Went 2 to 3 months, thought I had it beat, wasn't really timing it, did just mo, successfully went about 8 months and really did have it beat once about 10 years ago so i know its possible but haven been getting all backed up feeling after usually about 2 months. Would love to really get to like the month mark where im pro again like the old days.
When does it get easier? For me it gets more difficult after about 2 months. I start to feel all backed up and get pains and sex dreams. Does anyone else experience this?
Day 15 as Padawan, and I am definitely on a role now. I haven't had any serious urges other than that one day I was really tired. Why? Because I am controlling my time, energy and thoughts as much as is humanly possible. I never committed to hard mode but I guess I am doing that because why not? You can do nofap... or you can do SUPER NOFAP! This is all about mindset and where you choose to go with your life. You're going up or down all the time, but the general trend of up and down is up to you. In the spirit of Joseph Campbell, follow your bliss. But also in the spirit of Carl Jung, follow your anxiety to overcome neurosis and addiction. There isn't any living by just subsistence, because in that way you are actually spiritually dying. If you were really a Jedi, what would you be doing? You would be living a very meaningful life, but also a very challenging life. Those of us here addicted to porn have a great opportunity at personal growth that other people simply don't have. And that is transmuting this suffering into meaning and joy, by going through the pain in bettering our lives. Faith in yourself to be capable to plan out how to overcome this, and then taking the Actions to overcome it is for the strong. Here enjoy this video by Universal Man for those ready to step up to the next level:
Day 2.5 no P Rank 0 due to MO Stupid decision to fish because even though I stopped before I saw anything, I still decided to MO.
0 Days: youngling Had a nice day as a Padawan. Outlined what went wrong and what I'm doing going forward in my reboot journal.
Day 7 - Padawan It has been so long ago since I made it this far. I really feel this platform is helping me achieve my goal. Thank you all for the support!
Day 16 as a Padawan. I think I might be having more anxiety as a withdrawal symptom. Nothing happened but out of nowhere I was having a panic attack. I had to do some relaxing techniques I've been doing in my therapy to calm down. I don't think that it has to indicate that anything bad is happening, even though in the moment that's what it feels like. It's just an irrational response to an unconscious trigger in my mind, but the rest of my life is the same as it was. I'm still making progress with nofap and bettering my life overall.
Day 11 - Padawan. I miss all the things I lost because of covid, I miss hanging around with my friends from college ( I was studying away from home ) , I miss the time when college was not virtual, One year I spent studying by home, but finally in around 2 weeks we are entering school again ( Im from mexico ) . I remember doing Nofap before covid , was easier , because all the social life I had, so guys dont hard on yourselfs.
