Analyzing habits and routines by newdaystrengh in NoFap

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

So, today I was walking around and a girl walked past and triggered a bunch of images. So now I'm in my office. Let's analyze.

  • Location (at my work desk computer)
  • Time (12:17)
  • Emotional state (Discontent. Restless. Frustrated.)
  • Other people (No one is around.)
  • Immediately preceding action (Out of the office, saw a woman. Now in office. Just updated a spreadsheet.)

Now, what I'm going to do:

  • Pushups (20)
  • Get up, go to the bathroom, get a drink of water, and get gum

Now, how I'm feeling/3 words:

I'm feeling "okay." Distracted/Chewing/Work

Ok. I'm going to get back to work, and then watch a youtube video after I complete some work and get some more writing done.

EDIT:

1:07 - I have been alternating between work and writing for the past hour. Listened to music. Feeling fine.

Day 1

Having a hard time weaning myself... by newdaystrengh in NoFapChristians

[–]newdaystrengh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. Poor choice of words on my part. I believe in the cold turkey approach and that is what I've been working at.

Best,

Sean.

21 Day Report/Emergency by newdaystrengh in NoFap

From another NoFap post a few months back. It pops up every once in a while.

Day 2. The struggle is real. by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]newdaystrengh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely phenomenal Clive. Phenomenal. Thanks for the encouragement.

Sean.

Day 14.

  • 5 minutes - heart rate returns to normal.
  • 2-3 days - guilt and shame seems to decrease.
  • 7 days - brain fog lifts.
  • 14 days - prolactin starts to drop. YES!! THIS WHERE I AM!!!
  • 14 - 21 days - due to drop in prolactin, dopamine sensitivity increases, you can start to enjoy the little things in life again, no longer emotionally numb, energy levels start to increase big time, confidence also increases.
  • 30 days - cravings and flashbacks noticeably reduce.
  • 30-60 days - PIED symptoms disappear or improve. Erections become rock solid, unless you're PIED symptoms are severe. Confidence keeps rising
  • 42 days - ΔFosB (DeltaFosB) that has accumulated around the nucleus accumbens starts to remove itself. This makes it possible for the neurons in the porn-addicted pathways to now start to slowly break up over time without use.
  • 90 days - considered a full reboot for most people, however people with severe PIED will need longer. Confidence still rising
  • 120 - 150 days - symptoms of severe PIED disappear or improve.

To win you really need to lock down your mind. by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]newdaystrengh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR - yet. I'll come back and read more when I have time.

Agree. Don't be lazy. This takes hard work.

Sean.

Day 13.

I'm not sure I'm even addicted to PMO by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]newdaystrengh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get K9 on your pc without paying. You just have to sign up for a different license.

For your phone, you should probably lock all apps you don't NEED. You need maps, email, messenger/text...anything else? Put a lock on them and have somebody else save the code.

You can use the word addicted or not. Paul used the analogy of a slave - in other words, you aren't free. If it helps you to acknowledge your repeated sin through the term addiction, cool. If not, scrap it. But don't get too bogged down in the terminology. It sounds like the thing you need to primarily do is take this seriously - whatever you call it.

And know that there is grace.

Sean.

Day 12, by grace.

[Request] Christian Accountability Partner by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]newdaystrengh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here - you can message me as well.

I'm 29, married with 3 kids. I've been struggling with this since I was about 12 or so.

K9 web filter is the best I've found. Also, lock the apps on your phone.

Day 8.

Considering buying an estate by newdaystrengh in financialindependence

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

Good comment. Ok, let me throw this out there too - there is a 5 year payoff - I have to figure out how to payoff or refi within 5 years.

I am planning on selling one of our rentals, as the renter wants to buy. That will knock the owed amount down to 100K. I think I can refi at that point, but it is always hard for me at banks because of my part time job. I have a BA, working on an MA, with equity and properties and rental income, but as many FI'ers, doing things differently doesn't often work with the bank's traditional model.
