    Hello guys and gals!

    6th day today and I'm not sure if I will succeed on my goal of 30 days. I was very confident on my 1st and 2nd day but now I'm kind of feeling anxious. I'm trying not to think about it but sometimes I check some porn websites just to check if they have posted something interesting. It's being really difficult but so far I managed to have very few erections. I don't know if I will be able to manage 30 days but I will try. I have downloaded the nofap app to my phone and I have used several times. By the way, I'm 41 years old, married, father of two and currently starting to write my master thesis. I have been masturbating daily since I was 16.

    You know that checking out porn sites out of curiosity of something new is not ultimately sustainable for your recovery, You've got to stop going there if you want to maintain. Think of the reasons you don't want to go back there - think what PMO addiction feels like and does to you. Is that what you want?

    Hi 5against1! Thanks for posting. I can certainly relate to your struggle and the urge to see if something new has been posted on your favorite porn sites. That would be exactly my reason for relapsing. I would think of all the new material I might be missing, and my curiosity would get the better of me.

    As you can see by my green counter, I'm here on day 6 also, so your thread title got my attention. If you click on my counter, you can create your own. It's helped me from time to time to envision a larger number of days porn-free for myself and how I might feel with such an accomplishment. Could you take a moment right now and imagine yourself with 30 days behind you, breathing a sigh of relief because you made it?

    Thanks.

    By the way, if you don't mind my asking, what brought you here to this site and trying the Nofap challenge?

    Iv been guilty of the quick porn check in also in the past. Stay away from this. Once you find something you like, which you no doubt will, you'll be drawn back in and its all over from there.

    Relapsing can happen in such a short amount of time, exactly as 85model said as soon as you find something interesting.... You know what happens next.

    Be curious about life even a past life but not the past you in the past life that was curious about something.
    Your repeating time, of course to get out of the laws your into you must let nature do it's course and you must keep in alignment with the physical nature to keep in alignment with the energetic body, the emotional body and of course the mental body.
    Your still imprisoned within the physical senses and the desire to possess that part of you seems also possessed instead of moving on and suffering for a bit is worth to be reborn anew.
    You need you conscious and free, your wife needs you conscious and free, your children need you conscious and free, your loved ones need you conscious and free, and most of all the universe the all that is for you will always be opening the door for you, then another awaits but one at a time every door has a new power a new key to unlock the grid, the (MIND) but you must be the one whom gets out of it alone with the help from none other than your self.
    Love helps you break the barrier to grasping the key with the (WILL)

    Thank you all for the encouraging words!

    I survived one more day, thanks God! I didn't check any porn website today thanks to a busy day with my kids (Sunday today). I forgot to mention I'm aiming to have 30 days without PMO + PIV. Not too difficult to be without PIV as my wife and I "have fun" once a month (or less than that sometimes). We both love each other but unfortunately we have no time to do it. As I mentioned before, right now I'm busy with my studies and my wife works during the day. In the evening we are enjoying our kids and when they sleep we are so tired that we just want to sleep too.

    PotentLife, thanks for the tip with the green counter! I will add it as soon as I have all the necessary requirements.
    And what brought me here to this site... Actually a hot (no porn) video. :D The girl in the video recommended to the men watching her to check "NoFap" videos. And then I did a small search on web and watched NoFap videos with testimonials from guys on their day 30 and 90. I then realized I was not the only guy with PMO problems. I googled the NoFap words and got here.

    I should thank that girl from the bottom of my heart because she might have saved my life!
