Hey @Arohamystic - is the star in your avatar red shifted or blue shifted? Red and we are moving away from the star, blue and we are moving towards it. I think that's the Doppler effect (but, too lazy to look it up).
Hello, my esteemed friend. In order to impress you with an articulate and scientific answer, I spent 20 minutes of my life watching a YouTube video about light, waves, the Doppler effect etc... and I'm still no better off. I have failed you. Asking for a friend here. ;-)
hehe - that sounds good! Moving towards a star...I like that concept... moving towards light, beauty, love...
I joined nofap on 25 October with the goal of not watching porn or masturbating for 90 days. I would be at Day 62 now if I had not relapsed
Thank you so much for your encouragement @Jeremy88 Yes! God can turn any failure into a success - this I know and trust!
Opportunity cost. But: Don't count unhatched chickens!! Just be where you are and you will have the success you earn. Law of the Harvest. You're earning it even with smaller failures and larger victories in your present and on your horizon.

Hey brother - everything is great thanks - I'm getting into the Christmas spirit! :-) How is everything going for you? I wish you all the best for your nofap journey. Please feel free to ask any questions. :-)

Announcement: No matter who you are, you are awesome and you are loved. You have all that you need to fulfill your highest purpose.
Putting that another way, "No matter where you are, you're there". Which for me says life is a journey and I need to first realize where I am, why I'm there and what lessons I'm learning.
I hope you are having a good day! I'm here to chat anytime if you need to! You are a strong and inspiring person :)
Thank you so much, my friend. Just knowing that there is someone awesome like you available to talk to, makes the journey so much better! :-)
You've bonded with plenty of HEALTHY bros, man. It's not you. No accounting for the wolves of the world. Stay trusting and positive and your goodness will be rewarded. Some of us will never let you down.
Thank you so much, brother! Yes! I'm so blessed to have a great group of guys here who are my friends, and who are watching out for me. The wolves can go back to where they came from!
I don't normally promote my journal entries - but this one is important: Keeping away from the edges of NoFap:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh - I relapsed - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh (No P... but MO) - I’m so disappointed. Note to self: Never sleep-in.
Sorry my friend, for not been checking on you since a few days ... Just do this new streak even better, i know you can do it ! At least you didn't watch p, that's important ! Learn to avoid the triggers, and keep going to new highs ! :-)) Have a great Christmas ! :-))
Buddy, you've left me an overflowing amount of likes!!! Thank you so much for being a source of motivation for all of us here, you are a gem this community is lucky to have :)
@Arohamystic Thanks pal, I'm improving after coming here, more confident with stuff now. Appreciate the support and friendship, you're a great great guy and I'm lucky to have you as a friend :)
Aww - that's so kind of you - and you truly are a great guy too and it is a privilege to call you my friend!
Hey bud, you've crossed the one month mark, awesome! A bit late but congratulations, so happy for you! :D
"Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness." (Galatians 5:17 MSG)
"Challenging sensuality does not mean that one must live apart from the normal pleasures and activities of everyday experience. However, those pleasures must be embraced from a higher vantage point. When any activity in life is performed solely because of a physical or sensual enticement—when it's performed through feeling that the five physical senses demand it—we've lost dominion over our experience." R Ballard
Well said. Dominion.... yep first we gave it back for some pleasure, we definitely must learn to take it back. Dominion over *all* parts of our lifes... Thanks for the reminder :)
Never ever would I mean to be discouraging! Let's be encouraged! For our family and for the whole world! We can do many great things with a great attitude. Things like 30 more days! You've already done great, too, though :)
You have only ever been encouraging and a good friend, providing solid and truthful advice! I am encouraged - we can achieve anything! I reminded of the Philippians 4:13 verse... :-)
"My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose; to be given to Christ to use to bless the world with miracles." -ACIM
It is an amazing thought to reflect on! With PMO we have used our body parts for our own gratification... however, as Christians, we must surrender these to Christ so they may bless the world! :-)
Yes sir! And when you are start serving the Lord with all your power, there would be no space for PMO :) Everyday a bit closer to Him..... I like that idea :)
Congrats on 30 days my friend. This is a great number. I am so happy for you. Now keep going forward :)
Proud of you my friend, 33% of the road to freedom already ! :-)) I'm happy to see you do this, you're on a great streak, please go on now ok ? :-)) Stay strong ! We believe in you ! :-))
