Focused February 2022: Commitment Thread

Happy Gnome · Feb 1, 2022

The purpose of this thread is to provide Rebooters with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month. Although it is strongly recommended to make a public commitment, posting in this thread is not required for participation in a reboot.

New to reboot? Here are some suggestions:

Learn about porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO (a process called "reboot" or "rebooting"). Our free Getting Started guide that is advertised everywhere is a great option.

Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.

Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.

Consider setting up a PMO-tracking day counter to monitor your progress.

Create a Journal Thread and share your progress periodically, preferably on a daily basis. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.

Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Help others, too, if you are able to.

Get an accountability partner.

Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.

Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is dubbed "hard mode". For a full list of parameters, see our Rebooting 101 page.

How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting. You can't know how long it will take to "rewire" your brain, it widely varies due to individual circumstances. Some people require a year or longer to regain sexual function.

What are your goals?

Why are you doing this?

Coming in after this month has already started?

Don't panic - it is not a problem. Users sign up for NoFap's rebooting events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

Hi, everyone! Count me in. This is the first time I participate in such challenge. I want to quit porn forever to have better productivity and good help. Good luck to everyone!

I'm in. I haven't been PMO'ing in February so far, but it's only been two days and I've been stuck in a bad rutt lately, so it will be a tough challenge for me.

Will be clean for the month from today.

Just relapsed and really need a kick in the ass. I'll also be clean for at least one month, starting today.

EDIT: I failed and had another relapse one week in. I'm not proud of that obv, but I'll give it another shot.

Late to the party, but wanted to join for this month and continue with regular accountability. Trying to get some things resolved with my bank so I can sign up for the weekly program offered, but for now and the foreseeable future I'll use the forum for accountability and recovery. Please provide encouragement or words of wisdom for me on these posts. I'm a Christian and was exposed to porn at 5. I have dealt with spiritual issues in this area as well and sexual harassment from women trying to seduce me. Presently I have issues with witchcraft and voices that have been trying to weaken my resolve or tempt me. I'm in a Christian program presently that doesn't have accountability, so I'm trying to get that here. If you can keep tabs as I post to encourage recovery from PMO I would be appreciative. The spiritual battles and voices are daily, starting 11 years ago and are involving my mom, gay voices, or what sounds like neighbors. I've recovered from S and M imagery and dehumanizing practices, but in work places I've had women sexual harass me and cause issue for stability. I think someone leaked that I had struggles and was targetted. I'm concerned because the voices at times were connected with people that I've caught, so I'm scared they won't go away and police don't seem to help. They sometimes have taken me to jail, I've been homeless the past 2 years, or in hospitals. This addiction is something a number of family members deal with as well and started with my mom's dad. I have had success before in years past and in the past year had roughly 7 months of purity, so progress is there, but the daily voices and witchcraft are difficult. I invest deeply in prayer but the battle with voices intensifies or I have changes in behavior, expression or things said that I'm not desiring or causing that I attribute to witchcraft. I'll post each day after my online course and would like any suggestions on overcoming temptation, witchcraft issues, any voices or bipolar issues. I noticed some relevant posts by others, so I'll likely be on other posts/comments to encourage or learn. Today I already gave in to PMO and am trying to get through the rest of the day without another failure. Thanks for reading and God Bless.
