Hey guys, i'm on my 8th day of nofap. I realize that my social lifes does matter. But at the same time, i know i can't do anything about it. During my fapping days, i would feel careless and emotionless. But now, when i walk pass a group of people, i feel more embarrased as compared to my nofap days. I really don't know actually. Should i just give up on nofap?
Are you judging on 8th day ? Give it some time man. You would want to kill yourself once you quit NoFap.
Damn dude, don't say that ever again. You don't have a reason to regret and want your old life back, it's not worth it. The difference between now and a period when you were PMO-ing is that now you know about this problem, effects of watching porn, masturbating too much and other. You are on 8th day, wait for 90 days and then say something. Reboot takes time and you need to be patient.
Well the thing is... i am missing the effects of pmo; the feeling of not caring for life, no stress etc.
It doesn't make sense. Who knows where the PMO road would brought you. Spending your free time and energy for productive things is much better than fapping and being lazy. Imagine yourself as a drug addict... you would probably say: "Well, I miss the feeling after taking this drug and not caring for my life", the same thing is for PMO. I am not here to say what you should do or shouldn't do, but you will be much happier if you stay on NoFap path and reach that 90 days.
conflicted feelings are a part of the first couple of weeks and even months they come and go. Its all about your motivation to quit and how deep is that and how often you review it . For me I was tired of having porn control my life so I stopped after 23 years straight of watching it I knew I could do better and started to value my time and thoughts, If I can do this so can you
I'm on my 9th day today. I have to do 10x more than what i'm doing now that means. I'll do it. If i don't feel any "better" i'm just going back to my old "druggy" life.
23 YEARS. Woah i have'nt even reached my 4th year of addiction. In fact, i'm already trying to stop now to seek the benefits of nofap. I really pity you, 23 years is a horrible amount of time with PMO. Anyway, my motives is to seek the benefits of nofap. And my urges of PMO has literally imperished. Not even a single thought. So i'll guess i'd be doing well and able to make it to 90 days hopefully. Just that, when i say i miss my old days, i actually love being lazy, weak, and but all and pleasure. But that's delusional of me to do. The reality is that my life would be negatively impact and i would regret in my future life. If only it doesn't involve any sort of negativity in my life, i would probably not stop.
30 days, try reaching that first goal and if you don't even like Nofap is worth it then maybe go back to your old ways. I truly believe that you'll "want" to do more and not feel obligated to do more. It won't be easy, some days will be tough as hell, but something made you try NoFap, so give it an earnest shot before you give up. Power to ya dude!! You can do it!
I'll strive for the 90 days. Since like everyone seem to experience more new changes after this long term streak. Anyway, thanks for the well wishes.
Just remember your motivation it has to come from yourself a lot of people on here do a week or maybe 14 days and get overconfident I didn't get to 400 days buy saying how great I am, put in the work and learn from it. I took of 2 years of relapsing to get my current streak the rewards of better confidence and self esteem have more than made up for the dark days of urges and doubt . To do this you have to find YOUR REASON FOR U. And after almost 23 years of porn behind me I am prof anyone can recover. Its not all about numbers its about a life style without porn also you asked me to wish you luck GOOD LUCK U CAN DO THIS
That happens it seemed for me that I was pissed off and confused from about day 14 threw about day 89 it comes and goes remember the feelings are time limited that will help you get threw it
no, try doing some volunteer work instead....maybe it will give you some of time from your urges to get weaker and weaker over time, giving your time to help others.
