Dang guys! Time really flies when your not wasting it PMO'ing. I set myself a goal of 150 days and yesterday i just passed 50! I'm just happy is all, not bragging but I wanna share this. It has been a struggle though! I never thought those urges would last so long. I don't want to speak too soon, i still have 100 days to go. But i can safely say that this week has been the first entire 7 days that i haven't had a serious almost relapsing urge. I think i'm finally healing. I still think about it now and then in passing but what i find is that i don't linger on it. The thought comes and passes MUCH quicker now. I still have weak moments and i know i can't let my guard down. But i fell like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.. Funny enough this first week of having almost total clarity from PMO was one of the most chick magnet weeks i have had in at least YEARS. 3 numbers in 7 days, all pretty fly chicks, and they came to ME lol, damn. I guess i just wanted to post and tell everyone else that yes it can happen, yes women's attraction to you will go up, yes it's worth it. The main thing i'm happy about isn't the numbers but the fact that I am not torn nearly as much anymore. I've regained my willpower to have those thoughts of P come, and let them right out of my mind. HMU if you have any questions or wanna shoot the shit. I couldn't have gotten this far without the community here and I want to share all the things that have helped me get to 51. Because i can tell you one thing, i wasn't just grin it and bare tactics. I tried that before, didn't work.
Nice to hear that, i bet it is more than awesome feeling. Can you tell me what strategies have you used ?
Congrats bro. Even i feel like chick magnet at times lol. But i avoid 'em since my aim is to focus on my career and chicks are distraction. But i enjoy being noticed by chicks and enjoy being chased
Sure. The main 2 things that have helped me the most is transfer of energy, and meditation. I really never thought i'd be an advocate of meditation but it helps in way's beyond words. Two other things was i developed a sort of mantra when i become close to looking again. Mine is "Is looking at this going to help you in any way shape or form after your done?" Keep it short & sweet i guess, the answer every time is nooope. The other was "Do the James Bond's of the world look at porn?" -nope! Haha, they go live their lives and find real women. The other thing is i discovered that porn isn't the illness, it's just a symptom. That way i could actively dig within' myself and ask why i started in the first place ya know? Insecurity, told i wasn't good enough when i was younger, fear of rejection. Hurt from past gf's. etc etc. Hope this helps man. The biggest thing out of all of them for me was meditation though. I could clear my head and find the core of who i really am, not these illusions of women and myself.
man bro congrats on your success, now on the other hand i would really like some advice and some encouraging words to keep fighting against my addiction, today i failed again, and i cant seem to get past day 2! i feel really bad, and alone, there's like this emptiness inside me, that i think i can fill up with porn and fapping, but that just makes it worst.!!
This is the techniques I use: http://nofapsolideo.wordpress.com/2...ut-breaking-a-sweat-after-7-years-of-failure/ When I get close to a relapse I pull up my favourite youtube video, but only access it when times are really,really bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAPX4oNofNU
That's awesome! I hope that you're still keeping up with it despite your counter being deactivated...
He may have had a relapse, so please be gentle. The original post and thread was posted on September 14th.
