A Progressive Challenge-A different kind of challenge- all levels

How awesome is that? Nice.

 

Rathi

Many happy congratulations on achieving this important goal for you! I like your next goal and your reasoning. We're all so happy for you. It was a very tough time but you were tougher. Very inspirational. Keep up the good work!

 

Awesome!! Thanks for joining my thread. To help you do better and meet the other guys, please read the whole thread. It only takes about 15 or 20 minutes. Be sure and post daily for a couple of weeks and then weekly for this big goal, or sooner if you want. You can private message me any time you need.

You've got this!!

 

Alright! Good way to kick up the challenge without overdoing it. If you've made it to 14 days twice already then you know what to expect in the tough days ahead. Please be sure you read the whole thread. These guys here are the best friends you could hope for. Post an update daily because it helps us support you. You can message me privately at any time with questions too personal for public posting or if you need extra help.

You've got this!!

 

Insomniacs

Several of you are now getting to a stage where some insomnia might kick in. Feel free to come here and tell us what you're experiencing. Somebody else may also be here either because they can't sleep or because it's daylight where they are.

So give us something to read!
On the other hand, if the phone in your hand is a trigger, for goodness sake, don't touch it. Go watch TV or read a good book.
Take care!

 

At 8 days, now! Uncharted territory for you!! We rejoice with you and we'll be here for you in the challenging days ahead. You're now past that first big hurdle. Keep going! Stay away from P no matter how desperately it calls to you. It only wants to harm you. You've got this because you're a stronger man than anyone else you know in your daily life. Hold your head high around them.

 

Already killing it on the new streak. Love this guy's attitude.

 

Great idea on the headphones! Yes, you are right. The world is definitely full of better entertainment than P and now that your dopamine receptors should start becoming more sensitive, you're going to find out just how much better the good entertainment can be, especially music.

 

Three months ago I would have shrugged and said, "eh, maybe." But today I agree with you 1,000 percent. Girls can be addicted, too. Who knows, maybe some brave young guy will start a nofap support group at his school. That would be a strong man, for sure. He'd have to put up with a lot of shit but he'd develop a pretty thick skin...like Metapod!

In regard to the "don't watch porn" thing...In defense of the teachers and parents, they don't actually know how pervasive it is. I've mentioned nofap to a couple of people who are around 27 and 40. Both of them were completely surprised at the statistics about the number of teens addicted to porn and I don't think they believed me. They seemed clueless about it. So maybe you could slip your health teacher some stats under the door so he/she will get a clue.

Deth, this was a fantastic post. This is why the under 20s on this thread are not kids. You're men and we treat you with that respect. Any man who is working on nofap is a manly man, indeed.

Would especially like for the under 20s to comment on Deth's idea. What do you think?

 

Eddie, Fantastic job on making it this far. I'm impressed that you were able to resist the videos. That means you really are getting stronger but you are right about not taking any more chances. Now that you're up to 14 days, the stakes are higher. They keep getting higher as time goes on. Two weeks! That's excellent. If you haven't done so yet, please read my earlier posting on this thread regarding what you can expect in the next stage. It's a tough one but you might get some relief from urges. Depends on the individual.

Great job. You're doing really well. Keep it up and keep us posted. You are always welcome to post as often as you like. Reading a book is good, too.

 

Great job, man. Thank you so much for relating your experience and for taking the night support shift on the thread (even though you'd rather sleep). Yes, you're now really in stage 2, so even if it's difficult, it's a good thing. I've read that a handful of almonds before bed can help make the dreams more pleasant rather than upsetting. I don' t know if that's true but, for what it's worth. This stage can be a bitch for vivid dreamers, which you apparently are. However, it IS temporary. You've come so far, already that I know you've got this. PM me any time, man.
