15 days no O

Some guys said that spontaneous leak once in a fortnight is decent. Although I expect to stretch it more.

Good sleep today at last. Fantasies are still coming however.
Feel moody and weak at times. Likely that is the consequence of spoiling my poor brain again and again for years. So, supposedly, I will not put it in norm at once. And 90 days here is the very low limit rather than guaranteed.

The last day was not easy. I was unfocused and bored, unable to work and study. Bad sleep two nights in a row. Today seems better so far.

Yesterday's wet dream was about a kiss with a young girl I was in love with some time ago. And I wonder how hot just a kiss could be! Surprisingly, it turned out to be enough to O.

So my brain flooded with dopamine and routine activities seemed so uninteresting. But that’s transitory and I must stay persistent and not indulge.

My goal now is to keep clean for 3 days.

24 hours without O

One full day without O. Sleep is still not good.

Recently viewed dr.Trish Leigh about semen retention. As far as I got it this process is not investigated excessively and the benefit of long retention is ambiguous. Specifically, if it leads to prolonged edging the negative effect on the brain may be more than a wet dream.

So it’s essential not to fantasize for long.

Wet dream tonight.

Sleep was unstable again, so I skipped the yoga session as a result . A little bit puzzled.

Possibly, the cause is that the day before I brainstormed the problem and still didn’t succeed. I really put quite an effort and had and still have some emotional concern with it. On the other hand the problem is about the course where we have a schedule and I’m short of time. So all that possibly adds up to stress, although I wasn't aware of it as the stress. And PMO is my habitual reaction to stress. This time it was down to only O.
But that is, again, only a hypothesis.

I find that the thinking about it is nearly as much of a problem as the temptation: I feel the (legitimate) need and turn to porn if I can't get actual sex (and sometimes even if I can). Then even once the need itself subsides, it's still on my mind and that pushes me to look for more. Then I have to break the habit.

The good news is that you're working on it. You're still fighting and haven't surrendered. One day at a time!

@Percival Great note!

Haven’t slept part of last night, yet that was still better than the night before. Also the knowing that that was an inevitable consequence of O makes sensation less heavier.

Had a hard time focusing on the job and studying both yesterday and today (expectable also).

Should be especially vigilant in the near days.

~30 hours without O

Sleep is better although not enough. Still feel weak and indecisive.

Remind myself that all other problems: job, studies are secondary and in the extreme can be handled in better times.

Low energy and didn’t sleep part of the night again. Resuming vitamin intake might help.

Things on the job and on the studies don’t go well also. Likely the job should be the priority, although I put quite an effort in both, and others manage to combine it seems.

Still running and going to the yoga sessions (skip sometimes since it’s early).

Still have bad sleep. This night and overall. I thought it should become better eventually but it seems I should do something about it.
One way is to quickly fall asleep once I wake up at night. The other (and ideal) way is that I should sleep all night long without interruption.

Why I put it here is because bad sleep means restless brain, leaves a lot of space for fantasy and that makes a wet dream more possible. By the way I had P dream (without O) recently.

20 days is good. Even a wet dream once in a couple of weeks would be decent I suppose. Although I feel bad after it. But that can be seen as a natural drawback.

Still concerned about bad sleep. It became worse after the last O and still not bounced back completely.

Postpone my course – will try to rebalance myself during the pause. Possibly it costs me too much in terms of psyche.
Anyway my number one goal is still not a career, nor a relationship, but to become free from addiction at first.

Had a normal sleep last two nights. It was a wet dream the night before last, but good sleep is more important than a single O to keep balanced.

Use breathing techniques and meditation to calm myself down and it works it seems.

90 days no PM 🤩
6 days no O

I may be proud about myself, however, I should not consider myself freed completely. The next goals are 10 days without O and 100 days without PM.

Sleep is still unstable. Possibly, that is the brain issue, and I should pay attention to thoughts not only before the bed but during the whole day also. Plan to resume taking vitamins.
Breathing practice and meditation help to fall asleep at night although not at once, but eventually.

Good sleep today at last. Before that I had a series of nights with a bad sleep. At times I felt nervous, unstable, and had urges. So sleep is possibly my weak spot dealing with reboot and not only with it.
I missed a number of yoga sessions (in favor of sleep). Running performances are a little bit lower than expected.

But I should not forget about social connections also – they are no less important in the process.
