Hey Guys/Gals! So I've been attempting nofap for around 6 months now, trying to go as long as I can without PMO. For the most part I was able to banish the P part within the first month, and my longest streak without MO is 27 days. I got home today at 3 O'clock in the afternoon and masturbated over Porn for several hours, which ended a 15 day streak without MO, and almost 5 months without Porn. Now, 4 hours later, in the midst of my immense post-relapse regret, disappointment and self-loathing, I've decided to start holding myself accountable by joining this community of like-minded people and fully dedicating myself to overcoming this personal challenge. My first goal is to break the 30 day mark, and from then on just push further and further.
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Don't let that terrible mood you are in right now deter you. We feel terrible when we relapse, but sometimes that very regret sabotages us. Use your thinking part of your brain and remind yourself that whatever you feel, the right move is the right move. Keep coming back!
Thanks man! It's funny how the mind tries to justify things even when we don't consciously want them. Had my first real urge of the streak today where my brain just kept telling me to whip it out and go for it, but I was able to resist. I got a good feeling that this time will be the one!
Almost the entire battle takes place in our brains. That's where we lose it; and that's where we win it.
