Hi everyone my name is jack,I am 20 years old currently doing graduation.i started watching porn when I am 15 years old.i was not aware wheather it was wrong or right but as the time passed and I learned more about this and I started becoming aware of the right information and got to know that this thing has a demerits in a large way,but till that time I got addicted and I was knowing that this is not good for me but was unable to get out of it as it was too difficult and become part of daily routine , so I started searching on this topic cause I wanted to talk about it but there was no one with whom can I share with thing my story and then I found nofap community where people with same problem join and help each other to get out of it and here I am posting my first post. I want to get out of this addiction , I am planning my first goal to be kept is 21 days and as I start improving then I'll be increasing the days maybe 90days.
Day 1 Wake up early in the morning at 6:00 AM and after fresh up I did yoga and meditation then after i am trying to connect myself with almighty but as usual my mind was wondering ....At 10 Am I started to reading cause my exam is going on but after 2 hours i got an small urges for 10 to 20 minutes and I again started porn but suddenly I stopped porn and come to this website immediately and then I've feeling okay .At 6:00 PM I go to gym then workout between 6 to 6:45...though I got some urges around some time but this time I manage it I put my phone away this time now I am share this things feeling great right now I am going to sleep now hope I am going very well in future........bye for now
Hope It is going well. I'm also new and determined to get rid of this bad habit. If we have perseverance we can improve ourselves.
We welcome you to the NoFap community. Congratulations on attaining 1 day free of PMO. I commend you for reaching out and sharing your desire to overcome your addiction. As suggested in your Day 1 post, fighting one's urges can be a moment-to-moment process. We will be there for you in whatever way you allow us to – whether that is supporting you in moments of hardship, sharing in your success, or in simply interacting with others that can relate to your addiction. Take care, brother, and please keep us informed on your 21-day progress if you find that helps you stay accountable to your goal. You can do this!
Day 2 2 day is very tough for me and I didn't even know how I control my self but yaa I didn't relapsed and today I got triggered which I never feel before but I manage it but ya it was very difficult....
Hey Moji, we appreciate that day 2 was tough, and we commend you for completing it without PMO. Surrendering one's addiction is a challenge – if it were simple and easy to accomplish, I doubt a support forum like this would exist – but you're showing the addiction who the driver is by refusing to let it take control of you. One step at a time. Have you considered ways to occupy your time during moments you would previously seek out porn? From my experience, one cycle of behavior must be replaced with another; it can not remain hollow, otherwise it is tempting to return to PMO. Keep at it Moji, you are doing great!
Today I was full of exited .and bring peace in my mind I never thought about masturbation today and even I've not got any single triggers.
Hey Moji, we are excited that you felt peace and did not experience any triggers throughout the day. That must feel rewarding after struggling with both occasional and frequent urges on your previous days. Have you considered creating a personal journal thread to document your progress towards your 21-day goal?
