    Doing ok today. Urges during the day have lessened a bit. Night time can be challenging. I went swimming yesterday which helps. Also I notice the less I use my phone to keep checking social media the better I feel. Trying to be more present and not lost in constant distraction seeking.

    Hey 1000 Water Fists, how are fb,twitter,instagram porn subs? I don't understand. Are you sexting there or so? When its about triggering pictures or popups I recommend you to install an ad-blocker.

    I hate that ridiculous habit of checking social media, e-mail and how it's sped up. I remember years ago I would check my e-mail once a day at most. Then somehow it escalates to 200 times a day. I don't even know my reasoning for it. I'm not lonely and I'm usually glad nobody or few wrote.

    It's to do with these times too. If someone contacts you in any way you feel like you better be there.
    People used to wonder what happened to you if it took a week or so to get back to them and now it's 10 gd minutes.

    Yeah enough. My P habit is as much an internet habit and that needs to go for things to get better.
    it's amazing how much of this problem isn't even desire or lust for me but just dumb acquired habits in the media age

    i startad nofap again just before july. I am currently not really feeling well but i will continue to se the long term effects. currently i have serious consentration difficulties, it was harder to sleep the first few days but now it is ok.

    Honestly i do not think nofap without sexual partner is healthy but i might be wrong(not sure if i will be able to test that now..)

    I know how bad it feels man but all I would do is see if there is anything to learn from it and keep going. Don't binge and it's a great success rate. You can still do 30 of 31 days clean and that's epic.

    AllantheCowboys way of looking at this in terms of percentages and success rate has saved me from binges.

    And no you didn't let anyone down and I'm grateful for all your posts.

    Maybe I'm joining a bit late, and I´ve PMO:d this month; but currently I'm holding a personal record, and I will keep PMO free for remain of this month, hopefully also the month after this and the month after that and so on.

    It is funny that until this year i assumed thaat quitting masturbation hardly was possible but when i actually tried i did 15 days with ease. My first experiment was to quit fapping but still watch some erotics and the result was far from good so i decided to quit porn completely after one last day of PMO.

    Maybe i have it easier since i never was a heavy porn user, or maybe it is simply that i have 100% faith in myself.

    i feel so sad and upset. I cant even do a month of NoFap :(
     
  14. No need to feel upset brother. NoFap in general isn't an easy path. As men, we are literally de programming ourselves from something that we have been doing for nearly all of our lives.

    As well as being ambitious about getting a good streak going, we also need to remember how difficult this is. Re programming the body to become normal again can be a long winded process. You've got to be patient with yourself, man. If you're truly in this, then you're in it for the long haul. There will be ups and downs, but if your heart is in the process, then one day you WILL get this thing down, someday.

    Remember IT IS a process. NoFap has never been an over night thing.

    Take care of yourself mate and don't be hard on yourself.

    At times I've even wanted to end my life because Fapping :( this is how bad my problem is

  17. Yeah we've all been there bro.

    This is why the benefits of not fapping FAR out weighs sitting there fapping. I know it feels really good, but in the long run, don't you want to be the dude who can hold erections for hours on end while banging his women for hours without getting tired? NoFap gives you these benefits and more. Obviously it's more than just having sex, but you get my point right? No guys wants to be in a situation where he cannot please his woman.

    Every time you're about to Fap, remember that gloomy feeling of not wanting to even be alive. Is a 5 second orgasm worth it? It's not.

    One day, you will get it. Something in you will just snap and you'll just no longer fap. Until then, it's a process. People who go on really long streaks always talk about how it's a process. One day you'll just do it. We're all at a different place and it can take time.

    Woke up with hangover and felt pretty off. Went for walk and it helped clear head. I realize stress and boredom are two big triggers. On boredom it has been so easy to check out with P. Realizing I need a daily plan to deal with boredom. I find keeping a few books around on very different topics is helping. I pick one based on my mood. I've got lots of e-books but I find having actual paper book is way less tempting. Keep going everyone! Whether on a streak or stumble, keep moving forward . Walk, run, or crawl our way to freedom! Whatever it takes.
