The Race to 90 - To the victor goes the title

Wretched I don't know if it is your icon photo or just the short posts, but I hope you are doing okay. I would enjoy seeing more content from you. But I also understand if you are just posting elsewhere. Keep up the good work.

 

Great 24 hrs. Today I am filled with a healthy mix of excitement and doubt. You see I have decided to pursue my dreams and it is scary to put yourself out there. But I also have to admit that it feels good to be trying. Struggling to progress or overcome something is where some of the greatest satisfaction in life comes from. The knowledge that you are doing something that you didn't know you could do is not only powerful but invigorating. I am grateful for the opportunity to be uncomfortable in my personal growth. I look forward to the next 24hrs.

 

keep rocking man.

 

Day 4. 12 more hours to conquer the day. Having a spike in confidence. While studying I've noticed a significant increase in memory. Following the rules and going as per plan makes things easier.

 

No PMO - Day 5 / 90

Doing fine!
I've just been too busy to write much recently and that's good to keep me from getting sidetracked into temptations that come along.
Good to hear from your updates as well, @JR-62 and @thor'sstormbreaker
I like your icon, @JR-62, where it's representing trying to overcome something, like pushing a heavy burden up a steep mountain.
@thor'sstormbreaker, ah, keeping sober from PMO does keep my mind sharper too.

Step by step, my friends!

 

Had a very interesting conversation with my friends yesterday, and told them how I've come to be a fapstronaut, and they all encouraged me to go on. A few of them already had similar problems in their relationships and now I see porn consume as problematic behaviour, more than ever before.
Guys I don't want any of you to ever relapse again! Show me your best side and keep on fighting!!!

 

Some people move on.
But not us....
Not us.

 

day 4. So far so good. Got urges in the evening, zapped them. And again of course one day at a time.

 

Hello guys. Changed my name. Starting day 5. Feeling awesome. Will report at the end of the day.

 

welcome back @Jefe Rojo .Good to have you again mate.

 

Okay, That is great to hear. I know that this group can seem very impersonal if you don't join in the conversation and I just wanted you to know that We want your insight. Thanks, Yeah I looked long and hard for a new image and found this one. I like that you can see that while it is hard he is succeeding and he is getting stronger. This to me is what betting PMO is all about.

 

Yeah, it is interesting to me that some talk about PMO as though the effects are not real. But like you, I have not only heard the stories I have LIVED one of those stories. I robbed myself of great relationships because I was afraid to tell my partner about my PMO and I hid it like a shame-filled creature of darkness. PMO will slowly rob you of connections until you find yourself emotionally bankrupt.

 

Agreed, the fact that we have broken our silence is a powerful thing. We will become who we want to be.

 

Sometimes using same motivation daily kinda feels bored. Today is one such day, I'm not productive, feeling groggy. I'm trying to study but can't do effectively. Fear of relapse kicked in. I will fight, but I'm feeling weak both mentally and physically at the moment.
Any advice?

 

@Jefe Rojo Do you remember when I was in your place 18 days ago? This is a war and Honor will be gained and lost in each battle, but this isn't over yet. Think of the strength that you have built. Think new habits that you have gained. Look at all of us who you have helped. I know you are down in the dumps right now, but remember that even pro boxers get knocked out. Even the greatest of all people still fall apart. And even Jesus Wept when he wanted the cup to be removed from Him. But the single greatest thing about humanity is that we have the ability to get back up again clear away the rubble and build again. I believe in you Jefe.

 

Yes
1. If you are tired go to bed. (Lack of sleep is always a big trigger and weak moment for me)
2. Remember those thoughts will come and go, but you decide which ones will grow.
3. Commit to me that you will make it through these 24hrs. Just these 24 can you do that?

 

4. Find someone else to lift. you

 

I had a good 24hrs. I admit that I am a little tired and it has been affecting my thoughts around PMO. But I am going to go to bed early tonight because everything is fresh in the morning. I will see you in the next 24hrs

 

I will get past this 24 hours bro.
