Soo, today was filled more with urges than any other day… To be honest here, today was when I considered, although briefly, that I should relapse now, it has been more than enough time for me to relapse :neutral_face:
But thank God I did not ,instead I watched two extra episodes of my favourite tv show and I quickly the urges stopped :tada:
I was smilling today, mainly because I’ve never come this far without a lot of difficulty and now here I am trying to beat this, trying to go 63 days NO PMO, it’s just surreal… :smiley:
Well, that was for today, I guess I’ll come back tomorrow :blush:

Sooo, today was a rough day. I knew it would bogey tough and I wanted to believe it but deep down I kind of hoped that it would not get tougher, and that I would fly by and reach day 63… But it has been tougher :expressionless:.
It started with some innocent reading of a few soft sort of sexual material in murder mystery novel that I was reading in the evening, it contained nothing literal as sexual, it just had an outline of what the characters were experiencing, their feelings at the act. I knew this day would come so I had ways I would avoid reading it and I did act on it… I read the first line of the paragraph and skipped the rest :sweat_smile:
Then after that nothing serious happened, just a few fantasies that I controlled.
The main event came when I woke up after a nap, man I had the craziest urges, and for 5 minutes straight, I battled in my mind if I should just give up nofap and relieve the tension for the past 9 days, but a little voice in me told me that no, it didn’t feel right to do that. I battled in mind long enough to see the time and realized that I had wasted time and should get back to studying ,which I did (sort of :joy:) and suddenly the urges were gone! I beat them this time, woooohooooo!
But I should be carefull, I was caught offguard and that should not happen again…
Well that is it for today, I’ll check in again tomorrow, I hope I have my streak intact by then :blush::v:

Yayyyyyy, I reached day 10!
It was so cold today that I had no urges at all, I do remember that I had a bonner for atleast 15 minutes, and it occurred randomly while I was walking :expressionless::joy:
It hasn’t been that tough, as I had imagined but I am starting to feel the withdrawal effects of NOPMO, I experienced one last night, namely insomnia. This is going to start to increase and I need to be prepared, I want to be able to go ahead without surprise attacks (which are to increase as my streak does) I just hope I can power through the tough days, sending :heart: to all the persons struggling right now, may God be with you :blush:

So today was easier than yesterday, I must admit that I thought by now I would have be having so many urges that I would have fapped like crazy but so far, I have had little urges, and I easily stopped them. Although I have recognized that I get urges right after my afternoon nap and I have found one way in which I can help myself and that is, I have downloaded a much loved childhood game of mine called pinball, and I plan to play that in those times such as the afternoon, so that I can keep myself busy and hopefully the urges will pass :blush:
And I guess that is for today, i’ll be back tomorrow, and with one more day under my belt :heart:

Damnnnnnnnnn I broke my own record! :grin::grin:
I’m so happy I reached this far but I know I have not reached my goal yet, it’s a big goal and I get excited every time I think of the day I will see 63 days written on the counter :smiley:
Today was not at all difficult, I had a little bit of fantasy problem, I went astray two times, but I slapped myself and quickly came back to reality :joy: .
Nothing much happened after that, I did not fall asleep in the afternoon, so no urges there, I have completed 16 scenarios of what can go wrong, and I have prepared a solution to every one of them, and I hope I don’t relapse and use those situations as steps towards my growth as a person. I wish myself luck! Buh bye now, will be back tomorrow! :blush:

So today was not at all that bad, I had some urges in the morning, when I was about to wake up, but I fought those urges and I went to work /studying :grin:
It was all a little bit easy for me, this day, they were no major urges, no fantasies, no nothing. Infact I noticed that I was calmer and did not get angry easily and had the courage to finally speak my mind on the behaviours of some of the people that I know… :smiley:
So I guess that is a plus point to nofap, anddddd that’s it for today, I’ll be back tomorrow and I wish for it to be day 14 :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
(ps I think I maybe getting one withdrawal effect of NOPMO and that is drying of my skin to the point of me getting constant urges to scratch like my life depends on it :weary:)

Nothing major to report today, although I do remember having mild urges in the morning and I did not act on them and for that I am proud :grin:. it has only been 2 weeks and I feel as if it has been a year lol
I guess that’s it for today, see you tomorrow!

