    I am on day 5 but coincidentally my goal was to make it to June 19th as a first milestone. Reading your thread gave me a lot of motivation. Personally I'm just sick of numbing my desires with PMO and abstaining from it has helped me focus on more important things like improving myself to gain what I don't have, which PMO just numbed the desire and lack of having it.

    Keep going strong bro Im sure many people here are looking up to you right now.
     
  2. @335imob that's amazing and humbling to hear from you! Thank YOU bro :)

    Just now I thought to myself "I'd like to look at some pics of women in skimpy outfits". This isn't Fap for me... But it's a slippery slope. So I'm now writing this instead, and then I'm going to bed soon.

    Something that I'm finding really empowering is having 100% access to the Internet on my laptop and iPhone. I can now look at whatever I want, and the amazing thing is, because I'm trusting myself, I don't really want to look at anything.

    Trust yourself guys: we all have the power in ourselves to love ourselves.
     
  3. Isn't the brain a funny thing. Today I've been working from home as broadband is being installed after not having any for a month. I've got a little bit of cabin fever and a little voice in my head said "Oh, it's a good thing, as now I can check for porn quicker".

    WTF!!!!

    I'm really glad I can observe this craziness, and then as soon as I see this flash across my synapses, I pop open NoFap, and post to you guys!

    Keep it strong brothers and sisters, the light is shining on us all :)

    Love, A

  4. This morning I woke up early, and had for quite a long time what is often known as a 'morning glory'. The good news is that my mind was drifting to fantasies of engaging with real life women (rather than the fetishistic fantasies that I used to encounter). The great news is that I didn't act on my physical desire, and part of the reason was I feel accountable to you guys!

    Thanks to everybody that is on NoFap, and especially those who've created it in helping me recover :)

  5. Just had a great evening out: a choir rehearsal followed by drinks in a bar. Conversation got onto all things Fap, and I remembered that often the night that I would be most likely to Fap, would be a Thu, as I'd have had a similar experience of feeling connected, and then gone home to an empty flat. Because I'd feel empty in myself, I would then turn to fap as a way of trying to fill the hole that I felt inside of me.

    Now I know that I'll go home, brush my teeth, and go to bed. And it feels great :)

    I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to share with you as it means that I can recognise that I will trust myself to take care of myself.

  7. I havent posted here in a while.I had a relapse almost a week ago and binged until I was sore down there.That right there in that moment just confirmed that I have a serious problem and its not going to go away anytime soon if I keep letting my guard down.Tomorrow will make a week since I last went on Nofap and No masturbation and I have a feeling that this will be my longest streak ever.I will be back next week to inform you of my progress.

  8. Well done @The 1000 Water Fists and @betteringmyself
    Hope you are both still on track!
    It's an inspiration to have each other to stay strong :)
    I've been procrastinating some of my work, and I'm now sitting in the office on my own at nearly 8pm. This would have been prime ground for me to Fap historically, but as soon as that came to mind for me, I chose to immediately boot up NoFap and post to you.
    I just need to remind myself that I'm doing brilliantly... I'm 65 days clean and it is still a day at a time :)
    Love you guys!!!

  12. It's definitely not too late to join... every day is a step on our journey @thebishone. Welcome!!!
     
  13. @The 1000 Water Fists - completely agree that it isn't possible to go back to the past. There is only one reality that is the present. And in this present I'm clean and NoFap!!!

    Love, Adam

    I'm looking to start too!

    I'd like to start on June 1st, only thing is that I'm taking the LSAT on June 8th and I don't really know where I'm gonna be at mentally...

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

  18. @LookingForGains88 Great that you want to start, and I'd suggest you trust yourself that you will deal with whatever comes up for you. We all have inner reserves of strength that we sometimes lose connection with... so my question to you is what helps you stay in connection with that inner strength?
     
  19. I'm checking in, as I'm being slightly triggered by something. I'm posting to a LinkedIn business forum, and one of the other people who is also posting has a name similar to a porn star that I used to watch. I'm finding there is a part of my brain which is immediately imagining this person. It's surprisingly powerful.

    This also demonstrates to me just how important it is for me to be on NoFap, and committed to no porn and no solo masturbation until June 20th... and I know I'll need at least another 90 days after that before my brain can encounter something similar... and NOT be triggered :)

  20. I just want to celebrate how long I've been NoFap. I often find it easy to be self critical and judge myself harshly. Today I woke up early and felt a little down.

    I still don't feel amazing, but I also know that I'm DOING amazing, as I've been NoFap for so long and I know that it will continue.

    This is such a fantastic indicator that my life is good in this moment and continuing to go in the right direction :)

    Thank you all for being witness to my journey
