    Day 2 again.

    Really happy for joining this.
    Everytime I think about PMO, start thinking: WOULD I STAB MYSELF? NO! It is going to hurt alot and I'll die. The most self-destructive thing I could do, and I want to live a very long constructive life, developing myself everyday. SUCCESS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT!

    This text is from Alexander Rhodes:

    It's not fair that some people can have sex without ourgasm and call proudly they are in "hard mode", when you have to reset because of a P-sub, @Shugi Shugi. I understand you may have decided already, just keep this in mind next time.

    I have a lot to work on during this new Nofap. I've been relapsing for real until yesterday, and my relation with my father causes me a lot of pain. We barely talk, we grunt at each other sometimes. I feel more connected to my cat than to my father. He's always so distant from me. And when I talk to him it seems he has his mind elsewhere.

    My Nofap this time will include exercise daily, avoid games and even music. And just for the sake of sharing, I will allow myself to read all kind of books without pictures. I know that erotica is porn too, probably I will not read books which talk only about sex in a vulgar manner, but I'm the type of guy who would obsess over Nofap and stop reading books because of a small track of text in the book which talks about sex.

    My goal is to read more books and study, so, I think I have a valid reason to allow all kinds of books, sometimes you don't know if a book is plain erotica or just a book with some hot parts. To be sure I'll block all books with sex imagery, I think this will be sufficient.

    Also, hentai games have been a problem to me. I must keep away from this now. And the Japanese music I use to listen reminds me of hentai games. I'm cutting all that now. I swear I'll stare at the wall for 4 hours straight if necessary. I know these are empty words but my deeds will show if I say the truth.

    I guess sex (or Nofap) is too of a personal thing to give advising to each other, I hope nothing I said is misunderstood. And to the haters out there nothing you can say will change my mind, I'm doing this for myself and for my reasons. I've noticed that there are some losers in this website who can't pass one week and are full of advice to people who are on longer streaks. My last relapse I gave too much attention to other's opinion on my progress, I won't do the same mistake again.

    The best solution would be not post anything but I'll not stop doing what I want because of some idiots out there. My longest streak was 50 days, I know I can do at least what I have done before, if only I can get past the first week, which is the hardest.

  3. @Bewater @Frühlingstimme Well, I'm not on Monk Mode it's just that for me my p-subs was a big gray area. There's more details about it in my journal and there were more to it than just p-subs. But basically it was a gray area cos it does not quite fit the definition of porn (hence I call it p-subs), yet kinda still is porn. They don't fit the definition because they supposedly were not crated for sexual purposes but rather for educational and relaxation purposes. But then again some stuff did not state anything at all and some really felt like a sexual fetish thing masquerading. They were not of any sexual themes, no genitals or nipples but a lot of skin in those videos though. So whether it was porn or p-subs might be arguable.

    Yea, it feels like a long year in front of us. I feel little bit scared, intimidated and excited in the same time lol. What books are you @Frühlingstimme, and everyone else, reading? I just now finished reading a book called Convict Conditioning. Gotta start to get back into body weight training seriously. Gotta put my stored energy in good use. I used to do it every other day but I just kinda deteriorated from that a while ago. Also have to reread The Power of Now again. On top of that I'm also looking at some books to help me develop my Chi energy beyond just nofap. I actually want to be able to move it consciously through my body and direct it to other people or objects. I'm currently eyeing The Quantum Touch by Richard Gordon and Healing Light of the Tao by Mantak Chia, and some of his other books.

    I can't shake this thought that I just turned 30 and I know nothing about life. Spent most of it locked in my room for the last 10 years. I could be a professional, or a better student. I'm 10 days away from my exam and my skills are so poor, it's almost certain that I will have to repeat the test next year.

    I spent too much time thinking that fap is Ok, what's the matter if I'm hurting no one, but I didn't see what I was doing with my life.

    I started downloading books, have more than a thousand (downloaded via torrent) and I have read none yet, Shugi.

    I might be serious this time, if I pass 1 week nobody can stop me

    I watched about 4 hours of television today. And shaved my hair. I know it's not healthy to be so much on TV but at least I'm not fapping. For the moment it's the best, I think

    Why don't you try to read books to improve yourself? Do some exercise (gym is so boring. You can try calisthenic). Go to the park and breath. Enjoy nature. Learn something new like dance salsa, for example. Play a new instrument. Some books says when you help people you feel happy.

    I stopped watching TV more than a year ago and it's one of the best things I've done in my life. I can see now what a wasting time it was. Violence, sex scenes (be careful with this cos you could relapsed), bad news, sadness...

    Day 20. I keep going. I can manage whitout drinking alcohol or being with girls.

    day 3/365

    For the first time I made a Nofap spreadsheet, something I thought was a waste of time. After failing 5 times I guess it's time. I'm in the same situation I was when I last decided to relapse... Parents went to a trip, they come back this Sunday, this means I have 3 days only by myself alone. I used to create this type of opportunity and it feels weird not to fap now.

    I also made a shell script to remind me of my progress in Nofap. I know I should exercise, I should read, but I see no fun in anything of these, might just kill time again.

    Relapse. I lost control. I wonder how far I can go in life if I can't control something as basic as this

    I am currently dealing with a foot fetish and can't stop thinking about feet.
    Can anyone please help me?
    I'm in
     
  19. Well a huge relief. Also a lot more peace of mind. Of course there are days where I can get tempted, but a few minutes of pleasure such as PMO is so not worth it in the long run.

    Day 22! After ~6 of PMO, I've now stopped for over three weeks cold turkey and all I had to do was tell myself that it was possible and seek help here. This is a fight we can all win.
