It's been 9 months all! No P and No M (married). It's been quite a journey so far and make no mistake, when you decide to quit PMO, you are in fact taking on a journey. I skipped my 8th month update due to my son being born a few months back! Life has been tiring but so rewarding. It's been bottles and sleepless nights for me. Anyways, when you quit porn, you are really undertaking an arduous climb. It's not always easy, it's not always peaceful, but there is only one way and that is up! The trend is upward as long as you stay faithful to your decision. There are no magic pills, no 7 steps, no secret diet or superpowers. There is no breaking of bad habits-you only replace them with better ones. As I've mentioned in my previous months, I've leaned into my Christian faith. It's helped me a lot. I know not everyone is religious, but i feel like i have to be truthful in my testimony. Aside from my faith, I've started to read more, I'm also trying new instruments, new hobbies. I've also reintroduced caffeine back into my system! Oh glorious caffeine! In terms of health, I've kept up my gym and diet regimen, managed to lose about 10lbs in about 3 months. Now that's not to say that things have been perfect in the 9 months. There are still intrusive thoughts but they only last for a few seconds. When it does come, I handle it a lot better than previous months. I have installed and uninstalled instagram as there are too many fitness or model accounts that are don't help with my thougths. Also, I've been training my thoughts to be obedient. By that I mean lust in my thought life. It's not that i dont respect women because I do. I just want to respect them in my thoughts as well. Porn has to be cleared from all storage spaces, whether it be digitally or mentally. Even after 9 months, there are still remnants. Anyways, this has been mostly a rant. For you new guys or girls in here, don't give up. Porn is hell, porn is the worst. Trust the process! It's a climb and for some the climb is steeper, but the prize peace, mental clarity, joy, hope, and your future! See you guys at 10 months! NT NIV Phlpns 4:7-9
it is so much motivating for me to read, how this is possible, I never considered myself as an adict but lately I had problems keeping my erections, and being honest I have been masturbating since I were 15 and now im 24 but Im doing changes in my life, I started to workout, I also do yoga and I belive NoFap is gonna help me to fell interpeace and to enjoy a healthsexual life , thank you for your story, keep going, keep inspiring us.
Congratulations on your progress and on your child ... it's my second day it is hard ... Right now I am trying to read and alone in my room my brain automatically switches on to sinful thoughts .. but after reading your journey I am able to fight these thoughts .. thank you
The journey is difficult at first, but it does get better. Keep at it! The price we paid to PMO is high enough!
Thanks for this post. I am struggling a little bit at 56 days, and needed the inspiration. This is a great and true quote: "Porn has to be cleared from all storage spaces, whether it be digitally or mentally." You are right that porn is hell. I need to keep that in mind.
Great testimony. I’m almost there and you let me know I can do it! I like what you said: Porn has to be cleared from all storage spaces, mental and digital.
