    I discovered something about my mind. When I waked up at early and I started to work, my mind was very clear. But In the evening and night Many of time, When I started to work , My mind is quite clear. But when I was working , My mind ran different things like songs and my past incidents. But I waked up in late, My mind is quite clear in Night and Evening. Brothers, Have you felt that? Any suggestions brothers Or it is only to me.

    Medium urges yesterday but managed staying out all the day. I was in a family trip, so was funny.
    Today I worked out and I'll took a cold shower.
    Keep strong my brothers.

    Day 5
    I didnt't have time to check in yesterday, but it was okay. Today I woke up late and had to get quicly, but I managed to get in class on time. I'm going to prioritize sleep and studying this week, this are two things that I'm not taking good care of and I need to get it right.
     
  9. Day 21

    Urges: 1/5
    Thoughts: 2/5

    Decided to up my cold showers today but taking one during my morning off, normally I would just take it during my work days to help me wake up and help me get to sleep, then give myself a break once a week by taking a warmer shower unless it's a bad time to do it for obvious reasons. But I've begun to realize how much I need this just to get myself going in general.

    Last night, on a whim, I've decided to join up Skillshare to better my writing skills. I use to do alot of this, mostly fanfiction, when I was still in highschool, I was told I had a knack for it, just needed sharpening. And I thought since I was into D&D, this would be a useful skill for DMing. I'm already using what I've already learned from it to do my journaling today as well.

    No, I don't think so. But it was just one visit. I cannot expect much from that. We'll see in the future. It was difficult, but, after telling about my life stuff to someone face-to-face, I feel lighter. Other than that, I feel pretty much the same. :emoji_thinking:

    Day 18. II.

    Got entangled into conference stuff quite a lot. Maybe I care too much. Also, I have to improve my time planning skills. Day is not over yet, I still can do good chunk of studying. It should be my rest time, but I'll do the "marshmallow thing". Sticking to schedule is out of picture rest of today, but I'll try to go to sleep on decent time. I am making a green tea and starting.

    Checking in Fellowship Friends!

    132 Days Free of PMO.

    Better day overall, later check in as I had a few things to do in the morning. Busy day but I am feeling better. I'm going to start experimenting with cold exposure and see how that affects me.

    Stay Strong!

    @nerdy_owl, @soldier407 and @e r i k _ s a t i e Keep rising again and again brothers! Do not be complacent on your fall, learn from it and move forward

    @ModernTeen Brahmachari Do not attack yourself brother, this is a recipe for a relapse/binge cycle. You're human, you made a mistake. Acknowledge it, learn from it and continue.

    @breaking-myths If you have things to work through, given you have an addiction its likely the case. A therapist can be helpful, you may have to try a few of them before you get one that works well for you.

    @Baki Hanma Perhaps it surfaces then to attempt to distract you, just acknowledge the thought and continue with what you were doing. This is a practice skill of course. Always remember what you resist, persists. It's always best to acknowledge and let it pass.

    Day 0 just started :(
    I had a quite full day and didn't managed that well enough. I was tired and seeking some pleasure. I don't know for sure what I should have done to avoid it. It happenned on my pc, since I block my phone at night. Actually, I got my computer to check in here, but I sudenly had an urge to go check reddit, what I haven't done in months. One thing led to another and I relapsed on PMO. At least it wasn't hardcore, neither I spent too much time. The damages of this fall are fixable.
