Should you CELEBRATE after reaching milestones?

I’m not sure about the post. But congrats on 90 days! I think big milestones such as 30,60, and 90 can be post worthy. Especially 90!

 

I can understand your arguments. I think celebrating and sharing your experiences will help others to understand better the benefits of nofap. I read a lot the "success stories" thread before join here, helped me to know what nofap is. This is a endless battle. I think relapsing isn't a big problem, it is when you give up nofap. I like to think when I celebrate, I'm helping others with the motivation they need to succeed theirs addictions.

 

CELEBRATE is just CELEBATE - an R and spelled incorrectly.

I'd say celebrate but on a small scale, & keep your reward to yourself

 

Interesting post goodnice. First of all, I think you should be extremely proud for hitting the 90 day mark and you have every right to celebrate. I'm always happy to see people write about their accomplishments after 7 days, a month, two months, 3 months. I like to hear their ups and downs, how it improved their lives to quit PMO, and with great humility try to give good advice when needed. And when I say with great humility is because 22 days is my record so far and I'm curious to see how far I can go. I understand the cockiness part and can relate. It reminds me the times I quit drinking and smoking, I did not succeed the first times because I though I was beyond the temptations...but it took me a few times to stay on the wagon and I confess I still crave a Malboro once in a while. And the same goes with PMO. Some days I feel invincible and with an inner peace, and sometimes I still itch to see naked women on the Internet and my favorite porn actresses. The images are still in my head, but the temptation does not last 24 hours.

One of the main reasons why we have failures in life is because we overestimate ourselves and underestimate situations, and vice versa. The first days, first weeks, first months of quitting PMO, we might underestimate ourselves and overestimate the situations because of the urges, the temptations, the stress and other side effects. And there are some who think after 3 months, 6 months, they are out of the woods. But as you say, we are never out of the woods completely.

Therefore I say, we should never overestimate ourselves and never underestimate ourselves as well. We should look at everyday that we are free of PMO as a celebration, whether it is one day, one week, one month, one year. Once again, congratulations and keep staying on the right path

 

I agreed. I've been in that situation several times. I had my suspicious about that in my moments and even noticed that sometimes, but now I'm sure this is true.

 

I “celebrate” these landmarks by reflecting on ideas about the things I have focused on during those times. NF is for life, not a milestone, however ideas will bear fruit forever when they are understood.

 

Just become comfortable with it.

 

Thank you I will follow your advice
I also like Roady that I follow. He has good advice too.

 

Good that you Crisreid22. I believe it happens to all of us. Let me know more about your progress, your ups and downs and what you learn
