Day 3 - Checking in..... Thanks for the support from everyone and good luck on your journey too

 

Checking in. 80 days!

Last week started a bit rough. I felt no motivation for work or anything. I started seeking distractions while working. Usually the starting sign of a downward spiral.

I could get out of it by setting new goals. Every quarter I make a goal board. Some financial goals, but mostly goals with things I can control. Like eating well, waking up early, focused work hours, running, fitness etc. This motivated be to get back on track again.

All in all, still a good week overall:
- Could have done more work, but still not a bad week. I always track my effort, so I can see how well I perform in a week.
- Went to a developer conference, and talked with some old colleagues and initiated conversation with some strangers.
- Went to the hospital for checking my injured foot. This is also a big deal for me because I usually never get myself checked.
- Finished the swing for the kids and did some other home jobs
- I did volunteer work as a bartender on Saturday, where I met a very old friend which was very nice
- Went to the theater with the kids on Sunday
- Can't run for a while now because of injured foot, so I started cycling instead

My old life feels very far away for me now. Urges have been non existent. I feel that the more productive you are, or at least focus mostly on helping others, and doing something constructive, makes self-pleasuring less appealing. When you start building something, and you have some momentum, you just want to keep going.

 

Checking in at the start of a brand new working week.

 

Checking in on day 5. Taking it one day at a time.

 

Checking and seeing I'm on a 6 day streak of no p. Feels good. Good luck to all!

 

I've found that as well. And certainly dating apps. I switched from Bumble to Hinge which is less swiping and see fewer profiles which has been helpful.

 

was proud of myself a few hours ago and just finished something stressful from work (at home) and really want to pmo. ugh. At worst maybe i'll just mo and p. The p starts me going too much and can end up in a place I don't want to be. May go for a walk.

 

4/4/1/1/4/2/6 days yuck

 

Tuve una leve caída en MO por leer lo q no debo . y decidi reiniciar..
Porque me cuesta tanto decir q no?
Me dejo llevar fácil por la tentación

 

Beginning of Day 4 for me.... Felt some urges when I woke up but focused on what I plan to do so hopefully that helped. Good luck everyone and stay strong

 

Reading MO? Is that normally what your trigger is? Books?

 

Checking in - went past the 140 day mark yesterday for PM. Feels good to say that.

 

Felicidades..

Checking in. Getting really close to failing. Just tired of it all.

 

Reset for me at 7 days

 

Try not to give in.... It's tough I know as I had very big urges yesterday but managed to ride them out!