One more day gone! Although I must confess that I feel no different than yesterday… Aside from the fact that I am a little sick, an allergic reaction :tired_face:
I used to relapse on occasions like these but this time I told myself that no matter what happens, you’ll ride out The sickness but you won’t give up on your goal, you won’t relapse, and it seems to be working. I have realised today that I am an addict for life, because of the way this addiction has changed our minds. Which means that no amount of days can make me a great human being, but if I work on myself and my relationships, then I have a chance and changing myself and my life. I also confess that I’m doing this, just to prove to myself that I can, it is because I am unable to control myself in this one area of my life and I told myself that either I would end up succeeding in this war, or I’ll die… Since I don’t want to die, I better succeed :heart:

Well, there is really nothing new to report today… It was not really a difficult day, although I did have some difficulty in trying to get sleep last night at 3:06 am. :tired_face:
I felt a little lack of wanting social relationships today, but I guess that is normal, atleast I’m not getting urges :rofl:
I guess that is it for today, I’ll be back tomorrow! :blush:

Soooooo today was a bad day… In the sense that I had a lousy day. I was bored, I was studying but after I had done my studying, and was on a break, I made myself promise me that I would not watch tv shows from now on unless it was a NOPMO emergency so I couldn’t watch them, and pretty much anything else had lost it’s appeal. But alas! I have give through it and now I am happier :upside_down_face:. I did have some trouble sleeping yesterday night, I woke up at 3:45am and couldn’t sleep for like 30 mins, and then I slept…suddenly :joy:
The amazing thing is, I am sleeping a little less than I was at arround day 1 but I am refreshed and feel better when I wake up in the morning :smiley:. I have also noticed that my smile has become more lively, I enjoyed looking at myself smile :blush: yayyyyyyy!
Anyways, that is for today, I guess I’ll be back tomorrow… See you then!

Yahooooooo! I can’t believe I have surpassed myself so far. Day 18?! What the holy fuckkkkkkkkkkkk :grin:. Pardon my language…
Anyways, today was a good enough day, I have had experienced no urges at all and there have been no episodes in which I had caught myself fantasizing. Although there was this one time today on Fb, I was watching a video of a trailer for a movie and there was this scene which was a bit vulgar, but it was for just a second so I didn’t have much problem with it… After I slipped the video because of it, I wanted to go back to so bad My God! But I didn’t, I told myself that, this is what my addict sub personality wants, one last scene. I went to other videos and it was a save! :innocent:
I just hope the journey ahead makes me grow, for in growth is strength, andddd that’s it for today, I’ll be back tomorrow, good luck to us all! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sooo today was a not so good day… Yesterday night was awefull, I was in the bad dear of moods and my mom was making things worse, plus I have had the flu and it was so annoying and I was also very hungry… So I have myself a treat, I are alot of food, slept for one hour straight afterwards, then got up, studied, and then slept again. Plus I also got to know that my maternal grandmother would visit us and when she does I can’t enjoy ice creams or cold drinks in this cold weather in my country right now cause she wouldn’t allow me because of her love for me and the fact that I have the flu just made things worse…
But I told myself that this is what life would be like for 5 more days so I gotta suck it up and act like an adult that I am :sweat_smile::pleading_face:. Anyways, in the other news, I noticed that I was leaking semen from my Johnson, when I went for a pee and I was so happy, plus I realized today that my smile was more vabriante today than it has been in years :grin:.
I hope that I can go on like this, I mean be happy and deal with life issues without the use of porn, stay blessed, whomsoever reads this and good luck to me! :joy::stuck_out_tongue:

Soooo today was a good day, I had so much chunk food today. I think I’m high on it! :rofl:
Lol jk!! However, I am so happy for being here, for day 20 :partying_face:. I have also learned that my smile is no more vibrant than it was 20 days ago… :frowning:
On another news, my father told me a story about how when he was young, it was rumoured that a doctor in his village once had a patient come in, who bolted the door and then proceeded to take off her clothes, so that the doctor could “examine” her. My God I was turned on by this! :flushed: I kept imagining how her chest would have looked like , oh God! I knew I would relapse if I thought about it more… So I did what I had planned and distracted myself, for a few hours.
Phew! That was so close! I am gratefull that I came out okay, thank God!
Anddd that’s it for today… I’ll be back tomorrow with more :blush:

So today was a little not so good than yesterday… My parents have been home and since they got their winter break from work, they’ve destroyed my schedule of the day, not to disrespect them in any way, but I do have to care for them and that means sacrificing my schedule for them and that sometimes irritates me which predisposes me to relapses . Anyways, I also happen to have urges today, when I woke up in the afternoon and for atleast 30 seconds I thought I was going to relapse there and then, but I fought the urge and just like it had come (suddenly) it went away :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
In another news, I thought that I should grow personally since I am on this journey and without growth there is no point in doing what I am… So from today, at night time, I will write about three things that I am grateful for, everyday :blush:. May God help us all reach our goals…
See you tomorrow! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
