Week 21 - Dec 19, Thurs (Checking in for Wed, as well) - Streak: 116 days

Good day today. Went for another jiu-jitsu class and also tried the boxing they provide as it is an MMA gym. Seriously legit place. Wasn’t sure I was going to do their boxing beforehand, but now I’m definitely doing it along side jiu-jitsu and quitting Krav Maga too. Krav is so commercialized and surface level but I hadnt found a good boxing alternative to it until now. Very happy about that, left feeling tired, refreshed, and having learned quite a bit already.

Not much in the way of productivity today, but I have solidified a new plan. I was trying too many things all at once. Winter break isn’t that long. I need to use my time wisely and focus on the important things rather than doing several things where I don’t get anywhere. I want to learn some new software for my side hobbies but that’s better left for the summer. I need to focus on learning Java and calculus only, this break, and that way I may have more time during the semester to work on my other hobbies.

I want to be prepared for this semester and not have another hellish one like this last one.

Going for a run with my cousin tomorrow to help him think some important decisions over so that’s kinda gonna get my day started, then it’s work work work hopefully.

Better get to bed then and get good sleep. Night guys🌙

There is no losing in jiu jitsu. You either win or you learn.

@anon67854825 :pray:
@Special_Bird Good work in re-evaluating those priority tasks; I need to do the same for outstanding work before this year closes.
@Positivebloke Best of success in your Pharma Paper bro! We’ll see you soon, looking forward to it!


Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming, and all of your excuses have NEVER gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!
Steve Maraboli

We have to be determined to change our lives. We must see ourselves as valuable enough to work on and develop. We can’t keep making excuses for destroying ourselves.

We complain all the time about strong urges, stressful circumstances, being home alone, being single, being lonely and so on. There’s never a good reason to relapse. We’re always stronger than any urge, and going back to pornography will never fulfill the emotional needs we’re are trying to meet.

We have to decide that nothing in this life is dark enough to make us go back, and believe it. No illness or tragedy, no failure, no emotion. We experience true stress relief when we have positive activities to bolster our moods, and we are always better at dealing with our problems when we’re sober.

@Jicarg How you been doing bro? Saw you relapsed and haven’t heard from you in awhile on the challenge. Hope you are well other than that. Would be good to see you on here again :slightly_smiling_face:

@rowdy_nik See you soon dude, have fun and stay strong yourself :muscle::slightly_smiling_face:

It truly is brother :gem:


As for me,

Not much done today. Met with cousin and helped him work through girl stuff. Reminds me that I need to talk to his little brother about noFap. I’m thinking this summer when I can talk to him one on one.

Trying to reach out to old friend who helped me work through this back in the day. Don’t know why he is avoiding me, maybe it’s because I left the church? Not sure. But I would really like to show him some of my improvement and maybe give him some of my strategies, see how he is doing.

Getting to bed on time tonight! So I’m going to bed right now. Goodnight.

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

Day 3. Check in.
I found the song “Remember the name”
its lyrics🔥
“This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name”

Thank you for your interest @Special_Bird, it’s a very valuable detail.
On November 10 I lost my 53 day streak and since then, I can’t spend a clean week.:cry:

In one of the last relapses, I took a clamp and cut the Internet cable from my house (I live alone). Then I arrived at 10 days But the cell phone connected to another WiFi and I was overcome by the thoughts of my mind to look for some videos or images on Instagram. Although it is not P, nor M, (I do not touch myself), I get to edging and restart my streak. I already deconfigured that wifi signal, so I only have the limited 4g of my cell phone. I hope it does not lead me to fall again.

The truth that I am At a point I can no longer stand. But I have to keep fighting. And I know that God is going to make me strong.
I have hopes for a clean 2020, but on the other hand, I hear a voice that tells me that I am a disaster, that I will not achieve anything and that I will lose what little I have.
I write this message with tears in my eyes, because I find it very difficult to continue, but I have no other way. I will win, I don’t know when, but one day I will win.:sob:

@anon67854825 Thank you for your comments bro :pray:t5: May GOD be Glorified!
@HappySoul You’ve come back strong, my friend!
@Jicarg :cry: You can do this brother! You’re not a disaster. You’ve gone 53 days, how did you accomplish it? You can do it again and BETTER this time!


“Making a decision usually means taking one of two roads. One is doing the right thing. To take the other road, you have to sit back and spin a story around the decision or action you are taking. If you find yourself thinking up an elaborate justification for what you are doing, you are not doing the right thing.”
Wayne Sales

We never need an excuse to do the right thing. But we need so many excuses for PMO.

It’s time to understand why we make those excuses for something we’re desperately trying to quit, and resolve to be fully honest with ourselves.
