on a retreat away from phones and with good people and so had no temptation at all to use PMO. It was a good way to transition into my week. I did relapse over the weekend, and I did my usual thrice-binge after that. I always turn one relapse into three at just about 7 days. I'm working to limit that to one relapse, and then to no relapse. I don't want to binge.
