It feels good to be over a third of the way towards my 90 day goal - ninety days isn't some end point, is a proving point in that if I can make that then I will go without PMO indefinitely and will reaffirm my porn free existence with precisely that intention when I prove to myself I can. Even so, today has been tough. It was easy to forego PMO when I flatlined as soon as I undertook the ninety day challenge and signed up to the Nofap Academy. Now, however, almost as if on cue, my libido has returned with a vengeance. This, then, is a critical time. This is the time when my intentions and newly acquired skills for resisting PMO and aligning my actions with my ideals is being tested. Fortunately, I am using the forum well and a reply to a post of mine from last week in which the author outlined his reasons for stopping PMO contained the words of encouragement I needed just now. I think this works better than the Emergency/Panic button, although I'm grateful for that too. But hearing from and reading real peoples' entries about their struggle is a source of great encouragement. Onwards and upwards.
