All good.
Today I went to church, as I always do on Sunday. No physical exercise, I had a busy day and I’m tired so I will skip it today.
Next week challenges will be:
- spending time with God, 30 min every day
- physical exercise, I want to restart a routine of push-ups, sit-ups etc. and also some outdoor exercise like bicycle or roller-skating each week

It’s been a good day and a good week.
I’ve enjoyed being prayerful throughout my days,
and being mindful of my media usage.
I managed to fit in some exercises just now before bed.
I know I shouldn’t base my happiness on others, but I’m really happy (and grateful) to share this journey and see your positive contribution.
It’s like, each day I see a companion doing well, all the angels of heaven are rejoicing.
It’s been a good week. I’m looking forward to seeking God in every moment.

It’s been a good day, spent time with my family, no physical exercise or daily prayer, could’ve been more productive but I’m not in a hurry. I also restarted reading books, which is something I do more often during summer.
Tomorrow I want to resume my daily challenges, it’s ok to rest but I don’t want to be inactive for too long, bad temptations could creep in again.

@Gk-00 
I went to Church in the evening.
It was an idle day because of circumstance - though I could’ve been more proactive about it.
Not the greatest of days, but at least I didn’t fall and feel some joy 
I did have a couple of weak eros moments. Flirting with my phone this morning, the challenge came to mind, and the same thing happened this evening.
I exercised a few times today, in spare moments, and there was a lot of spare moments but I some how got through today.
Thanks be to God

What’s the challenge you set up this week?
I’m aiming at maintaining a daily journal describing the activities that I am gonna do at a particular day. I’d done it in the past but lost the flow 2-3 weeks before my last relapse. It is a powerful productivity hack😉. Besides this I have set up a target to meditate for at least 15 minutes everyday.

@MrXYZ I’ll go along with you brother.
My challenge: Planning my day the night before. I’ve done this a few times in the past before and it did wonders for my productivity and focus. I’ll make this a habit, GOD willing.

I looked at YouTube and P out of seeking comfort, but quickly thought about my challenge, Rewire, community and the relapse button.
Makes me think of your Number 9 @Forerunner
I had work related frustration with friend.
Lost motivation, took a long break, found some drive and feel into anger again with friend when confronted.
We’re both frustrated, coming close to a deadline. I want to work hard and do a great job, I want him to trust in me and relax, I think he feels the same.
I feel misunderstood, being unable to explain myself, intuition, spirit, vision - I prefer to stay quiet listen and go with the spirit.
The vision is there, and it’s head slowly popping out of the water ready for me to carve something from my heart - but I feel paranoid and creativity crushed when someone takes over.
I didn’t seek the Lord today, I really need and want to pray everyday, especially in those moments.
I need wisdom, patience, adaptability and lots & lots of humility backed up with infinite flare, passion to reach goals and get this job done.
I without a doubt need God along every step of the way.
“Make me a channel of your peace, where there’s despair let me bring hope, where there is injury your pardon Lord, and where there’s doubt truth faith in you. O master grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, as to be Loved as to Love with all my soul”
Lord guide and protect me.
Forgive me for any stupidity, Please give me the wisdom to see my mistakes and the wisdom to correct them. To act justly and to fulfill my duties in work and to be as Christ would to others

Thank you for asking and sharing.
I’m in Day Seven of my reboot. It’s been several months since I made it this long. Pray that I do not fall. As I’m traveling I have been now staying at my former host families house which has been nice. There is still the pull have wanting comfort for loneliness. Please pray I may find my comfort in the Lord who is the Spirit in whom there is true freedom.
Love and prayers for all of you on your journey. +

@anon67854825 That habit has been a Godsend to me, brother. Removing lustful thoughts instantly. It has changed my thought process entirely, and whatever urges pass through that filter are greatly reduced in intensity and frequency.
I reason this way; thank GOD for my sexual desire! I am a healthy human being with a natural appetite as provided by my Creator. Sexual desire and activity is a beautiful thing indeed. But when He created Adam, He also gave him his wife Eve, where that appetite is to be met and enjoy true satisfaction. Why should I lust after my female friend or colleague, or the woman passing on the street, or the actor online? What do I gain from this? This is an unnatural expression of that desire and leads only to further frustration, as I’ve experienced on so many occasions. Reducing my gaze and guarding my modesty are far purer for me.
We hear and understand your frustration at work brother. The pressure of deadlines, someone questioning your work ethic and motivation, being misunderstood. That’s not a happy place to be. Stay strong my friend. We are here to listen if you need to vent.

@Forodwaith Congratulations on breaking the cycle! Stay strong brother.
Remember that there is no comfort to be found in the addiction. If it fulfilled us, we never would have looked up and realized it was a problem. There is no true joy or peace or stress relief. As Fight the New Drug says, Porn kills Love. It destroys our natural ability to love and be loved, and the feelings of loneliness and isolation are only heightened with continued use.
It’s okay to feel lonely, but with Him we never walk alone. Praying for your success brother.

Thank you for your support and kind words guys, it means a lot 
I didn’t fall, and it makes me happy seeing a companion doing well just as much as making it through a day.
I’m going to have a look at vices & virtues.
Check where I could do better and aspire towards the counter Virtue.
How’s it going @Gk-00?

@Forerunner , today I woke up at 4 am. I meditated for around 20 minutes after a little bit of stretching and a yoga session. Then took down the lessons I have to cover today on my diary. I have just returned from school and will be starting with the plan shortly.

@MrXYZ Great start brother!
I woke up around 4AM myself. Planning my day the night before made me more conscious of getting things done in the morning. I completed my exercises and some daily tasks. I took a quick nap which ended up being a quick few hours 
Work in progress. There’s still more hours in the day to accomplish more.
