:paw_prints: Check in for day 14, streak days 76 :tophat:

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 donā€™t have a spine and they canā€™t 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 Iā€™m thinking about what Jordan Peterson said about knowing and respecting yourself.
ā€œIf you are harmless, you are not virtuous. You are just harmless. To be virtuous you has to be a monster that donā€™t act monstrously. Like the hero, who has to be a monster that controls itā€™s monstrous power and do good.ā€

Hey Guys, Iā€™m not reporting daily anymore, but right now Iā€™m after Day 37 in my streak. Iā€™m glad weā€™re still in large number, and Iā€™m 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 canā€™t 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 havenā€™t judged that as being a monster. When I hear cruelty, I see attack without control, instantly. ā€œCruelty 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?

Daily check.

Almost becoming a gentleman. How time flies. Today I have a massive urge thatā€™s still ongoing. However, I get random erections as well. My sexual drive is healing properly.

Hey guys, Iā€™m still sort of checking in - but I wonā€™t 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, youā€™re not locked out of this group - you are very welcome to seek out advice of everybody here!

Iā€™m 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!

:paw_prints: Check in for day 15?, streak days 77 :tophat:

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 donā€™t 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 didnā€™t 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 didnā€™t feel like I lost energy and there is no emotional setback, nor new temptation or urges. As such I donā€™t consider it a relapse and wonā€™t 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. Donā€™t 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.
