Hi guys...I am Piyush. I am an engineer. I have been doing Fap since I was around 12 yo...But nowadays the addiction has increased so much that i feel the urge to do it everyday and almost three times a day. I feel low in energy and no motivation to do any work at all...just feel like i should sleep all day because i feel tired all the time. I have realised recently that it has affected my memory and eyesight... and also hairloss and backpain are some additional negatives that i have encountered. I am unable to focus on any task even for short durations.Also i am an introvert and this Fap thing has reduced my willingness to interact socially even further. I have become so low in confidence that I feel there is no need for me to go outside... By joining this community I am hoping to get rid of this habit forever and gain confidence to do something better with my life.. Thanks
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
Hey, thanks for replying.... I am nowadays watching lots of videos relating to how nofap improves life of anyone which gives me motivation.Everytime I feel the urge to do PMO I somehow control it and watch some motivational videos related to NoFAP I am currently also avoiding any tv programmes or movies which includes beautiful girls or rather even normal looking girls as at this stage even average looking girls incite the sexual thoughts. I am also doing meditation as I have read that it helps in controlling the mind... Today is my third day with nofap and i can already feel some energy inside me.

Guys I am into my 5th day of NoFap...Somehow I have been able to control my urges but today it's becoming really difficult to hold on....Still trying to fight it out as I do not want to sabotage my efforts till now.. Could use some help here....
Somehow I went through yesterday but I am losing motivation because i have seen videos and read in forums about how people went up to 75 or 90 days of NoFap and gave up after that...Is there a threshold where if I reach I will stop having these urges and there will be no chance of relapse? Or do I have to fight this bad habit my entire life...I am asking because it takes a lot of energy and effort to control the urges and I am not sure how long I can keep this up if somewhere in my mind I know that there are chances of relapse no matter how far I go on with my journey. Also what are the benefits that I will see and after how long will I notice these? I am into my 6th day and feeling a bit confident myself...
At 6 days, you are at the beginning of your journey and it is most definitely difficult to fight the urges. I will use your avatar as an example to prove the point I want to make. At one point, Goku hard and almost died fighting Vegeta but he survived. If Goku tried to fight Freeza at that point of his journey, he would not have made it but over time he became stronger and stronger such that when he fought Freeza, he was much stronger than when he fought Vegeta. There were still challenges but the difference was, Goku was stronger and was able to deal with them. The urges will come but as you resist them, you are becoming stronger and stronger. The urges will not be as strong as you are. The desire for porn will fade, not because the urges become weaker but because you become stronger. Continue fighting. A change will come. God is working in the background. You will eventually see it.
Thanks for the advice...it's so relevant and useful...but i am sorry as I could not hold on to my urges and did the fapping... I wish I had seen your post earlier...i would have been able to control myself... Now I will keep that in mind...it's so nice of you that you are trying to help me out on my journey...really appreciate it... Thanks Back to NoFap with a new mindset...hopefully I will make it farther this time....
