  2. Day 9

    Had some urges today, but I got over them quickly. It rained a lot today where I live.

    Another thing that has happened today is that I have done a lot of art homework.

    Also, I haven't really updated the Naruto post so much because I'm not in the right "Naruto mindset/mood" to do it yet. Lately, I've just been doing homework and chatting up with 2 of my friends.

    Lately, pmo hasn't been on my mind so much because of all of the things that I've been doing everyday.

    If you have any questions, please ask me. I'd be glad to help.


    Song of the day:
    Tokyo Machine - Play (Chime remix) [Dubstep]

    Day 3! I've been having a lot of urges lately but I feel like I'm getting better at dealing with them. Can't get complacent though

    Day 7
    Overall I have slept really well this past week but last night I couldn't fall asleep. It often happens to me that I start focusing on falling asleep in order to be fresh the next morning and that makes me stay awake almost all night. I sleep much better when I feel like I just want to stay in bed without falling asleep.

  7. Day 4: Been dealing with migraines and sinus pain today. Ended up taking a brief nap to get some relief from the pain. Urges are at least low, so that’s good. Stay strong, brothers!

    @rotten_tomato Hang in there, stay vigilant, and get some more positivity into your life. Take heart. You can do this!

    Hi all,
    Today is day 12 for me. I feel strongly, and that is because I visit this site regularly, usually daily unless I forget. I set a little chime in my phone to remind me.

    @MrYang29 I have only gone 12 days so far, but I suspect that you were covering up your loneliness with the habit, right? Now that you don't fap, you realize the loneliness you have truly been feeling toward the opposite sex?

    No one is too dumb to meditate, nor to recover from porn or masturbating.
    If meditation does not seem to "work" for you, maybe you will want to modify your approach. When I started meditating, I hoped I would see a change quickly, but I was not attached to seeing one, so I kept going even when meditating did not seem to do much. After a short time for me, meditating made a noticeable difference: It was like two weeks. Others say that they take longer to feel a difference. Not noticing does not mean there is no difference, though. Anyway, I thought I would encourage you to consider trying a different approach. You can look up different types of meditation that you maybe have not tried. Just please do not dissociate or depersonalize when you do it. That sounds scary, but it is not really. It simply means, Do not detach from yourself if someone in a guided meditation asks you to picture yourself from outside yourself. I can picture myself without losing my identity, which is the healthy way to do it, I strongly feel. Things like getting 'out of oneself' cause difficulties in thinking. Nonetheless, meditation is a good idea for everyone, I feel, especially those of us who need to recover mentally. We who do NoFap to quit need to recover mentally.

    Whatever you decide about the above, keep up the struggle against PM! Good health to you, physically and mentally.

    Everything is under control. Brain fog is my only problem, for now.

    i felt lonely in the journey, especially because i live by myself. but, i know that loneliness only makes me stronger, and i saw it as a challenge to mold my character. focus on my work help a lot to not focus on that feeling. also, find your passion, for me it's bodybuilding. and about the opposite sex, I'm a PUA practitioner. so, i like to approach and make a connection with women, so i don't have a problem with the opposite sex.

    I dont know, meditation doesnt work for me. Now I will try every 30 min before sleep I play on my guitar. Doing finger exercises or something. Thats the only way where I can "meditate"
    Thanks

    The peeking gets less and less. The urge is rising but I just dont want to fap. Doing this with a friend is a better motivation than I thought!

    Yesterday I was giving an online test for practice on my brother's laptop. Being away from big screens for 2 years ( because I was out of my state for study ), now whenever I see big screens I get excited ( basically to see porn ). Same happen while giving that test. When I was midway of the test, a huge urge came. That urge was so powerful that I was willing to quit test and see porn rather. That urge was the most powerful urge that I ever got in my Nofap journey. I tried to focus on the question but that wasn't working for me. So I just closed my eyes for some time and just thought about the situation and realised that how stupid the idea of watching porn is...
    So I just survived from that demon.
    And now I am more powerful than before...:)
