Seeking Freedom

Hey there,

    My name is Isaac. I did reboot nation for a while this last year, but for some reason I stopped. Journaling seemed too much of a hassle I guess? I don't know. The long and short is: I'm a bit of a wreck. I relapse all the time even though I'm getting ready to propose to my girlfriend. I made a deal with myself not to propose until I can kick this pig. I will try to exercise half an hour every day and take cold showers, because that has helped me in the past.

    I'm a freshmen in college, and just graduated from high school this last spring. I'm going to OIT to study clinical lab science which basically means I want to work in hospital labs. I currently work in a deli part time to help get me through college. I like comic books, d&d, video games, and I'm deciding to like jogging because that's going to help me beat this addiction.

    As you've probably noticed, I relapsed today. And I'm taking on the hard 90. here we go.

Stay grounded,
Isaac

Your most recent relapse doesn't destroy all of the progress you made this year. You're still so young, which is a good thing! Kick this addiction sooner rather than later, and what better motivation to stop than proposing to your girlfriend.

Does your girlfriend know about your PIED?

Ouch. Had a relapse. Not fun. I had an arousing dream and then I tried and failed in my groggy arousal. From now on my strategy after arousing dreams is to get up and get a drink, maybe go outside for a spell. Good luck, and God bless.

There goes another streak. Oof. This time I was trying to sleep on an issue that I have with my GF. I was really aroused but I couldn't get off to her and I couldn't get to sleep. I guess next time I'm in this predicament I'll take a cold shower. Thanks, guys. Here we go again.

Hey guys. Havin a good day despite the relapse. God's helping me fight it out. Exercised this morning which was incredibly helpful. Doing a seven minute workout that really combats P triggers. Just got out of class and now I'm waiting for my GF to get out. Peace.

Hey nation. Had a successful day. God gave me strength and peace and got me through it. Now I'm waiting for my girlfriend to get off work so I can call her. My exercise And cold shower helped so much. I've also found that reading before bed helps me avoid that pre-sleep arousal that I get sometimes. Thanks for your support, nation. Strength to you, and God bless.

Hey guys md to o while reading erotic lit. Heads up. If you're confused, it's porn. Erotica conditions your brain to be aroused by pretend people and situations. It's not healthy. Of course I decided that after I relapsed. Bummer. Heads up. Don't play video games the hour leading up to sleep. It charges you up and makes you want to m. Trying again.

Just wanted to point out that I loved that you set a small attainable goal of beating your longest 5 day streak. Keep it up man! Doing good  8)
