I'm in, I've had a similar struggle for many years now. I've decided to crack down on it and am also shooting for 90 days clean. I'm up to day 2 so far. How's it been going for you so far?
Thank you, i really appreciate this Awesome job man, something im going to need to remind myself is each of the days this low in the count are just as meaningful and important as the later days. Thank you so much, i really appreciate this so much. I've been beating myself up so much and am fairly miserable about it. Im sorry to hear about it, that could very be why i relapsed as well. We can push our way forwards together. Great job man, keep it up you will regret resetting so much. Thank you! I feel motivated to continue on hard mode and push onwards. Every other time i've relapsed after a long streak without fail i relapsed for at least a week before starting again. So im going to push forwards and hahve already finished day 0. Not great as i reset after getting to half way. But i will fight onwards and keep going.
Great job man, we can make it through these hard days together. Good job but also remember stress is a big trigger for a lot of people so dont overwork yourself. Yeah we are! These early days are so often hard, days 5-7 can be the hardest, so dont let your gaurd down, push. I've now completed day 1. I Had no difficulty as i had no urges whatsoever. Im glad the chaser effect isnt kicking in. But the last week including weekend days has been at least 12 hours of work so i am exuhsted. That almost certainly contributed to my relapse so i have to remain careful as im not out of that yet.

It's important to keep in mind, though, that even though there ultimately was a fall at the halfway point that doesn't negate the fact that you had 45 clean days. That is an impressive accomplishment in its own right and builds character strength whether or not there was a subsequent fall.
Bro, I'm a student bro, work in my case is Studies, I'll study btw I just lost it lol I'll now increase my workload... Update v0.1 - I lost it

You got this! I am the same, you can overwork yourself in studies as well. Dont give in to the chaser effect, you can still recover your proggress, learn from why you fail. This is due to the porn, push through it will get better, dont let those voices trick you, what they are telling you will only hurt and never help. Day 2 done, no urges still i will keep on fighting.
Back up to double digits! I know my post is delayed but I have found I do so much better if I just don’t have my phone around me at all. I have been reading about how phone time all together, whether social media or check fantasy teams or sports or playing a game, gives your brain a hit of dopamine. I think it is linked to PMO for me - the gaming and mindless scrolling of articles and such. So, eliminate the dopamine hits because I think what happens is I get littles hits from games and other stuff and eventually I start craving a bigger hit and turn to PMO. Anyone else experience this? I will still be here but I may not post every day as I figured that part out. Keep fighting gentlemen!!
Just relapsed after seven days. I guess on the bright side I’ve been consistently hitting a week long streak, but it is frustrating that this is the wall I’ve hit. I’m back in for the month of November.
Fair enough, its been good hearing from you every day but i also recognise that this will be better from you. Make sure your motivations are right, sheer willpower cant get you that far you have to be doing it for the right reasons. You got this! Keep it up and stay posting here, keep yourself accountable. fight through this, this is the flatline and it will get better.
