in the first weeks, stay away from triggering situations. follow a triggers prevention plan. that will help reduce the probability of engaging in automatic compulsive behaviours.
How's it going now man??? I'm an old school nofapper as well. Been on nofap on and off since 2014-13.
Your post sums it all up nicely. It’s been a around for a while, but it’s still fresh and up to date. Quite a lot to take in, actually. Thank you!
Hey man, thanks for making the LOTR challenge. Seems like a cool one and was my favorite book series growing up.
An amazing post! You addressed the issue from every angle and you really dug deep into the core of the problem. It's almost like a complete book. Congratulations on all the work you put in brother and keep sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you for putting all this in one place. I have been disheartened because I was worried that no one really was able to sustain a streak after I've been struggling so hard, but after browsing the forums I found this post and was amazed by your commitment and your planning. I have taken the tips you provided and tried to incorporate them into my own journey. I hope I can one day be as committed as you!
This post deserves a sticky! Thank you for taking the time to write this. Putting it down on “paper” reinforces the idea and actions. Keep it going brother! I’m getting close to my 180 day goal and your post has inspired me even more to reach it. For me, I enjoy sharing my journey with my friends. Some of them laugh, others are in awe. Around 120 days was when I went to autopilot mode and it has been cruising since.
5 years brother. It took me 5 years and 100% commitment to really quit this insidious addiction. But i quit! And if i quit (and i was HEAVY porn addict) you can quit. Everybody can quit! Just put your mind and heart to it brother, and never give up. Good luck!!
One of the best post I have read here in a long time. The before list I experience now and the after list is how I want to feel. This one bothers me the most "BEFORE - i was altering between flatline periods and extreme urges periods" - I really wish I could feel something in-between, but I swing between flatlines and urges, it's so annoying. Thanks for the post.
Yeah, this post is one of the best. If I were a moderator, I would definitely pin it. Currently approaching 90 days myself and this post helped me get into the mindset for this journey. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it and I hope it can help others like it helped me.
