After two decades of sexual performance issues, serial dating and reckless sex, I realized it was likely a lot of PMO that led to this. Am trying the"NoFap" lifestyle and its been a struggle. The first month had several relapses - now on a streak of about 15 days and everyday, I feel like I'm in hell. The withdrawal is real and time has gone by very slowly. Reading a lot about porn and sex addiction and it rings true to my situation so I am committed to keeping on track before things get even worse! One day at a time....
Welcome! I find that if I'm struggling, coming back here and talking about it really helps. It really helps to engage the higher brain (not just my stupid-ass monkeybrain) and see some of the consequences of where I could be heading.
Thank you! I have also been reading books about porn and sex addiction that help remind me why I need to keep on this path. Even if it feels like living a nightmare!
Hello and welcome! There were times during my initial withdrawal that I seriously thought I was going to wake up in the psych ward. No joke...it got that brutal. It does ease up though. It’s a slow process. No matter how many times you stumble, get right back up. I wish you nothing but the best
Thank you ! I have been getting heart compression symptoms like having a heart attack. Withdrawal is no joke. Just chugging along with hope, this community helps.
Anxiety. It’s a bitch, man. I’ve struggled with it my whole life but when I started nofap it hit 10 times harder. I had the same problem.
