    I was an online roulette gambler for around four years. Completely broke me down with stress and debt. In this time I was also Masturbating daily.

    I then had a kind of break down and was unable to leave the house. I used to be an adventurer going abroad active and social. All of a sudden I couldn't go out and felt really really anxious and ill.

    What I'm wondering is could all of this gambling, masturbating daily and crap diet have skewed me up.

    I'm currently on day 21 no gambling at all and day 11 of nofap .

    I have seen some positives but I feel quite down and low.

    Thanks in advance

  2. Yup, could fit with how you're feeling. I would say I was up and down till about day 50 and then things became a bit more stable. That's not to say that it'll all be hard till then, just that you will have tough days or spells but push through them as it's your brain coming back into line. I was a lot like you, used to be really outgoing etc. and then got depressed and anxious. Nofap has helped me get my confidence and self respect back and you will do better in life without it. Well done for getting this far, in some ways the worst will be over but just don't reset on either or your vices as that'll put you back to the start. You can do and you (if you're like me) need to do it if you want your life back. Trust me, things are better this side of the fence, I never want to go back to feeling like that. Stick with it and you'll join the many who have pushed through it.

    Thanks a lot. Means a lot you took your time to message.

    Can I just ask do you think it's good to abstain forever and just have sex or just do the 90 days and then mo less frequently. Sorry to be direct.

    Thanks again

    And you are right I don't want to reset now or ever, I know it's difficult but at least when you figure out the problem you can tackle it

  6. No worries asking that, ask whatever you want, that's the way we'll get better.


    My plan is to never mo again. Never thought I would say that or think it is possible but now I just see it as a bit sad and a road to a place I don't want to be.

    I'm also have sex in a lot more perspective. If I never had sex again I could be perfectly happy, never thought I'd say that but it just shows how we get sex all out of perspective. Don't get me wrong I'm up for getting a good shag as much as the next man and I'm keen to do it just it doesn't control my life now.
