    Hey guys. I joined these forums back in 2016. Been on and off with nofap for a few years. I would get weeks here and there and I’ve had a couple of months in these couple of years. I would get really motivated to stop, get on these forums, get active for a couple weeks, watch youtube videos of Nofap and the success stories/plus relapses. I’d feel really hopeful, then I just always ALWAYS convinced myself to do it again after getting 2 to 3 weeks. The urges were so unbearable during that time. I felt that warmth and energy in my whole being that was crying to watch or engage in deviant behavior. I also got into massage parlors for an escape. I sorta just started abstaining on my own without any kind of online help but never made it past a month. I was on medication for over a year (anti-depressant) which helped offset some of the symptoms I would feel after a binge but I still felt horrible and depleted. I just recently got off the medication and my libido has sort of come back full swing as well as the urges. I’m in a relationship now for almost a year and I keep watching P and M O’ing while I’m with her. It feels so wrong. Fortunately, I let her in on my problem and she’s been 100% supportive. I just downloaded Covenant Eyes two days ago and I officially have 2 days now. I am getting strict with this because my life is just going on by and I keep doing the same thing over and over and over. I just want to be done with this addiction for good. I’ve had glimpses of what true freedom was like when I went 2, 3, 4 weeks without PMO. I felt amazing. I want that back again. I want to be free and go after the things that the P was holding me back from..


    Thank you

    Same here man, I can relate to you. My advice for you would be to change your lifestyle. First of all, Start meditating everyday, watch some videos on YT on how to mediate as they would explain it much better than me. Start going outside more and spend less time on the internet. While your outside, go out for walks, go to the park, play a sport, go to the gym. Reading books about self improvement or even any other book that you personally like can help you to beat the urges and prevent them. Cold showers is another effective thing that you can do to stop the urges. And last but not least, the most effective tip in defeating fapping addiction imo, is to start watching NoFap motivation and success stories on YT, some of my favs are Vegan Aesthetics and Seth Alexander.

    When it comes to beating urges to fap and to prevent them, its all about distracting your mind from fapping and masturbation by changing your lifestyle to become more productive. Staying at home all day doing nothing is just going lead you to fapping so you must go outside and be productive. Good luck.
