    Day 12

    Patience and discipline guys we will change
     
  4. *Leh sigh* I relapsed again guys. I'm in a bit of a rut that I'm thinking is being caused by stress stirred into depression and loneliness. I'm not doing so good lately...

    Don't let that get you down! Just start another streak!

    I've found that keeping myself really busy with other things helps. Also while doing another thing, immerse yourself into it, don't think you are doing it to avoid fapping...if you think of it that way you will have all the more urges to fap...and that is no good. So if you are reading, do it for the love of reading.

  7. My main problem is that I don't really have anything else to immerse myself into... I don't have any hobbies (other than gaming) because I don't have any money and I don' have any transportation so I can't really do anything I enjoy except gaming which takes place on my computer which is next to my laptop which is next to my phone... and another thing is when I get urges I almost always act without thought I'm not sure why I do that, but I do... basically I'm in a frustrating predicament/infinite loop of just bleh...

    Day 29 and just need to get through tonight…feels like I'm almost building up to an excuse to look at porn again having done my challenge (assuming I don't relapse tonight).

    So, I'm decided to break this down into chunks. Done 30, now do 15, then 30 then 15. That way I think I can do the 90 days reset…hopefully!!!

    Need to figure out how to start another timer….

    Hi guys! Yesterday I started my 20 days challenge! My best was a week and I felt improvement on many things in the last days!
    So I'm new on the forums previously I just read the messages without an account but here we go!
    And by working out I can fight my urges a lot better and also using the NoFap emergency button.
    (also english isn't my native language so pls forgive me if I had many mistakes.)

    I would suggest two things you can do without needing any money or going anywhere.
    1. Learning a language. I use Duolingo and it is free and great. There are others as well. Can be done on the web or from Smartphone.
    2. Meditation. Again there are Smartphone apps like Headspace but you can also do on your own.

    Exercise. You can go for a run around the neighborhood or a park which is close by.

    Volunteer. There might be organizations which may be looking for volunteers. If you are part of a religious organization like a church, they may have activities that need volunteers. (may need your own transport).

    Congrats on reaching your goal! I like the idea of an incremental goal.

    Made it through day 3, this is my fourth day! I am the same way. But i think you need to be held accountable. For now, let's be rivals. We need the competition, instead of wasting several hours per day watching porn, come on here and post what you are going through. Wait for people to respond. At least that way you have something to run to. As soon as you get the slightest urge, get it out of you head. its very difficult once the mere thought enters your head. So, try to reject it right away, don't look at women the way you usually do. Run to the forums man! There are plenty of people in your shoes, try to stay positive and push past the strongest urges. Once you pass a few, your confidence will rise. You have to catch up to me!
