    heres my why, feel free to share yours below:

    Why am I rebooting and quitting porn for good?

    Quite simply, I don’t want to crawl through life anymore. I don’t want to wake up every morning for weeks and months on end just to feel like I’m dragging through every day. I don’t want to see the earth as a cold dead place.

    I want to awaken the limitless joy, compassion, and tranquility that exists inside of me. I want to feel like my authentic self again. I want to strike up conversations with new friends and beautiful women instead of carrying shame and fear with me everywhere I go. I want to serve others experiencing hardships and help them awaken to their authentic selves.

    I want to change my life and never go back to a place where I’m wishing it away again.

    For like ten years social anxiety is in the way of my true potential. It makes life a prison because you're out in the open but you can't seem to connect to people. It's like you want to connect to people but theres so much garbage that holds you back.

    I can relate to that. I’m on day 17 today and last night I was able to socialize with people in an authentic way and it felt so incredible. I can’t remember the last time I was able to do that.

    So that I can finally stand firmly and proudly on my own two feet again. If I can be strong enough to maintain sobriety of illicit drugs for almost 3 years; I have the strength to at least try and take my life back firmly into my own hands from PMO. And as someone who has battled drug/alcohol addiction don't you ever let anyone tell you it's not a real addiction, it is and it is just as hard to deal with as any other addiction.

    I agree with this. I’ve suffered from drug and alcohol addiction as well. I’m a year sober and this has been much more of a challenge for me. It also brought me to a much lower low than my other addictions. We’re all badasses on here for making this change in our life. Stay strong guys.

    I want to be a good person. Whenever I watch p I feel dirty and unworthy. It makes me feel like all of the good things I've done don't count.

    They do count man! Try to remind yourself that you are worth it. Practice some self love.

  8. I want the added benefits of being a man. Being responsible, compassionate and know that sex to me is something sacred. Having an orgasm is sacred, for me it cheapens the value of blowing my wad when the person I care about isnt around

    Being in control. My Penis isn't the boss, I am. And I'm gonna show my dummy just who is in charge. ;)

    Here goes my reasons (c'mon guys share don't be lazy)

    1. Too much laundry. Always dirty;
    2. Waste of energy. I feel lethargic afterward. No motivation to do anything;
    3. I feel depressed when I do it. It's a big blow on my self-respect. Tells me how I worth nothing and I can't control my basic instincts.
    4. Emotionally unavailable to other people;
    5. Unbalanced sleep cycle. I do not sleep better when I PMO. Restlessness;
    6. Waste of time. Running away from obligations and chores. Accumulation of important tasks while I PMO;
    7. Waste of nutrients, important ones. I feel more hungry and get fat;
    8. My skin is unhealthy and dry when I PMO.

    Why? For a very simple reason:
    P is a super artifical world that scientifically damages your brain.
    In addition to that, u r just the dreamer (voyeur) while watching it, never the executor.

    What should be the reality? Right, be the executor and get some real nice pussy in order to live that shit in reality instead of dreaming (watching) it.

  11. I think that my main reason of doing this is "self-confidence". During nofap, i realise that my social anxiety is gone, my memory starts working and those things help me improve my confidence. Is it a path with flowers, hell no. I am trying to quit pmo for over a year and still my biggest achievement is 20 days. But I am still trying because, as meditation, the journey is the important part, not the consequences. I hope you all will quit this cancer!

    My main reason is to change my thoughts since porn messed up with my brain so bad.
    I was thinking all the time about girls sexualizing them and obviously couldn't get them so this made me feel bad about myself like I wasn't worthy then I would PMO to feel better but only for a second and then I would feel even worse. Also because I developed fucking strange fetiches and I was having some problems in bed while being only 20 and that is not normal.
    That's why I stopped for me for becoming the best me I can be

    I started with PMO when i realized that i need to watch a lot to get satisfied and the more i watch the more it get's boring so i have to search for something special and weird. I also realized that i'm not attracted to the real woman i would always find something to blame and than i would stopt the dating. And after watching a Porn i always feel sad it's not the same like sex.

    But i must say the more i research about Nofap the more i see that a lof of people rely on it, and many people only tell positive about it. I'm now like 16 Days and see only little improvements but nothing special maybe i have to wait. I'm interested if there is anyone who had the same path like me because most experiences are different than mine with starting Nofap?

  14. I don't want to be controlled by an addiction that saps my energy, drive, and compassion for life. I want to enjoy once more the little things that make life beautiful. I want to become a better person for those who I love.

    Are you doing no pmo? It also depends on the severity of your addiction.

    Yea but are you masturbating or having sex or anything? Semen retention has helped me see the results a lot faster. But my addiction also was less severe. I started seeing benefits at 14 days. Some people don’t feel benefits for a lot longer time

    I just wanted to get my wily work again. It's painful to have some amazing blonde GF who wants sex with you and you... are just dead down there.
