90 days completed - My story

Hi there!

I'd first like to intodruce myself and give some background information about my situation:

I'm 16 years old from Europe. I was previously known as QuittingForever. I started a journal just over a year ago. I was sick of being addicted to something I was ashamed of. So I came across this website and started to learn a lot of things. I learned to

• Cope with urges
• What an addiction actually is
• How to better my life in general by doing daily simple activities
• Look at woman naturally
• Deal with problems instead of running away from it

I attempted many times and many times I failed, but all what matters is to pick yourself up and keep going. Learn from your faults and you'll eventually be able to beat this addiction. Here's a top 10 what worked for me:

1. Not being on your smartphone before sleeping. Put it out of reach. Make it a rule.
2. Replacing your bad habits with new habits to put your energy in
3. Rewarding yourself after a period of time. I watched my favourite movie each time I hit a new goal
4. Writing in your journal daily and learn from other people's feedback
5. Do something different when you know you are tempted
6. Stop watching tempting videos (nsfw-related)
7. Keep yourself busy (especially during the weekends)
8. Helping other people
9. Taking cold showers (although I didn't do that for 3 months... But it did work)
10. Being productive, it prevents you from escaping your reality by PMO

Here's what benifits NoFap gave me:

• A clear mind
• No depression
• Better short term memory
• Facial hair grows faster (which is kinda annoying really )
• Music sounds better
• Better concentration
• Boring activities are more fun
• No worries about what to say and not to say in a group
• I respect woman and look at them as a person
• Some more things I can't recall right now

It's definitly worth it and no matter how hard it is. Please don't give up. I know it's hard but you'll have to look at the bigger picture.

I still got things to work on and I'll continue to do so. Thanks for reading and supporting me through this journey!!

BOOYAH!

 

Thanks! Definitely yes. I'll continue to do so yes

 

I like being original. I came up with the idea after reading The Da Vinci Code

 

Just like I said. Put your phone in the charger and put it out of reach. Make it a rule and don't break it. You"l make it so much easier for yourself

 

I never had any problems with that. I guess it kinda depends on how long you've been masturbating and how frequently. I do notice that my erections are stronger

 

Thanks KC!

You're doing just fine yourself. I believe you'll make it one day. Just keep it up

 

Thank you! I'll be following your journal and help you where I can. There is definitely not a lack of ambition!

 

I actually slipped recently. Too bad. But I learned not to cry over spilled milk. All what matters now is to get right back up and focus on my duties and responsibilities. I tried to escape it by PMO'ing but guess what.. ...it didn't work. Today was productive and that's all what matters now
