I want to change my life !

Hello there!


I am Philipp and I come from Germany.
I am addicted to porn and masturbation for a long time. I started porn and masturbating when I was 12 years old and I am not able to stop. I discovered NoFap 3 months ago and since then I have tried to control my sexual power but my record was only 8 days I believe.
I really want to change my life because during these 8 days I have experienced great benefits like more energy and a clearer mind. I admit I am addicted to porn and I know how bad it is for me. If you want you can join my journey here currently on day 0 again because I relapsed just earlier this day.

 

Thanks for the tip
What habits would you recommend?
I already started a meditation habit of 5 min every morning, but I want to increase that to maybe 10 min and more often.
I also struggle a bit with smartphone addiction but I try to use the app forest as often as I can to stay away from my phone.
I do exercise 3 times a week for 30 min but that doesn't really do much in terms of nofap and I don't think I can sacrifice more time for exercising because I have a lot to do for school.
oh and I always take cold showers every morning for a long time already and I really enjoy them!
Maybe you have other great habits to share?

 

thanks for the advice bro!
keep up on nofap it can really change our lives!
sexual energy is really powerful and controlling it brings the greatest benefits we can imagine

 

true words Jaafar! wish you best of luck and feel free to follow this journal to find motivation!

 

puu day one is tough already!
edged a little today with books but didn't masturbate
this is difficult!
lets keep goin fam!

 

thanks for the tip
i guess it was pure boredom and that i couldnt really get out of bed in the morning. i need to work on that so i dont edge anymore. boredom is a huge trigger for me but i know i can defeat my stupid addiction

 

ok thanks for sharing your opinion Rick!
i am currently learning to play guitar and piano plus i have a whole lot to do for school. i think if i stick to it that should keep me busy enough

 

day 3 on nofap almost complete!
absolutely no urges for me today. Was all day busy learning for exams and hanging around nofap forums. plus i meditated for 20 minutes in smaller 10 or 5 min chunks which helps me so much. i am using the free version of the ios app simple habit which i think is still really good although you dont have access to some things. check it out if you think meditation would help you or you are stuck on short nofap streaks. although my streak is only 2 days i can really feel that this is the time i am going to make it. due to all the meditation my mindset is so positive that i cant even think about giving up or failing anymore. i just have to continue with meditation practice and i think i will be fine. its crazy how effective meditation is! going to work out now and then have a nice dinner and go to bed, school is tomorrow. working out should prevent me from relapsing.
bye and till tomorrow!

 

currently on day 5 and it is getting more and more difficult!
last night I had some really strong urges but I didn't orgasm. The time where I am lying in my bed and i cant sleep is a huge trigger for me because I used to do that in order to fall asleep more quickly. I won the battle though and went on my phone and distracted me by forcing myself to watch a random off topic non-sexual video. tough day today because i had an exam but i think it was pretty decent. now being occupied learning for the next exam tomorrow and therefore i wont relapse. gotta be aware of th evening though !
thats it and till tomorrow

 

does anybody of you know if nofap helps to better my acne, because i have pretty severe acne ?

 

day 7 is reeally difficult
i edged pretty hard today but could control myself and didnt orgasm.
i feel like i have more energy now and i am a bit more focused. almost a week now!

 

damn it still edging really heavily
