I joined July 14 in a pit of anxiety, realizing that id pushed my system of skirting porn addiction--distraction and busyness--beyond what my family could sustain. I was dirty. Much of the interior of my house was demo'd for remodeling. My wife's desire to avoid the dust thinly veiled deep frustration at the gear I had found. That was 90 days ago. I had been intimate with my wife perhaps five times since. She has undergone surgery and has been recovering for the past three weeks. But I can cut this short: NoFap introduced me to the possibility of refusing first the porn and then the feelings that made porn irresistible. I am deeply grateful to many friends here and the many more whose posts set me up when I was just lurking here. I was in pitiful, faltering easy mode for a year or so. Going quasi hard mode was far easier that playing MO to beat P ever was. No P after July 14. Be strong people. If you're not sure you can do it, get serious about figuring out agree the uncertainty is. Many thanks and good luck! Onward.
It's difficult to not hear from people. Hopefully you're lurking again. Or, better yet, wildly successful with all your goals and living a sober life. No matter your successes or failures, hopefully you can still remain friends; you might be surprised the strength staying involved in NoFap can be even when you are in a mostly recovered status =)
Vx, today is my one year anniversary on NoFap. Not a year in which I met all my goals, but the fight continues on a different plane from a year ago. I've tripped perhaps ten times and nuzzled around with porn. But I havent masturbated to climax for one year.heres to all of you struggling onward! Latest insight for me is that orgasm hangovers from sex with my wife are stronger and perhaps more volatile in their combination than I realized. So I'm secretly trying sex without O. Prob not a great idea but I need some experience to speak from with my beloved. Peace. Onward.
