    Never look back bro. You know its the right decision to quit. Everytime you think of porn, be happy that its in the past and that youre purging for the good of your health. Enjoy bro

    I can now better beat my urges to watch porn and fap.

    The more you resist to porn, the stronger you become.

    Alright gents after a completely free 28 days or so, i got hit hard with PAWS today, and jesus the cravings are strong. I had one of those porn dreams last night and that is probably what set this off today. I tried to study in the morning but the urge was too strong and i couldnt concentrate. I ended up searching for some stuff but really it wasnt even edging as i saw like 2 pics and then shut my browser. I was not expecting this and am preparing for a war in my head until this finally leaves. I know i dont enjoy porn and that its all an illusion. Bring it on im gonna beat this shit once and for all.

    Whatever you do my man do not peek! Your and my weakness has been peeking. We are both doing great right now. I came across an image on social media and what has helped me is not giving it too much attention or worry. The more attention you give it the harder it is to fight. I don't know about you but the way i feel without pmo is amazing and i don't want to go back. Stay strong! Remember the old you is done away with.

    How are u doing this time around with peeking? I am doing much better with it this time. the reboot will be coming along much faster. I know deep down i don't want porn and that I am not going to use it again, i just wish my urges would give up and stop putting my through this unnecessary misery

    I am also obsessing over nofap way too much. I just wanna move on in my life now. I never want to go through this again so porn is in the past now. I am an ex-PMOer

    Alright guys these past 3 days have been absolute torture, but ive survived. Im never gonna give up this struggle. I just gotta stop placing so much value on porn and realise theres no positives at all. Once i can convince myself of that its gonna be a lot easier. I am not gonna look at porn again, but I need to change my mindset to make myself less miserable and vunerable.
     
  12. Well, I'm approaching the two week mark. I've been running everyday which emirates my masturbation urges, but since yesterday porn urges have come back. Oh well here we go again, let's see how strong my will is and if the changes I made this time around make a difference.

    Alright gents well here I am back at day 0. This time was a very brief session and no binging will be happening.
    This time was a bit strange. I didnt peek, search or anything related to PMO for like 27 days or so. My mindset was good. I wanted to stop more than i wanted to pmo. I had a dream that night where i peeked but i didnt MO, and i woke up that morning and my whole mindset had changed. I litterally craved PMO. All i could think about was fantasies about certain stars and scenes. Whatever i did, i couldnt shake this mindset. I ended up peeking and eventually after 3 days of torture i am back here. To be honest, i dont even feel down about it because i know this time what to do. The PMO itself was short and empty, but i actually feel relieved that the torture has stopped. It was killing me.

    Gonna get my mind right. And not put porn on a pedestal. No peeking this time, lets go.

    Hey Mates,

    How are you all holding up?

    Whatever you are going through, I hope you all are keeping up the fight against PMO.

    As for me, no urges 10 days later, hoping this time I won't have to restart that countdown again.

    Nevertheless, Good luck brother.

    I fapped after 28 days.

    I guess fapping once in a month is not bad though.

    But still i will make it zero/
     
  18. So I'm back to zero, but I did something yesterday that I've never done before. I looked at porn and did not masturbate. I instead contemplated it's meaning for me subconsciously and finally realized that it is boring, unnecessary, and a waste of time. Believe it or not I didn't not even get hard. I fapped this morning, but imagined myself having actual sex rather than picturing a porno in my head. I hope this makes a difference for me and others that read this.

    Back at it again.

    Many of you might have noticed i have put together some gold streaks as of late.

    Although i have relapsed, i am still seeing some benefits of nofap. Namely, i am getting brutally strong libido and morning wood. This isnt to say that relapsing doesnt hurt you, because it does.

    However, if you simply slip and watch some P and MO, youre NOT back at square 1. I am living proof of this. Just end it quickly (dont edge) and do NOT beat yourself up. Get back up and stay positive.

    But ultimately nofap is about a mindset change. Until that has happened, nofap isnt completed. It is very hard to see the brutal negatives of PMOing but after failing so many times you get sick of trying. You either give up and go back to PMO (which i tried briefly but after 1 PMO session i felt awful and realised id never actually enjoy going back to this regularly) or you just stop. Youll get urges. You need to commit to changing your life. Instead of sitting still and having a mental battle, go and do something. Make sure youre tiring yourself out from exercising.

    But porn addiction really just highlights a hole in you life. Once you have a relationship and regular sex, a good diet, plenty of exercise, sleep and a decent income, it would be hard to even want to PMO. Something is missing from our lives fellas, we need to tackle and naturally porn will fall by the wayside.

    Of course there will be urges but a good idea is to identify when they come about and see what emotion youre feeling when you get that urge. I personally have a journal and have told my family about my issue, and this whole nofap shambles seems more like a doable challenge than an impossible mountain. I also stopped hating myself. It does nothing for you except increase the problem in your head.

    Good luck gents
