Should I give up

Please don't give up. You can do it. It's your birth-right. You are a free-man. You do not have to be a slave.

 

Agreed. Sleep on the floor! Take cold showers! Get rid of your 4g phone! Beat your chest! Whatever it takes my friend!

 

Allow yourself to experience the 'boredom' for as long as it takes to break it. I'd recommend activity if you can do it. I have a problem with boredom and nothing to do, but I know that day by day my life is reforming structure, the answers will come to you.

 

I'm gonna have to agree @BravelyKegger . Separate yourself. I need to find other habits that keep you active and engaged in the moment. Your brain is too use to being in front of a screen. Go outside, go for a walk, take up running or swimming, learn a new language or instrument, take up meditation, etc.

JUST DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

 

I have an easy time staying away from porn when active, but a hard time when lounging around. With down time, my bad habit is to look at the news, then at time/life wasting apps that lull me into a stimulated yet extremely bored state of mind. That boredom is easily replaced with P.

Kind of pathetic to admit, but a few weeks ago I read a book for the first time in about a year. It was so much more relaxing that scanning the news on my phone or computer ,and so much more enjoyable that scrolling through pictures on social media. It also removed any temptation to click on new images or stories, and instead just focuses the mind. So try reading a book to satisfy your compulsion to click on something digital.

This is my 3rd attempt at nofap, and I'm having more success this time by simplifying my pursuit to No P. I really don't want to relapse on P and hope to never look at it again. I will give in and M from time to time, if it keeps me from looking at P. Not sure if this is wise advice or not, so others can weigh in on that.
