Thank you very much for providing the links. I'm sure they have valuable information. Sorry to hear about your restart. Don't let this stumble prevent you from achieving your goal. Learn from it and move on. You can do it! All the best in your new streak
Day 23 Completed ✓ So happy to be so close to 30 days clean. Good days, bad days, but every day has been worth it. Every fight won is a great satisfaction, bigger than the one that porn could give me.
Congrats on your 3 weeks of staying clean. I'm hoping to get there soon hopefully participating in a challenge might give me the chance to do it.
Thank you! I know you will make it. I never thought I could stay 7 days clean, but look! I am about to achieve 30 days. I know you can do it too. Don't give up
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I didn't take your advice to heart earlier, and PMO'd. We're back at Day 0. I'm angry with myself - the urges weren't that strong, and it didn't even feel good. I felt dead the entire time. It just felt like I had to. If any of you are in the same scenario, remember that all you're dealing with are thoughts. Despite how it may feel, no one is holding a gun to your head, your brain is just giving you bad advice. Despite how upset with myself I am, I won't let this kill my optimism - if I'm too hard on myself, I won't have any incentive to keep going. I've heard it said countless times that the first few days are the hardest, and I believe it - it's probably been several years since I've lasted longer than a week. I'm excited about that, and the countless other wonderful things I've heard in people's success stories. I'm also excited to try a technique I read online - when urges come, instead of trying to distract yourself (like I did today, and pathetically failed), just let them come. Let them come, and focus all your attention and energy on not giving in. They'll soon fade away, and you'll grow stronger as you realize how powerless they are. I can't vouch for how effective this is since I haven't tried it yet, but I'm very excited to. It makes sense - you'll never win a fight by skulking off and hoping your opponent goes away, you have to face them head-on. Like I said, I'm still optimistic - I have a new weapon to take on the bad guys! Thank you all so much for your support!!

Whoop, forgot to post yesterday! Day 1, all quiet on the NoFap front. Urges weren’t that strong, but I tried the technique I mentioned anyway and it worked quite well! Not letting my guard down, but still excited to keep the streak going! Day 2 is going very well - I’ve noticed improvement already! I brushed my teeth really well for the first time in a long time - it’s not much, but it’s a good start! I got into a bad habit of not taking care of myself, and I’m finally getting the motivation to change that! I also got a pocket journal from the dollar store, and am slowly getting into the habit of writing down everything that makes me happy, and it really helps! I can’t overstate the power of positive thinking, and highly recommend you try this out Today I leave you not with a link, but with a quote from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: “Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, then it’s not the end.”
Day 3 Felt like i should peak but for some reason i didn't other then that another good day in my book.
Good to see you get up guys! Focus not only on leaving PMO, that can be very emotionally and mentally exhausting. They create a new life, acquire new habits, the days will pass and the addiction will be buried. One day at a time Day 26 Completed ✓
Day 0 Resetted cause i gave into my temptation which i could've avoided. Not gonna give up this time.
New day, I relapsed yesterday but I stand up and keep going. I need to cut out all porn-related stuff in my life. I'm preparing to No Nut November and I don't wanna start it at friday
Day 3 and 4 brought with them another, longer power outage. (this isn’t a common thing, 2 of them just happened right next to each other, weird) This time, I learned my lesson. I didn’t let the boredom get to me, and kept busy (even if I wasn’t accomplishing anything, haha). Knowing that one slip-up could erase my entire progress is terrifying, but it keeps me aware. I’m much more aware of my thought process, and it’s become much easier to think positively, which is wonderful! I won’t be taken down that easily anymore A new link for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/3wyozy/no_girlfriend_no_problem/
