Join me: Rebooting to June 20 - 90 days!

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by AdamPeterWUK, Mar 22, 2015.

  1. Who's going to join me to join me doing NoFap until June 20th? I've just been inspired to do NoFap as I watched a great TEDx by a guy called Gary Wilson about how porn affects the brain (it's 15min well spent on YouTube).

    I'm going to do 90 days of no sexual gratification apart from with a woman. This includes any masturbation, any porn and any paying for sex.

    I've had enough of the effects that porn has had on my life.

    I've made a choice to be a 'clean' and happy human, who is leading a good life and contributing to the people around me!

    ps I'm also doing #100HappyDays on Facebook too!
     
  2. I've already passed 3 weeks and suffering frequent, unwanted erections along with sexual frustration hell. You can keep saying "I'll do 90 days!" I have seen many who say that on this forum. How about you prepare for the first weeks of those 90 days in case you bring down the planned 90 days to 60 days, and then to 2 weeks.

    First, pass 3 weeks and tell me if you are still alive. After I started withdrawing from assuming the role of an angel, I wanted to kill myself from depression and listlessness. A decade of PMO does not only rewire the brain — but completely fried up my brain.

    I was not prepared for the withdrawal symptoms, or the unwanted erections every fucking time I sat down in a vehicle, or dreams about confronting beautiful girls I can only dream of.

    What I'm saying to you is, BE PREPARED FOR A SHOCK AS YOU FORCE YOUR BRAIN AND BODY INTO "NEUTRAL SEXUAL POSITION" AND START PULLING OUT THE WIRES TO REPLUG YOUR BRAIN. You're going to need not only a lot of will-power, determination, foresight and insight, but plenty of struggling and VIOLENT CONFRONTATION OF ANYTHING THAT TRIGGERS or POTENTIALLY TRIGGERS YOUR CURRENT ADDICTION.

    So yeah, good luck dude. I advise you to draw up a timetable during your hard mode so you always keep yourself busy with useful (most especially outdoor) activities — everything from cleaning and tidying your room, to volunteering for the elderly, to hitting the local gym, to going out to the park for a stroll and stretching out there.

    You know what else I can say about fighting your addiction? Use everything around you except the means of addiction (like the laptop, smartphone, iPad, etc) to fight it. I think about realms I never used to conjure in my mind such as volcanoes, dark forests, tropical islands and the Kalahari in order to desert my extraordinary photographic memory of sexual images. For those of you more spiritual or religiously concerned, you'll also start to think more vividly about the Afterlife.

  3. Hey AdamPeterWUK, I relapsed today and I'm aiming for 90 days as well! June 20 it is! No P, no M, no O. And I'm too young to be considering sex anyways. :p

    But don't aim for 90 days right at the starting point, set small milestones. First week, first month, 50%... keep chasing the small goals and you'll lead your way to 90 slowly, I tried rushing the 90 days after a big mistake (reached 96 and fell like shit) and I'm not doing well at all.

    Once you get pass the usual relapse period for you (first week for me), you'd have broken the barrier and things will get much easier. Then you just focus on reaching those milestones, keep that stable position and you'll be fine. :D

    Good luck man!

    I'm a noob here but I feel I can do this . I have relapsed twice in March but I used to edge and look at P .
    Now I'm going P free , M free and O free . I'll keep my counters low though ...
    Good luck for everyone
     
  5. Everybody: I'm also adding into my 90 day commitment that I don't visit any venue where sex is freely available.

    Shadowscholar: wise words. My intention is to take each day at a time. So after 2 weeks I'll be very happy to have not masturbate'd! My commitment to myself is 90 days, and I actually feel that I'll need up to a year to completely re-wire my brain to a healthy state.

    Musta and Kallosthenos: fantastic to have to be on this journey with you!

    I'm new to the forum as well. Today I completed my 7-day no PMO challenge. I'd be glad to join you, but first I will complete the 30 day challenge and then the 90-day challenge. In my opinion, it's better to set up small goals and then make them bigger. Setting long-term goals right off the bat may actually make you fall into PMO again.

    Count me in. I discovered NoFap about 9 months ago and I've been trying to quit PMO a few times since but not with much luck. My best effort was 14 days and I relapsed without even a good reason. Luckily I have finally realised how bad my problem is after like 13 years of PMO 7 times a week. Now I feel the time is right, let's do this!
     
  8. Ankur, Cut Fapping and TSPlaya: welcome aboard!

    How is everybody doing. I'm currently doing well. Last night I was home alone with my laptop and iphone and didn't even think about any fapping.

    I'm loving the positivity that this commitment brings to my life!

  9. I am very much determined and focused this time
     
  10. Hi everyone.

    Apologies for not posting more. I composed a post yesterday, but it failed to send. That's the bad news over with tho, as I've had a great week, and I'm looking forward to an enriching and fulfilling weekend.

    I'm dancing tomorrow then going for a dinner in the eve. On Sunday I'm mainly going to be working, but that's a good thing as I'm blessed to have a career that I love.

    How is everybody else doing? If you are struggling, reach out. And even if you are, then try to share a moment of light.
    Love, Adam
     
  11. Ankur, I love your determination!
     
  12. I've done over a week now NoFap! Weekends could be challenging historically. I'm feeling relaxed and present, and long may it continue :)

    How is everybody else doing? Hope it is going well for you all.
