Daily check. OK day. I got tired. No problems with urges.
Check in for day 14, streak days 76
I experienced a deep disappointment in work today. A huge lack of respect and understanding for others by a boss who acts like a child dictator. If someone is like that, there is not much to do with it. What the biggest disappointment was, was the people who showed their true color now and whom I tried to trust but now they showed that they donāt have a spine and they canāt be counted on. It was a hard lesson, that when we stand up for ourself and it matters we are left alone way too often and noone stand besides us.
Thankfully after work I met a friend who raised my spirit even just by being there for me.
Ever since I arrived home Iām thinking about what Jordan Peterson said about knowing and respecting yourself.
āIf you are harmless, you are not virtuous. You are just harmless. To be virtuous you has to be a monster that donāt act monstrously. Like the hero, who has to be a monster that controls itās monstrous power and do good.ā
If you are curious:
Day 1 is here. I am focused and reminding myself how it is good on even day 3 the feeling from huge energy reserve.
Checking in
Day 6
Itās kinda tough to report daily tbhā¦ first I thought easy peasy now I can hardly keep up with othersā¦
Hey Guys, Iām not reporting daily anymore, but right now Iām after Day 37 in my streak. Iām glad weāre still in large number, and Iām happy that @dyaakov is now second among the Extraordinary Gentlemen!
Now, I have listened to the Peterson talk that @Duran shared with us and I canāt help but share certain take on itā¦ I know, as I always try to stress, that this is my own perspective, but I highly dislike that sole capability of doing cruel thing is already seen as being a monster. I have trained martial arts for a very long time in my life and I have never seen this as developing a monster in me. Sure, it allowed me to use the skills thus developed to cause harm, to be cruel, to intimidate bulliesā¦ But I havenāt judged that as being a monster. When I hear cruelty, I see attack without control, instantly. āCruelty under controlā is an empty phrase to me.
However, I will not fight if someone tells me we have a dark side, and that we should integrate it. I, myself, am quite an explosive person, and for years I have learned to keep this part of my nature on a tight leash. Nevertheless, only recently I have learned that in certain limited circumstances letting this off the leash is for the better - expression of anger without any violence following it. This, many a time, can convey a message better than just trying to argue your way through.
I have also a dark side to my sexuality I will not specify which, unfortunately, keeps my fight with PMO slightly harder. However, I refuse to kill it - it is within me and, given a proper real-life relation, may actually lead to mutual satisfaction. Here, I might want to raise this question - is any of you aware of such sides to yourself, and how do you deal with them?
Day 2 check in. Today, i focused on a small amount of dopamine detox. I didnt listen to music in the entire 4 hours i was in my work van today. Ive heard saving your dopamine is beneficial in multiple aspects of life.
Finally Day 18 successfully completed
Difficulty 4/10
The last couple of days were tough but thanks to this community I kept telling myself only few more days until I become a gentlemen
And now finally Iāve reached this goal, the next goal is 90 days. LETāS GET IT!
Thank u very much!! Daily checking btw. 22 days streak
Count me in ā¦please dear
Current Streak - 2 Days
Day 3 is here. To be honest i forgot about pmo lol like i am grandpa or something lol. But i will not get overconfident, it might give me good streak!
Daily check.
Almost becoming a gentleman. How time flies. Today I have a massive urge thatās still ongoing. However, I get random erections as well. My sexual drive is healing properly.
Hey guys, Iām still sort of checking in - but I wonāt do that the normal way.
I wanted to clarify - 18 days of checking-in means 18 days added to your streak, wherever you have started! Thus, if you report for 18 days straight, but fall in the meantime, you are back to 0 the moment you fall. However, youāre not locked out of this group - you are very welcome to seek out advice of everybody here!
Iām still waiting for suggestions about the rules that should go to the Codex of a Gentleman! You may look up first two ideas that came to my mind on the first post!
Check in for day 15?, streak days 77
I had a day with mostly good mood because even though yesterday was dissappointing, I feel I did what was up to me and stood my ground in work.
Also there is something I donāt really know how to describe. So sorry for putting it in a simple, maybe primitive way, but here it comes. Yesterday during bath I ejaculated. There was nothing involved and there was no orgasmic feeling or such afterwards and I was not jerking off. During the 76 days till that point I didnāt had a single wet dream or leaking which I already considered a bit weird and I think I was really pent up because on previous streaks I had wet dreams which I consider the way how my body getting rid of old semen. I didnāt feel like I lost energy and there is no emotional setback, nor new temptation or urges. As such I donāt consider it a relapse and wonāt reset my counter because it was not an event of pmo. However I wanted to clearly communicate it, because this is something new that never happened with me and if you think otherwise as I, than I accept if you reset my days in this challenge.
No need to reset bro. Donāt let your mind trick you into submission. You are doing great. It is just a physiological event which is a part of your rebooting process.
Day 3 check in.
Great day. ran a 5k, and had an urge that i overcame. My old mentality told me day 3 was dangerous, now its totally different after abandoning that self taught idea
