Your body is doing what it needs to do. Let it. Some have lots of WD, others have very few or none. Your body will do what is right for your body. Just be aware of the potential for the Chaser Effect to show up. Have a look at the Glossary at the top of this page for definitions of abbreviations and terms (including Chaser Effect) that may be unfamiliar to you. One day at a time is how we all succeed.
Day 21 wow. Only 1 wet dream in this period. But somehow I feel I'm cheating as I'm fantasizing everyday sexual thoughts with pleasure.
Hi! Sexual thoughts can have similar effects as watching porn, I recommend to do your best not to let yourself be overwhelmed by them. Don´t suppress them violently, but also do not surrender to them. Good luck!
I just found this thread and was inspired by everyone's efforts and achievements so far. I recently joined this forum and started a noPMO streak. Is it still possible for me to join you guys?
Most my sexual fantasies start when I'm sleeping more then I should in the mornings. I should try to force myself to wake up just on time from now on.
Yes, that´s a good idea indeed. That also trains your will, so it´s definitely useful to do so. I started using alarm every day even though I don´t have to recently as well (that was mainly to have enough time for my morning prayer though ;D). And it works well! You need to, however, go sleep at reasonable time so you have enough rest.
Oh, I take the reasonable approach and pledge one day at a time. Someday's I don't pledge because I know I am at risk of cracking, and do not feel the need to put that type of pressure on myself. What happens after day 90 for you? Do you pledge any more time? or just live your life. I am kind of on the living my life stage with the hope to have a streak of 90 days if it works its way into my life. I am kind of thinking it might this summer. We shall see.
Im hoping to get to 90 days and hang on for as long as I can after that, and ultimately my goal is to be “cured”. That would have seemed impossible not long ago but I also never imagined I could be 48 days and counting without porn or jerking off, it really is amazing what you can do if you really put your mind to it, I used to beat it to porn pretty much every day, it’s like breaking a drug addiction really you need to admit you have a problem and then channel all your willpower into getting better hoping to
Thank you! I'm only a few days in and the urges are high. I'm not even horny but my mind is desperately searching for a reason to watch porn. I have to constantly remind it that there is no such thing as a good reason to watch porn. I have to stay strong!
I'm having constant urges. It's a constant battle in my head. A voice tells me its okay to fap one time or to call an old escort that I liked... But then I think about the dreadful feeling afterwards I get and not to mention the loss of so much money and a decrease in my willingness to talk to normal women in daily life.
I met my fifteen day goal and I couldnt resist to fap. At least I met my short term goal, so now I will do something like that again. This time has to go higher, so I will aim for 20 days. I give my word that I will not masturbate for 20 days. (Yeah I know that the challenge is 90 days, but I would prefer to go slowly)
My counter isn't accurate because I reset again a day or two after I reset the counter from the reset prior to the latest one. I've been feeling good recently though because I haven't let any thoughts come into my mind. One thing that is helping me is not logging into this forum too often.
Made it a week before I cracked pretty good, but not as good as the last streak. Going for the best of the run, this time. I promise to not PMO for 24 hours.
