"Check-in" Daily - diary challenge

Week 59 ~ Sunday

All good, thanks to God :candle:

It was an active church day.
Morning Mass. Played music in another church while they fed the homeless.
A get-together with the folk group and preparation for Christmas, followed by evening Mass.

It’s not that church makes us holy, or my service gives a lot, it’s only very little.
I get much more out of it than I give :dove:

I sang the Psalm this morning,
You came to mind @Forerunner and helped me keep me cool, and reflect on those words.

“Who shall climb the mountain of the LORD?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The clean of hands and pure of heart,
whose soul is not set on worthless things.”

Yep, sounds like @Forerunner to me :sweat_smile::pray:

As for nofap;
We have chosen a side. The better path.
Not to support ‘The Coerced’s’ downfall.

@anon67854825 Beautiful psalm today brother - a climb for us to aspire to. I’m pleased to hear my words helped today.

:100: :exclamation:

@Special_Bird I hear that man, I don’t think politics has ever been this emotionally charged. Things get ugly so quickly.

Listening to your song :smiley: Hope you get in some good sleep tonight brother.


"If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.”
Dolly Parton

As my AP told me this morning, freedom is a choice. We’re always in control of what actions we decide to take each day. No matter how strong the desire to give into lust is, no matter how stressful and trying life becomes, we can always choose our response to any urge.

We can choose a much better life for ourselves. One where we’re comfortable in our own skins again, full of confidence and healthy self-esteem, experiencing joy and connection with our loved ones, advancing in our careers, education and hobbies. A life where we have true and effective methods for dealing with stress and life’s challenges.

Let’s pave a different road.

Starting Week 60 - MonDay 1 - Dec 23
with God’s Blessings. Last two weeks have been difficult as two wetdreams made my will weaker. Two days back, I had full body massage with Mustard Oil. I massaged my prostate too (did last month too & it was good, but this time it was tingling) Before heading to Jacuzzi, a friend in sideroom started Porn on loud voice that made me uncomfortable. I washed my willy so it became flaccid but when I bathe with hot water, O’d automatically (Relapse?). It was Weird experience & certainly got on my nerves thereafter. Hard time yesterday. But now, reached Pilgrimage site & going to Temple. Hopefully, it will pass & I enter in New year with 2 clean months.
Thanks @Special_Bird bro. Stay Strong!

@Forerunner Sadly things do, but I’m hoping that at least my own social circle will be more open to reasonable discussions given time and patience. I think I just gotta listen, maybe if I just listen and don’t try to add my opinion, then my friends will see that I am not interested in an argument, just an honest discussion.

Thank you brother, glad you liked the song :slightly_smiling_face:

@Positivebloke Looking forward to seeing you back on the forums here soon brother :slightly_smiling_face:


Yikes, unproductive day today. What is the key to this productivity? I think I’m going to have to research this and do some digging on techniques. I’m totally open to any strategies you guys got!

I think it all started with my friend wanting me to bring her coffee at work because she said she was having a bad day. So I thought I would turn it into a more productive trip by walking my dog and checking out the location of my classes at the local college for next quarter, but of course this was not my original plan for the day. Then my cousin wanted to meet me at the store for food so we did that cause I was hungry anyway. When I got home, it was later in the day, but I couldn’t think and so I decided to just play some games, which I haven’t done in awhile, but come on, I’m supposed to be getting prepared for next semester. Then my mom and sis wanted to watch this show with me and so they nagged me into watching it, but it ended up being a really good horror show so we watched like 3 episodes and now it’s 1 am.

I think my problem is my family and friends, I love them and I like spending time with them, but I have to prioritize my own time. I can’t get swayed over here and over there. I have to sit down and work. Even if it’s much less preferable. I have to stop telling myself the excuse of “family time is important” because yes it is, but legit all I have been doing this break is spending time with family and friends.

I’m going to look more into this though. The app Good Time was working, but not so lately because I got off track. I need solid plans and multiple strategies, just like with this addiction.

The good thing is though that I was going to sleep in again, but I said no, I am waking up early as I said I would. I told myself I can only sleep in on days I cant control when I get to bed, as yesterday was because I didn’t have much of a choice. Tonight I chose to watch more episodes, so it’s early to rise.

And as @Adioz wrote in his recent post which I highly recommend reading, https://rewirecompanion.com/t/life-changing-habit-of-adioz/18301

When we complain we became the victim, when we become the victim, We don’t get what we want in life we get more of what we don’t want

I have to look at my life and be grateful and appreciative. If I start the day cursing it, then it will surely be cursed.

Instead, I must look at how much time I have been given, realize that that is quite amazing, and ask myself, “How can I maximize the time I have today to reach my overarching goals?” “What are my overarching goals?”

I will write these things tomorrow when I wake up. I am making a schedule for tomorrow now.

Anyway, I better get to bed guys, so goodnight.

This is my streak, I am going to make it.

After going to church for two days, I stand again. I could feel the presence of God and his grace covering my mistake.

I fight again, but this time I want to be alert. I thought that if I didn’t care, it was going to be easier but I understood that the less importance I give it, the more sensitive I am to fall.
Today I am going to win this war, I hope you see me more often by this forum.
So I start another account: Saturday and Sunday check in👍

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

@rowdy_nik Unpleasant experience brother. Sounds more like an involuntary ejaculation, not a relapse. 2 clean months for the new year is a beautiful thing! Keep going!

@Special_Bird Yeah, I’ve struggled with productivity a lot myself recently. Setting a schedule is one thing that’s really helped me; that’s a good idea to try out. Good to see you’re looking to do that.

Yes bro!

Good lesson learned. We try to numb ourselves to the pain of relapsing and say it’s not a big deal, but then we become prone to regular relapses.


"Unfortunately, many people make the choice to accept a bad situation and go on living with the frustration, conflict, and pain that make life more of a burden than a celebration. The reason people make such a choice is because inaction is much easier than taking action.

“In effect, the choice they make through their inaction is to avoid the relatively mild, short-term pain that comes with self-discipline in exchange for a lifetime of dull, chronic pain and regret. That’s too bad, because the wisest long-term choice you can make is to take positive, rational action every day of your life.”
