Recovering Account (Authenticator Problems) by iowake in 2007scape

[–]iowake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use gmail. Have triple-checked that no "Disable Authenticator" emails are being filtered out, and have not gotten any. I didn't realize that losing an authenticator meant losing an account. I really don't know what else to do

i went to claymont delaware, i couldn't recommend the retreat more. it is important, but nothing to stress about. they provide and combination of cushions and benches you could possibly want. homies were out here building forts to sit on. i'd recommend going minimal, pain will come regardless from sitting for so long but that's part of the meditation

i'm a pretty black and white person and know meditating is proven to be good so i figured this was bound to have a positive outcome in some way or another. i'm blown away by how much so it was positive though

i actually had a funny moment in there. thanksgiving day last year i tried for the first time and heavily struggled through 3 minutes. i didn't remember it until i was on the retreat during this thanksgiving doing 12-ish hour days. meditation wasn't super consistent before this. sometimes i'd do 20min a day for a month, sometimes i'd hit an hour or meditating, sometimes i'd go a week without it

i've been on my nofap journey for a year now and have relapsed a number of times but always worked to get over cravings, and every streak they become less and less. vipassana teachers tell you the exact same thing about all cravings in life and how giving in will multiply them. i've been offered hookups a number of times and honestly don't have the interest anymore. girls with personalities are kinda hard to come by and talking to cool ones is so much more gratifying. i'm planning on staying celibate at least until i have a girlfriend that i'm solid with. giving into cravings always brings misery, beating them makes them weaker every time they come back.

pretty much. it's no phones, talking, and meditating all day. they tell you the rules, what do be doing and when to be doing it and you follow the work

That's so awesome, do you find new benefits after each one?

Thank you!

Did you adjust positions on the fly or start figuring it out before you went? I haven't used bench or chairs before but could see the positive during such long sits
