    Relapsed today to MO, so on day 0. But I stayed off P, barely.

    That said, I think that staying off of P has driven my MO behaviors to be more extreme than ever. Need to build better habits over the times that are most dangerous for me, I think.

    Ya just do whatever it takes to keep your mind off of the garbage thinking!!
    I even had to fast and keep off of YouTube because they even got to the point to where there isn't safe either!?
    No YouTube for me...I don't even open Spam emails! Cause those are bad..I like to listen to Godly podcasts and Faith movies!
    God Bless Your Journey!
    90 Days and Beyond!

    Day 1. Been doing some thinking, took a personality test based on the big-5 model, really pretty interesting. Anyway, the long and short of it is that I'm good at starting and exploring new things, and bad at carrying things through to completion. As I thought about it, I realized, that yeah, it was more accurate than I first cared to admit. Actually, realized that it was a good description of allot of things in my life, from the way I work, the way I workout, the absolute state of my personal projects, and even nofap itself. The suggestion was that I particularly need oversight of some kind to keep me on track long term, and without that I'll feel lost on the way. That's kinda where I'm getting to right now, like I've lost my enthusiasm and now I'm bogged down and can't make progress with this challenge.

    When I started, I hit my longest streak ever, almost 30 days. I've barely been able to make it a week now (though I have massively reduced my P use down to just four times this year, I've stilled MO'ed quite a bit). Maybe I'll try the support calls NoFap runs, maybe being able to talk about it will help me stay accountable better.

    The one thing I do know is that the things I've been far and away the most successful with are the things I stuck with long term. NoFap is gonna have to be one of those things. Heard some great advice recently: "Don't quit something unless you have something else as hard or harder to replace it." Hard to imagine something more difficult than kicking an addiction.

    Well there's my musings for the day :)

    Oh, also planning, I suck at planning. But I already knew that.

    That was some great advice! I can’t think of anything much harder then addiction as well. Keep fighting and never let your guard down my friend!

    True that addictions are very difficult or at least the most of them are that's for sure...
    Also something else to note a lot of time is our own self-talk that has a way of throwing our ownselves a Monkey-wrench as well!
    We All have to really watch our self talking!
    Speak Life! Jesus Christ always spoke Life, and He is ever with The Father Now, and Soon to Return! We had better be ready!
    God Loves us all, and even more when we decide to Truly Follow Him!
    Be of Good Courage! We can win because He already won it for us!

    Hey, everyone! How you doing?
    My apologies for not updating you for a while. Got into the terrible cycle again the weeks before last week. I was very demotivated and ashamed to even update you. A terrible approach to my relapse.
    Been sober for over a week now though. It's still a struggle but I'm doing better so far.

    I feel you, @glnb8, I didn't want to update today either. Slipped up to MO, fortunately briefly but just the same, I'm on day 0.

    14 days complete so far.
    I had a one night stand at the weekend, which obviously is allowed during a PM reboot, but it’s making me think I should just go the whole way and avoid PMO altogether.

    It was a silly mistake and I would rather find someone and build a relationship with them than just meaningless sex (I’m in my 30s and it lost its appeal a long time ago).

    Anyway I’m 2 weeks free of PM which is great.

    Welcome back my friend! Don’t feel bad to update regardless of the good or bad. We are here to support you. Also telling us helps you to feel accountable. I unfortunately know from personal experience that it’s important for me to continue updating no matter what. Keep on fighting!!!

    Good Job on your complete week of sobriety! Keep going! Yes, this is Great to confess, but we also need to consider why we fall or what led us down those paths and just getting back up and dusting ourselves off and get going again, and not accepting those fallings as any kind of a surprise! This thing is ZigZag not linear!
    But as learning experiences to help us out of the Trap!
    Let's do this! Be of Good Courage!
    90 Days and Beyond!

    I'm on Day 3, was up really late with friends last night, so didn't get around to posting. Looks like I should be pretty occupied today, so should be good. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
