A Progressive Challenge-A different kind of challenge- all levels

Why?

 

60 days alcohol-free & 23 days MO free!@
I had a pretty rough morning today, I woke up at 6AM and the urges were stronger than ever,
I really felt like a ticking bomb that is going to explode in any moment..
but, luckily, soon as I got out of the bed the urges were gone.
I feel a lot better now, still stressed a little bit but that's fine.
Good luck to everyone, I believe in you guys!

update:
I can't believe that I'm saying this but, I'm probably going to relapse today

 

Day 14 no PM, Day 9 no PMO.

 

Anyway, last night I was on the edge of a relapse, but I managed to fight it before it was too late. I was in my bed and I couldn't help but think about sex. It happens to everyone every now and then, but I was particularly stressed so I stupidly started doing that dreadful motion, but after very few strokes I realized I had to stop immediately, and so, like I had a sudden adrenaline kick, I took a deep breath, got my hands as far from my dick as I could, vigorously turned over, face down in the pillow and my hands were now pressing over the other pillow I put over my head. Then I started breathing, calmed myself and eventually fell asleep. It was really fucking tense, it's really the first time since very long ago that urges hit me so strong, and surely the first time I managed to resist them. I thought the dopamine released by my brain just from that would have made me feel like shit the day after, but I actually feel very good because I managed to resist. But I can do better. Next time I won't have to stop, because I won't even start.

 

My first challenge is upto December 31st. That makes it 16 days starting from tomorrow. Wish me luck!

EDIT: I actually started from the 17th, so it is 15 days I am aiming for. Sorry I screwed up one day....I am certain that I'll be able to succeed this time.

 

Day 31 (!) - Wow! I feel a lot better than a week ago. My body is starting to relax more deeply than ever. I'm identifying and loosening up old stagnation, both physically and mentally.
Tech free week was soooo good. Very recommendable. It was very hard the first few days, felt like a mild withdrawal - I realized I was addicted to the constant stream of new information and the mental stimulation in getting all that novelty.
I'm going in for another tech free week. My next goal is 50 days.

Wow, that is true progress! Nicely done. I hope you are proud of yourself. Now you know that it is possible to resist! Great job.

Don't do it man!!! You've come this far! Step back and take a look at how you are feeling, and think back 23 days to how you felt and your motivation to never PMO again. Whatever you crave, whatever you need, whatever you feel that you have to escape from, I PROMISE YOU that PMO will not make things better! Find another way to face your troubles and get through the toughest urges by distracting yourself for 10-15 minutes. They don't usually lost longer than that!

Great, Good luck. But start today!

 

Come on man! It’s not worth it, and you know that.

 

1/3. Busy and calm. Decided to start callisthenics and prepare dinners for my family everyday. Went for a 30 minute-long walk and did some shopping for the weekend. I´m going to get up at 5:45 a.m. tomorrow, take a shower, work for 5 hours and then be with my family. Would like to watch a movie with them in the evening. My plan for any urges: just to walk away. Go out and come back after my family is home.

 

I took antibiotic pill about a hour ago and I'm so dizzy right now, I can barely see what I'm writing,
everything is blurry and it's only getting worse -.-

 

My goal is to beat my last streak, day 1/11. Wish me luck

 

4/7.

Wasn't feeling strong a few days ago, and I still don't, but 4 days is decent. But still, I feel quite weak at the moment. My mind doesn't want PMO, but my body...

 

You're really incredible, dude. I could learn a thing or two from you. Fantastic job! I love your determination!!

 

Day 15/21 for me. Feeling pretty good. I was having some pretty bad urges last night, I started humping my bed a little bit without even thinking about it, but as soon as I realized what I was doing and what I would be throwing away if I kept going, the urges just vanished from my mind and I went back to listening to the debate I was listening to at the time. It blows me away that the furthest I'd gotten before this was less than 1/3 how far I've made it this time (4 days). Man, I've grown a lot since then.
Separate note, my confidence is improving. I caught a girl checking me out today, that felt nice. I'm feeling a lot more comfortable in my own body and my own voice, and I'm able to talk to women a lot more naturally than before (although I still have a long way to go until I am as confident and comfortable around women as I dream of being). I'm on my way there, but it'll take a lot more of this before I get to that point.
Last week I had a downwards slope in the superpowers you get from nofap, but I realized I was slipping a little bit, and checking out and fantasizing a lot more than I should be. I've started thinking a lot more healthily since then, and everything has been getting a lot better. I just got back from an exhausting day of school, followed by chaotic driving around and several hangouts with various friends, followed by a play (those always tire me out for some reason). It's 9:30 now and I still feel like staying up a bit longer and getting some homework done so I can be more free over the weekend. Life is really good right now.

 

Day 24 here, nothing really changed from yesterday..
If I'll survive this day without masturbating/edging it would be a new record for me beating my urges :X

by the way-
I noticed that my junk is really soft, even when I have a boner
is that normal?

 

5/30 no PMO, 58 days no alcohol. Works Xmas party last night, free bar and drank only lemonade. Left after 3hrs though as felt really uncomfortable and became anxious with how half of the women looked. Hoping I can get past this in big social situations. It really freaked me out I could see potential triggers everywhere

 

Yeah, but I thought edging released dopamine, even if it was just for a few seconds.

I'm flattered, but I'm really nothing special, I'm just a very lucky fucked up guy who's learning to live, I'm sure I could learn many things from you, I've read your last post, you are doing great!
