    I started watching P at age 12. My cousin introduced me to it. I quickly became addicted and spent 8 years destroying my inner self. 127 days ago I decided to quit. It was much easier than expected.

    What I did can be broken down into a few stages. Some I did consciously, some not:

    1- I consciously wanted to quit; completely and fully. I wasn't on the fence but clearly in my mind said I want to quit. I also didn't push quitting off into the future but did it on the day.

    2- I decided to quit: I said in my mind, 'I've quit.' I said it in a confident way, almost nonchalantly like it was easy. I didn't allow my mind to tell me quitting was difficult.

    3- With my mind in check I took physical action: I stopped watching tv, using the Internet (in my bedroom), watching movies, I switched to an old school mobile phone, basically I cut off every single avenue of entertainment except books (which were clean).

    4- I made a small sheet with numbers on it and I started counting off the days.

    5- I would set mini goals, I would say Ok my goal is to get to 7 days, then 14 etc. I'm on 127 now . When I would reach my goal I would make sure to feel really good about myself :)

    6- well that was it really.

    FAQ

    Did I M in this time?
    Yes but only to imagination. Im quitting M now, I'm on day 4 :)

    Do I still feel urges to watch P? No, but sometimes if I don't guard my eyes when I'm outside and allow my self to become aroused, I do have urges to look at beautiful women. So the key is lower your gaze and feel sorry for the women (who you should see as your sisters or mothers) who have to dress that way in order to increase their feeling of self worth.

    If you have any questions, please ask.

    Sorry to say but masturbating to fantasies is not different from masturbating to porn so you are on day 4 not 127.

    It's called NOFAP. Not No P and carrying on M by using imagination. Sorry but I think you're lying to yourself. I'm only on day 34 but honestly that's still better than 127 becuase I haven't M nor fantasised.

    At least you're being honest about your goals. Are you being honest with you? If you feel this is a success, then it's a success. Although, I wonder if you really had a problem to begin with. And if you really needed nofap. Surely, you didn't need an AP. Congratulations on reaching your goal.

    Great job man, 127 days without watching P is very impressive, I don't care if you used imagination, thats awesome. Using imagination is way healthier than scanning the internet for the perfect scene all day. Good luck quitting M :)

    I don't think it's going to help you if you use porn in your imagination. A 90 day reset without MO or PMO is the best option IMO. If you're just quitting porn, your mind will still hold those images and you'll think about them whenever you start fantasizing while masturbating.

    Easiest way to quit is having a partner to recover with. That and staying actI've on forums and using other people's success to fuel your own

    Yeah, im sure having someone to encourage you along the road is v helpful.

    And definitely.

    Also, I spend like five minutes each morning on the df emergency button, even though(thank God) I don't feel any urges

    @ThePoet it realy is the biggest aid towards recovery. it realy gives the ultimative, and motive behind why we want to quit all together.

    If it wasn't for finding a partner, I'm not even going to lie, I most likely wouldn't of lasted the 90 day challenge.


    Oh and never touch, and stroke your dick. Absolutely don't... A sure way to relapse.

    Congrats man. What was your motivation to quit porn? I personally can only get up to porn as imagination doesnt work anymore. Once it does I'll consider that progress. I'm ending my day 3 today. I did 7 days starting a week ago saturday but relapsed saturday night. I'm very dissappointed in myself which gives me motivation to make this work.

  20. Congrats on making it to the triple digits brother. Keep on improving yourself.

    I've gone cold turkey, no PMO at all in a month. I've done my best to control my urges. Great way to prevent yourself from arousal from seeing other women, in my case if I saw a pretty lady I'd feel attracted, but I'll look at her as living, breathing, person with hopes, dreams and aspirations, not just a sex object. I put that in mind whenever I feel the arousal creeping in. It's helped me out.
