I'm feeling the urge to PMO, but if I'm honest I'm not really horny. I'm just bored. I have some down time right now and this is usually when I cave in to my addiction, but I can't bc I deleted my stash and I'm using OpenDNS to block all porn on my wifi network. I'm so tempted though to get off via LTE. I've never pmo'd using my LTE connection and I don't want to start now, but the urge is strong. I can't even touch anywhere around my junk or I'd probably lose it. As you can probably tell I'm brand new to NoFap and I want to succeed so bad, but damn this is tough. I hate that it has this hold on me. Please talk me down. I've tried going for a walk around the block, driving around, but the urge is still there. I came here hoping someone might have some encouraging worlds or ideas that I haven't thought of.
Hey, don't do it. turn your mobile phone off so you don't have LTE. Try to do something else. Call a friend and go out for a drink or have a run for 30 minutes and take a cold shower. You know how it feels to be back there and you don't want to be there. Stay strong bro!
DON'T DO IT! You deserve to be the best you can be. Options for you: Go outside and run do push ups Go somewhere around people (You wouldn't jerk off right in the middle of everyone would you?)
you want to fukin jerk of huh? tie your hands behind your back because its not fukin worth it. everytime u tuch ur dik ur only gettin worse. fite through
these type of questions help me avoid relapse and click on the *panic button* on the top right hand corner of your screen these are the questions i ask myself hope they help you like they do for me ; what will you get from 6-18 seconds of pleasure ? is it worth it how will you feel afterwards ? https://atnewsroom.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/559_splash.jpg
Close your eyes and imagine yourself at the end of a jerk off session with cum all over you and the feeling of your energy drop and your motivation recede. Now open your eyes. You're still able to make the choice. Turn your thoughts to something else.
First of all, well done on starting the journey. You've taken a very responsible step to delete your stash and use OpenDNS so you're obviously commited. To get through this you will need hobbies. You can't let yourself get bored. This is a great time to take up something new. Fitness, learning to play an instrument, art, writing...- there are so many constructive things that you can now spend time doing. When you recognise the urge, take yourself away from what you're doing and engage into one of your hobbies. Go for walk or take a cold shower. The urge will pass. The addiction comes from a very primitive part of brain but we have a highly evolved prefrontal cortex which can override it. Many people swear by cold showers. Cold showers don't fight horniness but they can help focus your attention off of the urge. They're also great when you get used to them and have lots of health benefits. They also give me mental strength - if you can put yourself through a cold shower what can't you do? When the urge has passed (and it will), congratulate yourself on the fact that you fought the urge. Next urge you can remember that. You are stronger than any addiction. Think about how much better you are not PMOing. Nofap will improve your life in so many ways.
If you know how to set up the blocker you can easily take it down. It only helps to block sites that may have some soft core pornographic material were you'll be one click away.
While I have OpenDNS to help me not look at porn, it's still on me to not take it past the denial page. I still have to be strong enough to not disable the blocker. I use OpenDNS kinda like a bouncer. It's there to basically ask "Is this really worth it?" So far it's worked great, but it does still get tempting like I mentioned in my original post. My weakness is now my iPhone. I've never looked at porn on my iPhone, but now that I know my wifi is blocked, I've been extremely tempted to use my iPhone to pmo.
I am on day 7 right now.Up to day 5 i had no strong urges,my brain interfered only a few times,which i could stop immediately by thinking "shut up brain,you talked long enough". On day 6 i felt a little anxious about private things like my future in my company,and the stronger urges kicked in immediately.I had thoughts like:"Come on ,only one time,how can it be that bad,and so on".At one point i even had to laugh out loud,because my brains reaction to my bad mood was so predictable (only when you know about the mechanisms,and we all know now how they work). I tell you one thing.When the strong urges are gone,and they really go away quickly if you are determined,you will feel fantastic the next day. I felt fantastic today and had no urges at all.Not one. But the most important thing is,now that i made the experience that withstanding rewards me with such a good feeling about myself,i have to ignore my cravings even more.
DON'T DO IT MAN. I just relapsed today, and I tell you, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Go outside, do some push-ups, and then go on the PANIC page at the top right of your screen. Hang in there bro!
