Newfap reporting - fapping once a week

Hi guys,

I'm new to the nofap scene. I tried some non-committed attempts before but I want to take things serious now.

I'm battling unhealthy actions. I much improved my snacking habits and I'm not going all out drunk every time I go to a club/bar and many other things. Combatting my porn addiction is one of the last items on my list of bad habits (after this I plan to move on to institutionalising new good habits instead of fighting the bad ).

Based on my experiences with other bad habits it doesn't work for me to abolish them at all but it's better to discipline my indulgence (get drunk once every two weeks and no more, only take cigarettes/candies that are offered for free, etc.).

So I decided to fap only once a week and only on Sunday. If I'm to busy on Sunday I can move it to Monday but only for the months April, May, and June of this year, this is not to make it too difficult at first. All fapping will be without porn. Also no orgasms without ejaculating or even edging.

I'm not expecting to get much of the positive effects fapstronauts advocate. I just want to master my last bad addiction. Any positive side-effects are always welcome though


Downfalls I expect to encounter is that the first week will be the hardest, luckily I will be on a very busy trip from Tuesday till Sunday this week so that should make things easier. I also just installed a porn filter, entering the password for that to unlock porn should feel like much more of a defeat then watching "just one quick image" and set me off.

Furthermore I think Sundays right after my weekly fap will be very hard for the first months. In periods where I hadn't fapped for days I always felt a much greater urge for the second fap than for the first.

I was wondering if other people are having a regime like this, I saw a lot about temporary regiments of x days no fapping and then being free again but not a lot about during regimes like mine short of total abstinence.

Edit: fapping habits I'm coming from: an average of 3+ times a day if I have to guess, it has it's ups and downs though. So I will decrease fapping by at least a factor 20

 

I always find energy

Today I caught myself often with thoughts about 'just edging' but I stayed strong. Soon I'll have diner with friends and after that probably some clubbing so things should be easier soon.
