Ok so I've been trying nofap for a few years now and I used to MO (no porn) everyday for years up until about 4 years ago. Ever since trying nofap it has definitely helped me. I have streaks of 10 days then seven then ten etc. My highest being 23 days. I seem then to hit a barrier. I get all this pent up frustration in me, feel anxious, mind races, fatigued. I can't seem to get past that stage. Is it withdrawal? To me it shows I have an addiction. Any tips on getting though that or any idea what could be causing the symptoms? Many thanks K
It's difficult to pinpoint it... But you basically need to have a good reason to quit and secondly you need to change your habits... If you are young, this means indulging in the real act of love making and trying to be celibate without a solid reason and at a time when you are not meant to do it will contribute to your repeated relapses after a week or so... I hope you find the answers you seek.
Thank you for the reply. Im 31 so unsure if that classes as old I believe I want to stop as I feel I have an addiction to MO and want to prove I can go without if need be .plus to stop draining myself and to be able to go out and meet new people. Thanks for your reply
Well... 31 is young! Haha On a serious note... When do you masturbate? Is it when you are alone? Is it to help you sleep? Do you feel bored and then do it? Answering it may help you solve it.
You've made me feel better about my age thank you You're right it's a mixture of all of them not to help me sleep really. Recently it's been to stop the withdrawal symptoms. I'm going to think about that actually. You have actually helped a lot , maybe it is when I'm bored . How has your journey with it been going? Thanks again
Well... My story is simple... I feel in love and decided to quit PMO That was on March 25th, 2018... And I haven't stopped ever since! I focus on working out, studying and social engagement. That's the key to my success
Ah man that's nice to hear. So do you have sex you're not on hard ode or anything? Sorry to ask that you don't have to answer. Sounds like you're doing amazing man. Studying is always good and congrats on meeting someone
No... It's hard mode. So no sex... I have decided to do 3 years of hard mode before starting anything again.
Change your habits, change your lifestyle. Also look at every day as just another day of NoFap… try not to get hung up on the day number. Continued good luck
Not necessarily... A little bit of physical symptoms, around 15-45 days... Now it's all smooth sailing. I have morning wood every single day. I get it while sleeping. But my conscious thoughts are under my control and that's what matters.
