Heading today 7: That's a big improvement for me. I already hit 7 days before but I searched about sexy stuff and It was really hard. But, this group is helping me a lot. I know a little bit about human behavior and human beings feel like they have the obligation to be congruent. So if I say to a lot of people that I will do something, I have to fucking do that no matter what. And, I heard that the guy that started MacDonalds used to put pieces o paper with his written goals in all tables of the MacDonalds, so by doing that all his clients would see. This was at the begging of his business, so he clearly crushed his fucking goals. To make the long story short: I will hit the mark of 15 days for the first time!!! (without losing my current strike).
Intrusive thoughts are normal, just don't give a shit about them. And there's one thing called HOCD is the abbreviation for homosexual obsessive-compulsive disorder. Pornography causes that, but once you overcome the addiction this is gonna end as well.
Day 13.it was good. Today I not worked as I planned. In morning I was feeling really hard urges for dopamine from porn Or any other thing(gaming). But i controlled myself and did dopamine fast for 4hours in afternoon and then studied as planned for rest of time. Today I also watched my brain rewire session which helped me alot.
No idea man! Restrictions are starting to lift soon so more things will open up aha! All I know after 90 is just the beginning I have a long way to go!
Day 7: cold showers is my savior. One in the morning, whenever I have at least 3 sexual fantasies, and one in the evening to prevent wet dreams. I'll hit 15 days without losing my current strike!
thats a great advice, a must try . I would even encourage to add a mantra to it like I am strong, able and calm , or I am disciplined , focused and responsible . Repeating this mantra will help boost energy and positivity to go down the right path and it also becomes easy to focus. You can add any mantra of your choice.
Alright I’m Pema day 0 first of all what’s no orgasm mean? If I get a girlfriend can we have sex but not come? Or like ???? also when I nofap two months my balls felt like kind of cramped up and tight. Any advice on this? I read a person say they massaged their genitals and did nofap but that can make me risk start to masturbate I want to stay off masturbating and porn. I’ve been off porn for years and made a 6mo streak off mas. But after talking with girls I go home and think about sex with them leading to fap. I have so many reasons to quit but my main one is that I feel I have more energy to pursue my dream of getting my black belt in Tae Keon Do. I was doing so well by meditating on Sila morality which is a virtue or parami in Buddhism and just not ever touching my genitals but to wash them. And if I start thinking about a naked girl then try to stop and think of something else or if I gonna to masturbate then I have to sit up and meditate till the feeling passes or get outta bed. I can do it. I told myself if I couldn’t do it without nofap I’d come back and post and read till I could do it on my own. I overcame porn substance use video game use. I’ll overcome this so I can live my best life. thanks I had a good handle on nofap but now I’m just masturbating again.
Been a couple of days I havent posted here.Both of them were pretty much low urges and triggers. Today has been pretty hectic with so many triggers to face while doing work on the internet. Although none were as somewhat urges to watch porn. Like it was supposedly only regarded as somewhat a slip.
Day 14. Today I have completed 2 weeks of NoFap successfully and I have also seen some improvements in myself, also faced many problems and side effects during these 2 weeks. I am improved physically but I not observed any improvement mentally, my urges got controlled but nowadays I get no interest in studying and my mind try to procastinate the work. Also I spend much time on online gaming and I really need to control it.
Day 8: Today was kind of weird, I had a lot of crazy thoughts (not sexual) and I got angry because of them. And then my mood suddenly changed to depression and expressionless. But I have a secret weapon to make me happy, I put a pen in my mouth simulating a smile. It ALWAYS works, and this is also backed by science. And I also did my combination of workout + cold shower. I'll hit 15 days without losing my current strike!
