[NeverGiveup420] Wake up, Do your Best, Rest, Repeat- All praises are for Allah Almighty

I really appreciate the analogy of urges being compared to mosquitoes. Stay still and the mosquito will inevitably bite you, but an active individual who constantly moves will not be bitten because the mosquito will not be able to settle down.

Likewise, a sedentary passive individual without action and commitment is a prey for urges, but when he finds purpose, maintains a schedule, exercises daily and steadily improves his life, the urges automatically disappear.

check in day 70

Ive decided to take a break from this app. Feel like all these days and numbers are diverting my attention. I want to forget the number of days and just focus on each day at a time.
Take care. Stay strong. And never ever doubt yourself.

check in Day 90 :grinning:

Ive reached 90 days. Its a milestone. Not a destination. Last time i relapsed at day 101. So i know i should be on guard. Day 90 to 120 really test you.
But im more focused on the single day itself.
Best thing that helped is avoiding triggers and staying busy. Recently ive started listening to an amazing podcast named “Overcome pornography for good with Sara Brewer”. I really recommend it.

I peeked. Im resetting my streak.

Looks like the problem still remains in me that caused me to peek. Deep down, i chose pleasure over happiness. I need to work on my mindset.
I didnt watch movies nor played games but searched something on the browser out of curiosity. My defences got weak over time.

Im resetting my streak to remind myself that peeking is not okay and peek=relapse. Resetting will also avoid a full relapse.

Congratulations on an incredible streak, my friend !

I honour your straightforwardness and honesty. Many would not consider a relapse simply by peeking, rather by letting it all out. It was a smart decision on your part to stop yourself from going full course, and it will facilitate greater motivation to beat your record.

Most importantly, this conveys discipline and understanding. You have strengthened your self-control and have set strict boundaries. Make no mistake,in time you are going to beat this monster and put it in its place permanently.

Once again, try to be careful in these initial periods. Really looking forward to you getting over this permanently and inspiring us all.

I may be the biggest LOSER. But i am not a QUITTER. And thats what makes me a WINNER

So after peeking and resetting a 90 days streak, ive realised something.
Im always running away from the PMO problem. Ive been avoiding triggers to the extent that my life has become miserable with no fun. And this severe dopamine deficiency makes me compel to PMO more.
So after seeing the results of the poll i conducted in LAST MAN STANDING CHALLENGE 2022, Im changing my strategy.

  1. I won’t do a Dopamine Detox. Instead. Ill do Dopamine Discpline.
  2. I will also start counting urges instead of only days and see my progress in terms of urges conqured.
  3. I will say ‘I have a lot of energy today’’ instead of saying 'Im horny today’
  4. I will make a habit of guarding my eyes too.
  5. I will occasionally watch movies etc but after checking their rating to avoid movies with nude scenes. I will also allow myself to play games an hour or so everyday.

By embracing triggers instead of avoiding them, i will be challenged and forced to face the problem. Ill fight head on and develop skills that will allow me to control thoughts and actions.

I just hope im not fooling myself.

Lets see. Ive tried avoiding triggers for 11 years, lets try this strategy too.

It’s best if you train for this. Because that’s what real life is like and that’s how it should be, you can’t just keep running away from triggers. Though that doesn’t mean you can go searching for triggers :sweat_smile:, never ever intentionally search for them, do your best to avoid them but don’t go over a limit for that, do what you like and if you come across some triggers practice how to get a hold of yourself in that situation.

@The_integrous_one wise words my friend… Thanks for the validation of my new method. I really needed support. Ill try my best.

Good idea, brother. You can try this new strategy, but always maintain vigilance. You are right, the urges are the real problem. Infact, you ought to change those urges into something positive. Have the urge to work hard, help your family, serve your god and be a better person than engaging in mindless pleasure. Your experience will tell if this method works.

Best of Luck !
