NoFap's Official Monthly Challenge Signups: PMO-Free June 2015

So far so good! I'm on a current streak of 15 days since May 26. Keep up the good work everyone! And if you've fallen off, don't worry about it, the counter is just a counter, you didn't lose the reboot progress and brain changes that occurred in those days you stayed clean. It's never too late to hop back on the reboot train!

 

First time reaching 30 days !

 

I relapse after after 65 day... I stand up and run my marathon out

 

Still going along here. it's a shame this thread drops down so far!

I'm on day 29 today. I've been trying since the start of the year and this is by far my longest run. Still getting mood swings, anxiety and the like, but also odd moments of confidence, good mood and calm.

How are we doing guys? Still going for the month?

 

Will post here alongwith my progrss log. Will be the same content though.

DAY 1
Tuesday - 16th of June, 2015

Successfully completed the first day. No porn - no masturbation.

I somehow feel that masturbation will lead to relapse for I have since my early teenage years only masturbated to porn and porn fantasy. So, it is on my no-no list for the time being.

What are your take on it guys? Do write below. Point me to a goo d article on it if there is any.

I think I have wrote enough for today. Will check the forums again tomorrow.

 

Glad to know that someone else is still standing keep it up man. Let's keep June fully clean

 

Getting in a little late for June, but going to try a 90 day PM reboot. I want to free myself from a porn and excessive masturbation addiction. It has replaced the role of meaningful sexual encounters in my life, prevented me from having intimate sexual encounters with real people, and caused myself and my girlfriends to feel inadequate when I can't achieve an orgasm in sexual encounters with them. In the last 8 years I have not been able to have an orgasm with a woman. Thus my interest in sex has waned and my public persona lacks the masculine energy of a man with a healthy sexual appetite. I want to have a meaningful relationship that can eventually develop into a serious, long term relationship. While I don't see porn as inherently wrong, I acknowledge my inability to manage its role in my life. I am hoping this reboot will play a role in my recovery and rediscovery of who I am. I want to be a product of my goals and mission in life, not the product of my addictions.

 

Congratulations dude. I am still 29 days away from the landmank.

 

8 years! I use to genuinely believed myself to be the worst stuck by it. Your post gave me a warning, I hope mine gives you sympathy.

 

Exactly from June 1st my NoFap journey is started.... 16 days passed.

 

So this month for me has died in the arse.
3 PMOs in 6 days. Gotta love it.

 

Wanted to post it yesterday night but just fell asleep.

WEEK 1
DAY 2
Wednesday - 17th of June, 2015

It is 11:30 pm here in India. The day is about to end, which marks my second day in my reboot process. My body feels deferent. Perhaps it is just my mind telling me so, but whatever it is, it does feel great.

Had my Exams Today. Perhaps I was not 100% prepared for it but still performed well. My decision to embark on this NoFap journey yesterday kept me in good mood today. At about 3:30, I did get some wild urges but just wrote about it somewhere in this forum, which did wonders in reducing its intensity of my craving. Guys, writing down your feelings always help. It is perhaps even better to put it down in a social forum like this where others people can chime it and add their valuable insights.

That is all I have for today. I will write again tomorrow.

 

I'm running out of places to hide and I want to be normal again so put me on the list

 

WEEK 1
DAY 3
Thursday - 18th of June, 2015

Relapsed today! Felt like shit - considered suicide - but decided to fight back stronger than ever.

Reason of relapse -
For thinking that I could control my porn use instead of eliminating it. I was under stress too so that might accelerate the urge to watch porn and masturbate. Began the day browsing Facebook pictures of girls that go to my school. Soon began seeing bikini clad women - then homemade porn and then in a very subtle way, even before I could realize it, I was in the hardcore stuff.
Lesson to learn -
1. Porn use can’t be used in moderate quantity. It will soon escalate and consume your time completely.
2. Sensual images should be avoided. The ‘Non Arousal Mechanism’ by Gary Wilson (www. Yourbrainonporn. Com) combined with the ‘hard mode’at the moment seems to be the best option.

I hope I don’t repeat my mistake. I end my third day with this.

WEEK 1
DAY 4
Friday - 19th of June, 2015

Today is wonderful. It might be because I had relapsed yesterday and my sperm ducts are empty. I had a habit of masturbating every next day, so today there are no triggers whatsoever. Tomorrow will be challenging but I am ready for it.

Got my Physics and Mathematics exam soon so I have to put a lot of effort in my studies. This is good for it will let my brain re-wire and destroy old pathways and develop meaningful and empowering habits. I have great academic and business dreams which I will concentrate my focus on.

Also from the next day onwards I have decided to add a section in my daily log about all things related to NoFap that I learn that day. Maybe I will do that on a weekly basis. Not decided fully but will definitely think about it. I guess that’s all I have for today; I am learning more as I grow. The next post will come tomorrow.

 

I am in too made it through the whole may already and still going. Currently 49 days

 

50 DAYS. COME ON GUYS, WE CAN BEAT THIS.

 

Sorry but I have gone passed being helped so I believe that the only way to get the problem over with is to be six feet under so let it be written so let it be done

 

I relapsed. Bah! Not today, but over the last weekend - on three days. (I keep forgetting about this thread, which keeps falling off the front page - how are we all doing?)

It's a shame of course, and I won't complete the month of June with a clean record. It was the end of my longest ever streak - possibly in my adult life, certainly since starting here - and I'm proud of that. June will also be much better than May was, which was better than April.

When I do relapse I do tend to binge. I never give up on the idea of abstinence but it seems to take a day or two or three to get it out of my system and get back on the horse again. Any advice gratefully received. Naturally, I don't want to relapse again, I know I've made progress and accept that the black and white low number on my counter doesn't reflect the whole picture, but I accept I need to start acting in a different way if and when I do relapse.

Hope everyone's doing OK? Very quiet in here.

 

...?!
WHAT?!
NO!
