PMO-Free 2017 - Post your commitment here

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Administrator Account, Dec 28, 2016.

  1. It's that time of the year again - hello and welcome to the official signup thread for PMO-Free 2017!

    The purpose of this thread is to provide Fapstronauts with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire YEAR of 2017. Although it is strongly recommended, posting in this thread is not required for participation.

    New to NoFap? Here are some suggestions:
    1. Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO. Read through the forum to get informed.
    2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the year. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
    3. Sign up for this year by replying to this thread.
    4. Consider setting up a day counter to track your progress. Otherwise, there are a variety of phone applications and calendars available for crossing off how many days you've lasted.
    5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress every day. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
    6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Come here every day and participate.
    7. Get an accountability partner.
    Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
    • How long do you want this challenge to last?
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?
    Coming in after this year has already started?
    Don't panic - it is not a problem. Fapstronauts sign up for NoFap's events all year/months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

    Dig down deep, tighten your belt, reaffirm your resolve, always keep the person you want to be before you.
     
  2. I am going to be so busy being awesome in 2017 that I won't have time to PMO. I will be PMO free in 2017, mark my words! I'm committed!

  3. I plan on doing a Hard Mode for whole 2017. The reason is because I ultimately plan on giving up masturbation for life, so it makes sense to attempt this. Also because I want to completely eradicate porn and maturation addiction out of my life as well. And as far as I know Hard Mode is the fastest way how to rewire brain. I am very impatient to get rid of this stuff, so I decided to do the longest type of reboot, 365 days, ain't that ironic? And yea, I also want to practice some sexual energy transmutation to improve my other areas of life. So it makes sense to hold as much as possible of it all in and use that life force for something rather than just throw it out in a tissue or condom.

    So that's my goal for 2017. I sure hope I succeed, wish me luck! And I wish the best of luck to all of you in you PMO-free pursuits in 2017! Lets do this!
     
  4. Currently on day 23 but not even about the days anymore - I want to commit to a PMO free 2017. What's great is I've got to the point where I honestly think it's achievable

    A few months ago my younger brother told me about this site and how it helped improve both his and many others' lives. Upon further reflection of my life, I've come to realize how porn has been a part of it ever since puberty, around age 12 or so. That's half the time I have spent walking this earth. I think the only time that I never looked at porn for a month as a whole was when I walked the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage the summer of 2015. I felt so incredible, for many reasons, upon returning, but quickly fell back into old habits. Now I'm in my first year out of undergrad and I feel inescapably lost at times, often turning to pornography as a knowing distraction from my more negative emotions and deflated sense of self, in turn only compounding my despair. I've never felt that I truly had a resolution to make on a New Years until now. Simultaneously, I know that I often jump into the deep end upon making a decision and end up not being able to maintain a healthy lifestyle change for a prolonged period of time. This time I'm going to take one step at a time. Upon January 1st, 2017 I'm going to engage in a 7 day PMO challenge. I'll be keeping a personal, physical journal, plus posting after the 7 days to see if I will continue. 2016 has been difficult for all of us, I believe, and while a world of difference won't simply come to us just because we change our calendar, the rising of the sun will offer us new opportunities, just as it always does. The significance of our choices lays not in the arbitrary numbers denoted on a page, but on the courage within us to make them knowing full-well the struggle we may endure, and the benefits we may reap.

    My commitment:
    • Sex with BF only. Keep fantasizing to minimum. Limit social media. Get fit. Start looking for Pharmacy internships. Build resume.
    • Doing this for the entire year of 2017 and beyond!
    • Goals are to buckle down and really commit to finding a good place to intern before graduation, ace my finals.
    • Raised in a strong family. Keep up with the standard of my older cousins, little brother, and BF. Show the world that gender has nothing to do with one's ability to kick ass! :cool:

    I'm down with this. The addiction of pmo is dying out fast on me, because it has gotten boring, stale, and doesn't feel the same anymore. I can't afford time to pmo anymore, I have plans made for 2017. I'm gonna train hard on martial arts to compete at the pan-american tournament in Argentina, on summer. And after that, I wanna start my professional career as a kickboxer.

    Yes, this is it. A clean calendar.

    No P, no M, no O.

    Probably a few other letters, too, while I'm at it. :oops:

    No 'subs..no trigger tribulations...Continue bathing with cold water only, w/ moderate fasting. Hard mode, monk mode, war mode - death to the old ways, the rise of the new!

    Damn I have made 90+ days streak months ago and but then fall in to the pit of PMO again because of my own laziness and failing to control my depression. BUT FROM THIS DAY ON January 1, 2017 I am getting my head up again and will make this year 360 DAYS streak. InshaAllah!

    Happy New year! Hope everyone is doing amazing. Today will be day 41 for me of no porn or masturbation. Since this is a lifelong commitment for me, I'm absolutely committed to this month and all that follow. Let's have an awesome 2017!
