@CoolBuddy7 one thing that helped me just recently alot was good rest/sleep. I have more difficulties to control urges when I'm tired all day. Also I reduced my information intake, because I was surfing for hours while studying, therefore I would constantly overload my little monkey brain. When I now just lie down for a moment and think, memories not yet processed will pop up after a while and I have time and capacity to rethink my actions of the past. I've realised what a monster I was to women who courageously approched me. To not repeat your past mistakes you need to understand them. Also you might discover where that anger comes from. Edit: for example one of my own goals is to stay away from entertainment, because for me it's just garbage info clogging up my thoughts
That's something I am missing sorely brother. I will start sleeping for a healthy amount of time right from Today... This is also something I should consider working on, I would spend countless Hours surfing the web too brother. I will try to stop surfing the web, more frequently. Well, my monkey mind is kind of at full stretch now. I have to slow it down, and bring it back to my control. I have experienced this before, and I will sure start doing it again. I will go back there, and I will stay focused. They were all beautiful experiences. I can see why my PMO addiction got bigger. Me missing out, on all of these kind of small happiness's, made me a refuge to PMO. Thank you for this wonderfully scripted answer brother. You gave me the reasons, and the solutions for my problems too. Your answer was so beneficial to me. I just can't thank you enough for this ! You seemed to have found a way out of your addictions. I wish you good luck brother. Don't stop now, I know you won't. I would like to thank you again brother. So, Thank you.
When I was surfing for hours or binging YouTube I behaved like a little bird flying after the next best thing that cought my attention. What I changed is that I now think beforehand what is the purpose of this/what am I looking for, and then go ahead. I don't get distracted anymore and am able to stop when I've reached my goal and then continue with what ever I was doing before.
I was in the exact same situation, and did what your old self would do. Now, I have learnt from my mistake. Thank you for this post brother.
There are plenty of people in this world without maturity and who do not pursue it. You have decided it is of value to you (which I wholeheartedly support) and that you want to pursue it. You are already miles ahead of millions if not billions. Take your time and know that perseverance, not speed is your friend on this journey.
@Zen Mode here we go, I am not gonna give you this easy even if it has been tough to reach a streak these last months but lets see if my competitive spirit help me to hold the urges
Wow, wow, wow. How do you come up with all of this ? You've really inspired me so much brother. You speak very well. Thank you so much for all of this. I am grateful to you. Yeah, I am trying to quit watching new TV-series, or new movies, and I am trying to reduce the time I spend watching, and reading articles on Football. Even about two hours before I was curious on who would clinch the PL. Now, I am trying to watch the live scores of on going La Liga Matches. I must make myself understand, that Entertainment is not going to take me anywhere, and that I should reduce ( almost stay away ) the time I spend on it.
Quick advice, the begginers do not try to tempt yourself by opening half naked ladies and a glimpse of pornography. There is no reward system in NOFAP challenge that invites you seeing/ take a glimpse of nudity/pornography/partial nudity. That is how relapse happens boys. Stay alert.
Check in day 81.... It has been great but I still have to fight mild urges even through i am fasting.... But overall there are less urges while fasting.... I have been doing pretty well as far as recovery is concerned but my studies are going through hell..I dont even open my book. I just can't train my brain to give up on M, adopt healthy meditation habits, engage in prayers and a study at the same time ... So rn not that much focus on studies.... I Want to focus on leaving my addiction first and adopting heathy habits... Then I will have plenty of time to self study productively
