Good stuff @Forerunner

  • since my last relapse at (10PM) on (Aug 22 2019), today I realize:

I do not wanna go. I do not wanna go back to 0 again.

December 11th 2019. Day 111

  1. My primary objective is to clean out the room. My life, body and happiness is at stake. Stagnation ran rampant.
  2. My secondary objective is to try and do a workout at the gym.
  3. My tertiary Objective is clean out the car. Working on that.
  • forgive but never forget: All PMO (Porn, Masturbation, Orgasm) has ever done was ruin your life. No arguing or rationalizing will EVER change that harsh reality.

Good stuff @Forerunner

  • since my last relapse at (10PM) on (Aug 22 2019), today I realize:

Be ever vigilant. Granted, while I was not deliberately seeking triggering adult content, I relaize that a lot of videos I am watching does have some triggering content. Examples are the Coomer Meme on Youtube or NNN on Reddit now. Actually had to leave that subreddit because someone posted a NSFW vid. Seriously, eliminate the subreddit and dont put rhe image on hidden, because I feel that you will go back if you do.Thus:

December 15th 2019. Day 115

  1. My primary objective is, now that I finally feel better, is to work on enhancing the environment. Bought another subscription for Blocksite annually, which helps with Uninstall protection in the event i wanted to visit the hundred or so URLs I intentionally blocked because its too triggering. Also gotta work on minimizing any books I have for teaching techniques. To be honest, I am keeping reading them to a minimum because its triggering. Luckily after 90 days, I dont go into Binge relapsing mode the moment I see an attractive woman or my fetishes. Still get the feeling in the stomach, though. Dosen’t have to be perfect, but it is good to keep improving. For example, I disabled the Youtube Mobile App and decided to use Google Chrome or Lastpass to Access it, because the mobile versions, like Reddit or Deviantart (I avoid like the plague now) makes it much more high speed and easily accessible.
  2. My secondary objective is to send college transcripts to my new college and get finished on enrolling
  3. My tertiary Objective is to fix up the workout and Meditation list, as well as finally return back to hobbies.
  • forgive but never forget: while it is impossible to eliminate every bit of triggering content, and it would probably be mentally unhealthy to try, it never hurts to be ever adapting and changing. Even something as simple as eliminating mobile apps and going the scenic and rougher route can do wonders. Again, don’t go batcrap insane if you see NSFW content and destroy your livelihood and life just to avoid. NoFap means also being confronted by them and not letting them control you. You may see an attractive person, and you say okay, I find them attractive, and not go home and binge relapse. That is a wonderful sign of recovery. I mean damn, I can read a book that has sexual stuff and not get triggered, so long as it is minimized, but that dont mean buy ALL THE BOOKS on amazon, or literally go buy literotica just for kicks…at least not yet… like I said, gotta avoid seeing too much of books, like how to do this or that. Otherwise, how the hell you gon’ handle a relationship if you get a dirty pic or sext? Not really healthy to relapse over that. But I rant too much.

Friday 20th December:

"Since my final relapse on June 12, 2019 at 3:20 PM, I’ve learned this one important thing about myself: I love being me! The reason why my streak hasn’t and won’t end today is because I want to continue feeling like a good person and living up to my standards and goals. If I feel myself slipping into old patterns including everything I do before I gave into my urges, I shall report to my accountability partner and discuss how to get back on track."

  1. Productive day today. I didn’t get as much accomplished as I’d like, but I certainly put in the effort.
  2. Morning routine completed and exercises, walked 8km+. Water fasting.
  3. Read some Scripture, listened to The Power of Habit.

Nice new vid @Forerunner and now Inam subscribed. Always could use more NoFap knowledge.

  • since my last relapse at (10PM) on (Aug 22 2019), today I realize:

After looking up a NoFapper named Teshawn’s Adventure, I saw a video where he posted about Meditation. I subscribed to his Patreon and he told me a powerful benefit that resonated with me: the Third Eye/Pineal Gland…awakens. it cant easily be done if you live your life on PMO.

It got me thinking…what if Porn really was what I feel it is…a weapon to subjugate. I mean look at our society today. Sex.is. EVERYWHERE! And yet, despite the so called freedom…we all are locked in little cages and confined to dancing on the strings of “The Man”. Third Eye awakenings, Sexual energy as a source of power, mindfulness, testosterone, estrogen, dimensions and the spaces between worlds of you believe it, hyperfocus and presence, and nearly superhuman abilities similar to our animal brethren. It does sound a little farfetched and pseudoscientific…and yet the more I meditate, the longer I refuse to go back to my favorite porn sites and relapse, the longer I stumble upon triggers and overcome them along with urges…the more…weird I feel. I always believed in God, being Protestant myself, not very adherent but a believer… I believe in Chakra gates, Vibrations, Energy and psychoc abilities, White and Black magic, Angels and Demons, hrck I feel I have one that has been haunting me my entire life, that little dark side. My point being that with NoFap, it almost feels like I am reopening connections on a level beyond the natural and scientific. I can’t explain it, but looking at all my meditations and work these past 4 months…It almost feels that the more and longer I give up PMO, the more something else is traded in. I still have my bad days, but I feel so much better, happier, and I come to realize as I continue this streak, that there really is something…magical about NoFap…Seriously, like…RPG magicks, fireballs and lightning bolts and crap. Maybe I am a little nutty, but would it really be insane to feel that maybe NoFap is a God Given blessing and an answer to the prayers of a crippled society? All I can say is that wver since I started NoFap because I wanted to be more trustworthy and get these superpowers…Really interesting and unexplainable stuff has been coming my way.

December 20th 2019. Day 120, 4 months now

  1. I subscribed to Headspace. I have 4 different places I meditate from: Dr. David Tian, Aaron Doughty, Master Sri Akarshana and now headspace. I want to see what superpowers come from Meditation. There is something there that will bring me great power healing along with NoFap and working out and hobbies and careers.
  2. My secondary objective was to prepare to go see family on Leave for the holidays. I want to show them a Different man, a man on NoFap. Not some little gremlin hiding away in the other room wasting his life on the next Porn video.
  3. My tertiary Objective was to finish up paying for enrollment for my two college classes. The future is now, and I am too old for this childish charade.
  • forgive but never forget: while I know I am Codependently Needy saying this, I am gonna Say it:

I have not forgotten all the haters who looked at me like I was trash. I still remember that day I messed up with my crush and she said I was just like every other man, and that pierced my cold stone heart like a meteor. I have not forgotten all the times I felt stupid giving in to an urge that lied to me, that reflected an ugly persona I took when I PMO. I have not forgotten all the horror stories on Reddit and YouTube of all the destroyed marriages and relationships, of all the sickening addictions leaving parents to abandon or even hurt their own children. I have not forgotten the lies I tell myself about my sexuality and fetishes, that I am sick or messed up. I am not, but if I continue to live in the lies of porn, I will become something abominable. I prayed day after day, begging God for forgiveness and screwing up my entire life…Now, I can see NoFap was the answer. The path to freedom, redemption, and self actualization.
