    Sounds good. I am on day 4 right now. Doing good actually not missing it. I have been way to busy for that.

    Yeah staying busy helps a lot. For me though, right before i go to bed is when I'm really tested.

    Day 9:

    Today was a good day, got a lot done. Went back to the gym for the first time since i relapsed. Now i just need a good nights rest to fix my sleep schedule, which should be easier since i was more active today.

    Hope everyone is still growing strong and staying dedicated! Good night

    I really liked what you said for years i would lie to people why I was flake or be all down trodden and lethargic. Saying i was out drinking for a few days instead of staying at home binge PMOing. Its crazy that it was less shameful for people to think i was an alcoholic then people know i am a porn addict. Anyways thanks for sharing that its nice to know someone feels the same way.

    Right, and even if you do get over the shame and tell someone, they probably wont even take you seriously. I think thats why this site is helpful. It helps you accept the difficulties of breaking a REAL addiction

    If your really addicted like i was than their will be hard times, but im fighting through and that means you can too. Day 10 lets go

    Good post. I think watching porn actually affected my self esteem negatively. That was a big thing. I would feel like I was hiding something from a loved one and even when I was doing something good I felt like the fact that I had a secret about watching porn actually negated the good that I did and in addition made me a hypocrite as well. I am on day 5 and I am feeling pretty good.

    Hello. Early this morning 3 am I somewhat masturbated but not to porn. It was habitual more than anything but I stopped within a few minutes. Did not watch any porn. I think it was one of those early morning wood things. However I am confident the next time I will be more prepared. I will reach for my phone to read something or get up and take a shower. Overall I am very proud of myself. It has been almost a week and I have not wasted any time online. I am not familiar with the abbreviations on this website? what is p and m? is that porn and masturbation?

    P/M/O stands for porn/masturbation/orgasm.

    Day one for me, here. I struggle with depression and a lack of energy (I'm medicated, but have been on a downwards slope for a few weeks), and my main coping methods are PMO, binge eating, and oversleeping.

    I'm starting by joining this forum and installing K9 Web Protection. I'm feeling low, but I'm going to do what I can to stay awake.

    For those of you that relapse in bed, do y'all have a compulsion to change your bedding when you reset? I definitely do. Also, I clean my keyboard area (last time I actually jizzed on my keyboard, which was so awful). It's getting really annoying with how often I relapse.

    Anyways, it's nice to meet you guys.

    Day 10 update.

    I made it to Day 10 with no PMO :)

    Am working abroad at the moment and finding it tough at night alone in my hotel room but holding out by not watching the usual adult TV channels and K9 is keeping me safe on my laptop.

    Noticed that I'm having sleepless nights the last couple of nights and waking up with major wood and temptation to do something with it. Haven't so far but the mind sure makes it tough!!

    Roll on Day 11 :)

    Welcome Laz-NoFap…I've not long been doing this myself. Just take it one day at a time - reporting progress really helps. I'm starting to feel accountable to my buddies on here :)

    Yeah welcome Laz, i had all kinds of things i had to do after i relapsed. Basically i would binge on whatever i could, it was a sad sight... like the girl in the movies that just got dumped with ice cream in her bed and shit...but forget that...im dedicated to nofap

    And Badgerio congratulations man we're on our way! and same here, last night i got a little urge and a part of what kept me strong was this site!

    Early morning wood is a good sign of good energy. Use it.
    And the fact that your alone and somewhat masturbated and still didn't fully relapse is a sign of progress, it may not seem like much but id say dont underestimate that. Stay strong fellas, im feeling better than ever btw :D
