    Happy Evening
    Day 26..........
     
  4. 14/90 Two weeks in!

    I actually could use some help. Starting yesterday evening my mind has not been as focused (due to lack of sleep mostly) and I've been allowing stray fantasy sexual thoughts to roam longer than I should. I've noticed what was happening and got myself under control but it's already got my head in that space and this morning when I woke up it happened again. Again, when I finally came to my senses I refocused my thoughts and reaffirmed my nofap goals and reminded myself why it's important to not let thoughts like this take hold, but I feel like I'm losing important ground here and I'm worried that I'm not far from falling into familiar traps. Any advice, even and especially obvious advice, would be appreciated right about now. How do I keep my thoughts from going to the sexual when I'm seeing a tendency of the brain to want to do that more and more recently?

  7. Congrats on two weeks!

    First of all it’s good that you recognize those thoughts and feelings. Hang in there, things will get better. I think timing is everything with thoughts that come into our mind. Sometimes it’s a combination of natural desires mixed with triggers. My obvious advice would be to fill your life with distractions. What do you like to do for hobbies? Do you have something you are passionate about? Have you considered taking up a new hobby? Is there something that you have always wanted to try but haven’t yet? Back when I was single, I found that I had a lot of time on my hands. I decided to volunteer at a hospital in the shock trauma resuscitation unit. It got me out of my comfort zone because I did not like seeing blood and needles. But I did it anyway and I discovered that I was able to overcome those fears and was able to help out that hospital quite a bit. I was able to learn new skills and meet new people and see some amazing things. It kept me distracted and kept my mind off things. It also helped me build my self-esteem because I was doing good in my community and making a difference in the world. I would highly recommend it.

    Hang in there my friend. You can do this. Something that has been helping me lately is to think about how awful I would feel if I would reset. I try to envision what the next couple of hours would feel like if I caved. The misery that I can envision in my mind is keeping me from making poor choices. It’s hard to do that with thoughts, but if you could somehow envision where those thoughts would lead you and the awful feelings that you Would feel after resetting, that might be able to help you refocus.

    Can you please tell us of your experiences during your 99 days please?

    Thanks
     
  10. Thanks for your interest. I kept a journal. If you’re interested you can read about those 99 days here:

    https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/jefe-rojo’s-journal-part-1.206543/

    They were my first 99 days here on NoFap. I felt invincible and left NoFap after day 90. Dumb mistake. That was over a year ago. My best since then was a year ago when I relapsed on day 60. I’ve learned some difficult lessons over the past year. I want to be done with MO forever but I’ve been beaten down so many times it gets harder to want to continue trying. But I’m still fighting and I’m making slow but steady progress. Streaks aren’t everything. Each day is a new opportunity to make good decisions. Each day I can decide to make a better choice and leave my past behind me.

    It's a very hard battle ,man. After a long streak you believe to be invincible but when you start to MO again , the dependence reappears.
    The possibility to MO with porn subs... because you think you have rebooted
    I still don't know how to act in these cases
    There're stories about people that left Nofap rebooted , without problems

    9th day guys!!
    (37 is my best streak)

    I think i am officially back on track. I haven't written since my last relapse. I had again very anxious days. The reason was an exam at uni. But i think i did it perfect today at the exam. I was very happy after that. I faced a lot of HUGE urges the last days and i felt very strong too.
    But as I was very happy this day i feel an emptiness/loneliness afterwards and ended up edging on instagram sexy models. I was a click away from porn i think but i restrained myself. I realized that there is a connection between my extreme hapiness and emptiness afterwards and i will observe it. Often when i am happy these feelings pop up. I think that happens because of my obsession (not so much currently) to find a gf. Even if I succeed at something important i fell lonely and like something is absent. And a nice quote here in my country says: Everytime something is absent. So I have to continue on working more and more on my myndset. I think i am on a good path.

    You are very inspirational guys!! Good luck!
     
  15. Thanks. Yeah, there are people who think that there is nothing wrong with MO. I have tried to convince myself of this as well many times but I still feel depressed and uninspired after doing it. I know it’s wrong because it tears me down instead of building me up. Any self defeating behavior must be avoided, whether it’s MO or P or alcohol or drugs or whatever. We cannot function to the best of our ability if we are under the influence of these drugs.
