Welcome to your first step in becoming an adult man.
Thanks Guys!
At first, I was afraid, I was just throwing a hissy fit but I'm glad that its working and I cant wait to see how I will end up over the rest of the 4 months.
When the program starts taking effect, it will always produce a strong sense of frustration if you are starting from the bottom. It is basically making you aware that you deserve to be treated well, and if you are not being treated well, you will find yourself increasingly upset until you start setting boundaries. That upset and frustration, and sometimes anger, is what it takes to get you to start setting those boundaries instead of just being a doormat and putting up with other people's shit. The program is getting you to consider yourself, increase your self respect, self esteem and sense of self worth to healthy levels. When that happens, but your external reality does not match, it produces the upset that gets you to make the changes externally that you need to make to accomplish the internal changes outside yourself. As Ben said, people will try to push you back into your hole. Don't let them.
AAM7/AM7-Stage 0-Day 8:
welp last night was interesting..
Its clear that I move during my sleep but I still had my mobile with my luckly enough.
Little context: I put my Mobile aside from my pillow and wore my sleeping mask.
by the time, I woke up, My sleeping mask was aside my Pillow and my mobile was next to me
Wich made my worries side of my personality freak out that I messed up
However my confident side seemed to calm it down and the fact that my body always give a tinglely feeling also confirmed it for me
Also, once I woke up, I looked at my playlist and saw the 4 loops were done and I closed the app
I guess, I also turned my volume to 0 haha xD..
Anyway the interesting part is that my insecure self and my confident self were having a battle about whether I messed up this night or not..
The Fact that this happend in the first place, was already confirmation that I did fully succeeded.
Also Later my Body got so energized that I could no longer sleep, Not even with Fapping..
So yeah, that was a little downside but it sure was an interesting event.
And Another proof that I'm Actually changing and at quite a nice pace as well!
AAM7/AM7-Stage 0-Day 24:
I start to walk the cross road without having to run, Sure sometimes I got the old habbit back but it has reduced by alot
For context: in my early 20s, I got almost run over by a police car, not close behind me on the crossroad.
That Reckless behaviour makes me assume that the first police car was stolen by someone and that the second car tried to get it back..
Anyway.., it resulted in me running over cross roads, I guess I started to assosiate it with danger.
Also: I started to eat less, Spend less money (wich I have to because otherwise I cant buy stage 1-7 and I dont know if the discount still works when you buy the stages separately, Hence why I still haven't asked for Stage 0 discount) and to reduce my fapping.
I know trying to reduce 3 things at the same time might be hard to do but I still have to do them though..
I'm still not addicted to excersising though
If you're due the price reduction, why didn't you just ask if it applies?

I kinda assumed that the discount only applied to the 0-7 or 1-7 sets and not separately..
hehe..
My bad..
also I was hoping that I could buy 1-7 in one go but is not going to happen sadly enough..
it's kinda funny how the fear of coming across as a dumbass, actually makes me a dumbass..

First, you are still quick to entirely unnecessary, and overly harsh, self judgement. Let that go. You've learned to treat yourself the way others have treated you, which is being self destructive that way. You deserve to treat yourself better than that.
Second, repeat after me: "Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups."
If you purchased the previous set at full price, then you are due the 50% price reduction loyalty benefit for the current set. That includes Stage 0. We can make you a gift certificate for that amount, which you can apply towards another stage, or the set as a whole. But you will need to provide Ben with your order number(s) to prove your eligibility.
Okay, I sended a PM to Ben : )
AAM7/AM7-Stage 0- Month 2-Day 13:
I noticed that my memories start to improve, as I can recall things alot easier now : )
Also, I'm getting better about telling others how I feel when it comes to being sick, as I'm useally filled with shame and guilt when its no longer as bad as it used to be..
For context: Saterday I had problems with my stomach that only showed up in the night and Saterday evening, Yesterday it was better but felt like it wasn't fully over, untill around 5PM.
Normally I would have been to ashamed about that because well: first I had somewhere to go yesterday that I had to cancel and 2 it always made me feel like I was either lying or
exaggerating, this time though, I just followed how my stomach felled no questions asked : )
(edit: I also predicted that I would throw up, way sooner than I actually did it, than I would have in the past)
Keep growing and making progress.
AAM7/AM7-Stage 0- Month 3-Day 10:
Sigh.., I'm getting annoyed at social media.., I feel like its still controlling me and putting me against other group of people.., wich doesn't fit a future AAM.. (Okay it actually does but I'm getting tired and annoyed of it..,I dont wanna live in fear anymore..).
I do feel more positive walking on the street and get better at solving my problems, like how I was able to buy the entire set and still have enough money for the rest of the month
Also, my therapist recommended me to use: Ozempic in order to lose weight.., does anyone have expirience with this and is this safe?
Because I felt like it was a bad choice when she recommended me to use it, I dont want to burn my bones or other nasty side effects..
It also feels like it would defeat one of the points of AAM7, To do things the hard way...
AAM7/AM7-Stage 0- Month 3-Day 14:
Huh, this is one of these rare moments that I still remember part of my dreams..
It was about me being inside a very uncomfortable house, as in the guy I lived in felt dangerous and for some reason I was thinking about cutting my penis of a few times..
It was weird but after finding out the meaning of thinking about cutting your penis off.
I found out that it was related to AAM7.. since its main theme are helplessness and masculinity and feeling powerless...
so It could be my subconcious trying to resist it and lose?
Huh, interesting. Definitely seems on brand from a masculinity subliminal. Get ready for all kinds of intense dreams. In this last month of stage 0 I'm getting them basically every night. Some of the most intesnse ones I've experienced in a long time all in a row.
