Made It To 30 Days Without Porn!

This is the longest I've ever been in almost 20 years! I'm using a porn blocker to help me, and would have relapsed without it. At times I have regretted setting up the porn blocker, because I wanted to relapse. But it's getting easier as my streak gets longer. I've masturbated twice without porn during this streak. I'm not too concerned about that. Overall definitely feels like a success, I'm happy about it! I'm not noticing any "superpowers", the main thing is not having to deal with the regret from relapsing over and over. I never really expected superpowers anyways, to expect that is a form of "magical thinking", a trap that I fell in to a long time ago. During this last 30 days, I've also been less active overall on NoFap, I've largely avoided participating in off-topic discussions, politics, religion, and philosophy like I had been doing. Just been focusing on recovery from PMO. Those other things are just distractions and only serve to rile me up, stress me out, priming me for relapse. I see that with other people here too. I'm going to keep going, the fight will never be over, I'm still not even close to the recommended "official" reboot of 90 days and for me I don't think 90 days is even close to how long I will need to fully reboot. But now I can feel like I've accomplished something, I can move on to other things instead of constantly starting over every time I relapse

 

Good work on cutting out the porn!

 

Thank you, I'm not worried about the fapping. When I was using porn, I was fapping every day. Now without porn I've managed to cut it down to twice in one month! That's a huge success! Plus I have a medical issue right now where it might be good to fap every once in a while

 

Thanks man!

 

congrats , Be proud its something your mind can not lie to you and say you cant do because YOU DID DO IT

 

Congrats buddy

 

Good point, thanks

 

Keep going!

 

To me superpowers are just things being restored to you that pmo took away.

 

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people out there are turned off by the idea of NoFap because of people who make it seem like something it's not. All it is is just getting rid of an addiction and making you into the person you would be without it. It's no different than alcohol or drugs, really.

 

Hopefully you get your medical issues sorted out so you can quit M too!

 

I completely agree, addiction alters your brain and abstaining makes it normal again.

 

Something is definitely wrong down there, painful ejaculation and little blood clots in semen. This has now been going on for about 3 and a half months. I'm on a new antibiotic for it from my urologist. Masturbation is the only way I know if the problem is resolving or not
