Sure I slept after that and infact I overslept. Right now I don’t have any urges . I am taking my streak very seriously. It’s just that sometimes my brain becomes stronger than me but you are right only I can do it . So I’ll be very careful next time whenever I get a trigger I will observe it and leave my room . I will also leave my electronics in the hallway before sleeping at night . Thank you for your support.
My recommendation when you get urges and your brain is telling you to go watch p or any sexy videos= “DO NOT DO IT” if you do the urges will be worst & most likely you will end up M. Trust me my brain does this shit to me all the time & I have failed miserably. POV my brain= just a little peek then I can’t stop & yeah. Today is my 5th day clean and when my brain starts giving me bs urges I just refuse to give in. Gl
I'm rooting for you Louis. Started actively trying to quit PMO as well and the journey has not been easy. I also struggled with my triggers. For me, the triggers were on twitter and Instagram. Initially I tried to balance em but I kept relapsing whenever I'd see nudity or suggestive content. Best option was for me to stop using Twitter completely because it had too many PMO memories. Such an extreme measure might not be as good for you but you can try to set some parental controls for it to limit the adult content you see. Hamza is completely right "Only you can help yourself" our nofap journey is something only we can do. I believe in you man, we'll beat this damn monster
I just searched for massage parlers near me . Then I searched for some erotic parlers near me . Then I went on one of their websites and saw pictures of hot girls on that. Then I searched for sex scenes on YouTube . I saw them for a few seconds and then I realised what I was doing and came back . Now I’m getting intense urges to watch porn and masturbate . I’m trying my best to control them but my mind is in 70 percent control right now which is telling me to fap and not edge . As usually whenever I have edged I get really depressed and urges become extreme in the next few days and then I fap. So should I just fap right now and start my steak again or should I continue with my steak and and go depressed and fight the extreme urges for a few days till my urges become less. I have acid reflux which is becoming intense since I have started nofap since 7 days I guess it’s because of stress and anxiety. Please suggest I know only I can beat this addiction but I really need your advice and support guys . I have seen a few glimpses of hot videos on YouTube some time back and have not fapped yet but my urges are extreme right now . Will this be considered a relapse if I have not fapped yet ?
I relapsed . So I’m gonna start my journal again. I will be careful this time and will not let boredom or stress control me. I will deal with them in a healthy manner .
I’m happy though that I could go 9 days without PMO after months. So this time I’m gonna make it till 1st January 2024 that’s 56 days from now . So let’s go .
Don’t do it bro. I know this feeling sucks ass but stay strong you can do it, in. Few days the urges will go and you will be 100% mins strong. Just don’t watch anything that gives you urges and you will be fine.
I know bro but you know what I have relapsed two times today and one time yesterday. my concentration level has become zero. My assignments are on my head and since I relapsed for the first time yesterday I have not been able to focus at all on my studies and I am getting extreme stress because of this. I relapsed twice today. I have zero energy in my body. I am not feeling well at all and to be honest, I am getting suicidal thoughts a lot as I have been trying to beat this addiction for 7 years now and I have not been able to do it. So I am just feeling like giving up on life and leaving this world behind.
you relapse because you want to relapse and your not trying hard enough! I have a friend that was addicted to heroin for 8 years and he’s been clean for 14 years. If you really really wanted you can beat any addiction you want.. shit you can do anything you want in this world, anything. just need to put your mind into it hard enough, but if you continue letting your mind controlling you, you will fail every time. Like I said before forget about watching anything that triggers you urges. Don’t do it, just don’t. Since I started this journey I uninstalled Instagram, Facebook & deleted all my favorites porn websites from my phone & let me tell you that has helped me tremendously, because Last time I fail on a 13 day streak because I was on Instagram & I would sometimes see post that would trigger my urges but this time I won’t make the same mistake. Killing your self is never the answer. Stay strong soldier & remember the mind don’t control you, you control the mind
Thanks a lot man for your kind words and support. Your words have really motivated me . I’m gonna try my level best to beat this addiction. I’m gonna stay strong and not let my mind control me.
You will be really disappointed to hear that I relapsed again a few seconds ago. I don’t know how will I beat this demon. Whenever I get extreme stress because of studies or anything in my life I relapse. It’s a coping mechanism for me. I guess I need to work on my assignments and I need to understand my studies as I’m in my year 3 . I got all my assignments made till year 2 through someone else. Now I’m in my year 3 and I don’t know a thing about my degree till now. I have no friends in university and I don’t know my modules at all. Again I’m getting my assignments made through someone else but I’m getting scared that I might get caught this year . Also I have severe social anxiety and concentration issues . I recently got diagnosed with sleep apnea as well. I have acid reflux too. I have severe brain fog most of the time . I’m in a relationship with my girlfriend since 2 years even though I have no future with her . I’m just lying to her as I have got attached to her now but due to family differences we can never get married neither I want to get married to her . Tbh I only got into a relationship with her to loose my virginity which I’ve already done . I guess it was because of her body that I got into a relationship with her . I’m feeling very Guilty because of this also I’m lying to her that we have a future together so that she doesn’t leave me. Now it’s been two been since our realationship has become long distance . I get suicidal thoughts a lot since 2 years but still I’m trying my best to control them . All these problems are there only because of this porn addiction and still I’m doing it again and again and again . I wish I had never seen it ever in my life and I wish it didn’t exist in this world . I really wish that . This addiction has ruined my motivation and changed the structure of my brain completely.
Bro like I said before, you are “NOT TRYING” you can’t be like oh yeah am a try and then 10 seconds later oh shit i did it. Either you take this seriously or you don’t. We can’t only do so much to help you, if you don’t want to help yourself you’re screwed! Honestly my recommendation is try and find professional help because for what I can see you don’t want to take that step of dedication on your own. Professionals can help you in ways that we can’t. Like I said before, you control your mind and not the other way around, if you really wanted to quit you could but you rather continue this vicious cycle for 10 seconds of high♂️ idk if you know what heroine addicted go through but the physical and mental pain is beyond understanding for those who haven’t felt it. If my friend was able to get clean from that shit like many have, we can also get clean from this shit. When I get urges I think of my friend & I instantly get back my motivation thinking; no way I’ll give in, if my boy didn’t do it I won’t either. You need to ask yourself do I want a 10 second of high or you want to help yourself
Keep being honest and transparent. Those two things are a crucial part of recovery. It's nice to hear about all the successes but it's also important to hear about the struggles. Thank you for your contributions thus far. Wishing you the best!
Stomach problems associated with sobriety and recovery, no. However, maybe you have something else going on. If it continues, consulting with a local physician is probably your best bet. Hope you feel better soon.
