Read a book on it and its changed my perception of PMO. Stay positive guys and fight the urge with positivity and vigour rather than be scared and nervous. Overcoming it is victory. Once you learn to dismiss the urge youre good for life. Day 2 almost done
Coming up on 48 hours, gonna hit the gym and do some meditation after. It's a long journey though I think documenting it regularly reminds you of your "why".
I'm currently on Day 22, the road has become easy but it wasn't easy at first, . I'm always busy. I spend 25 minutes watching nofap topic on YouTube almost everyday. I almost relapsed on day 18 but my will power has become stronger that I just shut down my device and slept, eliminating social media is really helping me achieve this streak. Now I am looking forward to Day 30. Stay strong guys. Don't be afraid to fail because failure will teach you the most important lessons and realise why you are failing. Once you do that, you will conquer. And another thing that's helping me is that when urges come, I don't fight them, just stay calm and be mindful. Stay strong. Peace.
Guys I'm on day 26. I had a really bad dream last night. I'm feeling super anxious. Can somebody please read my story, the thread is called Extreme Anxiety in the recovery section. I need help.
Alright guys ive got my act together and have managed to rehaul my mindset on PMO. Feeling calm and confident about this now. Lets gp
Day 3 and I feel this immerse amount of confidence. Abstaining from PMO is great and it gives a huge amount of energy. You just have to find something to exert all that energy into. For me, that's working out. We are gonna beat this.
I just wanted share another thing regarding PMO. I've been going 3 -4 days without fapping since July. I can clearly recall now that whenever i did relapse it was not what I used to watch when I was almost in "Flight Mode" fap which was never ending day after day. I was always so shaken by the thought of ever wanting to live out these acts. I really do feel Porn can turn a person's sexual preferencss to something disusting. And I just want to be a Normal guy who has normal sex. I'm not Perv and I will never be one.....and thats why I need to defeat this filthy disgusting thing. I am going to defeat it.
Another thing guys when I was with a lady on my 38 day streak......just because you like it when you PMO does not mean you may like it in real life. When I experienced that for the first time I realised what I actually liked wasn't actually me at all. Hopefullt i make it to day 8 without a scratch
Day 9/20. As some of you mentioned developing a true disgust and hate towards porn is helping because honestly it is gross. Watching two people get it on specifically for your sexual pleasure is gross. You have to start hating what it's doing to your brain and your life. However if you relapse don't view yourself as disgusting accept it as an addiction that you have into and the thing that matters is you're trying your best to get over it.
Guys I relapsed, but at least I know my mistake now. Gotta come back stronger than ever. I also set a new record 28 days.
