NoFap day ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ): 3

So pretty decent day. Got up very late. I wasn't unhappy at school. Got quite a bit of studying done. A whole class of year 8s decided to try and wind me up. Didn't give a fuck. Good that I am able to rationalise with myself. Went climbing after. I was alone for a lot of today but not sad- just reclusive and quite indifferent. Came home. Didn't get much studying done or do much productive.

What I am grateful for:

  • Metal
  • Not giving a fuck
  • Climbing

Got up late. I was very confident, calm and collected today. Did some running. Did 100 pushups. Came home and managed a bit of studying but I relapsed again on my nofap. It was like a physical itch that needed to be scratched but right after I still felt that itch. Weird. Maybe it wasn't an itch and I misinterpreted it?

What I am grateful for:

  • Metal
  • Talking to people I like

What I have learnt from today:

  • I've entered this weird phase where I don't care about anything. i relapse on my nofap a lot because of this
  • Sometimes I lack the willpower to not wank. I lose sight of why I shouldn't do it.

  • Focus when studying

  • I will look into going down to my local climbing centre in the holidays

The way I learned about a gratitude list is to try and be thankful for three things each day.  Wow I remember in new sobriety how I would talk to people in newer sobriety that just couldn't think of anything to be grateful for.

There is a book wrote by a Dutch Author (female I think).  It's a story of this family in Holland if I remember correctly.  When I think back on the book I think of canals, tulips and stone buildings.  Anyway, eventually they end up having to go to a concentration camp.  The girl's mother told her to always be grateful for even the bad things.

The prisoners had a few scraps of paper they had wrote the bible out on.  Maybe even parts of the bible I forget.  But they would pass them back and forth among themselves, hiding them under the mattresses of their bunks, in order to gain what small comfort they could from these.

If they were caught with these it would have meant their death.

Their barracks was the only barracks that was not searched.  Their barracks had a horrible problem with fleas.  The prisoners came to understand that the guards did not come in to search their barracks because of the fleas.  So they learned to thank God even for the fleas.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also learned that when depressed one good therapy is to start a gratitude list and keep writing until you feel better.  If you have to fill a whole notebook... keep writing.

I am thankful for the food I have today, I am warm, I have propane, the rain, my computer, I have electricity, gamequitters, and you. :D

Thanks cam. I just don't have a lot of likeminded people around me I can relate to.

It's possible to change that, but it has to come from you. For instance, if in-person isn't an option, you could ask people on the forum to have Skype chats and develop your like-minded social circle that way.

With NoFap it's similar to games. The best clue for the beginning is to do one day at the time. :)

And when you'll feel tempted, turn this sexual energy into something productive. Like doing these push-up. Or running. Or whtever you desire.

You can do that and trust me, Mad Pharmacist believes in you! And that means a lot! ;)

Greetings, Mad Pharmacist

Agreed! You can channel that sexual energy you feel into other things. It's called "sexual transmutation" I believe.

Yes I tried it today. I felt like wanking so i just got down and did 50 pushups. I have to convince myself that i have no need to be fulfilled in wanking. But, wanking is simply a method and a degenerating method at that.

Thank you for your awesome support.

100%. Wanking is also a way to get release, which also comes through in push-ups. It's just energy built up inside yourself that needs to go somewhere. Wanking is just the easiest/most common one you know.

You got to repeat this everytime you'll feel like wanking. This way you'll harness your sexuality! :)

Proud of you, Mad Pharmacist
