    so i moved out thinking it was gonna help me and it did in many ways but it painfully clear that simply moving out doesnt make much of a difference when it comes to yourself. i wanted to quit watching porn and masturbating and then the past two days i have been going on a bender, waking up to watching porn on my phone, to masturbating all night when nobody is around and then staying up till 7 in the morning because i just want to get that last one in before i go to sleep. i think i mustve masturbated 6 or 7 times yesterday and about the same the day before. i dont want to be looking girls and boy on the internet. i want to go out and meet people to have fun with, to have a real relationship with somebody so i dont have to look at some chick who ill never meet fake a bunch of orgasms.

    im currently unemployed so i have to look for a job, i think when i have one i might get to know some people, make some friends you know? right now i i dont really have anyone i can talk to about these kinds of things, theyre still in my hometown.

    at this point i dont really know what i can or should do. all i can think of is wanting things, like yeah i'd be fucking great if i had a gf but i dont have one, and yeah it'd be great to have a bunch of friends here but i dont. thinking about it just makes me less motivated each time and i dont even know why. are people that scary? is it really that difficult to go out to some places i like to meet people? not really, but in stead of going after those things i sit here behind my computer effectively destroying myself.

    what are some things that you gys do to keep yourself on track? what are your carrot and stick? cause i just kind of keep forgetting to motivate myself. the only motivation i have to go do stuff is to meet girls, and well thats a terrible motivation because it doesnt progress me in a good way, its just a replacement for my addiction. most of the time i dont even think i want a gf to do bfgf things with but just so i can have sex with her and girls are more than just their vaginas.

    so please if you have anything that you think might be useful to me i would love to hear it. anything to give myself a better carrot and stick.

    thanks and good luck.

  2. Well find a healthy hobby. Take a walk or go to the gym and make friends. Eat healthy and drink lots of water, but not too much. Working is good, it will keep you busy. Wake up at 7 a.m. so you'll be tired at night to sleep. Good luck, you can do this!

    thank you. did you experience anythin similar to my situation when you first started nofap?
     
  4. Well when I started it went well for 30 days because I kept myself busy. But when the holidays started I relapsed. Then it was on and off a couple of times with 30-45 day streaks. Then in the summer I got a job which kept me very busy and had a 74 day streak. My highest until now. Then I was off guard and relapsed because of social media ughh wish it never happend. The school started and relapsed a few times. Then had a 34 day streak and relapsed again and now Im in day 5-ish. I suggest that you mainly focus on work and school and nofap. Thats it. Socialize to keep the flatline bearable. I think we just gotta pull through, thats the price we pay for the years of indulgence unfortunately. Just dont ever give up and keep fighting. Every day you win is a step towards the right direction. I think we will all will make the 90 days and get right of this addiction once and for all only if we never give up. Fight on brother

    you know its not even so much about the 90 days or whatever, like if i can go 30 days without good if can go 40 days even better but i just want o relay my energy and focus from pussy to something useful. like the things you mentioned.
     
  6. Well i think abstaining from sex is the best solution if ur sexual active. And try to forget all those things and just focus. You gotta practice this alot and for a long time to switch your energy and focus to more useful things. I think patience is key, i guess. I hope this helps

    The motivation to find work and go to gym and make friends will come after a few days of abstinence from PMO. THe PMO is probably what has taken the wind out of your sails and why you feel so aimless and tired.

    Just start your quit ASAP and the other stuff will begin to fall into place
     
  8. This is very true

    You want to find girlfriend. It's good idea but I worry that it's not time for this. Don't get me wrong- it's good to have a girlfriend but right now you're in very stressfull period of your life. Finding an other half shouldn't be your priority.
    Try to maintain your soberity, try to find new job, hobby and people related with them. I think you should sort your life first.
     
  11. A girlfriend will not solve your problems with PMO! And no man should expect her to either! Now, being on your own is a big life step and it can be lonely. But no one is going to babysit you, right? You absolutely must find ways to busy yourself. If you think it sucks now, add ten years to your life - is it going to be different? It will be if you want it to be. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but you sound not so different from me when I was a lot younger. Do not wait for things to change. You might check out one of those books about willpower or achieving your goals. Plenty of recommendations on this site for that. You can do it.

    sorry if i made it look like im looking for a gf but its realy secondary at this moment. its more that right now i dont have anyone that i can really talk to. and i feel like if i could get someone that i can talk to itll be enough. it's just that beofre i moved i had already invested a lot into myself and atm PMO is kinda the only thing thats hindering me. i think im ready for a lot of things but also not ready for a lot of other things. having a gf right now probably wouldnt be good no and besides by the time that something like that comes around maybe the situation will be different depending on how long from now that is right?

    the point that i was trying to make was that i was tired of living my life through a screen and especially done with looking at girls online. theyre not real and i want to detach myself from this surreality and be living in the real world where theres tonnes of cool things to do and to experience and a lot of cool people to meet and hang out with.
     
  15. You're point is good. It's true - they are not real. But they are very tempting. Yes, there are so many things you can be doing. Lots of good tips on this site. Facing your addiction is important. Good luck, brother.
