"Don't Jerk Off" July 2017. Time to be PMO-Free in July, official monthly commitment thread.

Si ricomincia da venerdì 28 luglio 2017 ore 19,20

 

It's time to face ourselves and stand up to addictions and insecurities that were holding us down.
I'm in for next 90 days.
Stay strong guys

 

Day 9. I'm game for no jerk July. Pretty sure it would be my first since age 13 and im 42. That's fucked up.

 

joining this thread today. Haven't PMO'ed since July 1. Using this thread as a stepping stone to complete 90 days on hard mode. Beginning day three.

 

I'm definitely in. Let's go!

 

Almost relapsed yesterday, but then thought, i just signed in to that challenge a few hours ago, how stupid would it be to relapse now...so i didnt. So yep, this challenge definitely helps!

 

Hello to all, I just reset my counter today after 15 days PMO free and I want in on this challenge! I'm 3 days late but who cares. I'm gonna do this till the month is over.
Good luck to all,
B

 

I will make my July FAPless

 

I´m in.

 

Im in as well! Like Hope4Now said, it will be my first since I was a preteen and I am in my 40s.

 

I'm in.

 

WOOOOOO!!!! Beat my trigger for a day and still going strong!!!

 

It's funny how the universe conspires to get us where we need to be. I was feeling low randomly posting on the Whisper app that porn was ruining my life. Someone replied with a YouTube video to watch about noFAP (I'd never heard of it before and we don't use the word 'fap' in the UK).

I'm now 2 hours in! But I feel good. I got physically clean, I shaved, feel nice and relaxed listening to lovely music sitting outside at 2.51am. I had a quick cig (I only have one or two a day normally and smoke American Spirit rollies) but it felt nice and relaxing. I guess it's a bit like the suggestion of a cold shower to shock. I used to do that regularly when I lived abroad, having regular cold dunks.

I'm conscious of being too excited at this point as I'm often way too overenthusiastic at the beginning and have problems with discipline and following through on lofty commitments. So one day at a time for me.

I've deleted all my problematic apps and the photos and videos I could see. I guess the thing I fear most is the lack of dopamine...I know what that feels like. You feel proper down. I hope I don't try to fill that gap with weed or something. I'm hoping to be a cleaner more healthy person.

I've opted for the PM option as I feel when these are under control life sits better. If I find it's not intensive enough or there's chasers going on I may need to up the dosage to PMO!

I'm still wondering what this site is all about other than an online forum much like I imagine an (online) AA meeting or something would be.

29/m/UK beginning to take back control of my life again and looking forward to increasing the empathy I feel I've lost a lot of (at least in a revealed way) and has been the cause of many of my relationship downfalls.

 

So far so good. It feels good. Day 11. Best to us all!

 

I'm trying tyrosine and 5htp and testosterone on the way but that could present challenge but I'm seeing it as repairing my system with abstinence and supplements and instead of losing valuable semen save that and for once get all systems in line and go slow and humble.

 

i'm in

 

You can do it!

 

First day after two hours sleep (after reading up on noFAP all night!) is going to be hard. Got up for work nice and early.

I can already feel much more conscious of how much I am triggered. A bare neckline. No bras. I know I'm a man and have a high sex drive as no doubt we all do though it's clear to me that PMO has rewired my brain in such unhealthy ways. I can feel this is going to be very difficult but purifying and organic.

 

I always wanted to quit masturbation as I felt tired and angry after masturbation. But when I regain energy the urge for watching porn and masturbation came into my mind like I need it to live. Today I've started a non co-operation movement against my urge to masturbate. I need to change!

 

Day 1 of PM normal reboot. 29/m/UK.

I'm feeling very rash and unpredictable on my first day today. Like I want to fly away somewhere. Feeling out of place here in the sexual world we (and I still) inhabit.

My urge to PMO is so strong....

It's funny. When occupied and unaware of conscious commitment I could go days or maybe a week with no PMO. Now though, because of the commitment, the negative inclination within myself is fired up to kill me and make me cave in. It knows if it can get me to cave in now at this early stage it'll be easier to try to fuck me over in the long haul after a reset. I don't want to give it that power. Struggling for motivarion in every sense and PMO is such an easy and familiar crutch for me to release temporary endorphins. Where do I get them from without PMO? I.e. with as little effort as that took... It's a constantly available and free drug that I'm 100% hooked on.
