    Hi guys

    I’m 15 days in and the last couple of days have been really really hard, was going well until then, now I’m almost constantly craving and everything is making me want to fap... does it get easier? When should I expect to start feeling better?

    It comes and goes mate, and everyone has a different timetable. Don't focus on expectations, just do what you know is right. There was a saying, 'a watched pot never boils"

    @Senecathestoic
    Yes, it gets easier. The first couple weeks are always the hardest...I think it also depends on how extreme your porn usage was. I'm 24, and was PMOing on average at least once a day before NoFap. It's taken me almost a year but I'm currently on my longest streak yet.
    For the first 10 months or so I struggled to get past 2 or 3 weeks....I must've had 10 different multiweek streak, but I would always crack and give in. One thing I learned is that it always gets worse before it gets better. Everyone is different, and I can only speak from my own experience, but I felt a serious drop after around 30 days in terms of urges, following a massive spike between weeks 2-4. The severity was still high, but the frequency went down. And now urges are waaay down, in both severity and frequency.
    Basically, as much as it sucks, the next couple weeks may be the hardest yet...each day will feel like a battle and you'll wonder how the hell you're supposed to make it to 90 days like other people do. But if you make it over this hurdle, it'll start to get a whole lot easier.
    Please don't give up! It's honestly sooo worth the struggle and the pain.

    First 3 weeks are hard. The craving comes and goes. Watch your thoughts when your mindset and motivation fades.
    I'm now in that situation,. there is a possible alone situation in coming week and when I come to know about it, the thought about P become frequent, there are so much sexual thoughts in mind now.
    So Never let your guard down.

  5. since your just starting let me give you info that will make things 1000x times easier, get your eating down, do not eat any more processed or junk food, go all natural and eat clean food, no sugar or anything bad. Start taking cold showers, they boost health immunity and are super good for hair and skin, also it builds discipline. Start meditating, do everything you can to better your life, nofap is a lifestyle not a get well program, its about bettering yourself in every way, i personally did not see much results until i did these things, no pmo will help clear brain fog and give you your drive and motivation back, but it alone is not enough.

    31 days in and it's definitely easier than it has been. Keep going and you'll get it. Never give up.

    I noticed a big change after the first month. Desire still comes in waves, but I have learned to recognize and have more ability to say no. I’ve established some new habits and don’t want to give up what I’ve invested in recovery.

    I’m in over 50 days and while I’m horny my ED is still pretty bad. It’s getting a little better day by day.

    Yes, it does. Trust me. Your brain needs to rewire. But as the old saying goes: Every day you wait, you heal a little more. Keep it up, brother!

    Did you start jerking off again? The goal of NoFap (at least for me) was to break free from porn, not to never MO again. I think total abstinence from any type of P, M or O has helped me greatly. At this point I don't feel urges often for porn, and am starting to wonder whether I'd be ready to reintroduce MO into my life. You're well over 200 days, what's your take?

    Hello, i did not start masturbating again. I had a 700 days streak from april 2017 to dec 2018, and now i'm on my second streak which is 200 plus. Only way i orgasm is through sex (and wet dreams sometimes) and i think thats the best possible way to live my sex life.

    Yes, first 40 days are the hardest. Things get much easier around 3-4 months mark. I'm talking about "monk mode" here. I've never done other reboot methods, so I can't say if sex has any negative consequences on reboot time.

    [QUOTE = "Fenix Rising, gönderi: 2199203, üye: 183067"] Evet, ilk 40 gün en zoru. İşler 3-4 ay arasında değişiyor. Burada "keşiş modu" hakkında konuşuyorum. Diğer yeniden başlatma yöntemlerini hiç yapmadım, bu yüzden cinsiyetin yeniden başlama süresi üzerinde olumsuz sonuçları olup olmadığını söyleyemem. [/ QUOTE]
