New to nofap - need a plan

Just take it one day at a time is what I say, although you can do baby steps from 14 to 30 to 90, etc. I consider those goals as a stepping stone rather than an end product because I don't consider end products necessary if going for a true metamorphosis.

 

There is no shock... but your body will have to adjust from the unnatural stimulation. Research the "flatline" and don't freak out when it does happen. You will be fine. When you realise how much more aware and happy and energetic and socially confident and creative you are when not fapping... you will never want to go back to your old PMO habits.

 

Congratulation man. Why not put up a day counter? Keep going. Put the past behind you... and build your resolve never to return! PMO isn't real... do you want to live in falsehood or reality ?- the choice is really that simple.

 

Boredom itself is not bad for you. Too much boredom is not good but encountering boredom in my experience will help your reboot. PMO produces a lot of pleasure in the brain... when you withdraw from that it tries to seek other forms of pleasure. This is often why (in many but not all instances) one addiction replaces another. Ive seen many people who have quit smoking gain weight overnight. This is not just because the smoking suppresses appetite but people turn to food to provide the same comfort that the cigarettes did. This is how I ended up with the problems with P-substitutes. I was searching for a way to get the same kicks. Once you come to the realisation that ANYTHING can form an addiction it will help your journey. Because the truth is, we should live doing everything in moderation. Ever seen a guy sitting in the couch flicking from one channel to the other....? this was me and Youtube... going from one thing to the next and next and next. Take some time to be quite and reflect on the reasons you are here... what are you trying to escape? God bless and keep you buddy. Keep on fighting.

 

Glad you are now seeing more assertiveness. In the past few days I have been noticing more people will look at me and say hello when I look at them. Keep fighting those urges. Identify your week moments and learn from those close calls. Be blessed.
