200+ Days Porn Free - Still feeling tempted and having desires

another 6 months and desires will go away. Congratulations for your streak!

 

Keep it up your doing well.
For me personally I think stopping P with M does not work. I tried for 6 months no P but I still had sex with my partner. After I tried hardmode (so no M, O) I felt a lot of changes. Was feeling better after 90 days hardmode but kinda set back a little because i've had sex with orgasm again. Did not use P for 9 months now and the last 3 of them without any O (except for couple times sex last week).
I am not an expert, just sharing my experience.
Porn fucked me up big time, have been addicted to several drugs in the past and I am 5 years clean now, but this is next level. Hardest thing to fight in my opinion, but we can not let this ruin our lives.
Keep strong!

 

That craving for sexual thoughts and sexual content will always be there and people call it LUST, because we are humans. I can say 'IT WILL KEEP COMING'. So stop thinking about 'when it will go'.
The point is to not give in to them. Use your experience (how you avoided cravings before). Someone here gave a suggestion: Be VIGILANT. Talk to yourself about your cravings and eliminate them. I hope there will always be ups and downs in the waves of urges, but you need to CONTROL yourself, and yes that's pain, but there is a lot of gains from self control.
And finally don't fantasize as it will slower your recovery.

 

As far As I've learned flashbacks and withdrawals keep occuring during the reboot. All we can do is keep going, learning about our addiction and it's effect on brain. Exercising, meditation, yoga can really be helpful. If you're concerned about how many days it can take to completely recover well here is the answer
It takes adults to break the habit atleast two months.
While for teens and young adults it takes around 3-5 months.
Few days Ago I searched on google like how many days it actually takes to completely recover, it said '1.6 yrs'. That is around 500+ days and I sought of really agree with that. Because when I had a streak of 104 days on which I relapsed I thought I'm done with the ninety days so yeah I'm completely recovered. We can't expect to be recovered in x days when we ourself were addicted for years. In my case I was addicted now for almost five years so I don't care about the number of days it'll take, I just wanna keep going no matter how strong the temptation is. Also It depends on your habits you've indulged in yourself and the external factors which are affecting your mindset positively or negatively.

 

Btw did you fapped around day 170?

 

Same thing is going on with me as well. This days I have so immense amout of energy, if get a glance over a chick or a women I feel like having sex. But this is what my thought process is, Self talk is the key. I tell myself 'This normal, I'm on nofap and surely my comfort zones are expanding and my mindset is changing as well, I accept it. As a male It's normal for me to have sexual desires I just take a deep breath and let it go. There's no need to feel shame or guilty about it.
