    Hello Everybody,

    I am taking my first go at no PMO starting from 31st August, 2015 at 12 am.

    Will try to keep posting about my experience everyday.
    I aim to abstain myself from PMO for 15 days as a beginning and will gradually increase the duration in next challenges. So my first challenge will be ending on 14th September at 12 pm.

    Read this amazing article. Posting it for you all.


    How different creatures fall prey due to their different addictions.

    The firefly gets consumed by the very flame it gets attracted to. Yet, it continues to literally play with fire due to the desire to enjoy the sight of something bright.

    The fish cannot control its tongue and sense of taste and hence gets ensnared by the hook which tempts it to bite.

    Likewise, the deer is trapped by hunters by playing soft music for they know that the deers have a weakness for the sense of hearing.

    The bee which is attracted by the smell of the lotus gets entrapped inside and dies.

    The mighty elephant gets trapped by hunters by exploiting its weakness for the sense of touch. They bait the animal with a tame female which leads it to the trap.

    Each of these creatures gets into trouble because of excessive attraction to one sense only. What can we say about humans who indulge each of the senses?

    Any form of obsession or excess will have its negative effect on us. The true purpose of our senses is for protecting our life and for essential activities. We must not let the desire for pleasure conflict and overtake our senses. We must not let our senses enslave us. Rather, we must master our sense in our own interest. By doing so, we will be able to control our desires and live longer healthier lives.

    When we master our senses, our lives will become more fulfilling and happy.

    13 hours since I PMO'd. Woke today morning with some weird thoughts, but quickly controlled myself.
    Starting a week full of work. Hope my work and schedule keeps me busy and away from PMO.

    Hello everyone. Completed my first day of no PMO challenge. Had a decent day as i was busy with work. Only a few short episodes of ogling women while at work but quickly focused my mind. No urge to watch P so far. Feeling good about it. Looking forward to discipline myself on second day.

    Starting over again from today. Taking up another challenge for 15 days.

    Too much of work pressure led me to relieve myself.
