2025 Last man standing challenge [Entries Closed]

Date: 08 May 2025
Check-in Day: 127/365

Today was a deeply gratifying dayโ€”one of those quiet moments when the soul feels light, and the heart lifts in praise. Praise be to the Lord for all that He continues to do, even in the unseen. His grace is constant, His love unwavering. Truly, we owe Him our endless gratitudeโ€”for He has not only forgiven us but redeemed us, lifting us from the pit of sin into the light of His mercy.

A Simple Prayer:
I thank You, Heavenly Father. Not just for Your mercy, but for Your nearness, especially when the fight feels heavy. Amen.

If youโ€™re strugglingโ€”especially with something like a habit that leaves your spirit tiredโ€”remember, you donโ€™t have to do it alone. Be honest with yourself. Be honest with someone you trust. Thereโ€™s strength in vulnerability when shared with the right person. God works through fellowship too.

Addiction, like the one Iโ€™ve been facing, can feel isolating. But hope is never lost. When temptation clouds your mind or you feel like giving in, pauseโ€”and remember why you started this journey. Who are you becoming? What has God already brought you through?

Letโ€™s remain strong. Letโ€™s be vigilant. The enemy prowls, but we are not defenselessโ€”we have God, and we have each other.

Your brother in Christ,
Samuel

God bless you all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives!

Ephesians 3:20-21 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Iโ€™ve been in your place man. Remember how I felt after? Donโ€™t fall like I did. I am stronger now, but I threw that life away for months and it cost me so dearly.

Never, ever do it bro. If your heart is racing then you have healing to do. That healing will be worthwhile, and it will happen. Let it happen and donโ€™t throw away the good life into the hands of pure pain.

Thank you so much for the support bros @FaithfulWalker @Svami-MahaGanja @Sampanyo. Iโ€™m sure i would have given up easily without your words of encouragement. I feel like strength is slowly but surely growing. Iโ€™m going to try to use the time in the day to build myself more and have less time to think about going back to old behaviours that i know will only destroy my life further than they have. How horrible would that be! Iโ€™m going to face the truth of my reality, work through it like a man and become stronger from it.

Today, something deep inside feels differentโ€”in the best way possible. I feel stronger, lighter, and more alive than I have in a long time. Itโ€™s like the fog has lifted, and I can finally see the path ahead with clarity and hope. My life is changing, and for once, itโ€™s changing for the better.

God, in His perfect timing, led me to TheHopeLine.com. Just two days ago, I was scrolling through Google, desperate for somethingโ€”anythingโ€”to help. And there it was, the first thing that caught my eye. It wasnโ€™t by accident. That was divine. This site has offered me more than just resources or articlesโ€”itโ€™s given me guidance, people who care, and most importantly, a mentor. Iโ€™m no longer walking alone.

With this newfound support and the grace of Jesus, I genuinely believe I can go further than I ever imagined. Maybe 400 days. Maybe even 1000. The numbers donโ€™t matter as much as the freedom that lies ahead.

Today has been a giftโ€”pure and untroubled. I didnโ€™t struggle, not even once. And that, to me, is nothing short of a miracle. My heart is anchored in Christ, and I know He is my Redeemer. He is the one who breaks chains and brings restoration.

So I press on. Not in my own strength, but in His.
Be strong. Be vigilant. Stay alert.

Your Brother in Christ,
Samuel

God bless you all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives!

John 6:44-45 (KJV) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

Today felt like a turning pointโ€”a day of clarity and deep conviction. As I reflect, thereโ€™s a quiet joy stirring in my heart. I spent much of today thinking deeply about sexual sobriety, searching for wisdom, and being honest with myself about where I stand and where I want to go. Itโ€™s not just about avoiding failure anymore; itโ€™s about living in freedomโ€”Godโ€™s freedom.

Iโ€™ve made a decision that feels sacred: starting tomorrow, Iโ€™m launching a new journal titled Sanctified Discipline: A Christian Journal for Sexual Sobriety. This isnโ€™t just a new writing spaceโ€”it marks Day 1 of a new chapter, a new beginning rooted in surrender and strength. Itโ€™s not just about discipline, but about becoming who God created me to be.

Thereโ€™s a sense of solemn joy in this moment. I feel Godโ€™s hand gently guiding me toward wholeness. As my mother always says, โ€œItโ€™s time for you to grow up.โ€ Those words ring louder today. This isnโ€™t about willpower aloneโ€”this is about maturing, about shedding the boyish patterns and embracing the man God is calling me to be.

Tomorrow begins a new journeyโ€”not just a personal goal, but a spiritual pilgrimage. I choose to be strong. I choose vigilance. I choose to stay alert, not just in body, but in spirit.

Thank you, Lord, for leading me here.

Be strong. Be vigilant. Stay alert.

Your Brother in Christ,
Samuel

God bless you all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives!

Acts 9:3-5 (KJV) And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

I peeked today probably for the first time this year. Now i regret it because the temptation is lingering and iโ€™m experiencing the all too familiar struggle with urges and FOMO. I need to remember that addiction has taken away from my life so much time and opportunities for growth and iโ€™ll be a fool to let that continue. Writing here, i hope i can prevent myself from peeking again. I know from past experience that it is difficult (almost impossible) to fight urges after peeking. The temptation to peek more suddenly becomes an all-consuming thought. But i have remind myself that the only destination that path leads to is relapse and deep misery. So, here, now, I promise myself to not fall into the trap of peeking especially in the coming week. :pray:t6:

Remember that through your own strength, others are lifted up bro. Through fighting PMO for yourself, you fight PMO for others.

Protect yourself and others from evil. You are strong enough :muscle:.

Check-In Day 131/365โœ…

Day 16 of my cosmic Supercharge.

Yesterday was great, gained much clarity.
I got really aware of my phone usage last week, and from today on I will limit myself to check my necessities only 3 times daily and spend more time reading and nurturing my business.

Also started a new spiritual discipline cycle for 21 days.

I keep accelerating in grounded awareness and clarity without pressure.

Keep going guys :v:

Peace :person_in_lotus_position:

1 John 4:6-9 (KJV) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
