    For about the past week, I've watched porn almost everyday - I'd say 6/7. This has the worst it has gotten for me since about last year, as I can usually go at LEAST 2 days without PMO. I haven't been on the forums and have been so unmotivated to do so, but now I'm taking a stand against this. Fuck quarantine, I'm gonna fill my time with writing and making videos that I've been wanting to make for a while now, and doing actual reading for Dungeons and Dragons. How are you guys handling quarantine?

    u know even tho im not being quarantine (yet my province is the 2nd epicentrum of this pandemic and i lived in small city) going outside is not as fun as it seem

    i have to work (thank god) daily like there is no pandemic happen, and every time i come back home, im so affraid that i carried the virus , it haunted me like every damn day

    not to mention about the economy, im so afraid loosing this job and my study also is devastated
    on the bright side, i buy myself some gundam toy's and some books too this is the first time i buying those kinda of thing's, because i believe sooner or later our city will locked itself too


    but i understand that quarantine is so sucks

    i suggest have an home exercise for just 1 hours it can help your sleep


    stay healthy fellow +62 friend , and don't keep this feeling for urself, u can pm me anytime if that helped you through this

    Until last Wednesday, I was looking at porn basically every day during this quarantine. So embarrassing, but true. I'm still getting my mind right.

    I know it's difficult, but I recommend doing an Internet fast the first 1-2 weeks of rebooting. That was really helpful for me. I had a hard time getting past the first week for a long time.

    Good luck!

    Quarantine is hard but at the same time you can turn it to one of the best times in your life and your turning point forever. HOW? If you abstain from PMO during this difficult time, then it will be easier to abstain from it after this period and under any other condition in the future. Simply put, stop now and you can stop for the rest of your life.
     
  6. I'm right there with you. I was laid off two weeks ago and spent the first three days relapsing big time. I slipped right into nothing-better-to-do mode. So untrue, even under quarantine.

    It was a real struggle to pick myself this time, so finding something to do is imperative. Minimum internet. Maximum attention to the pile of unread books, going out for walks, and reestablishing a prayer rule. And of course, refraining from getting handsy with myself.

    Keep it up man! You can beat this addiction

    Currently I am keeping myself busy during this pandemic with video games and study. It helps a bit. My main hobby is archery (just returned to it after a stagnant period due to PM) taking away any motivation to pursue anything worthwhile in life). I'm on Day 8 and the urges are preeeettttyyy strong atm. I have to remind myself this urges are temporal and the more I avoid the temptation to act on the urge, the more likely I will develop the willpower to not continue my addiction.
     
  9. It sucks, but you just keep doing the right things on the web. Daily walks somebody here pointed that out are good. And whenever you do go on the web, have some sort of objective. If you don't, you'll get burned.

    I've gone off track a few times since this corona stuff started... I study full time and everything went from 100% in class to 100% online. Now I'm studying in my room each day, must use the internet for assignments, and the responsibility just got real.

    I have older parents so I don't want to go out too much except for exercise. I was genuinely interested in starting dating again just a month or so ago, I even cold approached a nice girl at the shops to get myself back into it... But now I feel it's going to be months before anyone would want to date new people again...

    Truth be told, I feel a loss of motivation when I don't have to front up to class or the shops and present myself well.

    I wear my pyjamas until midday some mornings, it's ridiculous, but shit - I don't think any of us should be hard on ourselves - we've been working on this since before corona, and it's just added the stress levels that extra bit. We're only human.

    Two things I would note might help:

    Spend every day like it's a normal one, wake up on time, get dressed, make a to do list if that helps. Just carry on with a routine as normal as possible, including exercise (even if only indoors).

    And secondly, it is important to experience boredom, to a degree. This is a natural feeling, and one that just about everyone these days can't sit with (just watch someone pull out a smart phone at a social event, because they're bored for 5 seconds). We can learn to sit with boredom, that's where our creative problem-solving side is revealed.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Mindsetmu bro, dipertegas. Urang juga menderita, gua insomnia dan gak mau makan karena badan gua demand ngewe, setiap hari. Tapi lu harus pilih sakit karena menderita atau sakit karena nyesel.

    Ayo kuat

    Same. Quarantine is so hard. I have friends on facebook claim to be using the period to better themselves, get in shape etc. It's all I can do not to go crazy. My goals so far are to wake up on time each morning and eat three good meals a day, and even this is a struggle for me.

    Keep 'restarting' and today was no exception :( I am reading a lot though which is beneficial. I agree that some time away from the internet/computers is very positive. Sadly I have to use the internet for work and study, so a complete fast is not possible. But I can cut down on idle/evening use for sure.

    Quarantine only ruins NoFap if you let it. It's not your fault you're in quarantine, but it is your fault if you deal with it poorly. By the way, I am extremely guilty of this and I have failed a lot too - although I am getting back up there now - but "Quarantine is ruining NoFap" is the wrong mentality to have in my opinion. Quarantine is not ruining NoFap. You are ruining NoFap.

    Take responsibility. Build a schedule, preferably one you can actually stick to instead of one you wish you could stick to. Again, easier said than done.

    Most importantly, diagnose the shit out of every relapse. Why did you relapse? What's wrong? This is a major environmental shift, you are going to relapse for reasons you didn't before. So after every relapse, have a really hard think about what caused you to relapse and make sure you take steps to avoid it happening again. A mistake repeated more than once is a choice.

    Hey, what defines an internet fast? It sound interesting. I play video games when I'm bored or watch Netflix, what else should I do if I do this Internet fast? Also, I can only use the Internet to talk to my friends in the given situation. Could you please elaborate?

    My +62 friend, where do you live if you don't mind me asking? I live in Tangeran and I'm already quarantined for 1 month. Kasus nomor tiga di Indonesia adalah guru di sekolah saya haha jadi saya kawatir, tapi sekarang santai.
