The Lord of the Rings Challenge

30 days – Your loved ones send you a gift as a token of their love. Radagast, the Brown, in his rabbit sleigh delivers you Evenstar – a silver necklace with a white stone. "When the memory of the fear and the darkness troubles you...this will bring you aid".
Quest Item – Evenstar

What can I say, life stresses me and I'm making little progress. But NoFap is doing well currently and I'm very greatful for that

@Redemptionisrequired don't quit on me now, brother!

 

Day 1 - At Buckland, Bilbo gives you Sting - an Elven short-sword made in Gondolin. It will turn blue when porn forces are around.

 

Day 18

Picked up my friend in the morning and had a great conversation on the way to college. The majority of the day was great, aside from one particularly boring lecture, but I really struggled in the evening after dinner.

During most evenings at college I’m left to my own devices unless a group has organised a trip to the pub, but on this occasion I was alone. Probably the most severe urges to relapse I’ve faced this year, going to have to reflect on my coping mechanisms.

 

Day 35!

 

So far so good. Today has been good. I completed a significant amount of studying and I’ll do more. Nothing much to say. It has taken me some days to return back on track. And now I am in a state where I can think properly. And that is important. The quality of the thoughts we habitually entertain in our minds determine the quality of our life. This is a very old quote but its meaning is deep and significance unchanged.

I am grateful for having found this fellowship, this brotherhood. Hope resides here. It’s inspiring to see all of you, read what you have to say…

@Baki Hanma I use the pomodoro technique sometimes, like today. It doesn’t seem to be directly as effective for me as it seems to be for so many people on YouTube and all. But it does help. Especially when trying to start.



3 days – PMO forces have spotted you!! With haste you use the Bucklebury Ferry to cross the Brandywine river.


Good day.

 

Count me in ! Let me join the fellowship, I'll do my best no to disappoint you and be brave in the face of evil. Let us be grounded when dark forces comes.

 

Day 267

 

Hello again.
It is a long while since i’ve been here.

I was once an eager and exited adventurer like you. I was thrilled with the power to free myself and everyone around me, by destroying the ring.

But that was the beginning of the journey. Far too early (about half a year ago), ignorance got the best of me, and i falsely thought that i could do it alone, and abandoned my company, (i quit writing in this challenge and on nofap in general), and headed for Maunt Doom alone.

But i couldn’t do it alone. I soon felt the dark forces of the ring. I tried to withstand its powers, but with no one to ask for guidence and no encouraging words, i was soon overwhelmed and was once again possesed by the evil forces of the ring.

But i have learned my lesson. I have learned that i cannot do this without the support and knowlegde from fellow ring-bearers.

I will join you once again on the journey that eventually will lead to our freedom.
I look forward to doing this with you.

 

Day 7.

Today I am on the circumstances, when I usually relapse. Tomorrow will be easier. But now, time to fight my negative side!

Spoiler: Journey stuff

Hard mode + no shutting blockers down - day 7.
No caffeine (no coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.).
Calisthenics workout every Wednesday. I can do one additional workout on any chosen day. 8 done.

 

welcome @lofi and welcome back @theonlyway
Let us destroy the ring together once and for all! There is nothing porn can give us. But it takes away everything

 

Day 2

Only small urges, nothing to be worried about.

 

Checking in Fellowship Friend's!

2 Day Free of PMO

It's been a bit of struggle, the mind tasted poison and yet it wants more. Keep moving forward.

Stay Strong!

@PeaceOnEarth108 I am not going anywhere brother, thank you for keeping tabs on me! I am thankful for your support. I am also happy to see your growth, keep going!

@lofi Welcome to the fellowship brother!

@theonlyway Welcome back brother!

 

17 days
Low urges yesterday, worked almost all the day. I date a girl that had beeing my friend since 8 years ago. We went to the movie theater and was nice but since thursday she is differente, is not kind with me, I didn't kiss her or any but It's weird her behavior now. Today I asked to hang out again and she say me that she can't and she didn't purpose another date so, I don't want to continue talking her. Should I ask for her new behavior? or I just do nothing? I'm not sure what is the correct answer to that.

Today I worked out and took a cold shower
Keep strong my brothers.

 

Day 10

 

I will start this challenge with Day 0 though I am on 30 days streak.
So Day 0!!

 

31 days
@nerdy_owl my advice would be to ask her what's going on and if she's seeing someone else. Be brave and honest and be ready to be hurt.

 

Day 36!

 

We are with you brother...

 

Day 268

 

Before coming back to the nofap forum i was on a 40 days streak but it got too hard emotionally so i fell. My alcohol consumption got heavier too, the Gaffer's home brew is too good man.. I got to cut back on that. I thought signing a paper swearing that i'd respect my decision would suffice but as you know it didn't. yesterday I left hobbitton for bree but I actually came back because not seeing gandalf was too much for me. I'm gettingg back to bree today boys and girls.
