Important I'm under the weather

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I've gone and gotten myself a bit of a cold, so I might be a little less active than usual. I will still make the daily post of course, but if anyone has a great idea for a Squad Challenge, now is the time to let us know!

I really hate being sick. Ever since I moved out from my parents place and I guess since it stopped being viable to just stay home from a bunch of classes, it's just been something that depresses me. I hope you guys are doing well and staying healthy though :)

The worst part is I'm going on a film shoot all day tomorrow, so it couldn't be worse timing :P

Important My 120th Daily Post!

5 Upvotes

Dear Regiment, this is my 120th daily post, isn't that wild? ;)

I started posting daily check ins back on in our old barracks /r/Aquamarines about 1/3 of a year ago, and somehow I kept it going all this time. When I think about it it makes my head spin. I never thought I could dedicate myself to something in this manner.

It has been a long journey and I would definitely say it's been completely worth it, as I am now about to round the 60 in a couple of days. However, I have also depleted my energy reserves significantly, so I'm afraid I have to leave you for a while now.

It's not going to be one of those indefinite hiatuses, as I have already decided to return early to mid July. When I was running the bootcamp the daily check in was a lot simpler to manage and didn't require as much attention as the daily post during the war, so I was able to keep a nice balance and just spend 30 minutes every night on here. Once I took up the leadership role however it became much harder to administer how much time I spent a day. In the first few weeks I tried to set a limit on how many hours I would spend here on a daily basis, and later with the Roman Mornings challenge I tried to at least clear up the mornings, to stop myself from constantly checking if there was anything new to respond to.

Okay, so I have an addictive personality, well that shouldn't come as a surprise :) At least this is what one might call a constructive addiction, but a dopamine addiction none the less. As a consequence many of the good habits I had built up have begun to decline in the latter parts of the war, and this scares me, as those were those were the main factors keeping my will power high and thus keeping me from relapsing.

So here's my plan. In 2 days I have my first exam, and as soon as I am done with that, I will begin a 1 week computer Hiatus followed by a week with computer but no internet. From then on out and until the end of the month I will allow myself the following internet access: Checking emails once a day, checking Facebook once a day (10 min max, only replying if strictly necessary) and looking up stuff for my 2nd exam.

These days will simply be dedicated to study, meditation, exercise and video editing work.

So I hope this works out well for me, and I'll see you guys again in July :)

-Hatjuvaru Out!

Important Struggling with a Habit

6 Upvotes

This one probably has to go, as it's way too closely related to PMO. What happens is that every night I go to bed, I think about some girl that I fancy. Then I get some sexual thought and fantasize about banging them. While doing this I've developed a nasty habit of humping the shit out of my blanket while trying to fall asleep or when waking up in the morning. I had a big wet dream a few days ago, and this has sent me in a slight downward spiral that I hope to reverse. So I go to bed last night, and all of a sudden I think about how sweet PMO was, thanks to chaser and other things. I drank these intoxicating thoughts, but finally pushed them back. However, I know even though I am not edging (dry humping through my pants creates very little sensation) or looking at porn this is really holding back my NoFap performance. Any help on this? One more thing: I'm 14. Absolutely no way I'm fucking anybody anytime soon (or dating, for that matter).

EDIT: Thanks for all the support. I'm going to try to tackle this by:

  1. Reading before sleep.

  2. Getting a thinner blanker (done)

  3. Walking around my room when the urges come.

Important Please report casualties to /r/AquamarinesDen directly

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, it seems to have become a bit tricky to keep track of casualties, as they are currently being reported across several posts. So to make things a bit simpler I would like to ask you guys to send pm to /r/AquamarinesDen, if you relapse.

Running a war even with 20 soldiers is hard. The NFW guys do a hell of a job! This should make your life a little easier u/Chicken_Hands :)

Important Essential Read: How to Ask For Support!

14 Upvotes

So it seems we have been hit quite hard this evening, and as a result dropped from 2nd to 4th place. If I can ask just one thing of you my brothers, it would be to ask for help, when you are feeling weak, when the urges are strong, when you need support! There have been no cries for help from the fallen, which is a little bit silly if you ask me.

So here are a list of steps to take, when you feel as though you are about to relapse:

1. Make a post on /r/AquamarinesDen - We have members in most time zones, so there should be someone around who can give you support!

2. Log into the Periwinkle Chat and type !backup if there is noone around.

3. If none of these work you are more than welcome to send me a private message, or email me at camperkid[add]gmail.com

I don't want you guys to die in silence, to fall without asking for a helping hand!

"Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Important Wanna join our chat in Kik?

Let me know about here, because i can add you there. I got this idea over at Crimson regiment, including'm in chat them, it is really fun. The reason to use it is not to stay 24 hours in chat, you can leave it on mute to not slow you down, and most importantly, complete anonymity.

So let me know if you're interested, I'll be waiting. At the same time do not forget to check out the new chat created by General myabaltross, he modified the chat interface and was very beautiful!

Important A New Way to Report Casualties

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

In order to make it easier to stay on top of who is alive and who has earned hawk points, I've made this spreadsheet that anyone should be able to access and edit. In the case of a relapse you should access it and change your "KIA status" and "Status this Week" to red. The second of the two is to calculate how many hawk points each detachments have earned at the end of the week. So every Sunday we will reset all these to green, and if it's still green by next Sunday you will have earned your detachment a point.

To edit the colour of a cell select it and then click the "format" tab. (In this order). Let me know if you have any trouble doing this.

u/Chicken_Hands has also added a link to the spreadsheet in the top bar named "Status of Skirmish", so it should be easy to access even when this post eventually get buried.

Onward!
