Hey! I found this site 4days ago and i'm very happy about it I'm in a 40days project(and i wanna add 50more days at the end) today is day 32 I did 31days very good and clean, but since today THE MONSTER it really doing something but still i'm strong AND I WILL KILL THE MONSTER in this project
With each sitting ur willpower area in the brain which is below prefrontal cortex gets larger in size and amygdela gets smaller which means less fear and anxiety. True monks have no depression no anxiety nothing, they just live in present.
Everything you do that requires discipline will increase your willpower.I also understand the benefits meditation brings and am planing to make it a habit in the future.The problem is that it isn't some magical pill.It won't prevent you from relapsing.You will always feel urges and fear.Yes it will increase your willpower but it also requires a lot of willpower to make it a habit.I am not saying meditation is bad but if you think that just meditation will stop you from relapsing you'll fail
Done with Day 4, starting day 5. Urges actually weren't that bad because I have decided to be SUPER committed at this point to never fap ever again. I have used every excuse in the book and I realized if I relapse with this great support network behind me, then I'm Fucked. There is no other option. I am hopeless and there is no other solution other than to put my d*** in chastity or go to rehab and pay money. I do not want to do NEITHER of those options. Therefore I shall march forward into day 5 with super commitment and willpower
This is probably true. Meditation is definitely shown to decrease fear and anxiety, but isn't the "only" way to do NoFap. Meditation itself is an act of discipline that is easier said than done. Some people when they meditate, urges can actually increase because their thoughts in silence can allow erotic images to flood the brain, thus creating urges.
Today my classes started at the university, I have been very busy, I just got home, I did not have time to think about anything of P I think it is a great advantage to be busy, good luck to all! day 8
I really don't ever want to fap again. I don't like the idea of having sex with my right hand. Why not with a real intimate person? I want to go a year without fapping, or 2 years, perhaps 5 years. We'll see. But no way in hell will I fap before 90 days.
Starting day 6, I am quite ashamed of myself. I did edge for a good 2 hours because I saw a unexpected sex scene on a hulu show, which triggered the reaction. I wanted to orgasm so bad.. I'm not sure how much progress I lost but today was a slight defeat for me. Here I am typing this with major blue balls. I don't want to slip up like this again..
It's better not to watch TV shows or movies during no PMO, They all have at least a kiss scene... You can also check them in https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ to make sure if it's safe or not
I relapsed . But I didnt suffer PIED and it was to relatively normal porn so I have made strides in the right direction. Leaving for a week long vacation tommorow so starting a streak will be easy. Stay strong guys, if you're thinking about relapsing don't.
For a few days I have been very sad, the reason is that I had a misunderstanding with my girlfriend, I tried not to think so much about it, but it was not possible, we distanced ourselves, today I did not resist, I felt the worst, I relapsed, no I managed to manage these feelings, I needed to feel good, but then I felt much worse than I was before, I cried for this, I feel a failure, I was not strong enough. I don't know how to deal with sadness, sometimes I kept it and turned to PMO to feel something happy, but it lasted a short time. I must reset my counter.
Guys this is day 5 for me and i already peaked and urged...I am currently preparing for an exam so i cant go out often either. Comrades help me!
Based in my understanding masterbation is a normal thing. Arousal from P in not. Planning on never fapping again is just making the fight feel hopeless doesnt it? I plan on doing it again. But not w p. Day 5, spent it w my boi. Things went really well. Blue balls hurt. Theyre commited to helping my fight as well. Determined to get through these first two weeks before going back to school. No need to take too much duress at once. I think people need to look to setting themselves more realistic goals. Maybe setting smaller goals first and beating those is a good way to start. Lean down on porn, fast for longer and longer. If people get into cycles of relapse, then relapsing becomes normalized to them and it gets harder not to. Again, day 5 almost finished. Wont see boifriend again for a few days most likely.
