    Sad to hear you got corona my friend, LongTime27. I just had it myself, but I had two doses of vaccine so I pulled through without major problems. You'll be fine! Check in when you're getting better. We send you all the best signals space can send :D Get well soon!

    I've been stuck on day 0 for a while now. I need to get back on the horse

    Checking in mission team. Yesterday evening presented the slightest glimpse of a couple of images, but nothing more. I took myself away from my laptop, did some Yoga, repeated my mantra.

    Back in focus, working towards bigger and better things ahead! :emoji_pray:

    @Sean Edie what can us fellow challengers do to help? Is there anything that you can try to keep on that horse?

    Well done, LongTime27! I hope you are recovering from Covid already!

    Sean Edie, space ship keeps crashing at launch site? Perhaps try some new configurations ;) I agree with LongTime, what can we do to help you?

    Just keep checking in on me. I have a busy few days so that might get me back on track

    One thing that helps is when the sun is out and I'm in a good mood. I'm keeping busy too but my mood is doing much better

    Checking in mission crew. Admittedly did fap yesterday, but avoided using P for this purpose. Yesterday was a testing day and a reminder how easy it is to slip backwards. I managed 7 days completely MO free, now on day 52 of no PMO.

    Time to remember the daily yoga + mantra combo as this really helps!

    @Sean Edie what will you do different today, and the next that will bring you success for this challenge?

    The weekend is the hardest time so I'm organising meeting with a friend and I'll be visiting my in-laws on Sunday. I've also download a book that I'll be reading when I have time

    Great job, Longtime27! :) Now I started to wonder if I've been using the counter correctly.. I perceived the counter "no porn no masturbation" as both no porn and no masturbation, even if they were separate in time. But is the counter meant to convey that it's ok to fap as long as it does not accompany porn? Or is this something for each to decide? Sorry if I'm lost on basics here :D

    Day 3. It doesn't seem like a long time but I'm getting there

    Hi Elk, I believe it is somewhat open to interpretation. There are times where I have totally resisted all 3 (P + M + O) for well over 30 days. I probably should be abstaining from the MO as much as I can, and I know most people on this forum are trying to go totally abstinent. For me, I do believe that MO can be healthy to kick start if done organically with imagination. For me, the key thing I wish to forget and escape from is the P element, so I track my counter based on that

  15. Managed 8 days, relapsed but did not binge and determined to get back on the horse. Are we doing an April march too?

    Mission control:

    Well done my friend. Get back up in that rocket :D

    Hm... Would be great fun with another challenge. I'm planning to keep this thread going as the adventure goes on even after March.

    If we would start a different challenge, any suggestions for a theme?

    All the best from Mission Control!

    Mission control, challenge crew. We're approaching the final week of March. Has anyone successfully navigated the entire month clean and without temptation?

    There is still time to finish March with a flourish, and touch down into April with a clear mindset.

    For me, I am going to work harder to cut the MO as well as the P for the remainder of time! Stay true to my original goals of abstinence

    Mission Control:

    Dear Challenge Crew,

    Mission Control has been off-link the last week due to configuration and update to the comsys (I was defending Ph.D dissertation and I passed!!!)

    Now back! I hope you are still fighting the good fight out there in space.

    Please, all mission commanders and crew-members, report back to Mission Control for status.

    Report from my ship (The Eagle):

    LongTime27: I have been the month clean from P since March 2nd ! Really happy for that ! I hope to continue with this progress on the P part. As far as the rubbing + O or doing "movements" that resemble MO goes, I still have work to do. So, I consider my mission now a March Lite Exploration. But I can still say: "The Eagle has landed!" :D So my crew is now exploring a new planet, trying to develop a habitat for ourselves:

    *Drone habitat and mineral mining facilities established*

    As I'm on a March Lite exploration, my ship could only hold 2 crew members: Ernst and Carnoy.

    How are you guys doing?? Awesome LongTime27 that you managed so long without P! Keep moving forward my friend!!

    After a few weeks, I kept going back. I've made it to 3 days but will continue through April
