    Hello, dear community.
    It's only 28 days passed but I'm feeling happy. First of all I've beaten my nofap record ever. For someone here it's a short term but I should say it's a hardest pat of a nofap journey!
    I fapping since I remember myself as a human)) I've found first P. VHS when I was 7 years old, I think. It is sick, I know)) Now I'm 27. I had numerous triesof PMO since I discovered this community (more than 15) but they all crushed on 12-16 day. There is a rule, how to develop a habit - you should be stick to it for no less than 21 day. So I think It works in opposite direction too.

    What I'm trying to say is that PMO became a very powerful dopamine and, most important, sexual activity trigger in your brain. You should tear this connection off as quickly as possible. It's really affects your social life by affecting your sexual life. It takes away your natural need to have some girls in your phonebook (you know what I mean))) You just become a weirdo among your 'normal' friends (as for me I have a lot of such weirdo guys and they all think that nobody knows)). So you have to understand it and next time when you feel this urges - take a break and think that this "intercourse with a monitor" ruining your life. It helps a lot! The far you depart from PMO the less intense and important it becomes.

    I wanna share some changes I noticed. Became more sober, audacious and energetic. My overal mood increased. And somehow, I become noticing those fappers around me - among my friends company(maybe It's like a placebo affect) Now I can become hard only of a thought of a real sexual intercourse, which was unreal a month ago. But still can't have an orgasm from the touch only. PMO became uninterested to me, I don't have this urges any more. And it's only 1 month after!

    But I think I have PEID, though. I was with a woman a week ago(after 20 days of PMO) and It wasn’t a true sex but kinda massage. It took me a l-o-o-o-t more time to to become hard, as I would do it myself in front of the monitor. But still I succeeded and had an orgasm. Girl knew how to do it right ;) And Still there is a long way ahead.
    By the way, next day I had a strong "chaser effect". I wanted more, especially when I started to google some new saloons. Cravings was so f***ing strong, I thought it would blow my brain of my skull. I was boiling. I tried to fap without any visual stimulus, but felt almost nothing. So I stopped. And now I feel some kind of flatline.

    We should abstain from porn! It's killings as, killing a Man in us. It's a most dangerous drug (harder than the nicotine) I wish me and YOU - all the luck and to have enough strength to hold on and change your life once and forever!!!

    UPdt.My Success Storie ended on 99 day.
    I returned to my daily "habit" for almost 2 month. It obsessed me.

    UPdt2. 116 days. keeping up the good work:)

    p.s. sorry for my English :) And thanks you all for this crucial knowledge that you transferring to the world!

    first of all, congratulations !! i'm on day 54 and this is also the longest streak of mine as well. keep up ur endurance because in day 40++ me myself have flatline mood back again and this time is very bad. it's just better for 3-4 days but i'm still a bit horny and my mood is not 100% back like what i used to experience during day 20-40. but i'm pretty sure this way is the best for me because even flatline is still a lot beetter than when i'm a pmo addicted

    It's True, bro!
    I think now I'm feeling somekind of flatline. Insomnia and indifference to women. I had more libido when I was on PMO recently.
    I try to repeal any memories of porn videos. Don't touch myself at any case.

    I assume that being with girl (no matter what sex, touching or "lingam massage") would be very helpful for you mood, self-esteem, confidence and would help your brain heal or rewire itself faster. Especially if you paying for that, you can talk with her about your concern:) without any shame and generally be more open and relaxed. You don't owe her anything except money.

    Now I have to find courage to delete my P.collection and quit smoking - one more dopamine sucker.

    For you to fully commit and successfully go through the reboot/rewire process requires courage to be the main ingredient. This means you just go on shut your emotional attachment to your porn stash and just dump it into the recycling bin then click Empty Recycling Bin. I know it is tough because it took me some three hours to pull that trigger. Once you do you will feel liberated and other mental strength will follow like willpower and discipline. If you have no easy access to what cause you to relapse the temptation is immensely decreased and your chances of ONE shot succeeding will be increased exponentially.

    As for smoking? Can't help you there since I don't smoke.

    Here it will be my little journal where I will post only smthg interesting about my rebot.

