Hello! I am a newbie on my 14th day no-PMO. The cravings are getting stronger by the day. I have had several bouts of 'attacks' today, which I was able to fend off with the emergency NoFap App (the memes are absolutely fantastic!). I have read through inspiring stories of people going 90+ days no PMO. I hope I can be one of those people! I really worry that as the cravings become stronger, I will succumb to the temptation of clicking into a porn site - a point at which my first attempt at no PMO will fail. Would love to meet people who are on the same journey, and I wish everyone here are able to change for the better. Yours faithfully, Loserpro
Hi! I just started too. I had urges today. I didn't do PMO.But, as soon as I went to bed yesterday I had erotic thoughts in my mind. And, when I woke up this morning urge was very strong. Some how I was able to survive. In every moment of my urge I had fear of being guilty to myself if I succumbed to the urge. Which just triggered me to come to nofap and share my thoughts and read other who are struggling with same.
Hi Revital, Good luck to you! Controlling the urges is definitely very challenging. Did you use the NoFap app? I find it extremely useful when I was in the abyss of my urges.
For both of you: Expect urges. All healthy males get urges, especially when they don't get release for a while. You'll have strong urges on some days, and lesser ones on others. However, the good news is that the urges peak and then begin to lighten up, typically after the first two or three weeks. This is a great sign, because it tells you that your body is adjusting to its new reality. Everyone is different, but my strongest urges always come around Day 17, and this streak (my first on NoFap) has been similar. Once they've peaked, they begin to weaken, and you've also learned better how to cope with them. Today is my Day 29--the beginning of my fifth week. This is the first day that I can say that I felt no real urges at all. I was out a lot, and I definitely saw some attractive people; but they were like looking at a beautiful sunset. Nobody gets urges to faps from a sunset! It was a sublime experience to admire their beauty without feeling any urge. It felt great! I still expect to have some urges, but as long as I'm practicing NoFap, I seriously doubt that they'll be as strong as those I had early on. I know by now that I can routinely handle them. You can too. Just be strong and get past the peak.
