Oh damn @Champion123, I'm sad for your relapse... Don't give up, you achieved longer streak than the previous one. So if you keep getting longer and longer streaks, you will eventually get out of the spiral. Now it's up to you if you get again a longer streak than the one that just ended. But I'm sure you get it. Stay strong and move to the thord battle! It's day 36 for me btw and just checking in. Wishing good luck for everyone else too!
Day 2 for me, am always motivated to quit during this early stages but i always end up failing. That’s because most of the time i tell myself it is easy to quit around day 10, and always taking things for granted. I can’t take this thing for granted anymore. @Leo55 and @2024 what keeps you guys going each day and fighting urges
Personally, I discovered PMO is about energy and mind time wastage. If an urge comes when am indoors just do some pushups. I decided to have more physical workouts than watching movies all the time because I might end up watching porn in the process
Guys, it is over. Just a moment ago, at the end of day 37, I finally relapsed. I failed. I don't feel good or bad right now. I know I'm gonna regret this more tomorrow, but I'm happy for the 37 days I survived. 37 goddamn days. That's over 5 full weeks. And my longest streak before this has been about 15 days. This has been one of my greatest achievements for a while. I did it, I did PMO, but now I started thinking of why actually. There are a few reasons that got me to do this: I was too overconfident with my success. I forgot how much work it required to keep going and started to think that nothing will stop me anymore. I was wrong. I forgot that I have to fight all the time, not chill around. I returned to school from long vacation a week ago. And this whole week there have been triggers just flashing in my eyes. You know, schools are always full of them triggers, so girls I mean. I wasn't ready for that. I actually watched P a couple days earlier. I mean it was just matter of seconds, I soon realized what I am doing and closed the page. So even through that isn't really that bad, it means that if I have even a single small "mini-relapse", it will eventually lead to a total failure and full relapse. That was the case now, because that few seconds I watched it made it easier to watch it again, today. So, I mean, I learned. This taught me what I did wrong. This was a great streak. Right now I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic for the next streak starting from day 1 tomorrow. We will still get through this addiction this year. My next goal is to get to 74 days. That's like 2 times more than this streak. Wish me luck guys! I can do this, we can do this.
Gratz on getting that long streak. It's okay, learn from your relapse. I can only see continued success from you! Good luck
You’ve done well @2024 we all started this together at the start of the year and you have fought pmo better than most of us here. Don’t feel too bad about your relapse bro and lets continue the journey we started at the start of the year. The real motive is to quit this year. I know it will be difficult but Try your best to get to your previous record and things will definitely start to get easier. Take care man
Thanks for the advice @Leo55 , i believe you official the only one who hasn’t had a relapse this year. Keep on fighting bro and please dont get overconfident about pmo. Day 3 for me today, I realised i need to approach this addiction differently now. ONE DAY AT A TIME it is, wake up pray and no pmo. Not taking anyday for granted now.
Good , you have done well. You have to look at the bigger picture here. The main aim is to defeat this addiction. Good streaks will help u to do that. Not getting back to pmo is important in between the streaks. Waste as less time as possible.
Well done on the longest streak around. You continued for over a month! That's pretty impressive! You set a good example to all of us who are still struggling with much smaller streaks. Good to hear you are given it another try. I also started over many times. I hope your next streak will be much longer! Good luck on your journey!
