Wassup! Just joined , glad to be in a community where we’re all going for the same goal !! Struggled for years and I’m tired of it ! I’m joining in ! I’m on day 2. Will check in everyday and respond to whoever whenever . Let’s get it
Day 5 now and going well. Such a difference doing this as part of the Nofap community instead of alone. I just saw the quote in your avatar @pak_assassin. There aren't many that are more appropriate to our situation. Nice choice.
I find it helpful to surround myself with people more often , like friends and family to keep your mind off of urges if any one is going through it ! Stay focused on the battle !
This is for sure the case, and even going out will stop urges. Sometimes this isn't possible though, and you gotta fight on against the urges. That's the whole point in having a challenge, hopefully it will provide the necessary motivation to beat the urges when they're at their worst. The idea is at 20 days you will have a bit more control and there is so much to lose from a relapse most people will stop themselves before they do it. Good luck all
Day 5: No relapses or any kind of urge. But, there is a feeling of emptiness. At times I feel like I am not interested in anything around me. Hope it will be alright in few days. Things I have been doing since morning: * Keeping myself occupied through work. * Never allowed my mind to be free. * Started learning a new language (Hindi)
Please try to do some mindfulness exercise. Meditation. Try to focus on the things you are doing right now. I am trying to practice it for some time . It helps.
Day 6: The monster has started to peep in. Have been struggling to kick out the thought of PMO since morning. For the past four days it was calm as an ocean, but the Tsunami has stuck today. The thought of relapsing has been constantly poking my mind. Fighting really hard to keep it at bay. When ever I feel like I want to go back to the PMO, I start diverting my mind (Either I chat with people around me or to the place where I can't be alone). So far a hard fought and successful day. Things I did today: * Continued the practice of meditation * Tried few Kegal exercises * Kept busy throughout the day
The road to moving from active addiction to successful recovering is tough. Especially when your work and comfort revolves around triggers. If sobriety were easy, everybody who wanted to be sober would be. I am keeping up the positivity, and installing confidence in myself to get back on track. I hope you all feel the same, and will do the same. Welcome to day 1-ners, and Congrats 2nds, 3rd, 5th and 7th Fapstronauts.
I think music gives you a good way to get over urges. I mean your favourite song, one that really gets u in the feels, as loud as u can. Puts you in a euphoric mindset that's nice and takes you away from urges. You can keep it up for hours. Music helps
The Mighty Grim, your words installing confidence in me . Thank you for appreciating. It takes a huge heart to do so. You will succeed as well, just have confidence on your willpower. Keep a journal and meet new people. The best is yet to come for you and for everyone.
This. It's how you push through the urges when there's no escaping then. If you're able to do this, you'll succeed in nofap.
Few things I do differently these days 1. If I am alone in home. I will get out. Go for a run or walk or go to a shop. 2. I try to sit in my home office with the doors open. Let people come in. Who cares now 3. I am married and I go to sleep earlier or at the same time as my wife. No more late night porn surfing. 4. I plan ahead for the evening time. Like read a book or take my son out to the park or watch ted talks. This helps me keep busy in the evening rather than surf porn. 5. No more phones to the bathroom. Hope this pointers help my fellow friends as well.
