Don't let one bad day bring you down

Cd23 · Apr 18, 2018

Last week was interesting for me. Several times throughout one random day I was edging, something that hasn't really happened since I began NoFap. I never reached orgasm, but that fact didn't make me feel any better. I don't know what initiated it, but in the end it left me feeling the same way I did when porn was a legitimate problem (lonely, pissed off at myself, depressed, all the usual symptoms). The next day I took it as a reminder of why I started and how I don't want to go back to being that person. I know my counter says over 100 days and for some people who are just getting started that may make me seem like I'm in the clear, but this is an uphill battle. The problem didn't arise in one day and it wont be healed any sooner.

One thing I've come to realize is that this cannot be cured until I cut off ALL forms of sexual content that I look up. The last strand of this problem seems to be holding on by saying that there is no harm if the content is looked up on a lower platform such as Instagram or Youtube. This still keeps that rotten seed around in my brain and now I will begin the process of FULLY cutting off the remaining parts once and for all.

I also need to note that I seem to be back in another flatline. I'm not sure if the day of edging induced it or not, seeing that I have read many stories where people come in and out of flatlines. Like I said before, this has been a problem for YEARS, so I can't be upset that it isn't fully healed in 3 months.

Just incase anyone had one bad day out there, DONT LET IT BRING YOU DOWN! Sit back, look at how it made you feel, decide you aren't that person anymore, and continue forward. You are stronger than this addiction.

The lust is the most deep rooted thing in a man's brain. Conquering it ain't an easy task but worth all the efforts.

I too bad a really bad day at day 36 but i decided to not give up. Like all the moments, the time would pass for sure .You gotto make sure that you stay vigilant each moment & extenguish the spark before it become a raging fire.

Spot on bud! Today, I woke up in the middle of the night with sweat all around my body and a tremendous urge to ejaculate. That feeling has persisted for the entire day. It is one of those days where my patience and willpower will be tested. I am trying my best not to give in to the urges and to stay focused, and I am confident that this phase shall pass too. We are stronger than this addiction and we will emerge victorious!

this thing is so strong and evil,,,this p addiction,,,and its like everywhere you look,,,its ridicules,,,but heres some food for thought,,,i think we are addicts to p because we are ppl who are over-sexed---and thats neither a good or bad thing,,,it just is how i am made, so, if you can channel that extra sex energy into something meaningful than you can really be successful,,,hang in there,,,,i think we are all oddly special

Congrats on 111 days!
I broke my own record today and though that's great for a fact, I also try to remain down-to-earth about any month-long abstinence from a year-long addiction.
I'm sincerely happy you got through your edging day.

Great comment, yes I often think after a night wasted in PMO how I could have spent that time better. When I add up the hours and days even, that I've wasted fighting this awful disease it makes me feel sad, then angry then motivated. Just gotta keep on keeping on...

One of the things I learned in my 90 day journey was the deeper I got into it the less I wanted to go back to day 1 just the thought of having to reset if I acted out keep me from it when the urges came the deeper I went the more confidence I got when I broke my old record of 42 days I thought I was king shit until day 45 came and it nearly broke me for some reason I felt one of the strongest urges to relapse I ever had my mind keep playing tricks on me like" hey you broke your old streak pmo cant be bad for you now you went farther then you have ever gone just do it" that's when I found out a key secret to this URGES ARE TIME LIMITED that day I got up from the computer shut it off went to another room and about 10 mintues later I was doing fine the urge had passed
