Day 3/14 -- I forgot to mention this, but on Day 1 I removed Instagram and Facebook from my phone and am already feeling better from their absence. They were too often a source of temptation to mindlessness and, especially for Instagram, an avenue for seeking porn. I realized that Instagram was, at best, a mindless distraction that sucked up too much of my time and, at worst, a means of gratifying the lust of my eyes.
I am back to Day 0 but I am glad that I went 5 days straight without PMO. I was worried because I was watching porn almost everyday. I am definitely going to go more than 5 days this time. Maybe a week.Maybe complete the challenge only.
Day 3/14 for me. Still going strong and doing much better than my previous attempt. Strongs to everyone and keep up the good work.
Day 0/14: I can't live like this forever. I've got to change my life now! I will return to my former glory!
Yesterday was 14/14! This is only the fourth or fifth time I’ve made it to this point in the last few years. Finally at the point where it doesn’t feel like it’s part of my daily routine, but there’s still random little urges that pop up. Just staying as busy as I can. Keep at it guys!
Day 1 - I plan on getting all the way to the 90 day challenge but they say eat an elephant one bite at a time. I like the way these challenges are structured to help you do just that. Coming out of about 2 years of on and off relapsing. The furthest I've gotten in the past two years was about 15 days. The first time I tried nofap I got to 90 days easily, but that must have been beginner's luck, because I've been struggling with it ever since. It's totally a habitually, unconscious, automatic thing that has a lot to do with sharp lustful "horny" feelings, which lead to PMO on my cell phone. I think this forum is going to be the difference this time, and I'll use it as a resource to keep myself accountable. Here's to 14 days of nofap - upwards & onwards.
Day 4/14 -- I need to memorize how good it feels to be clean, like how it feels good to take a shower or brush my teeth. I want to want to be clean and free of porn in the same way I want to shower and brush my teeth everyday, in the same way that I have no desire to wallow in mud. Staying clean feels good: better than getting dirty in the urges of lust.
