Remember Brother God is watching you. Don’t give up, you are what God made you to be.
Numbers 32:23 (KJV) But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

Day 1
I failed yesterday so I must adapt. A while ago I took this journey more seriously and decided to never fall the exact same way twice if I can help it. If I fall, it means something has to change. From now on, unless there is someone in the room with me, I’m not allowed on YouTube.

I wish to better understand the world and those around me. I need to educate myself. While I am a Christian I decided that I’m going to read the Quran. I will try my best to keep my basis aside and simply try and learn with an open mind.

Day 3
Fighters Friday!
last week I wanted to become a nose breather as well as fix my posture. I’m weak and honestly that alone was too much for me. So I switched and really started focusing on just nose breathing. I have to undo an entire lifetime of my breathing which is not easy. It sounds strange and maybe even unhealthy but I have been taping my mouth shut every night and I have seen massive change in just 1 week. Normally I snore and I also have sleep apnea (very irregular breathing, stop for long periods of time followed by gasping for air. All in my sleep) my wife complains about it and says it sounds like I’m dying in my sleep lol. Anyways, when I tape my mouth, I don’t snore. I also don’t breath as fast but have very controlled, calm and smooth breathing. It is a night and day difference in sleep quality! I feel amazing and soooo alert during the day.
I still mouth breath most of the time during the day unless I’m actively thinking about it. I’m hoping while breathing with my nose at night in a state of rest, it will rewire my brain. It seems to be working so I will continue my 2nd week on focused nose breathing.

What language are you thinking of learning?
3 Likes
To be honest I’m not sure yet lol. I just want to learn one. Like most Americans I only speak english. I want to be more educated. I was thinking maybe Russian or Arabic. What are your thoughts? Maybe I will put it to a vote lol

It’s a big question, and I guess it depends what you’re interested in
I can speak arabic but am not arab, so I know it’s doable. My motivation was religion though so it depends on the why i guess
If you are interested in religion, i think i remember you saying something about mastering apologetics, then maybe some ancient greek or even latin. I dabble in ancient greek for the philosophy (not that I am very good)
Even french and german are good for philosophy because of all the enlightenment writers from the continent and not a huge jump from english. There’s some books for learninh french through basic philosophy if it’s something you’re interested in.
So I guess what I’m saying is for me, when I found a reason to learn the language it made it more fun and kept me motivated. Try to find a nice why and I’m sure you’d be able to learn any

Day 4
So far, my journey has been fuelled by many things but the biggest was probably self hatred and guilt. While yes I have sinned and failed in many ways. I need to realize that God still loves me. He never left me. I left Him. I turned my back on Him while He was there with open arms. God is merciful.
I think I need a mindset change. I’m a child of God. I respect and honor Him by respecting myself. I must become the best I can be. An ambassador for the Lord. I need to stop avoiding things because they are bad and instead love God because He is good. I need to think of someone that I would truly respect and admire. Instead of acting rashly I need to decided how to act according to self respect. How to change my mind into this role model. Act in such a way, that over time I achieve all of their good qualities. I will pray and ask God to guide and find my role model.

My role model is Jesus Christ. I know that I can’t be Him but I can respect and admire His ways. He was sent to earth to show us the way. From the earth to the cross my debt to pay. From the cross to the grave. From the grave to the sky, Lord I lift your name on high. So there is only one question that all of us should ask ourselves every day, “What Would Jesus Do?” He wouldn’t act the way we act today. He wouldn’t be like us because Jesus is perfect. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father except through me.” So when the going gets tough just ask yourself one simple question “What Would Jesus Do?”

Day 5
I’m feeling really good and well rested. Had some urges yesterday but nothing I could not handle with God. My motivation is back!!
Though Jesus is the most perfect role model and I should strive to follow in his footsteps, I’m going to use his foster father st. Joseph for my role model in this journey. As a husband and father I feel like I can relate and connect with him more. He is a man of very few words in scripture. He is the perfect servant of the lord. A quiet man of action.
He has many different titles but these are some of my favorites and some I would like to emulate.
Model of workmen, pillar of families, zealous defender of Christ, Joseph most pure, mirror of patience, Joseph most obedient and my personal favorite The Terror of demons.

Day 7
I’m glad to be back to a week! It feels like I got knocked down but now I wiped the blood from my mouth and I’m back on my feet. All the wiser for it. I understand that this is a journey. It takes consistency and strategy. Simply wanting freedom isn’t going to be enough.
If God is with me, nothing can stand against me.

I’m sorry to everyone and God but I have failed again. I was lazy and didn’t get up right away when my alarm went off. It triggered a series of low will power and mood which led me to briefly look at p. It was for a couple minutes and I didn’t masturbate but I believe that I am a child of God and have been called for greatness. I am aiming for perfection so I am resetting my streak. God willing I will succeed.

Don’t feel too bad man. I just finished reading through your journals and u have incredible will power. I’m on day 3 and have been dealing with this situation for 7 years. I am currently 19 now and your story has motivated me to wanting to push to your limits. I hope we both achieve beyond 30 days and conquer this challenge together. We are meant for better things and the devil knows this fact. To God be the glory my brother, stay strong for us, your family, and God.
