    I've recently join nofapped probably a month or so ago and, I made a goal of doing a year without fapping (that obviously did not work for me after I tried it 2 or 3 times) but after I failed a couple of time I made it to 17 days without PMOing, and then after I did that I thought 365 days will be to hard for me. So I changed my goal to 14 days to see if I can get passed 14 days (cause I've heard that thats the hardest to get passed) so then after that I only made it 6-7 days without PMOing, and then I thought well that was an ok start lets retry the goal. So I recently only made it 2 days without PMOing! Only 2 days from my previous goals, I then was like "that was a bad start maybe one more time." Then I only made it another 2 days! So I recently changed my goal to 7 days to see if I can make that, If I cant then I will be very sad about what I have come to. P.S. I've read a lot of forums about how to stop but none of them seem to be working for me is their any tips I can get for how to not urge myself to watch porn?

    Forgot to mention: I do swimming a lot, and I feel like PMOing is affecting me because my arms become tired from things that usually dont tire me but since I've been PMOing often my arms feel tired now, yet even though I know its probably from PMOing I still do it. And its to the point were I need help.
     
  3. My friend, we've all come to that realization that we're in deeper than we thought. First off: Admit to yourself what you already know: This is going to be harder than you thought. Me, the first time I decided to quit, I had realized that PMO had been driving my actions and me and my girlfriend were going farther than we initially wanted. And I realized it was because my brain attributed physical action with showing affection. When I realized this, I obviously found a huge motivation to quit. And the next week was simple. I would reach for a device to look up something, I'd freeze, and I'd pull myself away and say "Nope. That's not an option anymore. Out of the question." But slowly I found myself creeping back into it, and within a week and a half, I had relapsed. I felt like crap, and I thought, "I just have to get serious about this." And yet here I am, since February, currently with a streak of about a month. And I still struggle with edging every few days, and it's something I'm working on.

    There won't be any one plan that will work for you, in my opinion. Because not everyone is you. One thing I'd recommend for inspiration and ideas, is to check out the HTL 90: NINTY DEGREES IN NINTY DAYS plan. It is a large amount of reading, but it's very very helpful stuff. Also: If you need more help, please message me, dude! I may not know everything and I may still struggle, but the only way we can make it through is with people helping us!
     
  4. You aren't motivated enough at the moment. You need to reach a threshold point where the pain of abstaining is worth the long term vision you have for yourself.
