    Personal Journey

    Edit 1/20/2020: I am so glad how successful and popular this thread has become. I love how many people it reached, how many people this is going to help, how many people this will impact. Really great stuff.

    Edit 2/2/2020: So many people are not coming back every day and doing their daily check up. This is bad. If you are seeing this, make a commitment! Trust me, when you make a commitment to come back everyday and be actively engaged, you will notice your determination and your willingness to have longer/better streaks will increase tremendously. My average relapse time has went from 1-2 days, to 7-9 days since I started this thread. You can do it!

    Edit 8/12/2020: Help.. Rock bottom.

    Edit 3/1/2021: I'm still here. I'm trying every single day to quit this nasty pmo habit. I've failed hundreds of times, but I refuse to give up. It's been really really tough. I've quitted cigarettes and have quitted every drug you could imagine, and porn in my opinion is way harder to quit.

    I've seen the worst of the worst porns out there, seen escorts, seen dominatrixes (bdsm you pay for), done live skype sex video calls, and spent tons of $$$$ on sex related businesses at the age of 20. This addiction has completely spiraled out of control. I truly believe I must be in the top 99% for porn/sex addiction.

    My friends would of never in their life imagined that this nice guy is doing all this behind secret. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of all the opportunities i missed out on. I'm sick of all the chances with women I messed up with. I'm sick of all the social anxiety moments I had at gatherings and parties. I'm sick at all the damage my brain has went through. I'm sick of the depression, the loneliness, the pain, the addiction. I'm so fucking sick of all this bullshit!!

    But guess what? I'm going do it this time. I really am. I've got too much to lose. I've got too many people counting on me. I've got too many dreams and aspirations. I've got too many goals. I've got too many things to experience in life to waste it on a 5 second orgasm.

    Edit 7/28/2021: I now average 7-15 days before I relapse. Progress is slow my friends.

    Edit 8/27/2022: It's been a couple months. I almost gave up. I found a loophole with IOS screen time on my iphone where can I watch P anytime no matter what, even though i had so many blockers. But you know what, I realized that no matter how many blockers in the world you have, you will still relapse because you will try to find a way to access P, if you never change your mindset. I've decided to just use my shill willpower and determination to get through this. It's not about motivation. Relapsing is very unmotivating. BUT it's ABOUT DRIVE. YOU BECOME AMAZING THROUGH DRIVE AND PERSEVERENCE. YOU DON'T BECOME GREAT THROUGH MOTIVATION, IT'S DRIVE! KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT. I WILL CONQUER THIS, I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL! Let's go!

    edit may 12, 2023: Hey guys, I am now so officially done with porn and masturbating. I have found real love and have been struggling with Erectile dysfunction with her at the age of 22. I really love this girl.. she's the world to me, and she cried today thinking that i wasn't attracted to her because I couldn't get hard. It broke my heart I almost cried. But she's so cute, caring, helpful, selfless, smart.. I could go on.. I see a potential future with her. I think today is the day I decide thst Im not gonna let porn win against love, sorry. She is literally an angel sent from heaven. This is it boys, I stop here for real. Please. God, I need this.

    My highest streak so far: 25 days (October 2021)

    ------------------------------------------

    Start your journey off with my favorite motivational video. Please watch. It's only 1 minute.



    As you lay on your death bed, how will you feel? Will you feel accomplished or will you feel as if you lived a life of many regrets? If you live a life unaccomplished with many regrets, your dreams and everything you've ever wanted to do will die with you. It's that simple. So take action today and work on living your best life! This all starts with NoFap.

    Today is day 1 for me and comes a long journey ahead! I want you guys to celebrate your milestones, tell your stories, why you guys relapsed, discuss tips and tricks, and so on. I'm here for you, others are here from you. Porn addiction is a silent issue, but not here. :)

    day 2 going strong

    I'm so incredibly addicted to porn, that I sometimes scream in to my pillow or have headache type urges on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th day of NoFap. Even going past 1 week is incredibly difficult and has been almost impossible for me every time I try to go on NoFap. I have watched porn since I was 8, fapped since I was 12, and have been fapping ever since (i'm 19). I just fapped yesterday and I feel like i'm digging my own grave. It sucks so bad that I just want to cry at times.

    Porn has given me social anxiety, slower thinking (brain fog), depression, awkward moments/situations with friends and random people, low emotional intelligence, lack of personality, Attention deficit disorder (ADD), sleepiness/lack of energy, laziness, girls don't look as pretty, desensitization, monotone speech, Erectile dysfunction, lack of motivation, ACNE, thinner hair, and so on. There's also something called the "Blunted Effect" in which you look emotionally flat lined, as if you are a robot or "grey" and you can't really express feelings of joy, excitement, happiness, sadness, panic like how a normal person should. I can't believe I have all these symptoms... and yet I still thought fapping was a good idea... PMO = lower testosterone levels + lower dopamine levels = symptoms.

    I must stop because like you and so many others, I have dreams and aspirations. I want to reach a higher vibration and look at the world from a beautiful, creative, and spiritual perspective as if I was a kid. I want to start my own business, find my soulmate, raise kids, be successful, and live to the fullest. I have failed hundreds of times (literally hundreds of times) and have used countless excuses along my NoFap journey, but this time I'm absolutely 100% determined to make NoFap not just a journey, but a permanent lifestyle.

    Nice thread. For the first 2 weeks I would avoid being alone or being at home as long as possible. Work more, socialize more, go outside to the gym more, hell go eat out to a nice place just to avoid being home. Do this until the urge somewhat settles down.

    I'm new, and it seems like I clicked the thread at the right time. Good luck guys.

    Day 1. I need a full reset. Ive been addicted to internet porn for most of my teenage life. It’s been mindless, I didn't even think about it. Now I’m 17 and I’m with an amazing girl who I’m lucky to have, but I have trouble staying hard because it isn't the environment I’m used to. Head feel very different compared to masterbation. Im hoping to make 90 days as well. I probably wont help my goals to have a girl teasing me all the time, but i think if i can make 90 days it will help my mind reprogram. I really think this is a beatable problem, I hope company helps. Thanks for being here. Sorry for that bad pun at the end there i couldn't help it.

    This seems like sound advice. Thank you. The mental game does seem like a big issue. Does it get easier later on?

    Are you abstaining only from Porn and masturbation? What about orgasm? I would still avoid orgasm with a girlfriend.

    Today, I had some fights with P because I ran into some temptations while watching about computer security on twitter, but I managed to overcome it, I do not deny that thoughts came to me about what I was doing before, but I remembered the reason why I am here, day 6
