Can't read anything for more than a minute!

I'm in the same boat as you. For me I just try to put white noise in the background to help me out but my attention span... hopefully some other great people can help us out here.

 

Can't read for contineous more than 1min....

Can't think contineous more than 2-3 min critically rationally ......

Yes bad habits addiction affected me also very badly

 

This is strongly related to pmo. Memory concentration even eyesight impair is the result. I have each of these symptoms after I had longer porn sessions and my brain got affected. Good news for me is that it reverses quit quickly in a few days as i stay abstinent. These effects this wrong use of the sex energy has is one of my motivations of getting completely sober of all wrong ways. Maybe it can become a motor for you too. The life quality difference with and without being impaired is enormous. I am clear about what I missed out in life through this! Insight and realization is one of the most powerful tools for me

This has helped me while using android phone.

 

I'm not sure if this will be of any help to you but I just want to put it in here just in case so that I can also reflect on it. Do you ever surf the internet a lot? And when I mean by surf in this context is, looking at stuff rapidly then switching to something different. I do this a lot, for example when I am on the NoFap subreddit I often look at a post that does catches my eye but instead of reading through what the poster posts, I just skim, skip the post(this can also apply to a lot of things like creating multiple tabs, etc) and move onto something else. I think what we should do together is have baby steps and work our way up. So as of now and I will begin to do this, if something catches my eye and I will read the whole thing. Book wise in your case, read one page a day, and if you feel you can do more, do more.

 

I am facing the same problem brother..but trust me it goes away when u start Nofap..within three weeks u will be able to focus and remember everything...it’s a terrible feeling,we all have to go through that but remember there is always a way out..all the best

 

I understand that feeling of having to read the same sentence over and over again and still not fully understand it.
For my case it was just as bad as how u describe it.
But it gets better gradually and during bad days even in a long streak, this problem tends to emerge again for a short period.
Im on day 130 and i still have problem focusing but im doing way better than the first month of my reboot.
I hope to see better improvement along the way.

Thanks for writing this post. I was about to open up this topic but busy with something else. It can be quite frustrating when i cant concentrate on such a streak.

 

From my experiejce and speaking for myself it needs dedicated continued effort on various fronts. Restraint, this writing here, therapies, physical excercises, reflection on oneself (most important for me), identifying the triggers, insights. I work on this since a long time and made much progress while still having had set backs. But the picture changes. Endurance is one mile stone for success. Continued effort. The good thing for me was/is that I learned a lot about myself because I had to. This again is very valuable.
