Hey, I am waiting for the day that I can say 173 days! Please dont knock yourself. Tzadik Gamur you are. Just considering the urge - so so so powerful - and all the work that goes into getting to where you are. Take the title. Its not a joke.

That's great to hear. Keep going strong! 
I've read many stories of people falling after a long period of being clean. It seems that for many after a while they figured they were cured and no longer needed to focus and be proactive about their sobriety. Then at some point something happens and they are confronted with a lust attack and before they know it they've fallen. So please stay with us for the long term! 
I'm saying this for myself as well, as B"H I reached 90 days. I need to constantly remind myself that if anything now I need to be even more vigilant. 
Hatzlacha!

Although lately it feels that, in my current state, I can keep staying clean indefinitely and relatively-easily, it is absolutely clear to me that I can never let my guard down. I will forever need to stay focused and actively avoid triggers.

Also, it gives me great pleasure to log in every few days and once again press that "I'm still clean" button on the "Wall of Honor"! May HaShem help me to Bliy Neder continue to update that same status forever!

Finally, I feel that in a certain sense, my terrible Shalom-Bayit situation -- which is effectively forcing me to (at least for now) accept a long-term prospect of celibacy -- is actually making my challenge easier. That is because I seem to have reached the point that my libido is almost dead  -- AKA the "flatline" effect.

I imagine that if, BeEzrat HaShem, things get better at home and I will once again be able to resume intimacy, that the challenge of constantly switching between "Mutar" and "Asur" periods will be MUCH more difficult!

B"H, successfully reached my medium-range goal of 180 days! 

Very amused by the official proclamation of "Tzadik Gamur," now at Level 9 on the "Wall of Honor"! Haha! Nothing like a good laugh to celebrate this joyous day! 

Now, on to my newly-adjusted medium-range goal of 360 days! 

Tzadik Gamur You make us proud!!!!

 

I need to update the "Success stories" in the Towing page, and include you honor!

Did you see Nofap was mentioned in yesterday's email?

Thanks! And no, I did not notice, but Bliy Neder I will check. 

Mazal Tov and congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!
You are an inspiration. May you see only continued success!

I'm sorry to hear your in a rut, I know what you're suffering and it can be hell, perhaps this important link in the B&B may be helpful

Does this Kunena-based website allow regular users to embed images?

I ask because, so far, in my attempts to test the "PMO Tracker app" that can be accessed at http://pmo-tracker.appspot.com, it seems that I am unable to display images:

OTOH, I do seem to be able to display this screen-capture on Imgur.com:

Apparently only png or jpg images work here, i tested for you...

I don't think that this is the issue, as the images generated by pmo-tracker.appspot.com are indeed PNG images.

It seems that, for some reason, the GYE website's coding does not properly display these counter-images, as served by the PMO Tracker app [url=pmo-tracker.appspot.com/img?u=4804316074344448]image1[/url], image2, & image3], in the final view shown to visitors. However, the problem seems to be with the GYE website and not with the app, because:

1. the GYE website does display these counters while I edit my post, before I press "submit."
2. other websites, such as the NoFap.com forum, do properly display these counters.

On the other hand, similar images, as served by Imgur.com, are displayed correctly.

The Nofap 'counter' image is not static as you can see its url doesn't end in jpg etc. Why it shows in preview mode beats me, but I'd be quite sure it cannot display without the Nofap website's internal coding

its amazing. When I read this thread i feel like i am reading a foreign language. Maybe Ill join a spanish group

Neither is the Imgur.com URL, and so the issue is clearly not "static-vs-dynamic."

FYI: pmo-tracker.appspot.com is a "totally independent project," not associated with any specific forum or website. Although many people on NoFap use it, it is not a NoFap-specific tool. (And the fact that the GYE site does manage to show it in preview mode just proves that the issue is with what and how the GYE site shows in non-preview mode.)
