In order to successfully complete this nofap journey, I need to learn how to manage my emotions. I need to meditate more to develop awareness. From now on I will try to meditate at least 10 minutes a day.

I need to be extra careful the next few days, because that’s usually when I relapse. I can’t let that happen again.

I need to controll my mind better, because if I’m going through the day with β€œauto-pilot” mode, I’m wasting too much time. I need to stay focused as much as possible.

Today’s urges were very strong, but I managed to deal with them. The most important thing to remember is that even in the darkest times, you can find light. Understanding this helped me a lot.

Today I had huge temptations to relapse. I was very close to fail. I was having thoughts like β€œit won’t hurt to do it once”, or β€œthere is no fun in abstinence, let’s just do it and it’ll be good”. It was so foolish. Right now I don’t regret that I didn’t relapse. I don’t regret it at all. I’m very proud that I did not go back to my old bad habits.

I had very strong urges today. The reason I had them is because deep down in my head I still want to relapse. I want to get this easy dopamine. I want to return to my old weak self.
I cannot let this happen. From now on I need to be very vigilant and nip these thoughts in the bud. I also need to meditate more.

Day 21 :white_check_mark:


It’s 3 weeks in. Finally. I’ve been fighting this addiction for 7 years, and this is my biggest streak. And this will also be my final streak. No more relapses. No more starting again. I will end this pmo-shit once and for all.

Yeah… it didn’t go as well as I hoped. Today I relapsed.

I’m not gonna write excuses for why I relapsed. I just wasn’t disciplined enough to succeed. I’ve been spending too much time on social media, I haven’t been meditating lately… There are so many things I haven’t done to beat this addiction.

The main problem is that I still can’t control my negative emotions and feelings. I spend too much time in my head entertaining these thoughts, and as a result they become very strong. And that’s why my brain wants me to watch corn and masturbate. It knows that after returning to PMO, a lot of dopamine is released, and the brain feels β€œvery good”. PMO is a β€œgood” coping mechanism that almost always managed to relieve anxiety and negative emotions… Of course, for a very short period of time.

The good news is I know how to stop this vicious cycle. I won’t write yet what the point is, but the idea is very good. I hope it’ll work.

I will also meditate more. Meditation is very important to break this addiction. I will meditate every day for at least 30 minutes.

Also, I won’t count days anymore. I will just check in here every week or so.

Stay tuned. I will certainly become the best version of myself. I will win. I’m already winning :sparkles: :sparkles: :sparkles:
