Of course you can join. If you have avoided no P subs since Jan 1, then you are doing better than Terry and I as we both just relapsed yesterday. Welcome, brother.
This must be Day 1 since it was yesterday morning that I relapsed. Feeling strong and committed with no desire to turn my relapse into a binge. Onward and upward, fellas.
Day 3 and still here, still feeling urges but no peeking or relapse so that's good. Anyone else struggling?
Just started day 5. I had a bad dream about relapsing last night and woke up with a cold sweat at like 2 in the morning. I've been having a lot of mood swings and have been irritable with my family lately which definitely isn't normal for me. I've also been getting nauseous every time I have a strong urge to masturbate, is that normal ??
You shouldn't feel nauseous about M so maybe you are being too hard on yourself and getting phobic about the whole PMO thing. I am 58 and been PMO'ing a long time (about 45 of those years) and it didn't kill me, just made my prostate enlarge from over use. Based on your avatar pic, you are likely a teenager so my advice is to learn to control and moderate PMO in your life with the goal of no porn. Don't sweat it too much if you M because P is the real villain here. Hope that helps.
Day 4 - had some urges while home alone with internet all day but handled them well by avoiding my devices.
Looks like I'm the only one posting now on this challenge. That's okay, I am retired and have time to post in several places. Did a little peeking this morning but shut it down after a few minutes and went and made breakfast instead. No M and no P subs so don't feel too bad and won't reset.
Day 10 of no p-subs. I'm glad to have taken on this challenge, as it's always been p-subs that lead to full on PMO for me. A couple of days ago I had some strong urges during the day after an erotic dream during the night. It was very tempting to start looking at them, so it was good to have this challenge to stop me from going down that road.
Relapsed today so back to day 1 but that's okay because I got this message from a former AP which I believe will be a game changer for all of us to quit this addiction. I am hopeful anyways so have posted it here for you all to read as well. It is a free download of an ebook. it´s SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION. here´s the link to it: SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION this book was eye opening for me (and i thought i knew it all ). this book not only shows a clear effective way to break easily from pmo but it also shows that we´re doing nofap for different reasons than we do pmo. most of us do nofap because of the detrimental effects of pmo, it´s a destructive behaviour, no doubt. but that by itself is not motivating enough in the long run, because deep down we think pmo is a pleasure and we´re doing a sacrifice of breaking free from it. we are, in a way, deprived. what this book shows very clearly is that the entire pmo behaviour as "pleasure" is a complete illusion, a lie. i won´t get into details, but please read the book. it´s really groundbreaking because once you see the reasons why you do pmo are not what you think, the entire "need" for pmo falls apart like a domino line. so yesterday, 10/1/2021, i did the last pmo session of my life and i will never do pmo again i stop defending the counting of days because that tends towards "an event" and may focus the attention of the rebooter on the number of days gone and ahead, instead of focusing in living life to it´s fullest now. I hope this helps Have a good year bro!!! But that's okay because I got this
Thanks for sharing this, I'll take a look. I seem to be in a good place right now as far as nofap goes so I'm not looking for a different approach, but I'm sure it's good info to have. I wish you all the best with it. I'm on day 15 for no psubs now - again, it's been really helpful to me to have drawn this line so thanks for setting up this challenge!
Day 11 and feelin good. Only get the urges once every day or two now which is really nice. I definitely notice that not using porn substitutes has curbed my sexual appetite a lot, I think in a healthy way. I have a lot more brain power to focus on academics and relationships. Appreciate you guys
