Absolutely it does help to abstain from P. Similar situation here. I am going out with some friends more because we are riding together now. The sport, in my case cycling, has a great bonding impact on friendships. Try maybe finding somebody to go running with or someone to go to the gym with.

I am not taking the challenges too seriously, that is my problem. The best for me would be to open up to a friend about my problem and share my struggles in person.

Yeah I probably should join a sports club or something... Going to the gym and running is very lonely. I'm also quite competitive so that would probably be beneficial for my gains. Maybe you can look for an accountability partner online. IRL this topic can often get weird. Although that doesn't apply to all people ofc.

Glad you are starting over mate. This is just another obstacle.

It’s just a constant struggle, but at least I have something to strive for. Every day without PMO feels like an accomplishment. I know why I do this, I do not want to be a slave...

Sorry to hear, brother. You'll get over it for sure!

The same here. PMO is about the last thing I'd like to engage now. It's good to see you progressing steadily. You've got this :)

@M_H it was like this for the past days, mostly because of me working a lot and also had stomach sickness. But right, sometimes it’s like this during the streaks for some reason. It will pass, for now I am enjoying the zero temptation mode I am in :)
Thanks for your words @Kierann, things are getting better here, hope you are well

Congrats, back to 30!

For me they come in waves. Maybe all every two weeks for about two days per instance.

I am swimming in rough sea then :D

You got this :)

Slowly but surely, you said it right. All the best

Thanks @M_H for taking the effort to comment. All the best for you as well friend

no sir..thats really nice that you went 58 days without it..best of luck..

Cheers both of you. @M_H The progress is there you just have to keep on pushing further and further until you finally kill it.

You're doing great actually. You should be proud of yourself.

Cheers Kieran! I have had many voices in my head telling me to give up and that it’s not worth it. The give up mentality then projects itself in other aspects of life and I do not want that. We all have to stay strong and alert in order to move forward in life.

Give Nofap Panic button a try. See how that works. It's at the top right corner.

I am fine Brother, since I went for the run and took a shower I am fully at my senses

Thank you my friend

Cheers Kierann, you are the first Fapstronaut I came across with here and not regretting that. I wish you amazing 2023

Thanks Brother, appreciate it. Without the help here I would certainly not make it this far

I too feel like it gets easier, but with our big streaks we have much to lose. So keep your guard up mate.

Absolutely, I am not going to ease myself up. I will keep on fighting, life’s so much better now

Great to hear mate!

Likewise :)

Thanks you too bro!

@Kierann and @Pauley, thank you my brothers

I feel like Gregory Peck Spellbound.

Haven’t seen that one, but thanks for the tip!

Cheers! Holding strong, 60 to go

Right! That's about when reading charts and waiting on tickers doesn't help. That sex energy needs more to be sublimated. You need to engage in some form of physical exercise or else relapse will be on you. Keep me updated brother.

Actually I was so busy at the charts yesterday that I pushed the thoughts away immediately. But it’s true, physical activity helps the most. I went for a bicycle ride today, freezing cold in the snow, no thoughts about relapsing whatsoever.
