Hi All, Today is my 9th day of PM and I'm trying my best to achieve 90 days. Since morning, I have some sort of anxiety and my thoughts are pushing me to masturbate and watch porn which will end up with instant gratification. I'm aware of the dangers of instant gratification (this is why I started NoFap PM) and I really want to achieve 90 days, a reset that will make me fell more worthy, self disciplined and respect myself more and more. So, here I'm.
Although it's just my opinion but I think if you keep counting the days left instead of the days passed, you are encouraging negative positivity (I'm not sure if it's even a term). You should be happy about the number of days you've abstained rather than counting down the number of days to freedom, lol
Agreed. Be happy for the days you've already acomplished. Each day is a victory. Focus in your new habits. If you did not think about those yet, you should consider new healthy habits! Dont focus too much in the number 90, your change is for your entire life going forward! Congrats, stay strong!
Although I agree with not counting the days, I have to count. The reason behind count is making it more scalable and achievable. I will keep counting until I really really don't need it anymore. And as far as I see, it's working for me. Thanks for the nice comments and this is my 48th day.
Healthier mentality in my opinion https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/seven-days-now-what.183685/#post-1566190
You can still count if you want but keep the mentality of "Today is all that matters" I'd still say its bad but you can do both. Though what do mean when you say scalable? Because my point is simply have the mentality "Getting through today is all that matters. The past and future don't matter to me. Just gotta get through today" Its not "Stay clean forever" its simply the current day, nothing more.
Keep it up everyone. I’m abstained 12 days going into 13. Out of interest, has anyone here experienced dizziness - like your going to faint from going no PMO? Or has anyone experienced minor headaches? Just a couple of symptoms I’ve been having. The worst symptom I’ve had of them all is anxiety/panic. But that is usually first thing in the morning.
Finally I'm at 109 days. My plan is to reach 180 days. I dated 4 girls within a month, found a new and better job, permanent contract, feeling great and now I can lift double of my weight on deadlift (350lbs). So, who reads this, DON'T GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP! No, I never had these. Maybe it differs person to person. Good luck mate.
