Day 8 complete. Starting to feel better. Working out early in the mornings has been help a ton in reducing urges. Stay strong brothers.
Day 9. Just keep going. "Stumble towards the light"- Jordan Peterson. Keep choosing the light. It will burn out the darkness.
Hey I was looking for something like this just to put my thoughts and feelings out there today. Today was hell. I am experiencing some severe fatigue (maybe anxiety masked as fatigue). I was still able to do some exercise for 30 minutes but I havent been able to think clearly today. I also feel like I'm about to get the flu. 11 days in. I don't have any urges today. The first few days I was restless and had lots of urges but I pulled through. Hope it gets better even my gums hurt and I have a cold sore in my inner lip. Oh I forgot to mention I'm sensitive to light as well.
You got this brother. With each day of pain we get better and stronger. One day we'll feel like kings. Wishing you well!
I'm new here, but i've been trying to stop porn and masturbation for quite awhile now. But it always ended up in a failure, the longest i've been without porn and masturbation was 3 weeks. So I taken some effort and found this page and seeing so many people with the same or if not harder situation, I'll update here on my daily journal here as yall can help me and I can try to help yall too. Thank you and God bless Day 1 starting
Day 5. Been a weird one. I didn’t realize how much I’ve changed. I used to be very comfortable in large groups and frankly used to have many friends in school. Today I was near a semi big group of people that I kinda new and I felt pretty uneasy. I never used to feel that way back in school. I don’t know if it’s a result of this nuisance in our lives or if it’s just who I am now but it was just an observation. I want it to go away though. Social anxiety is not what I need in my life right now
Closing in on 2 weeks. I've started using a free habit tracker app this week and could see its benefit. There's something about writing down your habits, whether they are daily/weekly/monthly that gives you some extra motivation. The app is called HabitShare. Check it out. My habits: Daily meditation 20 minutes Time in nature once a week Reading nofap/health cultivation, daily 24 hr fast, once a month Workout, 3x a week In bed by 10pm, daily Shut off all electronics by 8pm, daily I'm curious if anybody else is doing something similar.
Day six. Been kind of tough. I’ve noticed before every seven days I start to get extra urges. Hopefully tomorrow will be extremely busy and I won’t have time to think about it
