Hey bro @FaithfulWalker , I think ur problem was psychological , not harmonal. U have said that u are a straight male , just ur fantasies were quite feminine. I am glad to know that u havenโ€™t been involved in those activities for a long time. Stay like thisโ€ฆ:fire:

Yes @Lord_Inosuke it was psychological, because I am also diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Early Onset Alzheimerโ€™s. Half of the time I have to read over several times what people post to me here. Yes those were my fantasies but I havenโ€™t thought about it in while now. I know that I have written it here because I wanted to keep something from my past so that I will not stoop that low again.

Yes @Covertxomic I have risen again and I am on day 24 today. I hope that you will get there some day. Just be strong Brother and keep fighting for those days. Yes I am an inspiration to others but when I lose a good streak I feel like I let everyone down. So this is what is keeping me going, keeping a good streak and holding on to it. You may be on day 7 but I pray that you will not fail. God bless you and donโ€™t give up hope.

Hello my friends, I am doing well all things considered. Whew now I got my life story out of the way lets begin now to talk about something else. Yes I believe that everyone can overcome there past but they can never undo it. If I could erase my past and start over I would not have met you guys or girls. @Lord_Inosuke @Covertxomic @debellator @user1234567890 I want to thank you guys for bearing with me as I told my past. In the past I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and early onset Alzheimerโ€™s. Now enough about the past lets look into the future shall we?

Well I am 24 days clean and still hanging in there. Now I ainโ€™t saying that I donโ€™t have urges I do. I donโ€™t know if many of you have seen the movie Predator or not, but I feel like this journey is a metaphor similarity to the movie. The predator tries to kill you in any way that he can but you must fight with different tactics of skill. If you fall the first time the predator has figured out your weakness. So to defeat this predator of a bad habit you must use every means possible to defeat him.

Now there is another story that falls along in the journey of bad habits. Pilgrims Progress is a good book to read and Christian is leaving the city of destruction in search of the celestial city. He has many downfalls along the way but he goes back to the straight and narrow path. We must also leave the city of destruction and find the path to that celestial city. As we leave this city of destruction donโ€™t look back because the fall will be harder than the first. If you ever want to find hope just walk with Jesus and He will carry you the rest of the way.

My future is bright for 2025 because I have a new year resolution to stick with and that is to not give up next year. I pray that each one that reads my journal will keep me accountable to keep my resolution. Now I might have a few weakness but this I know that my hope lies in Jesus. Next year will be different and I hope to accomplish by June 09, 2025 200 days free. As you see my friends that will outrun my oldest record 174 days. God bless yโ€™all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives.

Hello my friends, I am doing well tonight all things considered. I want to tell you something about my journal, then we will talk about triggers. Now you see at the top were it says โ€œMy Informationโ€ well inside that I have created an Urge Meter. This is to let you know what level my urges are for this day. The Urge Level Meter ranges from 1 to 10, 1 is being a normal day and 10 being the worst day. I am trying this because I need to keep my levels consistent and normal. Now the normal days are 1-4, 5 is an average day, and 6-10 are the worst days.

Now before I get started on the topic for tonight, I want to tell you that my body has responded better to this comeback than my last streak. My hair is thicker, my voice is deeper and I feel more confident in what I do everyday. Now I know that I donโ€™t want to brag but my figure has improved as well. Day 25 is done, and now I am moving on to the next day. When I was in my 110 day streak I was not this confident as I am now. I know that I canโ€™t be overconfident because that will be my downfall.

Now lets get to the subject for tonight. Triggers, we all hate them and we donโ€™t like them. Well I have identified one of my triggers and I will from now on stay away from sugary candy. Desserts are okay if they are not to sweet, but if the sugar is loaded in the dessert then I must stay away. Now to identify these triggers stay away from them for at least three weeks and then go back and try the trigger point. If it triggers your dopamine level then you must stay away. I have learned this from experience because I recently done this test.

Triggers are sometimes hard to identify because they hide themselves in the smallest places that you havenโ€™t looked. These are some examples of my triggers: Candy (loaded with sugar) Imagination (I know you canโ€™t hide from your imagination but remove these distractions by meditating) PMO (this one is the most distracting one of them all, the P for me is my philia). These are some of my triggers, but you might have something different from me.

