When I get horny its like I stop thinking logically and only focus on pleasure. It's like nothing I've ever experienced. I edged last night to my imagination and relapsed fully about an hour ago to P. I feel like shit. The chaser effect has been hitting me so hard the last couple of weeks it's tough. I'm getting right back in the trail of course. I've been doing NoFap for a long time and its still a big problem. I'm going to make short term goals like 3 days, then one week, then 10 days etc... Wish me luck guys!
Totally agree unfortunately. I have been trying the hypnosis track from yourbrainonporn and it seem to work as long as I stay consistent. My goal is to play it every day for next few weeks, get that reinforced into my brain grooves. Stay with it!
Exactly, personally I only care for getting through the day, and next day the same. I've seen so many good guys lost in the whole "performance anxiety" cycle. I think we are all in this situation because we have obsessive minds, I guess it's just the nature of the beast. Breaking the "what if..." habit is half of the battle.
I was meditating almost everyday when I did my longest streak (66 days) so I'm going to start doing that again.
try that for a few months, just get get used to not doing it every day. then go back to trying 90 days again. that is what I did, and now I am trying 90 days again. I am almost on day 5. only 85 days to go. whats you get a good start and get momentum going it gets a tiny bit easier. for me anyway.
I have had several short streaks, ranging from 5 to usually 9-10 days. Sometimes I can get to 12 or 13 but then I cave! Haven't been able to break over 30 days in 2 years. Getting those streaks has built up some resistance but I am still addicted. And yes, I agree it's a tiny change but at least in the right direction. Let's keep moving the boulder up the hill and we will get it there and it will stay put!
The way I like to think of it is like hornyness is like other negative emotions, like depression, anxiety, fear, etc. To escape these feelings, the only thing we can really do is try to plug your nose and dive into it, and end up waiting it out. Which may take A LONG TIME, but will be very worth it, even if little results show even with some time.
I am currently tempted to fall again in PMO, but I have remained constant and so I did, I gradually adding the first few days one and then 5 and then 10 and so on and little by little you will get a streak. There are times when I'm tempted but I just think of going to any page of P ... but I keep myself strong and do not go beyond thoughts, also today I had to close twitter because there are publications that tempt me to see sexy girls, Breasts and sometimes images of sexual nature, so close it. To keep my streak and my rebooting. My current goal is to arrive at 120 days or before my birthday which is the 23rd of August. That will be my personal birthday gift.
