90 Days - JOIN ME

@redhills400 @Mozey05 welcome! I try and check this daily and post an update on my own progress. Keep checking in day to day and let us know how you're doing. Let's do this!

@Sobriety Knight if you click on my counter it should take you to a site where you can create your own (you need a Google account to do it I believe), then you will get a URL from that site that you can drop into your signature.

I've realized this journey is a lot about belief. If you believe you are addicted, believe you will never recover, believe you can't do it, then you will most certainly fail. If you believe in yourself, believe are you done with porn, believe you aren't an addict, you are on the right path to succeed.

Stay strong and believe in yourself!

 

I find my counter is hit or miss. Sometimes it appears in my signature, other times, it does not. It's strange.

 

Go here to set up a counter:

Once it's all set, it should give you a URL to put into your signature (mouse over your account name at the top of this page and then click Signature, paste the URL in there)

 

Coming up on day 15. I feel pretty good. I have a lot of stuff going on but I still feel like I'm on top of things.

I've realized that I can't handle everything at once - I can't fix it all. No one can. We need to pick and choose what we focus on. As you progress though this journey and get through the first few days and are no longer feeling like crap, I encourage you to shift your focus onto something else - maybe it's exercising, eating right, having better relationships, whatever, just pick something else. You need to fill the void. You need something to get your mind off the feelings and triggers. Don't just quit fapping, that in itself is great, but if you just quit, then there is a void to fill. Habits are habits, and those old ones die the hardest.

If you have a hobby or something else, it will eliminate your triggers.

To those who continue to relapse (I mean like make it a day or two and then relapse, and do this repeatedly) - I challenge you to consider an idea: YOU DON'T WANT IT BAD ENOUGH.

If you are constantly relapsing, if you find you can't go for more than a day or two, let me ask you some questions.

Do believe that you're addicted and you always will be?
Do you feel that the pleasure of fapping outweighs all of the pain in the way of negative thoughts, feelings, and even the REWIRING OF YOUR BRAIN that fapping causes?.
Do you think you can complete this journey on sheer willpower?

If you answered YES to the questions above, then you might as well just walk away from this site and keep fapping your life away because with that attitude, you will just continue to relapse and feel disgusted and ashamed of yourself.

Now, let me ask some other questions:

Are you truly COMMITTED?
Are you willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES?
Do you BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?

If you answered YES to those questions then YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Moral of the story: CROSS THE COMMIT LINE AND GET TO WORK! YOU CAN DO THIS - I BELIEVE IN MYSELF AND I BELIEVE IN YOU.

We can all succeed if we have the right beliefs and ask ourselves the right questions. Stay with me on this journey. If you're not fully committed, then get there and join us. Let's work together to discover the great things fapping has taken away from us and truly live our lives to the fullest potential to become the best version of ourselves we can possibly be!

 

Glad to see so many people on this thread who are working toward the 90 day challenge. You're all doing great work.

@MattAttack - welcome and well done with were you're at so far!

@autviam - welcome and well done on getting to day 2. There might be some off days ahead but don't let it get in the way of your journey. I found with me, for the first week, I felt pretty off - like I was down and depressed for no reason. If that happens to you, just be aware of how you're feeling and accept it as part of the journey.

This is a marathon, not a sprint - let's get it done, one day at a time. Coming up on day 20 in a few days. I am looking forward to getting to the one month checkpoint. Wherever you are in your journey, take it one day at a time. You got this.
