A Warrior's Diary (20 M)

31st July
Day 19
Hi :wave: . Today I want to share with you the stages of nofap. I have realised that it’s very important to know the stages of the journey we are in because it’s gonna help us understand the problems and help us fight our urges. You can’t just start the journey without knowing the path. You will be lost and in our case we might relapse.
We are in a journey where we fight ourselves so we have to prepare for the fight. If you think your not gonna get urges again your absolutely WRONG. You will get urges and when you fight your urges that’s when you can improve and get stronger. If you get urges and you relapse it’s of no use because you did not do anything to fight your urges. You were just not in a mood for few days and when urges hit you, you relapsed. Please Don’t get me wrong.
Since day 1 I did everything to stop my urges. When a thought strucks my mind even a small thought I just started walking and threw my phone away because if you think and imagine your urge gets stronger.
Below is the link for the stages of nofap.

I relapsed :sob::sob::sob::sob:
I cannot believe this. All I could do is talk big. I am sorry everyone.
I felt demotivated when I saw 6-7 people relapse yday. It was in my mind.
I did not watch porn nor any pic but I was over confident because I had better control this time otherwise I would have relapsed long back. Seeing my counter 0 is just so heartbreaking :broken_heart::broken_heart::sob:
Special thanks to @EvilMorty and @nofapstar123. They did their best to help me but I let their motivation go to waste and also my 21 days.
I don’t want to talk too much. I am ASHAMED. I will learn from this relapse.
PLEASE GUYS I NEED YOUR SUPPORT SO KEEP SUPPORTING

Happens bro, I was worrying alot about you because it’s not easy when it comes to facing urges … I myself couldn’t control myself. You were close to 30 days. Let’s make it 30 days this time… one relapse does not mean you are back to Zero. You will again feel all the benefits early. Atleast you were better than me.
Unless you get trapped in chaser effect, which I’d say the deadly effect… I will never stop supporting you all untill you reach there.
You are exhausted right now, go drink alot of water. It will help you bro!
Stay blessed.

One relapse can change your mind a little bit, but you are a warrior. You are ready to face changes

Don’t worry bro, most of us fall at some point of time that’s when we can learn to pick ourselves up. I read a quote today “Falling is not failure but staying is” simple line but if you read carefully there is so much meaning in it. I know you can come back stronger than ever :muscle: You are a warrior you can do it.

THE CYCLE WE ALL ARE TRAPPED IN

10th Sept
Day 0
Hello guys
After I have left writing this diary, I am not able to go long. I have had many relapses after my first streak in this forum that was 21 days. I think writing this diary will help me again. I am just fed up of my addiction. There are a few things I want to achieve since 2 years but because of this habit I am in the same place I was 2 years back. I am productive for 2 days and then I waste a lot of time and then again I am productive for 1 or 2 days and again the same thing happens. We all cannot have good days everyday. We will face challenges, we will have bad days, we will have urges to go back to the addiction but this is where we should force ourselves to grow.
TBH I have not grown. I am in the same place I was years back. I just know how to talk big but when it comes to work I am backing out but TODAY I HAVE DECIDED TO TALK LESS AND WORK MORE. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY YOU SEE MY COUNTER 0. YOU WILL ONLY SEE MY COUNTER GO UP.
Whenever I have urges I just relapse which is not helping me at all. It’s like going to the gym for few days and you see progress and start eating unhealthy food again. The actual success is not to have urges but rather have the urges and control them because at some point in this journey you will face urges
DISCIPLINE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Discipline leads to Consistency . Discipline helps you make the right choice for your goals today, then tomorrow, then the next day, and so you become consistent in your behavior. … Nothing will help you achieve your goals more than repeatedly doing the actions that lead to those goals
I have set small goals now to achieve a bigger goal.
I am prepared this time.

Compleating all Daily tasks I think help to stay clear becouse it shows that you have control over your life.

Day 1
Today was a very productive day for me. I woke up at 4:15 am and did all my tasks.
At around 7am I was feeling sleepy and felt like going back to sleep but I just told myself that from today I am going to be disciplined and won’t listen to the deceptive brain messages who wants me to fail. After few minutes I was fresh again and it felt like I just woke up. I am so happy that I was able to control my brain and make my day productive

Day 7
Last Thursday exactly at this time I decided that enough of this. Only once when I joined the forum I went for a 21 day streak after that I kept failing within 3 or 4 days. I was false quitting. I have been trying to quit from a long time but I failed. I heard in some videos take small steps like 5 or 7 days and keep increasing the days but I always said no I will go for 90 days or I won’t do it forever which did not work.
Then I saw @nofapstar123 and @tagore taking their small steps so last Thursday I decided and took my first small step of 7 days and trust me it was never this easy. I kept my mind focused and said just 7 days it’s gonna be easy and I completed it. I am really happy.
I increased 3 days to my goal now. I kept it so short because I know at any point now I might get strong urges so when I say just 3 days of control it will be easier for me to overcome this.
This time the journey is long :smiley:

Hi guys
It’s a long time since I posted. I am going through hell. I lost my very close companions on this forum because of my relapses. I have been talking always.
I was dependant on my willpower to break my addiction which is impossible.
I am not making any promises this time but I NEED YOUR SUPPORT GUYS PLEASE.
