Day 4, I'm with @Ready to Stop (and happy birthday brother) After years of trying to hide my pmo problems from my SO and letting it ruin my life. These days I'm honest with her, I have a job that I love and I didn't feel this good in years. Life can be good when we are brave enough to improve them
Checking in Fellowship Friends! 15 Days Free of PMO. I had a stressor that occurred in my life yesterday, which sent forth some undesired urges. I'm happy to say that I managed myself well during that time of worry. The wins are not avoiding situations. The real wins are from coming face to face with the emotion or uncomfortable situation that is before you. Managing it effectively, not letting it build up. This is a huge part of how we overcome addiction. We must rewire the way we handle things and cultivate a new and healthier way of living, living in a real world. I had said this back at my previous streak and I will say this again: How long did it take you to become a porn addict? I imagine many years for most of us, quite a bit of practice. How do you overcome PMO addiction? Through study and practice. Today I become an Elf. Stay Strong! 15 days The Elven town of Rivendell greets your arrival. A Council of representants explains the path to Mordor in detail. You´re an Elf now. @Baki Hanma and @Kratos_GOW congratulations on making it to grey wizard! Keep at it
2nd check in today. Pretty good streak of 20 days currently. Why? Because I haven't been alone at home for 20 days. But today it will be quite a few hours and there is no way around it. Please send prayers in my direction, I could use them
Day 356! Yesterday the two girls (they're twins btw) came back to my house. And again I was able to (even if I got a little aroused a few times) don't advance in a romantic or sexual way. I think God is showing me I'm strong with him on my side. I can control myself even on a hard situation
Day 17 / 1000. Hope. Or am I wrong? I missed it so - This feeling, Which reminds me Home. Spoiler: Journey stuff {, , , } Stuff that should help to not pmo: 1. No internet for recreational purposes until 6 pm. 2. Waking up on the same time every day.
It´s a method developed by Mark Queppet (Universal Man). basically it´s about purifying a strong urge. An urge for porn is deep down a desire for something good (excitment, well being, peace, etc) but we have conditioned our brains to do a bad thing (PMO) in order to get (apparently) good results: happiness, relief, pleasure, etc. But since PMO doesn´t work for that, just like any other drug, you have to purify that desire. Cleanse it. so when you feel triggered, follow the steps: - connect with the black hole of craving (right in the center of your chest) - What do you feel? "i feel sad, tired, hurt, etc i feel like shit". What do you want? "Porn!" - Ok, but deep down, what do you really want? "Peace, pleasure, excitment, etc" - Purify that desire. First recognize that porn is not a solution, in fact is part of the problem. Then draw an action plan to achieve the state that you want, without resorting to porn. "Ok, how can i feel XYZ in a proper way? How does the man that i want to be acts in this situation?" - Do some simple relaxation exercises to calm the body (streches, slow deep breaths, etc...) - Engage in the plan it´s very important to connect with the black hole in moments of craving. listen to yourself, you´ll be surprised! i hope this helps
bro, the negative ranks are over. the journey starts at zero. See the front page for more details. Thank you
you have our prayers . shut down all electronic devices, hide them. even if you know where they are, give that sign to yourself, shut them down. meanwhile try to be busy, it will help the time pass by
you´re both right, partially. remember that autopilot has a great weight in causing automatic relapses, many brothers report "how the hell does this happened?" after a sudden relapse. an addiction has a pull to it because the midbrain is severely highjacked by it. in our case, the midbrain considers porn as important as breathing or eating, therefore the withdrawal symptoms, the cravings, etc... on an advanced level, usually after 3 months, the strenght of the addiction will be much weaker, there will be no autopilot, and the situations can be delt in a superior "face to face" procedure. but in the beginning, the pull of the addiction is very strong, so all tecniques that block triggering situations, help. of course, one can and should learn coping strategies to deal with cravings, hard feelings, develop maturity, good habits, etc right from the start. but in the beginning, don´t just lean on that. because the addiction can and will put you on a relapse, if the circunstances are gathered.
Checking in Fellowship! uffffffffffffffffffffffff, much better day today . I survived yesterday and the night. Slept little, but nevertheless a bit of quality sleep time, since i feel a lot better today, good mood and motivation. not skipping the wim hof breathing, and already done it twice today I will try to avoid screens at night, since i see that insomnia hits me harder when i watch TV at night. so instead i will read a book or just chat with the family . i already had that conclusion before, but old habits die hard nothing more to add my friends! Have a great day "19 days – Bree sends aid! Bill, a strong and kind pony, joins your quest by carrying rations and items. Quest Aid – Bill, the pony "
CheckOut Day 1 (I will go to bed soon today!) wanted to wake up early today but it seems Im still (or again) ill - stomachache is back and I went to get my medicine ...Did not much today but at least no relapse... Im so tired I want this illness to be finally over now. Greets out - have a good sleep evryone!
Day 14 check in. Days PMO-free in 2022: 200 out of 208. Congratulations to @Baki Hanma and @Kratos_GOW for becoming Gray Wizards! I was once one of those, and am aiming to follow in your footsteps, one day/week/month at a time. Happy Birthday tomorrow to @Ready to Stop! Our streaks are now quite close together, let's stay strong for another year.
Evening of the 16th day. Yesterday I entered Elf-land. I decided not to check in from my phone yesterday. Now I'm sitting at my trusty desktop computer. Yesterday morning I awoke to being on the cusp of ejaculating so I had a mess to clean up. Don't recall any sexual dreams. Was what it was. Touched by your bravery, the gentle Elves of Rivendell give you an elven cloak. The cloak has a hood and is fastened by a green brooch. It acts as camouflage when PMO units are around. Quest Item - Elven Cloak
Day 208 A brilliant day, but one I am too tired to explain at this time. Urges have not been a problem, and life is going well.
@Baki Hanma @Kratos_GOW congrats! True wisdom comes from God, also true strength. Fight for Love, if you don't have enough faith. God helps you even if you don't believe in him. Just as gravity pulls you down even if you wouldn't believe in it.
Good day! A little exhausting, but it's good to study the things that I want to and like. The week has been insanely tiring, and tomorrow will be the most exhausting day, so I'm on a red flag. Urges have been growing. Today I thought of MOing before going to bed, but I decided not to do it. God bless you!
Day 91 Today is a cold and misty day . Sun is covered by rainy clouds. mists are everywhere. Its looks a like a white saree. Birds and squirrels are singing. What a beautiful morning. Thanks brother Yeah Brother , Let's fight with PMO evil together. We can celebrate it brother Thanks brother. Much love Thank for your advice brother. Your information is so helpful
