JOIN THE 90 DAY REBOOT PROGRAM HERE!! (CHECKED DAILY AND HOSTED BY Real_OGH)

Day 1

 

Officially on day 3 of my new streak and really feeling pretty decent overall. Ever since cutting out a lot of the edging and viewing of p over the last month or so it's getting easier everyday to just forget about it. I'm also now able to picture myself at my lows and shake my head at how pathetic it was to be alone doing what I was doing, which makes every day easier. Making an effort to be slightly more outgoing everyday as well is helping.

 

Exact opposite. First two weeks were the toughest for me to abstain from MO. After day 35 it hasn't been very difficult. Perhaps a bit of reverse psychology going on for me in that I allowed myself to reintroduce the MO if I wanted to, but have still chosen to maintain hard-mode. P-subs have not been a problem for me and I get more used to the 'habit' of no MO (I will actually need to break that habit at some point).

 

That is really encouraging news Saoirse. So it looks like 4 months is where the real magic happens.

I really needed to hear that. I had a really up and down day and I need to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

sorry guys i relapsed .Feel like crap right now all these days's hardwork gone down the drain.
But i am starting afresh.

 

Hey guys, hope you are all doing fine. I'm now on my 42 day and feeling good. There are times when ofcourse I still get strong urges but I think my mind-set has changed that I actually embrace those moments and feelings as something that is making me stronger. I feel that I'm a lot more in control of myself. In the past whenerver I had urges I felt like shit, I just didn't accept that I should have those urges so strong but now I see them differently. I see them as part of my nature and I use them to help me rewire my brain. Without those urges I wouldn't be able to actually overcome the additction. Our brain is just amazing!

I've seen a big difference in myself during these 42 days as well. I'm a lot more outgoing, confident and friendly and even some people say I look and feel different.

Keep at it everyone, I'm sure we will all feel great at the end of the road.

 

7 days of hard mode

 

Thanks - I'm not saying it's 'out of your system' by four months. But I have found that my desire to look at P is way down. Basically, the idea of wanting to look at P now sits side by side with the desire not to. I'm the judge, so get to do the right thing. Hopefully, the constant refusal to look at P and the constant decision to do something else will lead to weaker and weaker urges, and a new way of thinking. After all, we are what we repeatedly do; so if we repeatedly do something other than PMO, we cannot help but become newer, better versions of ourselves.

Keep up the good work!

 

I just want to add to my last post to say that DOING SOMETHING ELSE is very important [in my experience]. Just refusing PMO without directing your time, energy, and mind to another goal should not be your aim. You are not stopping PMO to do nothing. You are stopping PMO and doing something better instead. I found learning new things has been of great help in my recovery from PMO-Zombieland.

 

I don't know which day it is, 9 or 10. Im doing fine, little urges now and then but im fine. Next challenge: 20days. So on Sunday 15 November I SHALL complete my next challenge. Good luck guys

 

Day 44, it's still tough, but I feel like it's getting better again. That said, I am quite stressed out at the moment and the desire to PMO as an escape mechanism is there. I haven't found something to replace that.

P subs have been a problem for me, sometimes leading to explicit images, but no MO. I need to cut it out because I'm sure it slows down the reboot process.

 

I'm back! Failed the October challenge, but gonna start the fight afresh!

 

Going good, but man the urges are still creeping up! Kinda scared myself last night, but I was able to remind myself that I can't give in. I'm confident if I can make it a few weeks that the urges won't be as bad because I have a habit that if I don't do something for a while I just forget about it and lose interest. I need to start replacing it with new routines. Now I'm able to start working out again so I'm going to put in 5-6 days a week of that to see if it helps.

 

Hey! 47 days here. Glad to see the end of the month is approaching! Then I'll join the November challenge. Who else will be there too?

 

Damn. I just relapsed. No P though, just MO. Couldn't hold myself. Been triggered all day. P and the likes are over for me. Starting fresh today, my friends. Good luck to you.

 

Well at least you didn't give into P so that's a good thing and your sticking with it. We'll get there eventually, as you can see I relapsed again yesterday, again through boredom, loneliness etc. It's so easy to give in blindly without thinking, but today is a new day and I'm excited to start a new streak, lol!

 

Hi everybody. I'm close to my two-months first nofap period in my whole life. It has been very difficult some days, specially the last month cause I'm home alone and the temptation is stronger. I had some "p" relapses (10 exactly) that almost takes me to a "pmo" relapse, but I resisted at them and its makes me feel very good. I think that the most important motivation until now is just the peaceful feeling you can have when you realized that you are spiritually cleaner and stronger than before. And I tell you guys, I feel definitivelly different, more concentrated, more self confident and more creative than before. Keep fighting guys!! its really worth it (sorry for my english)

 

No-arousal method seems to actually work for me. Well some thoughts are very persistent.

There is this p-scene, which recall constantly and some vague detail. I don't know why, but I crave alternately for the scene which I remember and for the detail which I have forgotten about.
My strategy is (when it's not possible to just the change the matter) to trick my mind, that is I'm telling myself that I could watch it someday when I'm finished with my 90 days or so. At the same time I remind myself of the importance of the pledge and to recall my emotions towards it (and what I would feel if I would relapse). Finally I say to myself "deal with it".

I can't emphasize enough how important it was for me to read William's speech about how hard and painful rebooting is or can be. Not that I feel like shit because of my urges. I just used to give in to my urges just because of a little (mental!) pain.
As if there's a little child in my head that cries "I want to eat candy! I want to have that lolly now! Whaaaaaaa! Gimme that!"
Just to realize that refusing my inner child it's wishes and turn away from my precious toys is actually hurting helped me to endure and embrace the pain.
When I feel bad because I refused myself P it's just what I had expected and I know I'm on the right path. And I don't have to wait for the rewards. Most of the time I'm in high spirits without any pain or misery.

May porn be of the past!
Carpe diem!
