today I took it more easy. didn’t exercise but went on a walk at least. tomorrow I’ll workout again. essentially I didn’t use any internet for 3 days, so I’m proud of being on the right path with nosurf.

Day 5
Yesterday in the evening I did exercise and I’m happy with myself about that. It was a good evening hence. Today I woke up early. I did my workout. Today I’m not feeling well tbh today I’m not as easy going around people. I did read for an hour but couldn’t really understand much. Idk today is challenging. but we need to keep going

Update:
I was doing really good. I fell after 19 days.
It was still amazing in my eyes.
It was not even adult content in that sense. But now after 23 days I relapsed unfortunately.
I got benefits. Like reading was often effortless. Hence I could contribute more to discussions and saw respect in the eyes of someone who underestimated me previously.
At the same time I also had unrefreshing sleep a couple times. Also my skin didnt improve as much as previously. Maybe I only get that benefit in the summer.
I felt confident and sudden strength to defend my position like never before, especially when the other person was challenging me.

Since that last time, I’ve been struggling with 2-3 day long streaks. But now I feel determined. I will be back and at a better place than before with God’s assistance.
Day 1 completed.

Day 2 completed.
Have been intermittent fasting, so today I felt better.
Just have not exercised much this week, so that’s my plan for tomorrow.
I want to succeed with this so much. To get back to the benefits I experienced not long ago - it is possible. I will take it one day at a time and get there, I’m sure.

So happy that the worst stage is behind me.
Now I’m setting up good blocking software on my pc. It didn’t work yesterday. I hope I can make it work somehow. That setup helped me so much before.

4 days completed. Thank God.
I’m so happy about this.
Today I did some exercise again and felt truly alive after a cold shower.
Also feeling some emotions but today was better, better conversations, better skin, noticing my eyes are a little brighter. This is motivating me. I hope to find a way to set up a good blocking system on my pc now.

Started on the right foot by water fasting. Feeling a little proud of myself. Let’s keep going. I want to exercise and then eat something again.
I have noticed this site is not as active, atleast it seems to me.
Completed 5 days now, thank God. Felt good. Did exercise again and in general more productive.

I was reading a lot about overcoming addiction and also reflecting on how I did it a couple years ago.
I need for me right now I might have to forget about sr retention all together, including counting days. And reading and researching. And just focus on good habits and on the person that I want to become.
I like this site a lot. And have met here some wonderful people. Thank you all!
Forgive me if I don’t come here.

I have had ups and downs lately.
Got myself some home gym equipment and have been training lately again so that’s good.
Also I have been reading again, I’m glad I’m on the right track with that.
I am happy that I’m making some progress in some areas of my life. There are still some areas where I’m only starting, such as this one.
Oh and I’ve realized something (in relation to my 200 day streak before): instead of looking at this as getting back. I want to look at this as rising. The 200 day is nothing, its just the beginning compared to the great ways I’m about grow now/am growing now. With God’s help, I’m changed.

Don’t compare with your 200 day streak my friend, that’s in the past and will set you up for feelings of failure or inadequacy.
Think about today and today only. Focus on what you will do today which adds to your life instead of ■■■■ that does nothing for you. You will get through day by day. I’ll be rooting for you brother

Today I felt not as energized for my workout. Maybe bc I didn’t have my usual breakfast. But I still did get in some exercise and took a walk in nature, that was good.
Something that helped me in these 3 days was limiting my access to the internet. Now though I have regular internet connetion again. But I feel confident that I’ll make to tomorrow. Tomorrow I will check in, 4th day it will be, that sounds good.
Something I have realized recently is that I need a vision. Something I care about more than short term pleasure. I remember when I was young I was asked why I’m interested in fitness and lifting. I remember answering, I like it bc it takes care of everything… your sleep, your diet… everything is in check when you focus on lifting I.e that it happens as a byproduct of this passion.
Maybe I need something that similarly takes care of my addictions naturally as a byproduct.
I think I know what (healthy) passion of mine I can reignite that can be a sort of pillar for a lifestyle that has simply no space for unhealthy habits like that. I don’t feel comfortable talking about that here (and everyone has their own, really) but I’m glad I’m able to connect some dots recently.

Yesterday, unfortunately I fell. Since I got internet access again after 3 days, before sleep. I’m disappointed as I was starting to feel good again. I did not expect that I would turn towards it again tbh. But thank God, it was only 1 time and also that I was fasting since yesterday. So I’m gonna eat in a short while and I hope the fast has had some positive impact on my mind.
Part of the issue is that I’m not finding a blocking software for my pc that works. There was one software that helped me a lot, but it crashed after an update and I’ve been trying almost daily to install it again but to no avail. I think I need to read through the windows blockers thread on the other forum to find a good setup again.
I know one that is good, but it is moreso like a site blocker where you type the site yourself.

I’m really happy as I was finally able to install this one blocking software. I tried almost everyday to fix the error that the installation would throw. Now, finally I have the software running
Additionally I will intall other software too, to make sure, there is no way to stumble upon adult content. I’m happy and optimistic that I will be able to make progress now.
