Ok, noted. I am far from being cured! But Nofap really works, and I will be rebooting until it is a way of life, second nature. And then I will keep abstaining from porn and masturbation for life. I am convinced. I might relapse, but I will never go back.
Good. Self esteem comes from achievements, and today you achieved something. You put yourself out of your comfort zone and you made it, even though it was unpleasant. You can congratulate yourself with that. You are moving forward and improving! Thanks for sharing.

Day 80/90
Ten days left for my 90 day goal. I will be taking a break from the internet these next ten days. I feel that I have to withdraw a little and contemplate my situation. I have the time and the opportunity.
Hello there, thank you for sharing your incredible story.
Regarding cannabis, maybe you feel like it has freed you from some of your troubles and put things in perspective. I can really relate to that. But let me warn you. After the honeymoon period, that drug is going to limit you and your new...
Welcome to the thread.
Yes there is a connection between internet addiction and porn addiction - all kinds of screen activity excites the nervous system. I have had some success with tech-free weeks.
90 days is quite a mouthful. No-one in here will think less of you if you start with a smaller...
Yes, that is quite normal, don't worry.
Have patience. This will get better with time.
Like @Todor says, you will have to get to know yourself and your underlying problems that you escape from with porn. BUT, this will happen along the way, as long as you stay honest with yourself and don't PMO...
I think a good mix of these would be preferable, because negative reinforcements are alright as a scare tactic, but only if you have a good portion of positive belief in yourself to counter-balance with.
So in order to have a lower barrier for what's acceptable, you must have a dream scenario to...

I'm kinda disappointed in myself for drinking too much this weekend. I didn't give in to PMO, though, which is awesome. And I had a good time with some friends that I don't see so often.
I feel a lot fresher and positive after a weekend of drinking than I normally would - thanks to Nofap...
I'm sorry to hear about your dad, that sounds difficult.
Of course sex and PMO won't give you anything good. Of course nothing in life gives you joy right now - you can't just sit around and expect life to suddenly come up with happiness.
If there is something I've learned from battling...
If you are going to relapse, you might as well don't. Full stop.
If you know what you are doing, then it is in your power to stop.
All else is justification and giving in to the addiction.
Hehe, alright... You seem to have a weird war-fetish! That's okay, but I don't think my tactics are outdated. They work for me and many others on the forums.
If you have any advice that is not obscurely vague war metaphors, please let us know
I second seeing a doctor.
Do something about this.
