35 and Older Accountability Group

Don't loose your faith brother. Keep fighting every day battles. At some point things gonna be better!

 

Day 33. Feels a bit better this morning, not sure if fantasies are fading, or if I'm just getting more control over them. It helps a lot to remember what I will feel like immediately after resetting: absolutely devastating. My brain is telling me it's ok to reset, that 33 days is a huge accomplishment even if I reset, but now I'm looking back and remembering it being devastating every time. Hopefully that helps stave off the fantasies a bit more.

 

Day 2

 

Hi. I want to join an accountability group. May I join ?

 

Keep going dude! We will forever have different kinds of days and moods on the way. Don't let your guards down, remember the horrible things which happen after relapse and imagine the life going back to PMO and calling yourself addict, stuck, loser etc. Of course we don't want it. So let's keep going like this forever and let's see what is there on the other side. It is definitely better than PMO. Because hard path always have sweet destination. Easy PMO pleasure takes a high toll later. We have already lost more than 2 decades, so let's live the remaining life as we always wanted.

 

We can never break the cycle if we don't break it now. There is no next time. Because we ourselves are being rotated inside the trap.

 

The amount of urges today have gone back down to the mild level. It's not even a matter of controlling my fantasies, they just don't seem that important/urgent anymore. I guess the last couple of days was just a major dopamine craving in my brain, and now it's passed. Not sure if it was bought on by time, or a trigger, but I'm guessing if I'm careful then I should be good for at least another week before things get crazy again.

 

I would say stay alert every day and urges go away if we divert our mind and focus on work and improving ourselves.

 

Day 34. Workout day 27

Smooth sailing last couple of days.

 

Just read this about dealing with urges, not sure how it would work but sounds helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/2j9a8j/rain_method_for_stopping_cravings_dead/

 

Day 9 checking in. It's another tough day but I'm posting here to hold myself accountable!

 

Be here today for enough time to forget it's tough and gain the power to fight.

 

check zero

this shit is harder than finding the right girl.

 

Thanks man, appreciate the motivation. I'm back here again as today's a real struggle. Listening to some Porn Free podcasts and logging out of all my social media websites

 

I know that feeling but you can fight through it. First few days are always the toughest

 

@optomistic7 please add me to this group! I would like to join and I appreciate all the fine input in here. It’s helping me regain the courage necessary to continue..I’ve been struggling a lot these past two weeks with my father in the hospital, work, marriage issues..I want to be PMO free so I can face with strength life once again.

 

@optimistic7 hi there please see my post above please add me to this group

 

@artifact is the person in charge of this group, and there is a queue, so you might have to wait.

 

Just wanted to check in, guys. I hadn't updated my counter properly for a while but haven’t made more than a few days at a time for ages. Another disappointing reset now but have been so tired and overworked lately I can’t get back on track. I’m getting a new colleague in the new year which will lighten the load and I’m going to try to get this off the ground then. I feel a bit of a fraud being in the group so long and still bumping along the bottom
