  1. I'm feeling on fire lately and as if nothing can stop me. This video helped get me back on track. The part where he says "You're either on this path or you're not" really spoke to me as I've wavered heavily last month in PMO/NoFap every seven days because of wd. He mentions that wd are something that needs controlled since they are caused by fantasizing about women. Doing my absolute best lately to increase the intensity of my schedule and to stay motivated with tunnel vision towards a definitive goal, one step at a time.
     
  2. How are all of you guys doing lately?

  4. Doing great as of now! My motivation has been renewed with a purpose that is aggressively overpowering my sexual desires.

  5. I don't want to get into the habit of obsessing over my day count, but I will say that I have finally gotten back into double digits and am feeling really excited to be back in that state because it's been a while since I've gotten past 7 days. I will continue to post here as I go along and I encourage you all the same! We're all in this together and we will make it out of this addiction!

    I had gone for a short course on Yoga, they only told us we shouldn’t fall asleep.

    Perhaps due to the kind of breaths you’re taking?
    Are you using the “Ujjain breath”(Breath of Victory)?
    This breath is actually is midl form of what we do when we were snoring is what I was told.

  8. Ah I see. I'll be sure to start researching breaths then! It looks like I'm doing the Ujjain breaths but I'm not entirely sure since I don't know about the others yet
    Huh really? Also do you usually sit upright when doing it or how do you guys usually approach that part of it?

    I've been meditating daily for almost a year now. It really brought me a relaxed and clear lifestyle so far.

    If you are reaaally tired, then sleep and do it another time. But You should sit with your back straight, and just relax and focus on your breathing. When you fall asleep, you lost your focus/concentration. You should really try to stay present and be aware of the thoughts and feelings you experience. Just like a powernap, just try to clear your head and relax.

    Good luck! ;)

  10. I'm feeling at a low point as well right now. Keep on going man though! I'm currently going for the 90 day reboot by the end of the year, so I can't fail again or I'll miss my goal. Set a goal and go for it!

  12. I can't afford to fail again if I'm gonna achieve my goal of 90 days minimum by the end of the year. So far going strong and am slowly getting better in multiple areas and doing my best to block out all sexual thoughts.

  13. I've completely ended my day counter (even personal one) and it's made a huge difference for some reason. I just feel like I can live without pmo now and am used to it.

  16. Month one nearly finished of no MO and feeling really good (still not counting days, but i started early this month so i know its been that long). I feel ready to seal the deal and go all in this next month and cut off P entirely. I've learned that I basically need to develop an abusive relationship with my phone and cut it out of my life as much as possible. I turned off all notifcations and it has been a huge game changer for me. How are things for you guys?

  20. Hey man, relapsed the last 2 days after a 16 day streak. First time was with P, then I did it another 2 times w/o yesterday. I felt really confident after getting over the PMO, but when I did it last night THAT's when it really hit me.

    I rationalized about NF, how I have doubts about it and that it's taking up too much of my life, and how I have to start living my life. I literally wrote the same type of stuff a month ago after relapsing.

    Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me right? Hoping to be aware about this mentality for the future.

    I've been really looking at this problem since August 1st, and the good thing, despite all of my stumbles, is that I'm still working at it.

    I think there's a lot more at play than just porn for me, specifically dopamine stuff like that. Deleted my Tinder and Hinge today after creating them again 2 days ago. Found myself constantly thinking about them and always checking them. I tried to convince myself 2 days ago that I needed to start doing that stuff because if I want to actually start dating again...I actually have to start dating. I think this is me wanting the easy way out of instant gratification and trying to reject the delayed gratification struggle that is NoFap.

    Sometimes I see stuff about HAVING to push through urges, and sometimes I see how that's the worst thing you can do. I hope people stay active on this thread and we help each other, because that's 1 thing I haven't really tried yet, working with other people I guess. I mainly write about it a lot in my journal (online and physical) and work on it with my therapist.

    I think stressing about 90 days can be a little dangerous too, because the anxiety of that number makes it feel impossible and implants a lot of negative emotions into your head that lead you back to relapse.

    Sorry if that was kind of a dump, but let's keep pushing through. Flaws and all.
