*sigh*. 0/90. Will I never get rid of this thing? Up to me, obviously. I almost reached 90 days one time. Last time was 22 days.
Day 5. Turning away from porn is a good first step but you also need to embrace new things to replace it with. I'm working on that now. Starting an exercise program, meditating regularly, playing my guitar again, doing some writing, and diving back into some academic interests. Let's all reach towards a better life.
It's a frustrating, reinforcing cycle - the more you PMO, the more you PMO. But the good news is, the *less* you PMO, the *less* your desire is to PMO again. You just need to flip the cycle into the other direction, which is hard at first but over time gets easier. Don't give up buddy.
I understand the feeling of wanting to get rid of it, believe me. But I think maybe that's not a practical way to look at it. I think it's more like a management thing. Sometimes there are mistakes and setbacks, but the important thing to focus on is to work towards more self-discipline, better mental/physical health, and a more fulfilling life. We are human and don't have to be perfect, but at the same time I think we often sell ourselves short and falter when the tough times come. We can push through those towards a better future if we maintain a positive attitude and are truly motivated to regain self-control. You can do it, friend.
Day 11 . I am kind of afraid and happy both. Because till now things went smooth without any serious urges. Don't know how long the journey will be easy. But when the urges return and will ... That time the things are going to get tough. I need to brace up and i have no idea how i will fight them or not give in. Didn't face in these 11 days so don't know how upcoming days will be.
@CarlosX Welcome and hope you continue improving! Up to you whether you want to start from day 0 or day 20, considering you already have 20 days no pmo, right? Thank you very much, it is great having a longer streak. Trying to stay humble and not get complacent. Wish you all the best. Day 50
Hello, sadly, the turtle is back. 0/90 Haven't been doing any streaks at all since the last time, so I figured I should keep up with NoFap again, as at least I feel more capable to do streaks somehow.
