    I have tried using mindfulness mediation. It does work for me. Also I live near a railway line about half a mile from my home, so I go for a run every now and then.
    But Ive never really been able to incorporate cold showers in my routine. It gets very cold here. It is actually snowing right now.

    This story gives me a lot of inspiration. Some of your thoughts and feeling, I had the same sometimes. Your journey has just begun. Your doing fantastic!
     
  3. Thanks man :). I am glad I can be an inspiration! Yes it seems a lot of people here go through the same thing, and that is comforting, knowing your not alone :). You will get here as well, I believe that!

  4. Good, and yes it works for me as well. My main problem is finding the natural breath and not forcing it. Good that you are exercising. Would recommend doing it every day though, I have started doing that. On my second day now, will go for it!

    I am just trying (and failing) to weave together a journal post about my feminism, and my dismay at the attitudes to feminism from lots of the folk, men and women, here. But your post is just how I feel.

    (N.B. Sorry my reply is a month too late, I know the thread's moved on.)

    I'm not sure what side you are on. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Porn is harmful if abused, don't get me wrong, but I cannot see in anyway how it is degrading towards women. We masturbate because we love women and womens bodies. It is a celebration of whatever if masterbate too. Its like saying if someone lion eats a zebra, its demeaning to the zebra? The lions doing it because it loves the zebra. Its Bananas.
     
  9. Thanks man :)

    Thank you...very inspiring. If one person can come out of this dark compulsive world others can too....really motivating. I felt as if i was reading my own life story.

  12. This was you first thread from Nov 3rd. I'm just taking a stroll into the past and reading member's first threads. Reminds me of how cohesive this fellowship is.

    DUDE! The part where your thoughts freaked you out is exactly what happened to me at 15! I actually begged my folks to take me to the hospital (which happened) after thoughts similar to what you described. That was the first time I was certain I had a problem. The internet is really a blessing AND a curse, though the lines are easily blurred to most. Especially for what we at NoFap strive to do.

    That's quite a inspirational testimonial & what a read... Very very proud of you, the world could do with a few more people like you... Rob
     
  16. Thanks for reading :).

    I am glad I could motivate you, and I am still not out. The compulsiveness is still a problem, but I am much better :). You can do it as well :).

    Thanks for this, as always you're there @StopTheMusic :).

    Great man :). Take a look at this one, this is where I am more at accurately: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...first-time-in-my-life-my-second-story.143418/

    Yes the thoughts could be really debilitating. But thankfully now I feel much more free and in control myself. So going through this process with no PMO, and working on yourself helps. Also I see a psychologist which I will see again next week. I am glad this could help though :).

    Thanks man :). For the kind words and you taking the time to read it :).

  18. Thanks friend :). It needs to go up from here, or up and down is fine, as long as we get out from under this in the end :).

  19. I know EXACTLY what thoughts your talking about man... I've had those same thoughts in the past. They hit me like bat out of hell my freshmen year of high school at age 14..... That year, although I was doing sports and doing well academically I was going to through hell and back in my head... Man I had thoughts of all types of LEWD THINGS! Things I would have never dared to watch... For me it was thoughts of adults engaging in these acts. Man that disturbed me on the inside all of that year to the point of attempted suicide.... before the suicide attempt I would shave my thick eye brows off sporadically during that particular school year to "try and the take the focus from my thoughts" sadly it worked only a little bit .... eventually the thoughts faded away... but I'll never forget that time in my life man... It was a private WAR that drove ME CRAZY and unfortunelty I had no one to talk to about it o I did the best I could to manage....

    CONGRATS ON 4 MONTHS + OF NOFAP MAN! :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_clap::emoji_clap:

    IT SAYS A LOT TO YOUR DETERMINATION TO HALT PMO FROM RUNNING YOUR LIFE ANY. LONGER!

    your story was inspiring for me. you said about mental side effects of porn and maturation.. i dont know if you have experienced any physical side effects. weak eyesight, hair thining and looking older than my age, have been physical side effects for me. i really want to quit this habit because its destroying my youth.
