    Just wanted to start a thread so everyone can throw in their progress with NofApril. Today is the 8th day! How many are still onboard??

    It makes a world of difference to eliminate porn from being an option. It isn't just saying it isn't an option, it's mentally blocking that pathway in your mind.

    I have my 90 day mark on the calendar and I'm already planning the victory party! Who is still with me?

    Stay strong, everyone!

    So I started again a couple of days in - today will be my 7th day.

    Woke up having a sex dream, about an ex girlfriend, which is annoying as now I am horny as well. But determined to last the course, have got through a couple of pretty testing days so far but come out the other side with more resolve.

    I started a day earlier and have managed to avoid porn and masturbation entirely.

    I have been insanely horny on a few of those days but i changed my mind and forced myself to think of something else. I also started running and even went to the gym for the first time last night. So far, I'm winning. I can be very strong-willed when I want to be so fingers crossed I don't give in before the end of the month. If I do have an orgasm it will be from sex/oral sex - NOT from fapping!! So far this is my best streak since I first discovered M.

    Stay strong people!! LETS BEAT THIS TOGETHER!!

    Going good. I have not PMOd or edged, although I have been fantasizing quite a bit lately (not about porn however, but about my future wife), especially in weekends when I basically have nothing to do. I need to work on that.

    So far so good! Keeping busy helps a lot.

    My greatest acheivement is that I can stay alone at home and not PMO.. Also I have no P blockers on my computers, mobiles, etc. I have never been more reisstant

    The downside is that the struggle drains me of energy and I am constantly tired...
     
  6. I am doing well in April Challenge as well, after failing in the March Challenge. Good luck everyone

    I just wanted to say congratulations to each of you! This is seriously one of the most difficult things to overcome. It isn't a matter of not buying cigarettes anymore or not drinking at the bar. This is about you and your mind. With simplicity comes extreme impediment and the process can be excruciating.

    Having said that... Each one of you guys are an inspiration. Let's look forward to summer being 2-3 months free of this addiction.

    Thanks for all your input!

    So far so good, but the real test will be in a couple weeks as mine is more of a monthly battle.

    11 days for me thus far. Doing good, but temptations do lurk around the corner now and then.
    Looking much forward in completing this April challenge free from my fap addiction.
     
  11. Setting monthly goals really does help. It challenges you to push your limits without being unrealistic. Regardless of how I ultimately do with this month's challenge, I'm eagerly anticipating the May challenge!

    Working towards 100 days, had a brief desire last night but didn't dwell on it. Keep rolling

    I started about a week before Apr. 1, so I'm working on day 17. The pangs have gotten stronger as the time goes on, but I can work through them. They do go away. I fapped once last night, but not to porn (over and done with in a minute or two). My plan out front was simply not to fap to porn, but I had stopped fapping completely up until last night. I don't consider it a relapse, but I am nervous about it because fapping has been associated with porn for so long for me (17 years) that I don't want to do it often, because I fear it will lead to a relapse. My wife and I messed around over the weekend, but I still had ED when trying to have intercourse, so I need a bit longer away from the porn, I figure. It's like trying to rediscover sex with her.

    April's been a real gamechanger for me so far this year. my goal is to go at least three weeks, my record is 2 weeks which i did in November, so it's been awhile since i've pushed myself this hard. but this is also my first month being on NoFap so i'm more motivated than ever.

    A week down for me. I feel like I did when I quit smoking. Irritable. Lol. But it's good.

    I feel like I did during my first days of quitting smoking: I'm realizing how much time I spent on it.

    Right now whenever I open up a web browser, I have to stop myself from compulsively visiting porn websites.

    This whole process of rewiring my brain is extremely difficult. I'm trying to replace the dopamine surges that I got from porn through exercise now. Let's see how this goes.

    I am doing good. No fapping at all. Some days I am not as productive as I would like to be but I have not compromised on porn and fapping.

    Im 12 days into this and gotta say I feel good. Not much urge to watch P (K9 installed) and actually enjoying the cold showers !! My only thing is early morning edging which I dont let go on to long. Like 20 seconds or so. Looking forward to reaching the end of April fap free and take things from there. Peace

    21 days off PMO'ing. I've had 2 wet dreams since. I get morning erections and sometimes edge but not to orgasm but to make sure I can stay hard for long. Can't wait to see the results of this hopefully sooner than later!
