I have been porno free for 50 days. I have just had a huge break through. My motives for starting where not the best. I've been dating a girl and i wanted to sleep with her. ive been suffering from pied so i thought a few weeks of NoFap will sort me out. As the days have gone by I have been finding myself getting more and more depressed. I realise that I have been a shi ty person mainly to myself, and my desire to sleep with my girl friend has moved from a desire for pleasure to an eagerness to connct physicaly like we have mentall and emotionall . This past week I have been increadibly hard my girl friend was out of town, work was increasingly stressful and people that I thought I could count on let me down. I thought about relapsing...... last night was the worst. I thought about where I could stumble across some open on reddit. But rather than doing that I posted on here and you all saved me! Then tonight it happened....... I was just found some work at home thinking about a chat I had with my girl friend and I got rock hard! It was my first non-porn not morning wood erection in 2 years! It lasted for a good 5 minutes then i started to cry. I rutenly realised that there is hope that I am not completey broken. I still have so far to go. But I am now there is hope.
Yes you can go further. We are here to help you.I am on my 6th day streak.This morning I had some sexual fantasies for 10 minutes.Then I managed to overcome without relapsing.
I am so happy for you man. You did it. You didn't relapse. You had a hard time, but you got through. This is great. Success . So so proud of you. Now keep on going, you can do this. I believe in you!
You're lucky you stopped yourself. I had a 21 day streak, and I ended up relapsing. Fapped 8 times in 3 days. Now I'm just sitting here wondering if any of this is worth it at all. Girls dont like me at all, so I have no hope there. PMO sucks, but its the only thing that makes me feel good. Atleast for a while. IDK what I'm going to do. But its good you didn't go down the same road.
Don't think much... just restart. I have been away from it just for 11 days. Before starting, I thought PMO free lifestyle was the best. Now, I KNOW PMO free lifestyle is the best. Lets complete 90 days and see the difference ourselves.
Please keep trying. I relapsed so many times. I know I still could. If you want to talk send me a pm.
You are great brother. You could have relapsed but you CHOSE not to. That alone is a testament to your inner strength. Keep it up man and all the best.
Congrats! And think about this, you talked about how some people weren't there for you to count on, but this community was. That means that your foundation was strong enough to support your weight when part of it faltered. You have also reinforced one of your bricks: Experience. You know now that you can succeed and that builds up knowledge and self-confidence. Don't underestimate the importance of those things. I found it helpful to itemize my "bricks" and try to utilize them randomly here and there to make them stronger. Things like yoga, podcasts, NoFap, friends, meditation, etc. Again, congrats!
