I slipped again
Reason was fantasizing. I couldnā€™t control my thoughts and kept thinking about pmo which led me to relapse.
Starting again , This time I will try to control my thoughts and divert them to my studies.

I have around 7 months now for my exams , I can still do pretty well.
After forgetting all the past mistakes, I am starting again. Slowly but surely!

I found this in my old toy box. Back in around 5th grade when everyone had a dream of becoming a pilot or astronaut. I remember my brother brought me this, that these are the criteria you need for becoming a pilot. And I kept it safely in hoping that I will need it one day.

Failed again
The scary thing is that I have got used to, with these failures. Itā€™s been more than 3 years for me trying to get out from this trap but I keep failing everytime.
But I canā€™t give up on this, I will stand again.

I have been failing to quit PMO for 10 years. I gave up trying after first few years of realising it is bad for me because it was so hard. Big mistake. Had I kept on fighting the addiction, I wouldā€™ve gotten rid of it by now. But Iā€™m back now and I finally feel like I have a grip over things. Iā€™m still not there but Iā€™m damn sure that Iā€™m on the right path. Just donā€™t quit bro. Itā€™s a long process but youā€™ll get there eventually.

My life is absolute rollercoaster of emotions. Someday I feel hopeless and depressed, other days I see myself fully motivated and building great plans. I am fully prepared for rest of the march, I want these days to be worth remembering in future.
I am completely out of chaser now. I will try to follow up with my daily to-do from tomorrow. Hoping for a great March!

Great to hear that you are out of chaser now bro. Keep going as life is a Rollercoaster ride, somedays will be cool some will be not so cool, but how you balance it will make it worthy. :slightly_smiling_face:

Definitely yes , being consistent is so important. Donā€™t get over excited in good times, but donā€™t feel completely depressed in bad ones.
And NoFap has taught this well , Somedays we are free of urges but somedays are absolute hell.

My last relapse was on Sunday. Itā€™s been only two days, still I felt high urges and almost convinced myself to watch porn. But I somehow stopped myself.
I have so much to fix in my life, Particularly related to my studies.
Almost three months are over and I havenā€™t started the preparation for November exams seriously yet. I am left with only 7 months now. Itā€™s a do or die situation. I am late but still everything can be fixed if I start studying daily now.

I relapsed again, I fell for the chaser and relapsed multiple times in last few days. I am not able to study at all. I feel sleepy and exhausted everytime with no energy at all. November is getting close every day and Now I am getting scared because of my performance. I have a chance to prove myself but here I keep wasting time on YouTube, PMO, Games. Day by day, stress is going up because of such a huge backlog I have created.
I feel like I need accountability in my Life so that I can stay disciplined. I will now post daily updates here for next few months and try to get on track. This is the time for grind for making my future self proud.

  1. Share your YouTube ( Google ) ID and Password with your Parents. They can see what are you watching. Tell them use that ID

  2. There is a facility to track how much time you watch in YouTube. See your YouTube Spent time daily.

  3. Try a digital detox app.

I relapsed after a 16 day streak in Feb and fell hard for the chaser effect. Finally recovered early this month and completed a 21 day streak today, my longest ever. So donā€™t worry bro, youā€™ll recover. Just strive to be better than yesterday. And remember, when youā€™re at rock bottom, when you have absolutely no motivation, when youā€™re tempted to give in, is exactly when you must perform. That is what will separate you from the crowd.

I want you to see the following clip

This is the beginning of a new journey, After almost two years I have finally decided to write daily updates on my diary again.
I have added small but good habits in the list, I will try my best to do them daily.
The main priority for me right now is to increase my study hours to atleast 10+ hours daily. I am left behind as compared to most of my batchmates but I canā€™t do anything for that now. I need to slowly build the consistency in myself. I still got 7 months for my exams.

I got mild fever today in the afternoon, So I slept in afternoon for two hours after taking medicine. I was about to skip exercise today because I was feeling weak because of post fever, But I somehow forced myself and Did it!
For the rest part, Still not satisfied with study hours at all.

I would suggest one thing, donā€™t exercise when you are sick bro, our body needs more rest in such situations, its best to avoid it, as may reverse the affects and make you more tired next day. Good that you slept enough, the more you rest, the faster will be your recovery.
