How to be celibate for one year
It made me
proud 
"actually it's getting closer to two. after being in a relationship my entire adult life, it's actually been a welcome break. initially it was not, but i am SO glad now. "
How I did it: by NOT doing it!! omg, they are making me write more. well, ummm. move away from the person you tend to do it with and don't do it with the people in the new place. really do i have to say anymore. umm be disciplined. be happy you can look yourself in the mirror knowing you aren't just giving it away to anyone. i don't know. it's going to be different for everyone.
Lessons & tips: hmmm, it's such a personal thing. you need to decide if it's what you want. i don't think it's for everyone.
People doing this are also doing these things:

In about seven days I will have reached four months of celibacy Again, I am doing this in order to devote all my sexual/love energy to developing my ability to have a deeper relationship with another. While I do have desires, I have yet to come across one that would be worth anything to act upon. Usually to stop myself from falling into old habits I ask myself. ” And then what ?” under normal circumstances that question is sufficient to bring tensions back down. I know this journey is worth it and I know when the time is right someone will come along to help me into my next journey towards giving and receiving love.

Ten more to go. I have a bunch of reading to do about sex, and I hope to read a book a month on the subject.
Heading into month two
23 months ago
I am going strong. Not that I have had temptation, but I am learning about sex and having a healthy view of sex in my life. I thought that I knew it all when it came to what I wanted and needed sexually. This time to reflect on sex has showed me that there are still so many things I want to try.
Kegel Exercises

I think the intent behind this goal is really to develope a healthier sex life. For a year, I am going to do all I can to learn from sex while abstaining from sex. I want to become an amazing sex partner. I can do this by doing research and my KEGEL excercises LOL. I heard 100 or more a day can greatly improve ability to control orgasms. Hopefully I will be up to 300-500 per day by years end. I further want to study tantra, taoist sexual philosophy and the karma sutra. I want to be all that I can be in the bed.
Being celibant isnt about doing the puritanical chastity thing. I think sex is a divine expression of life. I think that celibacy is more so about being able to control the flow of our sexual energy. Now off to a day of working my PC muscles out.
One Month
23 months ago
I can log one month on this goal. My voluntary celibacy has to do with my desire to learn better relationship skills rather than base all my romantic relationships on sex. I hope that I learn to live without sex in the long run.
damn it!

the love of my life and i got back together
so i failed this one miserably.
HOWEVER
i was serious and it kept me from doing anything stupid
which, lets face it, tends to happen when you’re drinking and heartbroken
so all in all i dont feel like a complete failure.

i have serious reasons for this that i may or may not ever feel like sharing
but i will say
that putting this out there as a personal goal
makes people who previously expressed no interest in you
adopt making you crack as THEIR personal goal
lol
crazy but true.
