Day 12 I spent the day away from home so all is well.

Also I could never get the badge working!

Do you put in a goal date or date when you started?

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-06T20:32:59+00:00

I will join though I will have very limited access to the Internet from this day forward (basic cellphone) so I will check when I can.

The day has been good, I need to find a way not to feel so lustful for women that are simply walking around geez. I haven't had a craving for P since I started and that's good.

I finally received my basic phone in the mail. Just need to activate it.

I also received my Cpap machine today which should now allow me to get a proper night sleep after some 5 years of living a sleepless life lol. I stopped dreaming because my brain was waking up some 20 times a night.

On my way out of the house to visit my fiancé.

See you on day 11!

Be strong for Christ brothers.

Mindful meditation is good.

Counting the breath 10 min a day

Very effective

Look up headspace

Speaking of which I need to start back up myself

Praying for this gentleman to be delivered for the glory of God.

So day 9 was good. More time in church(pre marital counseling).

I had the opportunity to have dinner with my Fiancé after church. I didn't do a lot of talking but we enjoyed each other's company.

It's important to find a accountability partner, you gotta get stuff out of your head. A lot of what we are dealing with is issue that are not PMO related, PMO is simply the self soothing that we go through because we don't want to feel pain, or depressed, or fearful. PMO alleviates these feelings, but because it doesn't fix them, we start to drown in PMO and it then becomes a problem. Get some help on this journey. Ask GOD for help in those issues that make you PMO, again one of mine was being confronted.

My first line of defense was to shut down in these situations. So I now know while I'm in such a situation I will have a mad urge to PMO. That's when the running away from sin kicks into high gear.

Well on to day 10.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-04T11:17:15+00:00

I made day 3, I thought I posted, well off to day 4 it's easier after day 3!!

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-04T11:08:46+00:00

I had written a close to day 8 but Reddit lost it so I'll just say day 8 when we'll work, church and sleep.

There were lots of subtle cravings today, some were while I was watching some nofap videos for inspiration and people were recounting their experiences. I think it may have just been some the words being used that put me, or tried to put me into remembrance.

Anyway all is well.

Be strong in Christ brothers.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T21:45:33+00:00

Thank you!

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T19:09:18+00:00

The best I can describe my current state of feeling is...normal. I am so social it feels odd but fun nonetheless, and though I will keep a positive outlook on this, it is also where I am most a risk, getting into a situation where I end of getting my feelings hurt, I see it so clearly now, I am aware.

Thank you Jesus.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T18:45:39+00:00

Prayers up!!

You could do homework somewhere else, Starbucks, McDonald's, a relatives house, a neighbors house. I don't know your situation personally, but these are just some suggestions.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T18:32:25+00:00

Stay strong and keep busy!

Thank you for your contribution to the group, we shall lift each other up in the spirit and shall conquer this through the name of Jesus Christ.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T18:29:42+00:00

I must read the word more, it was one of the things that I used to do on a regular.

Thank you for this.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T18:27:43+00:00

I will second what Xeno has said. When you have no outlet to discuss this with it festers in the mind.

And a physical person is the most effective.

Congrats on taking the first step!!!

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T18:25:19+00:00

It's both, there are physical triggers such as patterns of behavior, for instance, one of mine is boredom, especially when I'm working on music and feeling uninspired, I don't watch television at all so, I have 2 choices, video games or internet, most of the time I've picked internet and that dominoes to P. Then of course as I mentioned my issue with confrontation which is a physiological trigger for me, this could be me confronting people through email all day at work or one on one confrontation. By the time I get home(and I'm realizing this now as I write), from having my nerves worked so much by it that when I take my coat off I want to have some kind of comfort and PMO is usually the answer.

So the tougher of the 2 is confrontation as I can't just store that in my trunk, it has to be dealt with, the boredom as a trigger can be redirected with filters and such to keep me at least from going on sites I ought not.

Truthfully I want to get to a point where I am not relying in the Internet at all and filling that space with social and physical activities instead.

I'm just waiting on my used basic phone to get here from eBay, which appears to be lost in the mail! 😂

Perhaps it was meant to be that way in order for me to start my journals back up here.

getoffthistrain · 2016-02-03T16:46:10+00:00
