This shit is F*cking real..

When that truth hits home, porn no longer has a control over you. Being a king in real life, feeling better about yourself, etc is MUCH more satisfying than blowing a load in front of a computer and instantly regretting it.

 

Well done on doing a month. Now you know this stuff works you can beat 1 month and make this a life long commitment.

 

Why do you keep relapsing? What is your biggest streak?

 

My last streak was 3 weeks, I relapsed due to fatigue. My long term goal is 90 days, I hope to get to at least 30 days on this current one.

 

It is real for sure. The scientific community apparently can't find evidence under their terms, but there is enough testimonies to make them think twice about their research methodologies.

 

You are 100% right. I broke a 200 day streak and then I felt everything come back because I couldn’t get back on board. I couldn’t go a week or so until this streak now. Yesterday afternoon I was on fire. Felt so good. Lots of energy and positivity. Felt amazing. Today though, stress and anxiety is back. I do have family problems going on too. So facing them head on instead of diving into PMO is a challenge currently.

 

Yes, this shit is real and it gets better and better as long as you're willing to change your lifestyle. NoFap in the end demands of you to change the way you think and look at things plus dropping old unhealthy habits and exchanging them for new healthier ones. I could go on and on, but all I can say is that I wouldn't go back to my previous binge PMO addicted life, if I was offered a million bucks. It's bloody hard but also very rewarding. I suffered more in the last two years since I took abstention seriously then in most of my adult life, but it has been totally transformative experience for me. I went from depressed, anxious overweight couch potato to a guy who trains and meditates 2-3 hours a day takes ice cold showers every day and enjoys it. I'm still very much work in progress and still need a lot of learning and changing, but at least I feel I'm on the right path for the first time in my life. All thanks to initial recognition that I'm fucked and I need to change no matter how painful it gets.

 

Very happy to read this post this morning.. very good

 

A relapse will always hurt and it will be very easy to roll around in self-pity and use pmo as an escape.

For me it was weird, I felt horrible so I needed to do things to myself to match how I felt. It could me drinking, pmo, wasting money and once in a blue moon self-harm.

If you relapse, DO NOT get down. Just start over, that's all you can do.
