Never apologize. Just figure out where you went wrong and set some new goals. I have faith in you brother as you have helped more people on this challenge site than anyone imo.
Current Challenge 3/90 (ends Feb 25) 279/309 Good Days (no relapse) Day 99 weight training (M, W, F) Day 34 reduced alcohol, caffeine and sugar Joined nofap Jan 25, 2019 Longest streaks 67 then 51 (4 years later) - feeling good brothers ... But what do you expect it's only day 3 - going to write down some marriage goals today as encouraged by espi to do and I think that will be an excellent exercise to get some clarity on what I want and where I want to get to with my wife - enjoy the day brothers
Day 0 Today I relapsed after 60 days without watching P. I just hate this so much... I took a shower and tried to reflect on what happened because that's what I normally do when I'm not having a good day. But this time I couldn't think of anything... I feel completely numb. Anyways. I won't let this defeat me... I'll probably start again with the 7 days challenge, because that way it won't be as difficult I guess...
We all know how you feel, man. But you’re forgetting something very important: you made it to 60 days, man. That’s a lot. That’s awesome! That’s a huge win. Don’t think you should do 7 days now. You restart immediately and your minimum goal is 61 days now. We’re all guilty of just looking at our failures and not our accomplishments, but that’s bullshit. You’ve proven that you can do 60. Build on that.
Also, I don’t know if this is the place to discuss it, or if anyone cares for that matter but I think calling the first day ‘Day 0’ is wrong. The moment you’ve started this challenge and made a commitment, that’s Day 1 - not Day 0 - in my opinion. Day 0 suggests you’re nothing yet, like the day doesn’t count. Day 0 is the day before anything. Whereas I think the moment you make the decision to take control, that’s not ‘before’ anything, that’s huge. That’s when everything starts. Day 1. Like counting years, you know? The first year of a baby’s life is year 1 - not the zeroth year, or whatever Then, at the end of year 1, the baby is 1 year old: that’s the counter. You strike one off and start the second day. And so on. What does everyone think? Maybe it’s nothing, but for me it’s important to approach it that way.
Day 35: Been busy the last couple days. Did some stuff to keep my mind off PMO. Been strategically keeping myself busy but I have to have a good plan for when I am not busy and most susceptible to giving in. We can do this. Onwards and upwards and restored.
I'm starting today. I beat P addiction thanks to NOFAP, and I don't feel the urge, but I relapse from time to time to sex chat.
