On day 7 now (1am in UK here) I hope to see ya'll around the forums still, it's been a crazy intense 7 days but I definitely notice a difference - I just feel more "present". To the rest of you battling - three tips I can give you that helped me reach to this point. 1. POST in the Forum thread here and make a journal - seriously - this was the BIGGEST aspect that kept me on point. I began looking forward to making a post about update/progress and be sure to LIKE or comment on others - it keeps you in the "community" and provides support to others. Felt really good seeing people like your posts - you feel noticed, accountable. 2. INSTALL New Tab and BlockSite to your Chrome browser if you use Chrome or an equivalent. New Tab means each time I open a new tab on chrome I have it set to open NoFap Forums - like a mantra to remember what I am trying not to do. BlockSite I use (and is suggested by NoFap in threads actually) to help prevent going to Fap inducing websites. 3. Listening to Female/Male Hypnosis Sleep audio. Plenty on YouTube I suggest Fiona ClearWater, Rapunzel and some others you'll find on there or search for ASMR. Basically, when you listening to them with Headphones on - it creates 3D audio like the person is there with you. I would listen to "head rubbing/scratching" to "bedtime stories" and stuff, it sounds odd, but seriously at night looking forward to curling up and listening to someone "close" by if you're single or partner is not there - it's healthy as it is not P and because you get sleepy you actually feel more real than you'd imagine. Play around with the audio's I found them a great help. I leave this thread later today confident and charged up ready to push on. The urges are still there, but I look forward to FEELING them now rather than ACTING on them with myself. Thank you!
Challenge 1 complete! I would love to be added to the wall of fame, and I'll see you all at the 14 day challenge!
Day 2 morning....yesterday I one of my friends tried to show me lap dance video but i said no... Going good.. Going great
Four days total, two days in the challenge. "No one expects our lives to be easy: not in this decade, not in this century." --JFK
Day 6 done. Being with others all the time is helpful. Not alone much the last two days and it's been good
Day 7 done. This is the farthest I've gone in a long time and surprisingly it wasn't that difficult. I no longer spend so much time on social media (to look at girls) and I keep myself busy. Good luck to everybody else.
Day 6 Completed My flatline continues, but only during the day. At night I wake up with an erection. My little friend began to awaken from his sleeping flatline. I restricted my aimless clicks on the internet. I decided to sit on the computer only when I had to do something meaningful or work, like writting this post
Day 4: done. Day 5: In progress... Had a morning wood this morning. First one in a long time so Reboot is clearly working. I'm so excited...
Day 3 done. Keeping busy through the day was the key. To complete day 4 i have decided to take a long run. Keep on, buddies.
Day 7 started. Today I'm going to the gym, because I need a habit to keep me going on and I have more energy since I stopped PMO. I never thought that this forum can help, but it did, so I'm very grateful for this guys. Thank you very much for the support!
I'm waiting for my counter to update haha. 3rd day of this completed. Cold showers are giving me the discipline to carry on, even as the weather becomes harsher. I will have under 6 hours of sleep tonight, on a day where I had a full-body workout. Tomorrow is a new life. Every day is a new life. This life of mine is about to end as I rehearse death in sleep. Every day I try to think of it as my last day. I don't want to spend it PMO'ing.
Thanks mate.... Will try to focus more before starting a challenge.... Next aim would be to aim small hit small
relapsed.. guys I've to begin again... but i controlled myself for porno.. i did masturbate but without porno.. i will continue without P..
