Time away from nofap = relapse. Join us for a 30day challenge starting today

Some urges today, so came back here to improve my focus.

 

Hey @Amarion remind yourself why you are doing this, there is nothing to gain from relapse even though your addicted brain will be trying to convince you of the opposite, be strong

@Christianteen how’s it going?

 

Day 12

Nearly at 2 weeks and feeling good

I know that sudden relapses out of nowhere are possible at this point, so I am very careful to avoid that

Meditation helps

It feels good to know that life can be this way, without shame, guilt, pure freedom

 

I have noticed that at different lengths of nofap, different thoughts and feelings come up. I am good at dealing what comes up upto 2 weeks, but after that some of my deeper issues come up. This is telling me that if I don’t face them I will relapse again. I am determined to face all my demons on this journey as I feel I am now strong and upto the challenge. I have learnt many things from all my previous relapses.

 

I am good, when I get stressed, I feel urges coming along and realise they are just a coping mechanism, and I look to do other things to help me cope

 

Fantasising about porn, girls etc is a way to escape the reality of what I have to do today. I have a girlfriend so should focus all my sexual energy on her and get on with other stuff I need to do the rest of the time.

 

Day 13

Almost 2 weeks

I feel like I am doing well

No morning erections yet, maybe I am in a kind of flatline

I am finding better ways of dealing with stressful situations

 

Hey guys, I think it would be useful if we posted at least one reason for doing this challenge everyday

 

One more night and I will be on day 14

 

I have noticed what happens in a relapse.

I feel depressed/anxious/nervous

I look for a way to distract from the emotion

This starts with

Tv then escalates to dating sites

Then to contacting ex girlfriends

Then to fantasising about sex

Etc.

So far I have been able to keep it at tv without any escalation. But I almost contacted an ex with the thought of sexting, and came here to get rid of that thought.

 

Finally 14 days, 2 weeks,

I am very happy to have achieved this!
