5 days into no Pmo I've been having mild sexual thoughts..like for example: i start to ..out of freaking no where...think about A random cute chick from 2 YEARS AGO!! and i start to fantasize about having sex with her This is how it always starts when i abstain for a while and i find myself watching porn ,relapsing.. I've been trying to finish a book I started last year... The Subtle art of not giving a fuck.. It's really interesting but I'm using it mostly to take my mind off porn. I'm worried getting to even two weeks is going to be a real struggle but I'm working on taking on each day as they come Any suggestion on dealing with this kind of thoughts at this stage?
Keep yourself busy. I used to work-out every time I felt the urges coming back. Never were in a better shape in my life than when I quit. Exercise releases sexual frustration, strengthens your discipline and keeps you busy. It worked for me. Hardest part isn't quitting, it's finding a reason to stick to it. Work on that, whenever you feel that you want to fap - remind yourself why you shouldn't, why you don't want to. Don't fantasize, it will break you. Whenever you feel your mind drifting towards sexual fantasies - tell yourself to cut the shit and busy yourself with something. The game of tempting yourself is fun to play, but it will always break you in the end. It's a game you can't win. Don't play.
Let's fight this shit together bro.. Im on day 8, sometimes i'm afraid of relapse, but i knew i've to go through this mediocre of life. Come on!
Thanks man.. It's true it's a game I always loose to and it's time i cut it!!I have been a lazy slob and this has been a major contibutor to my porn habits. Thanks for the exercise tip i've been trying to be self disciplined with other commitments but this ups the game... I don't want to go back to my old life
Yeah!!! Your right i know i can do this.this is why i joined nofap. Day 8 that's great. I like you spirit.. This is no time to give in to my tiny urges there's a greater good to be achieved here
Then don't. You know you can do this, you know that it's all in your head. Keep it straight, this addiction can lead down a dangerous path. You're wasting your time and energy hammering at your dick, you're wasting your youth battling your addiction and these thoughts - get rid of it before it has rooted in too deep. You know what you want from life, and it's more than banging your dick into your fist day after day. So do it. Do it now. Be the person you want to be. Do the things you really want to do, without limiting yourself to temporary satisfaction that is ruining your life. You yourself know that spending all that time fantasizing and masturbating is making you miss out on so much more. So much you could do, yet procrastinate instead, because your brain is exhausted. Distracted. Overworked. Whenever you think of sex do push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, squats or lift weights instead. Work at it for a week or two and after that time I promise that it will start to work for you instead. Don't play. Don't give into temptation. Your body will start to crave the exercise, and you will find pleasure in something that actually benefits you. Those exercises are limitless, they will keep building your body, strengthening your heart and discipline day after day. It doesn't even have to be anything more serious than that, just work out. Also, stretching does wonders for finding a peace of mind. It's like meditation, you will discover that you can focus on something much more than you ever thought you could.
