THE DUELS OF NOFAP REFORGED: NO PMO TOURNAMENT | OPEN FOR ALL

Checking in too

I tried to exercise if i had some time,, but i did it almost everyday even if its just 100 squat without weight, yes discipline is needed

 

Allright. Got you. Have a great time.

 

Day 2

A bit of a challenge to adjust to, but I got a better sleep last night with the earbud strategy than I have for awhile. Still not a full one, but that's coming!

@Simorgh if you think this is a tough battle so far, just wait till I get a full nights sleep!

 

Checking in for day 3 with @fortissimoBlues whilst i celebrate a massive 180 day streak!!!!

 

@KOmega check in

 

Congratulations brother

 

Relapse! Getting absolutely smoked here. Need another extra @Redemptionisrequired

 

well fought goodluck buddy

 

Yesterday I started binging chocolate, then binging alcohol, I continued with installing & playing a certain video game, I then smoked a cigarette and eventually ended up fapping.
I cannot abstain from fapping if I don't abstain completely from alcohol because I can't manage to jsut drink moderately.

Sorry, @Kn0wbie . I let you down, too. I was 95% sure I had it all under control and the 76 days were just the beginning. Congrats to your 180 day mark.

 

Oh buddy!!!! Sorry!! And I thought we were gonna make it till Christmas!!!

 

looks like I need “another” new duel partner @Redemptionisrequired - are there any left?

 

no I am gonna have a little break

 

Day 3

So after sleeping with the earbuds last night I didn't like the way my ears felt this morning... I don't want to cause permanent hearing damage and I was really blasting it. There is this great rain sound that seems to work best so far, so I might just play it in the background with earplugs and see if that combo works. It is too harsh with earbuds when at higher volumes (and I feel high volume is required in this situation).

@fortissimoBlues I used to be a very heavy drinker so I feel you on this. I drank almost daily (and heavily) at my height. That was an addiction I kicked long before coming here, I didn't yet understand PMO was a real addiction or what it was doing to me. Now in the rare instance I drink I don't see how I liked it so much... It's hard to get down, plus makes me very sick if I drink too much of it. Part of that is probably age...

 

Guess I’m still waiting for someone who wants to take me on @Redemptionisrequired

 

Thanks, but with the exception of the meditation challenge I am going to refrain from all challenges for now.
I have the feeling that they may be somewhat counterproductive to some people. Many fail right after reaching 90 days. I even saw someone relapsing straight after he completed the 500 day challenge. Dueling is more open-ended and definetly better than having time-based goals, but I don't feel like I would profit from it right now. Still, thanks for your effort. It's much appreciated.

Yeah, I need to get to that point as well. I can't even enjoy drinking because it doesn't feel good physically anymore because of IBS and my hangovers the next days are from another world. But still, once I start I can't stop.
I quit drinking along with PMO. So it's also a 77 day no drinking streak that unfortunately ended as well. Being hungover is also a main trigger to pmo in my case.

 

I don't want history removed, it's good to have a record of past attempts

 

Whereas I’m enjoying being too of the table now… having found myself in 18th place on the old system!!

 

I don't really care about the points.

If you do want to run the challenge seriously as a sports league with seasons and such, it's not a bad idea. But you'd have to revamp the points system. Because right now it doesn't reward long abstinence properly. For example, my buddy Panna has put up a 12-day streak and a continuing 8-day streak and he has 2 points, meanwhile HiddenWarrior went clean for 64 days and has 1 point. Also, you can't just let people decide whether or not they want to restart the counters, you have to restart them for everyone for the scorechart to have any meaning.
