Hoping i could achieve this feat, before joining this forum, there was a time i abstained for two weeks, I could virtually approach any lady that catches my fancy, and i would grab there attention immediately, but now that i've relapsed, i still have a lot of ladies whom i know like me, but i just cant keep up convos with them, i tend to overthink what i'm gonna say to them, hence i dont even talk at all. Any few pointers to keep strong during my NoFap days
I find the best way to avoid PMO is to spend your time mastering something. Musical instrument, machining, designing and building something, martial arts, etc. That way, when you get the urge to spank your meat, immediately switch your mind to learning how to play Beethoven's 5th.
Now that's what I am talking about man. Hell to the effing yeah! Congratulations on forming such a positive attitude and aura. Your words speak truth in every sense as I for myself have experienced things like these. Much power moving forward to you mate and thanks for sharing your post. It put a smile on my face
I think women avoid you because you’re a prat. You’re always so negative and miserable on everything you post. It’s intolerable.
So true. Our addiction is extremed focus on the wrong thing. Once it’s rechaneled over to something healthy, it becomes sexual transmutation.
I’ve written some posts about this, so feel free to have a look at my other threads. I hope they help.
I’m actually practicing DJing, however I’ve got exams pretty soon in school, trying to channel my energy into studying and stuff, this is my second day of NoFap, and I’m actually feeling quite good, no urges whatsoever, I even had to do a voice memo of myself reading the post of the guy who abstained for four months, anytime i have the urge, I whip out my phone and play the voice memo, this brings me back to my normal senses, don’t know if this can work for others, I also downloaded Blinkist app on my phone where i listen to a lot of self improvement books, hoping I can continue with this feeling, but I can adequately conclude that everything we do in this life boils down to our mind.
Wow this is incredible. Not only did actually get attention from a woman whom you didn't know, but she and your friends felt this "aura" from you. That's amazing. I'm happy that you are able to continue your journey into abstaining from PMO. Congratulations and keep going!
Inspiring all the stories. Excessive masturbation was making me exhausted, weak. I've tried to stay without the porn, however after a month I ended up getting irritated and any frustration was enough to return to addiction. But now I'm going to the end. I know I will not get angry, but I'm sure it will be worth all the effort.
There will be points where are tempted to break our streak. If we do, we must keep going regardless. Even if that means you’re starting from day 1 again with your streak but the real journey starts when you decided to do something about this addiction. Keep pushing.
Amazing testimony right there... Energy is everything man. Keep it up and thank you for inspiring the community.
This is great dude! Such a good idea to record yourself. Once more time has passed and you’ve abstained for a long period, re-record it, as confident nuances will shine through your voice the second time.
Great story man! I think you inspire people around here! Great job on regaining control on your life buddy!
Life truly begins when you learn to control yourself rather than your addictions controlling you. Whether it be an addiction to physical pleasure, alcohol/drugs or anything else. There are billions of people out there who are victims to their addictions but very few overcome them. By defeating your demons you put yourself in a very rare category of people. The 1%. People will notice this or should I say you become noticeable.
I had a similar experience I was with my friends in a table waiting for the food, we were talking about stories at work and then my friend said that had this girl looking at me and maybe she was interested in me. I thought it was not for me because my friend is more handsome than me so i didn't took that serious. few minutes past and i look at her and she smiled for me. I had no reaction because that doesn't happen often. I didn't had guts to go talk to her so i continued to talk with my friends and then she left. I regret that day so for the next time someone make this again i will not ignore the sign, i will aproach and say whatever comes to my mind regardless of the rejection.
