if they challenge themselves, they need all the energy they can get to avoid failing at their final goal and, having failed, to do non-violence-free things to themselves (past PMO).

You may be right, it won't work for most who don't face existential threats.

Yes bro u are right. Same thing happened to me as well, the existential crisis. I'm glad that u are making progress and finished your nursing school. I hope to recover soon. Take care.

:) sorry man, I'm trying to finish my nursing degree up! next Monday I have my last class... then need to schedule the NCLEX... study my butt off... how are things? Thanks for stopping by! I can't say when I'll be on next :(

Recovery is very much a processes of unfucking the mind.

If only there were evil people somewhere insiduously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.

But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? - Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

It's like a casino of the Mind!!

All good, I only just reset my counter. I hadn't heard of the moon cycle influence.. do you think it bears weight?

The counter does not matter much, through the years I concluded that remembering the starting date of the streak and forgetting about it is more motivating. Keep it up

@Mr.Chips good point! With this current streak, I still feel fairly on the path.. I'm basically totaling the last streak (41 days) with it, calling my current point (2 days) as 43a... a = one relapse. I won't buy in to the chaser.

Thank ya! :)

Good job on following up, former me. 35 days. 15 minutes from 36 days. I appreciate you.

I like the way you appreciate yourself. Self appreciation is important in whatever we do to cheer ourselves up.

@triwizardgryffindor Thank you! I'm trying to practice it :) I am hard on myself, but that leads to stress relief methods like pmo

I used to be a participating member on City-Data years ago, which wasn't too bad. Here isn't bad, I'm not looking to get away, I'm very thankful for the friends I have here.

But again, its an anti-masturbation site. Some might never go to this site. We say that men's health is important. How can we start a site or join a site that is truly open, balanced, and beneficial?

Your theory is true.

Thank you for raising this question. It led me to read Romans Chapter 7 through ch 8:16. The answer to your question is there. May God bless us with the grace which draws our spirit to overcome our flesh.

I am glad the surgery went well.
I'm... trying to hang in there.

Thanks, it was a circumcision lol. I share your feelings and stand beside you. What enemy faces you?

Eugh, just slid further in to the feeling overwhelmed stage. The way just gets murkier. Sorry you're dealing with it as well.

Give this time to heal yourself. :)

That’s because reality is staring you in the face. Sometimes we like to fantasize about things, but the proof is in the pudding. Only thing you can do is prove yourself.

yeah, man! We are made for action.
