Day 18: Wow yesterday was too difficult...I started Masturbating and then I was like what the shit I am doing.....washed my face with cold water...calmed my mind...felt proud...and then decided that I have to cut down on soft erotica content that is coming to me...so less YouTube from today... Today was ok... Monday are always good...hard work at office...no time no thought NoFap...
Day 19: easy day for me.....quiet day....I'm observing that my hornyness index is increasing. I get a hard on atleast once a day without porn and no effort like my dick is lets do something so it gets a hard on but i'm rigid on the thought that I will not give u masturbation. I'm honestly feeling much better psychologically. Its a calmer me plus I have so much time that I can read all the books watch all the motivational video and see all the movies that were pending.
@meganmcc happens from day 7-15 .... slowly the brain adapts....just pass the phase without giving up... But I'm getting motivation seeing u fight .I believe we 2 can have a last person standing contest ... .
Hey all, can I kindly join in? I'm placing my turkey into a freezer deep under a glacier. I've done a clean streak a couple months ago, reaching 55 days no porn, not even touching myself. I think I've recovered from the relapse and want to join back in. Goal is 90 no edging or orgasm, and no porn for a year, for now. I think I'm more addicted to the visuals in porn, I'm ready to let that fade away now. Porn hasn't really changed much anyway, I didn't miss out on anything, so don't worry about it, it's not as good as your mind wants you to think it is, enjoy the cleaner conscience!
You are always welcome....we always motivate one another to keep walking on this which makes it a success
Sometimes I feel guilty....I'm so fickle minded where my mind wants to feel that orgasm and I'm asking people to stick to nofap....it is difficult to resusr the urges when I'm alone at night and morning....got to figure out a solution and internet is not one of them
I went cold turkey completely as well, was the best decision I made. I'm now on day 13 and noticing that I'm actually starting to get wood again(not amazing wood, but miles better than I did before), which is pretty good for me, considering it was like flogging a dead horse previously
Day 20-21: good to see moving into the 20's it feels like I had fapped couple of years back...I'm starting to forget how orgasm felt like...Today was filled with emotions I was angry frustrated at whatever was happening at job....came back from home...but did not think about fapping....also I'm having a positive outlook towards stress...I have started to believe that stress brings the best out of us and it is good to be in stress
I too feel but i dont want to be a crybaby and say i relapsed here....i will decide when i want to cum and I will do it with pride and 21 day is not the day maybe 50 maybe 100 not before that....you can also think like this....it will give the fighting spirit
Good luck bro! It's not easy to quit. But you can do it. I also quit cold turkey. I like the quite cold turkey strategy. For me, masturbation is a trigger for PMO so it was more reason to quit cold turkey. Identifying and eliminating all my triggers where possible was the best thing I ever did. Some example triggers I identified include -masturbation -sitting at my computer in my underwear -the door closing when I'm the last person in the house there are many more but I'm short on time. Now instead of my brain skipping the identification of my triggers, I see them clearly and it gives me the option to make a choice. And I've been choosing alternative options to porn ever since! Going on a walk, reading, playing sports etc. Choose the good life! Say goodbye to porn! You can do it!
Yeah I was going for hard PMO ...I have not masturbated but have seen porn on occasions...trying to avoid...I need to figure out my triggers ..it's mostly when I wake up I want it....and mostly boring weekends...
day 22: urges were very high on day 21 ....day 22 was ok...but the weekend awaits. I will have to resist all urges and this will be the toughest weekend
Day 24: So the weekend is almost over and I have not masturbated. I have survived another week....I'm now a bit depressed and uneasy and frustrated ....maybe these are withdrawl symptoms...i'm going running these days to get rid of the extra energy and it helps...urges are high and I don't know what to do...but I know one thing that the darker the hours mean the dawn is near.....hope I survive this dark night...
Day 25: Busy day but i feel i wont last long in this journey...I watched a cam show and was going to cum when i suddenly stopped...slapped myself and became normal...With current event i dont feel i can last long...
Wow, Your journey is great, keep going man your strong enough to reach 90 days and more. I've just started mine 6 days ago and surprisingly I don't have that strong desire to return to the dirty stuff. I tried many times before coming here and within3 or 4 days my urges become so high that I couldn't be more patient and relapses. and who relapsed, doesn't matter , your mission now is not to desperate, Start your counter again and read the stories of the successful ones and you'll find that they have experienced hard times even more than yours and make those reading as your motivation for the upcoming period. We are strong and We are capable of handling our life so well.
