35 and Older Accountability Group

Signing in again. 4 more hours and will make it to 24 hours of nofap. sounds ridiculous to push for 1 day but it is what it is.

 

Definitely appreciate that. Almost done with 24 hours of NoFap. I'm going to try and sign in again this eve or tomorrow to stretch it to 1.5 or 2 days.

 

so weird, 1 minute i'm thinking i'll coast the next few hours to first full day, then i get a text from a girl i used to sext with years ago and crossed my mind to pmo again. so week. eesh. not at pmo but will control myself for next few hours for sure.

 

checking it in, my guys, last night was really hard and this morning was even worst, but I managed to survive the storm, coasting this morning, but ready for the next show down with the flat line...

 

Thanks artifact!

YES! Nothing like besting your personal best!

Looks like you made it! Congrats on weathering that storm! Whatever you did, do it again after your next trip.

That is so awesome my man. Congrats on doing so well. Love watching your progress.

As others have said, you are most certainly a role model. You have done so much for this group, and everyone sees it and appreciates it. Just as you always have everyone's back when they relapse, we have yours. All you can do is get back up and keep trying.

As artifact said just before your post, you need to run your own race at your own pace. If you need to post every half hour that you made it another 30 minutes, you go ahead and do that if that's what you need to do. Keep fighting the fight, Freebird!!

 

Just got back from Cuba! What a place. I highly recommend a trip there. And it is the perfect place for a porn reboot. To use the internet, you need to buy a 1 hour internet card (max. of 3 can be purchased at a time, after waiting on a line for a while) and then use it at a public park. Nothing like being out in public, with little kids screaming around you as they kick around a soda can with the hot sun beating down on your face to turn you off to looking for porn. The sites may even be blocked for all I know.

Just got caught up on the past two weeks of posts from this group. Glad to see things are still active, but a little sad to see a number of the old members gone. And welcome to the new ones! Hope this group brings as much value to you as it has to me.

As for me, I decided to change my nofap goals. On Day 112, after exactly 90 days and 3 weeks, I switched to 'meeting my own goals' which is 6 days a week of no PM, and 1 day a week where it is allowed. So far so good, and I am confident that I will be able to do it like this. If not, well, you will see me ask to be put on the waiting list, with a brand new streak. So at this point, I will need to bow out of the leaderboard. Congratulations on first place, @Freeman82! You have certainly earned it. I still plan on being just as active in this group, just not on the leaderboard. Good luck everyone on your streaks, and your progress!

 

Welcome back bro. Glad you had such a good vacation. Cuba libra!!! And thanks for being such an amazing and encouraging fapstronaut on this journey. We climbed the mountain together!

 

welcome back dude!

 

Signing in again. 31 hour streak. Going for 48 hours. I'm seeing it may help to keep checking in. Signed up for this months ago and didn't see much benefit. Hoping signing in more often helps.

 

I have to reset after 20 days. I returned home from my trip and deliberately dropped my suitcase and left for the day--tried to get back into the world and continue the streak. Seeing myself in 6th place here actually helped a bit. But yesterday, after a pretty productive morning, I hit a fork in the road and stayed home instead of going to the gym and started surfing, which led to a complacent PMO session (I made it 20 days, I had a productive morning, it's too cold outside, who cares?). I did force myself outside afterwards, wanting to show the addict that I was still the person unafraid of discomfort, and I had a great evening with friends.
So I'm back to zero, but I want to start building a streak today.
I started off this year with 38 great days and then had to reset when I returned home from a long trip, relapsing several times that week. This relapse after 20 days will be a one-day relapse. I made some appointments later this morning, so I'll leave the house in a few hours and I work long hours the next four days, so my next challenge will be Tuesday and I'll be on Day 6. Let's see.

 

Gracias amigo! Yes we did. And still do. I'm glad you were here with me, every step of the way. And I look forward to continuing with you.

Thanks man!

Sign in as much as you need to, Freebird!

 

I wish to remind you that you are not alone in this struggle.

 

Thanks very much! Looking to make it to 48 hours now by 2pm. Can shrug it off and say it will be easy, but I see that doesn't always work.

 

Thanks very much

thanks very much discovery! getting closer to 48 hours.
will be psyched for that and looking forward to 72 hours as well. 4, 12, 16 hour increments seem to be good goal for me right now.

 

amazing you have such long streaks. i wonder what life would be like when 6 days won't be considered a long streak. you must have so much more time to be productive.

 

Yes, 2019 has been good and my streaks longer and more consistent. That week in February though was challenging and two days seemed difficult. (It's why I want to get back on a streak immediately.) The windows where porn is a temptation have been shrinking. I hope they continue.
