Heaps of the comments in this thread made me LOL. Great work. As for motivation I'll share that over the years I have found post 'event' I lose my fire. I'm not as aggressive in achieving my goals. Before Triathlons I'd abstain for about a week. It's hard to explain, but it'll like that raw primal side drops away and I become more sedate, passive and relaxed. Use sparingly if your a driven individual

That it's getting easier or harder, no pun intended, as the days go by? Personally, the longer I go without doing something, especially after the initial withdrawal period, the easier it is to go without. I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but when I moved to Nashville from Detroit two years ago, I didn't eat ice cream, one of my favorite things on earth, for months and didn't really miss it terribly. Until, of course, I had it again

. Anyhow, I've never done what you are doing and sort of wondered. Cheers on your progress, btw!

Too bad. But my discipline is getting stronger

For going from almost addiction to none and keeping it up for 14 days, it's kinda nice I guess

Next 15 days should be all success!

Hagerup · 01-22-2009, 05:26 PM

Going from almost addiction until nothing for two weeks must be satisfying if your goal has been to stop it from being a daily habit! Everybody who has tried it can agree that its hard to ignore the urge when it comes - but it will become way easier once its just out of your routine system. Good luck with the rest of the challenge!

FWIW Majesticzero, 16 out of 17 ain't bad. My line would look like this:
Day 1: Fail
Day 2: Fail miserably
Day 3: Fail some more
Day 4: Are you kidding me? Fail!
Day 5: This is embarassing. Fail
Day 6: Man, this sucks. I quit. Oh by the way: Fail

Mad props to you. I'm sure you're learning some great lessons in discipline and what you're capable of as well.

Stop thinking so much about it and do it whenever you feel like without making too much fuss and never be hard on yourself. You will notice that automatically, when you stop thinking about it, but do it when you need, and not think one second after you've finished about it, you will come to a balance and be in control again.

Teachings as ancient as Taoism to good ol' Deepak Chopra state that excessive ejaculation isn't beneficial as it depletes the body's energies.

I'm almost at the end of my 30 days. I have a lot more energy now than I had before.
So I'll stick with it. Ofcourse once a week shouldn't be a problem.

For the reading, I'll stick to it. I like to read, and it gives me a better feeling than doing nothing, watching tv or playing a videogame.

I'm at the end now. And I'm still thinking about this as show in above quote.
Thanks for all the support!

A new 30 days to success will start soon!
