Addicted to Masturbation but not P?

    Hey all. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm no longer addicted to P. It's been over a year since I haven't watched it and I have no urge to do so. But one thing that's really been bothering me is my MO habits. A lot of the people here would say that MO without P is fine, but I've noticed to be more sluggish, weaker, and I've noticed my prayer becomes weak too. MO affects spirituality for me and I feel bad afterwards. I feel as if I'm addicted to MO, I can't stop doing it. So any of you addicted to just masturbation and can't deal with it? How can I get on a long streak away from MO?

    Thanks for your input, I tried really hard to abstain from M but I can't get a grip. I'm starting to feel hopeless. I really want to be religious; I want to be a pious man. I've been interested in prayer since I was a kid. Masturbation is hindering my ability to be close to God. I just want a way out. Thanks.

    I'm in a vice-versa situation. Addicted to p.

    My friend, as my pp says: Discipline. It's what we needed. While we were in dinner with my close friend he said "Do you see this cigaratte? It's my last.". And now, he is 75 days clean from cigarattes. It's in our brain.

    "So any of you addicted to just masturbation and can't deal with it?" As you already know, we can deal with it. It's just about how bad we want to get rid of this vermin. Do we want this or not? It's that simple and clear. We shouldn't play around we have to hit hard to this vermin with everything we have. This is how addictions should be dealt with. I know it may be hard but there are many reasons that why we call it "PMO".

    Every part of P M O is related to each other. They cannot be seperable.

    BTW my longest streak was 26 days and it was 2 months ago. From now on, I will hit 30 days as my friend hit 75 days for his smoking addiction. My last PMO was at 6:30 PM yesterday. I'm nearly on my day 1.

    Hey brother first of all congrates on your 1 year streak of no p and plz do tell me how not watching p was so easy for you ??

    And as for your answer if you overcome p then thats the half part done and as for mo what i used to do and will suggest you is to make your self physically strong ( like do exersice add them to your daily schedule ) i have been doing it from 1 months and i feel a lot better than before bcoz when you are physically strong every part of your body used to help when any urge or temptetion will came into your mind and you will feel lot better as even if you relapse your frequency will reduce at least thats what work for me i last relapsed on 8 day streak but moing only one time, but back then i used to mo 7 times a day so for me its good and you should also try it (currently my 13 days streak is going on , hope to cross 90 days streak )

  5. You're not alone, @Ammar2. There are others who are addicted to MO more than P. I would say I have this problem as I acquired my MO habit before I found P. Like you, I don't view MO to be healthy either physically or spiritually. With that said on the natural side of things you need to keep track of places and situations in where you would normally MO. Try to change daily habits and coping strategies. I don't know your faith, but prayer is a means to connect with God and ask for his help and guidance. Ask daily, in prayer, for the grace to conquer your MO habit and to give you a change of heart. Part of that change of heart is to remain hopeful, right? Don't buy into the lie that things are hopeless.

    Thanks guys for the immense support. It wasn't easy to no longer be addicted to P. I'm surprised I'm still addicted to MO because a lot of people say it's not the same as P. I'm also going through P (and MO) withdrawals. Yeah I have anhedonia, tiredness, weakness, and no sense of direction. I also blame this to my bad lifestyle. I'm pretty experienced in nofap and I'm actually surprised why I'm still addicted this way.

    I guess the best tip I can give myself is to keep going and build other good habits alongside nofap. Avoiding relapse is good but building yourself is even better.

    Thank you!

    Okay, lets look at it this way. The worst addiction is PMO. You have kicked the worst one and that's the P. That's progress. Kicking all 3 at once is impossible for some. I pretty much stopped the porn before I could stop the MO. MO is not AS bad with porn, but excessively its still not good. But with Porn out of the way you can now focus on THIS problem solely.

    Sorry for making you angry. I didn't mean to hurt you; I was going through an episode. I don't believe my meds are bad. They helped me stay stable and not in a delusional state. Thank you for everything.

    Update: I'm still addicted to MO. I just can't stop doing it. I'm thinking it's because of my stressors and I've been doing it to cope. I really need help with this. I always keep relapsing early. I'm not even addicted to the other stuff; it's just MO. I need help, it's getting tough. Thanks so much.
