    Porn is a real struggle for me. I hate it and yet I like it. I want to quit but I keep watching it. I have had periods of not watching it or even desiring it but than bam! It's back and it's almost a everyday thing again.

    I really want to stop and I draw my line right here. It's enough! I'm gonna work this out day by day. My goal is 30 60 90 days. I really could use support, I know we all want to quit but it's a hard road. I know together we can do it!

    Yes, only together can we do this.

    I've said many, many times that being active on this site is saving my life.

    I understand your love/hate feelings about porn.

    No one here will deny that porn is intensely enjoyable.

    I myself will not deny the affections I've had for my favorite porn star.

    You also are being very honest about your feelings for porn, and that is necessary to confront this addiction.

    The problem is that we enjoy or "love" it so much that it consumed us.

    I've had periods also when I've not wanted it and stayed away.

    Then, I binge. I'm ruined afterward.

    Porn cannot be enjoyed in moderation.

    Even a little bit of it will draw you in completely.

    That is why we are all trying to expel porn from our lives entirely and forever.

    I write this as words of support.

    Hope to be seeing you around NoFap.

  3. Day 1 for me after another bunch of relapses. I agree it is such a love and hate relationship. Porn isn't a real connection and as much as I can "enjoy' the material from certain pornstars, I don't have any real connection to these woman .

    I know how you feel, but remember porn is not real life. We are doing this NoFap because we want a life. A real life with real people.

    I'm only on day 6. So I'm ok right now. I'm more worried about day 10 or 15 or longer.
     
  8. Hey. Pretty good. Still very early on this streak at day 3.

    My longest time without pmo was around 30 days. What I remember from it was that I was very confident that I could do it and my confidence really grew as time went on. Somehow the urges would not convince me to give in, until I gave in very randomly when I wasn't even turned on.. After that it was just a hard struggle again and now a year later I am trying it again like I did it last year. We've got to believe that we can do it. If you can do it 6 days, you are also able to it 12 days! And on and on. The weeks fly by! Lets make this month great!

    HELLO ERWIN,IT IS BEST FOR YOU TO AVOID PORN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.REMEMBER ACCORDING TO SCIENTISTS IT TAKE ONLY 21 DAYS TO MAKE OR BREAK A HABIT.SO JUST KEEP DISTANCE FROM THE GADGET YOU ARE USING FOR WATCHING PORN FOR JUST 21 DAYS.NOT COMPLETE ABSTINENCE JUST USE IT WHEN IT IS EXTREMELY NECESSARY IN FRONT OF YOU PARENTS OR YOUR SIBLING IT WILL HELP YOU AVOID IT. INSTALL PORN BLOCKERS TOO.I HOPE THIS HELPS.BEST WISHES.

    your worrying for nothing about the future days. There's nothing you can do about those days until it gets here. focus on today and staying sober today.today Is what you have control over and only today. tell me what does worrying about day 10 and 15 and on do ? does it stop you from relapsing when those days Come ? all your doing is causing yourself stress

    So it's day 5 and the weekend has begun. Today will be busy so that's good. I will be out a lot to buy presents and I also need to drive someone trough Amsterdam (my drive instructor) and later on I have a guitar drum practice with my brother! After that I will be ready for El Clásico which I hope that Fc Barcelona shall win! ;)
