Thank you my friend! I intend to!

Step by step, I will make my way forward. As I near my highest streak, itā€™s important to avoid overconfidence. With GODā€™s Help I will continue on this path.

Thank GOD for another day!

Uncompleted projects have started to catch up with me. There was so much time wasted on PMO and not focused on my future and building success. Each relapse is robbing from oneā€™s future self. But thank GOD, I am still here and I have the chance to turn things around for myself.

Always thank GOD for everything.

Thank GOD for another day!

Iā€™ve been feeling stressed due to all the uncompleted projects that are demanding results now. The podcast I joined a friend on in January this year, the fledgling cleaning company Iā€™ve started, the dropshipping project Iā€™ve kept putting offā€¦As itā€™s Friday today, the stress and anxiety really hit me, since the week is over and thereā€™s so much left undone.

Guess what we used to do when we felt stressed, anxiety or discomfort of any kindā€¦

PMO. PMO was always the answer.

But thank GOD, we donā€™t do that anymore!

I embrace the feeling of discomfort that accompanies positive change. This stress means that Iā€™m actually expanding my comfort zone to include my vision of myself as successful in life and in being PMO free. It means that this new me genuinely cares about accomplishing meaningful goals and getting things done. Itā€™s a marker on my journey that indicates Iā€™m not the same person I was before.

Always thank GOD for everything.

Thank GOD for another day!

Itā€™s early days, but I can feel my natural mood levels are much higher. Iā€™m generally happier than Iā€™ve been in years. With my new self-image, Iā€™m no longer getting in my own way and sabotaging my feelings of joy. The new me deserves to feel good.

Even on my highest streak, I experienced feelings of improved happiness, but they were different to this. They were a consequence of the habits I was undertaking, like fasting daily and healthy eating, running and exercising 6 days a week, dopamine starvation like quitting social media and listening to songs etc. In that state, I made huge progress, more than Iā€™ve ever done before, but those habits werenā€™t a result of happy decision-making, but rather a form of punishment for constant relapsing. It wasnā€™t a healthy or loving foundation. Every single task had to be carried out. I put myself in a prison cell. One day I would forget to floss and feel like I relapsed. I want to establish those positive habits now, but from a different place, a place of loving myself enough to want better spiritual, physical and mental health, better relationships, peace of mind, wealth and success for myself.

Iā€™m reflecting on this as I missed my exercises yesterday. Before, that would have been enough to completely derail my progress. Now, with a good attitude of self respect, I can look at the situation and tell myself, You had every intention of completing your exercises, but yesterday was very busy. You had work, things happened with your family and your friends and you were there for them. Thatā€™s great! You had your Power over Pornography course session which is an absolute must-do task to accomplish. And you completed that! Monday is a new day. Learn from this and complete your exercises before the afternoon comes around. You are doing great, man. You already can see some definition in your abs. Itā€™s working! Keep it up!

Always thank GOD for everything.

@Sahas In this current age of widespread suffering, we would be wise to look back at the wise sayings of the ancients for guidance. Thank you for sharing brother!

Thank GOD for another day!

By chance, I met an old friend today who I hadnā€™t seen in over a year. It was great to catch up with her; we spent hours talking and laughing together.

She kept saying, Iā€™m so glad to see that youā€™re happy, you used to be so miserable all the time. You need to stay like this! Whatever it is youā€™re doing, keep doing it!

One key thing she told me stood out; GOD could take us back home at any moment, so we have to do our best to live our lives to the fullest extent and watch our daily actions. No one wants to die miserable and depressed and with tons of regrets. And certainly not having relapsed a few hours prior. She told me how this mentality helped her just pack her things and take a trip to China! Wow! Thatā€™s something that people do in movies - not reality! But when youā€™re living in that frame of mind, you are truly living your movie. Iā€™m definitely learning from her!

Always thank GOD for everything!

Thank GOD for another day!

Monday. Another week! My exercises were completed in good time today, no dragging them out till 11pm. Iā€™ve gotten some tasks done towards my goals.

My friend messaged me yesterday to say he unintentionally came across P on Twitter, and ended up staying for about 60-90 seconds before closing the page. That was enough for him to feel broken and weak, even though he regained his senses and his hands didnā€™t go down there. P is so extremely damaging; immoral, rotting our self-esteem and destroying joy in our lives. We have to remember this every day and call it to mind when we are tempted. Thereā€™s nothing for us back there!

Always thank GOD for everything!

Hello urges, my old friend. Itā€™s been a while.

The urges came back to me again today. They can tell my streak is getting higher and higher with GODā€™s Help. They can feel the loss of control. The repair of my self-esteem, the return of joy and the fire of life. They want me to remain in darkness with them.

Scene after scene of my ex-favorite P videos rushing through my head. Curiosity on what new P video so-and-so has released recently.

I will be clean. I will continue on this path. I will die before I break my streak, so help me GOD.

Four urge attacks came for me today and I defeated them in the same way, saying this from my Power over Pornography course:

I seek refuge in GOD from Satan the accursed. In the Name of GOD, the Most Gracious Spirit, the Most Merciful.

  1. I want to view and do, and thatā€™s okay. (View and do is a euphemism for view pornography and masturbate.)
  2. Temptations come to everyone. I do not need to feel ashamed or guilty for this. It is my actions which count and make one good or evil.
  3. I am always free to choose. My choice is for this time only. I am free to choose differently the next time.
  4. When I choose, I choose my vision and positive consequences, not just action.
  5. I choose to live a loving life (a loving life is a positive way of saying PMO-free) where, with reverence and honor, I joyously glorify GOD as I advance daily and achieve my goals in health, wealth, love and happiness. I feel deep love for GOD, myself and those around me, and I boldly express this love with enthusiasm, laughter, vitality and presence with my family and friends. With peace of mind and clarity, I become the man Iā€™ve always wanted to be, by GODā€™s Grace.

The urges died before I even finished saying these sentences, each time. The power of a positive vision has greater pull than the dark, false invitations of PMO.

No relapse is ever worth it. Forget curiosity. Forget those old videos. Forget the arousal.

Day 40 by the Grace of the Most High. I continue to fight another day.

Thank GOD for another day!

I was reflecting on the problems Iā€™m experiencing right now compared to May two months ago.

Problems like getting tasks accomplished daily towards my goals, waking up in good time ( thanks to @anon67854825, Iā€™ve realized that sleeping in does me no favours), completing my exercises, eating healthily and spending quality time with family and friends.

In May, I was depressed, hiding away from the world, drowning in debt with -Ā£998 in my bank account, I was sneaking to the store at night to eat cakes and icecream as a reward/pick-me-up after constant relapses, and my goals were nowhere in sight.

Iā€™ll take these so-called problems any day!

Iā€™ve seen a number of my companions relapse recently; it saddened me quite a bit. One had over 295 days on his counter! :disappointed_relieved::pensive: I pray we can all leave this behind so we live the free and fulfilling lives we deserve.

Always thank GOD for everything.

Day 40.