    Today I awakened for the erotic dream with steel morning wood. It was feeling of extreme sexual arousal, it was so strong that taken my breath away. I don't remember when I experienced something similar before.
    It was very early morning and I couldn't even fell asleep after.
    But my libido is still low for now.

    Few minuted ago I've deleted all the favorites xxx bookmarks in my browser. And 2 mounth ago I've unsubcribed from all the publics with girls picks and etc. in all my soc.media. Seems to be helpfull.

    By the way, I’ve found interesting article, says that porn affects cognitive functions(memory, attention etc.)

    Day 33.
    Today I met a girl in a bar. she was really nice and beautiful, which I had understand when she was making acquaintance with some guy. The problem is that I was sober and I really understood that I like her, and saw her eyes on me, but I didn't had any urge to meet her. And I felt absolutely nothing "downstairs", even when trying fantazizes about her a little.
    I missed girls before but, I don't know why, today the aftertaste of this situation extremely awful.
    It's fu**ing terrible and terifying!

    Use this experience to connect massive pain to PMO. When ever you start to get an urge, divert your mind to this experience. That should kill any urge for porn

  13. Same thing with a girl , when i was eating in a crepe restaurant ( i was not alone ) . i saw her looking at me , i was not interest ( but she was cute).. x')
    at the begin i look at here in the eyes , and after i ignore them .... it was so funny to see ''the other girl with her turn around too see me (she was not discreet at all ) ,
    i was smiling because of that but at the same time idk how should i react to this kind of situation .

    ignore her if im not interested ? , give them a big smile + look at her in the eyes ? ,
    if im interested ... go talk to her ? ( sound pretty scary , idk what to say ... ) , just ask for her number , or something like that
    with the cold shower im more confortable about doing thing that i dont want to do... but i also want to know ''how to do it '' before ( u know some tips , trick , thing that u can tell )

    Hey!
    It's almost a month since last O and 45 days since PMO. I do not ever think that is possible!
    It's only 15 days till I should delete all my P stash. It's kind of stressful, I still feel that I morally bound to it somehow. Can I keep for instance 5-10 some interesting videos, even though I won't watch them??=)
    As for my current condition,
    Regular girls become more attractive, definitely having +1-2 points on my scale. Some time I feel horny and some time totally indifference. I can become really hard of real fantasies, and the erections much more harder than before. Still I have some memories of videos (and will have them maybe for many years) but they not so crisp and clear but I still can have this rush of dopamine from this memories or when accidently see some P or erotics, it not so intense(but still strong) and I dont have this cravings to P urgently. Interesting that I had no wet dream still(or haven't noticed them).
    Always smooth(bulletproof) mood, without any depression or anxiety. I had those waves before for sure! And my memory, my short-term memory!! Really thought that I "becoming blunt"%) Had those "O-o what I wanted me to do??". Yesterday I suddenly noticed that I don't have this any more.
    So far so good.

    Keep it up brotha! You're doing great and an inspiration to us all. The journal is a great idea on your progress as I am a newbie fapstronaut and learning from your experiences. It helps us all overcome our demons.

    Also, speaking of being indifferent to certain girls, I don't think it is a bad thing. Now, you are attracted to more than just wanting to f them. Your mind is looking for better things especially if you're older (30's+). It's natural. The best thing is that you now have more confidence and that will increase your ability to talk to them. If you still are lacking courage, you should try listening to some motivation videos on youtube to spark self-confidence with the ladies. Believe me, it helps. Even if it's about life motivation, it is a good way to set your mind into a positive mode for the challenge.

    Keep up the good work! Fapstronaut love and support being sent your way.

    Just Deleted my Stash!!
    400+ Gbs

    But I decided to keep(and hide) 5% of videos. I can live without them but it was just easier this way(and I really like the look of certain girls). Maybe it's a mistake but it was my decision.In some way it can be counted as a relapse cause even though I didn’t watch them longer then 5 minutes in total to sort out, I had this dopamine and horny rush, but it was totally controlled.

    So MY ADVICE is: DO DELETE ALL YOUR FAVORITES AND VIDEOS ON THE START OF YOUR NOFAP JOURNEY. Than it's much harder to do and can lead you to relapse.
