Check in day 1
Hey bro how you doing ?
I did nothing productive today except reading a book while my phone was plugged in charge . Old habits are like the long roots of a tree, really hard to remove. Anyways I will try my level best to don’t pmo tonight.
Not a great day for me either . Just managed to read some book and play guitar . Exercising right now so that I don’t miss the day . Woke up late and slept some in afternoon too cause of too much drowsiness , things are tiring and hell for me 2 -3 days after repeated relapses . I’ll push through it though .
Exercising now , will read and write more and possibly meditate before sleep .
Lets do better tomorrow
Remembering the beginning , my biggest why was " gaining freedom" , it started when I got my eyes opened after 1 year of addiction back in 2021 . I was still 13 back then but I could see what the reality of this addiction was and I had immense commitment to be free from this shit and be the best version of myself like before and with that commitment + the happiness of being free , I succeed many times in beating this addiction .
Although , the problem was that I was still immature and mostly alone so I had no one to look at what was going inside my head and my ways of thinking changed . I started relating nofap to my life once I got benefits from it , and when I relapsed faced issues due to , I used to get scared that I won’t be able to be the same . Most part of this insecurity was my studies , although I was already decent at it , I mistook clarity for magical benefits relating everything to nofap . So it was a trap I set for myself . By 10th , the only reason I didn’t pmo was fear of lagging in studies . I also faced some issues for a long time in 10th , immense brain fog and lack of drive , lost significant confidence and this went on for months without telling anyone . Once boards ended I went for jee prep hoardingly without knowing much about what I wanted to do . Lack of goal and already lacking confidence restarted this loop . Relapsing , feeling guilty , relapsing more to wear out the feeling . So 2 years were fuck up and to be honest , for all that time I had no “why” to do it , I just did it because I didn’t want to be an addict and do good in studies . From last year things are different though , I got vastly mature about this part and moved on quite a bit , more since the beginning of this year . Now its just that I face damage of my old habits and mindset(I was cooked asf , multiple mental issues ) and I keep forgetting my ideals and as soon as I lose clarity , it still gets me . So I have to work hard to keep myself clear and conscious now . Pmo feels a different part of me just residing somewhere , bringing lust and fantasies but when Im in my senses , living life doing work and happy , all of me hates it and doesn’t identify as someone who gets pleasure from it . I just want freedom from that part and the key is being clear , working for better things in life and staying happy . Loneliness was also a big issue but since Im going college soon it won’t be so and it will be the end of it .
I took me a lot of time and reality checks to learn to face the truth . I wish I learnt earlier so I didn’t waste precious time but what’s gone is gone now .
Everything is going fine brother, and yeah you can join. But try to give your 100% because this thread is not for motivation, it’s about reaching 28 days. Give update daily.
I used to play in 2020 - 21 then I got busy in studies and stopped playing and I used to sing since I was a kid . It was rather dark time and I lost connection with music too which I regret the most . Restarted playing and singing only now after a long time . Though I could have learnt making music and written some songs if I didn’t lose touch but not anything as of now .
Its all about how it makes you feel . When my mind is messed up only music helps to silent it . If it doesn’t come from the heart , its not music .
You can get anyone to play or sing by they won’t understand the most important thing
