Hello friends, unfortunately I relapsed yesterday; gratefully not from P, only M, but no matter since my "edging" lasted so long i screwd myself with loads of dopamine. Today i had a bit of a headache (kind of a hungover feeling?) and could not enjoy as much as i would last week I have fallen, already up for round 2. Day 1
There is indeed no benefit in it, nor it ever had been anytime. Maybe your brain will say to you something like "so much time without it, now it will double the pleasure!" I can definitely (and empirically) say it THIS IS A LIE. Stay strong brothers! The sirens chant is soft, yes, but treacherous!
Its great! This is new kind of accountability. Its really awesome to see you taking control! One step at a time bro. Lets go. Awesome, Keep moving forward. Journaling is really a great skill to have. Great stuff. As long as you know where you went wrong. Well as a penalty now, you have to take 2 days off to self reflect and come back stronger. Main thing is keep moving forward. Good luck. Its cool. It happens, it natural as long as it is not too frequent.
No, I don't. Although I would guess that in that moment my emotions blinded me of my goals and my achievements. Nevertheless, I'll do as you say; be back in 2 days.
Day 10 checking in. I just realised I am 10% towards my 100 day target, which is both good and bad. I am Day 29 of No PMO, which is my wider target, the Spartan 100 day challenge is to keep me checking in regularly. Honestly not looking for feedback or support, as publicly checking me in keeps on the straight and narrow. That is enough.
NO ONE SAID IT’D BE EASY “Good people will do what they find honorable to do, even if it requires hard work; they’ll do it even if it causes them injury; they’ll do it even if it will bring danger. Again, they won’t do what they find base, even if it brings wealth, pleasure, or power. Nothing will deter them from what is honorable, and nothing will lure them into what is base.” —SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 76.18 f doing good was easy, everyone would do it. (And if doing bad wasn’t tempting or attractive, nobody would do it.) The same goes for your duty. If anyone could do it, it would have been assigned to someone else. But instead it was assigned to you. Thankfully, you’re not like everyone. You’re not afraid of doing what is hard. You can resist superficially attractive rewards. Can’t you?
Congrats on a new rank ADAM. Fellow warriors dont forget to congratulate the lad on his new achievement
Day 10. I had a SAA meeting. Remembering how good and strong the meetings are as they support and strengthen and they are spiritual. So it’s not only about recovery but also spiritual growth. i always back then felt that the people who overcome troubles and issues by working consequently I regard in much higher esteem than “normal” people who never dealt with a serious challenge or never really worked on themselves. however the group was large (37) and only the key people spoke and much time was on administrative things. I am used to much more meaningful exchange
Day 4 checking in. Not much to report, I feel good, I stay alert to any danger. I started reading a novel by Mario Puzo, I will continue going to the gym, I want to increase my strength.
