This is Day One for me. Can anyone provide this newbie with tips or info? Thanks. [Edit: Woops, I mean Day Zero.]
Day 1... 2nd attempt at the 90 Day Challenge. Relapsed at Day 26. I've progressed greatly along this journey of NoFap. Everyday of no fapping is an awesome feeling. I've improved tremendously at being less harsh and shameful towards myself. I will continue to stay positive and faithful towards this cause.
This kind of speech isn't quite my cup of tea - thats what I was thinking first. But to my own surprise I realized more more that he has something to say which I really need to hear. Very important stuff for me! So thank you for posting this, Analyst! I'll list the points which were most important from my point of view I need to change who I am not change the things I do change self-image what is the person I want to become doing? how does this person thinking -> THINK LIKE THAT, DO IT, BE IT proactive action is good, but when you NEED to be active all the time, when you distract yourself all the time, something's going wrong - you need to change from the bottom of your heart not superficial "at the end of the day, if you're still the guy who faps off, you're gonna fap off eventually." "I'm fucking done" I hope I didn't forget something. When he told he still has those ideas like "I could watch porn" which are popping up in his head sometimes, I was remembered on a quote from a certain guru. It's: "the content of your mind is not your choice". Strange thoughts are popping up all the time. Of course it depends how we spend our time, but even if you live like a monk, random stuff from society or from your past will always enter your mind. Therefore it depends how we handle these thoughts. The guru said something like: we all have a trash bin in our mind and it's good we have it. But you don't sleep in the trash bin. And I learned another lesson today. Actually it was a reminder: we need to rewire. Unless we're on hard mode we need to rewire to real (potential) sexual partners.
Day 8 done Appreciating the irony that I used to use an incognito browser for PMO. Now I use it for NoFap.
Day 45. Had the day off work today. SO had an appointment today and I watched my son. But my SO had a hard day and I just keep wondering how I cold do this to her.
