day 9 My ex sent me some /unsolicited/ pictures on Snapchat for NO reason at all, and I almost failed. But, I just exited the application and went to make some protein ice cream : D Why does it feel like everyone's plotting against me whilst on nofap, lmaooo.
Congratulations! Its such a hard first barrier but it is overcome think of how much youve improved. Im sorry to hear it but glad you made it through. Awesome, glad to have you! Keep it up man ive been rooting for you this entire time. Im so glad you have been with me on this since the start. Good job you responded well. I know the feeling, the whole world seems intent on you PMOing. But we arent plotting against you, we are for you.
Hello guys! Back up to 15 days. I feel pretty good but yesterday was rough. I think breaking the overall dopamine cycle has been helpful. @Henry V - how are you doing?
Day 36. Lustful thoughts are less now but sometimes triggered by random images that appear as if from nowhere on social media. Have gone into a full on emotional withdrawal. Feels like a deep wisdom tooth extraction but on a soul level. Taking it one day at a time but I think this addiction has been part of my personality for years and the withdrawal is like a kind of grief. Some days I feel amazing but on other days its like I'm falling apart. Credit to all those on the same journey it isnt easy.
Awesome Job! Hello! Good to see you. Im glad that you are doing well and your rebooting is working. Im doing pretty great actually. Im currently in a period where everytime i enter it my porn addiction goes way up but that has not happened at all and i've not really felt any urges since the start for relapsing. Thank you for your post, it gets so deeply ingrained but we really need it gone, that tooth has to be removed. We need to stay focused and we can do it.
Day 3 complete. Starting to notice some fairly strong urges now. I know these first two weeks are the hardest, just got to push through.
Hello Bro, Thank you so much for such a message I am on day 4 and I really need to quit this Need some help really.
They are, make sure you are constantly aware of how you fail and why you are fighting. With just pure motivation you cant really make it all the way. Awesome job! getting stuck into double digits. These days can be hard as you tend to think the hard part is over and let your gaurd down. Dont. Keep staying here. Start considering why you are fighting, why you are failing. The best thing you can do is a dopamine detox and this can be done through cutting back on social media. Porn addiction and social media addiction really seem linked.
failed twice last Thursday! Picked myself up on Friday. 3days done since then. Sorry for that, I should have abstained pm for 90days but sadly my best record is 5 days. Now I start all over again. The reason I fail was also boredom. And I failed to regonize the wicked thought that told me to search p that night. Sad
Hey man, im sorrry to hear it. Here are a few ideas for boredom. Take up reading books, good books. No visual stimulus to put your brain to porn and also helps you improve your focus. Also try letting yourself remain bored. Dont try to fight it so much. You dont need to e entertained all the time. Hello, welcome. I'd love for you to join us more!