As you may know all triggers are simple to identify if you know where to look. Triggers are the number one cause of all failures or chaser affect. Now to begin the most prominent search for these triggers one must identify what he/she loves most and then put it to a test. If the test is successful for raising the dopamine level then then he/she must do away with that trigger.Now I ainโ€™t saying to put everything to the test, just take one step at a time and then identify.

God bless yโ€™all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives.

Just like that verse in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (KJV) Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Hello my friends, I am doing okay today I guess. Yeah you heard right I am okay. The reason for this is because I am scared (scared of what you say). This is where things really start to come together for me and then I fall. Days 25-40 are the scariest for me because these days are my chaser affect days. Now you may be wondering I thought chaser affect days are in the days of 1-10, but my chaser affect days are 25-40. As you see on my urge meter it level 6. Yes my urges are now fighting fighting me and this is the reason I am scared.

Now there is nothing to fear but I will always be afraid until I past day 40. I just have to be patient and do prayer meditation to fight against these urges. I have fallen before during this short period of a stage. When I made it to 174 days and then fallen, then after 28 day of trying to regain control I fell again. Now after 110 days this is happening to me again. I havenโ€™t relapsed yet but I pray that I donโ€™t. Now you might be wondering where I am going with this but I just want to tell you all that I am afraid of what is about to happen. This stage in life can be hard but you must focus on what is ahead. Now I might not know what will happen in the next few hours but I pray that I get past this day and overcome these urges.

08:10 pm
Yes my friends, I hope that whoever is reading this will understand that my life has changed for the better. I may be typing this out of hast but I must believe in my redeemer and he will answer my call of redemption from this ridiculous habit. The Lord is my rock and my salvation. Now as you may notice I have two time frames on my journal entry for tonight, the reason being is because earlier today I had a level 6 urge. @Covertxomic calmed me down and helped me at that time to come back to the present. During my strong urge moment I almost fell again. But I still havenโ€™t fallen yet, PRAISE THE LORD!

Be it as it may my chaser affect didnโ€™t get the best of me. I may be afraid of these number days but there is always someone here to help me in this community. Thank you @Covertxomic for setting me straight and helping me overcome this chaser affect. You are like a brother to me. Now I canโ€™t forget about my Brother in Christ @user1234567890 because he helps me out at night when no one is hardly on this forum. Well thatโ€™s all for now, God bless yโ€™all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives.

Hello my friends, I am doing well all things considered. This letter is a sad one so if you wish not to read it that is fine with me. I am going to take a break from all of my journal entryโ€™s for awhile and pull myself together during this break. I wonโ€™t be leaving permanently I will be on here long enough to do check ins and fill out my devotionals and Bible verse of the day and The Bible for one year challenge. I know everyone that reads my journal will be sad to see it go away for awhile but I just need some space to figure out where to go from here. This letter to you is different for me as well, but maybe when I reach 100+ days this journal will come back.

This is where I stand and I need to find time to do other things besides being here all the time. I love this community of friend and whenever you need to talk to me just DM me anytime and I will eventually get the message. Even my productivity journal will be on pause as well. I will not be filling out any information there as well. @Covertxomic if you wish to discotinue our challenge please let me know and I will get debellator to archive it for me. If this is the IronWill that I need then I will rise stronger when this journal is continued. Recently the point of starting this new journal was because I want to give information to those still struggling with the issue of breaking a bad habit.

My friend I am sorry to see this journal at rest even though it will be revived again when I reach a certain amount of days. Donโ€™t worry about me I wonโ€™t be spending as much time here as I used to, but I will only be here long enough to do what needs to be done here. Forgive me for leaving this journal and not keeping up with it permanently. I hope that what I have here will be an inspiration to others and help those in need. So my friend, I will now tell you goodbye from this journal entry until further notice. God bless yโ€™all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives.

Hey Samuel, itโ€™s understandable. Sometimes we need a break from this app. And it helps. It definitely did in my case.
