The furtherest that I have reached was 6 days,four more days and I will have reached a week.No more backing down!!!
Ok..I'm starting to feel the effects of being in control. Along with giving up porn, I've naturally become aware of the effects of impulsive texting all the time, and browsing the internet aimlessly for more than 10 minutes at a time. I gave those up, and while I've encountered feelings of intense loneliness, once they pass, I feel supercharged. Day 9, ma-******. Feeling youthful. Actually looking forward to life again. And yet not so manic (as I felt the first day of staying clean). Whoot!
As a highly visual person (most P addicts are, which creates the predisposition), this is an absolutely brilliant tip.
Yes! This is brilliant. As a matter of fact, I have heard of methods like this for "visualization" and coping with many emotional issues in general. Woke up this morning feeling superhuman. No joke.
I think it's been 10 days since I started walking with everyone in this thread. The no PMO has actually been getting more difficult for me recently. I'd really like to make it to 90 - 120 days to get that reboot. Committing to another week in this thread can only help. Grats to everyone still here and joining recently!
Harry Potter and Justin..SICK! Let's keep going. Day 10 today and I woke up feeling like my muscles are swole. Even though they aren't. Just a higher sense of being. And I was super energized at work. Sheesh. I can only imagine what 30 days will bring. besides urges. lol
Well the end of this day brought another low. One small thing made me pissed and I was depressed for a few hours. Luckily, a friend of mine called to hang out with me. I felt great afterwards. I really hope things get better soon. Only way to move is forward.
Sick. The key for me has been routinely moving my body around every day. At mid Day, I make sure I engage in some sort of strenuous exercise, or even dance. It helps tremendously.
Relapsed again. Pissed off right now, so this will colour the rant that follows: Back to day 0. Don't think I can do this nofap thing anymore. Its OK if you're already in a relationship or have a group of friends, but when you're a 30 something social outcast and virgin like me, who has no hope in hell of ever meeting anyone (friendship or otherwise), MO is the only outlet I have for a sex drive I neither want, need or have any use for. If I could castrate myself without any side effects I would do it.
You're right mate, I need to keep going considering the positive effects I *know* I have felt before I fell. The rational part of me says that sex is mearly a want and self improvement is a need, and must come first. Wish my more emtional side would see it that way. Really sorry to everyone for posting that stupid rant. I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard.
No need to apologize. Thats what the forums are for. I was just quickly posting some sh** about my life.
Hey all. Kid is in town and worked some overtime so I'm swamped. Keeping busy makes NoFap easier at least. Grats on your progress jdrubnitz. Welcome to Writer239 and Cropsine! ...and glad you're here posting backonthewagon. I'm 30 something, with no relationship, too. It's really tough. Each time I work through one of the hard times it gets better though!
Thanks. I'm done feeling sorry for myself, getting back into it. Only time will tell if I can walk the walk.
