How long it takes to fully heal Mentaly ?

I takes 5month - 7month from experience. I got booted completely after 6months from my 1 strip my respiratory, digestive & sex organs where disconnected from porn, when I see flashy images I don't get panic attack, I don't fanatics, no urge I only feel like I want to excrete, I think your excretory system would be the last to be disconnected from porn before u say u are completely free, but I relapsed when I took a cough syrup because of cater & cough, my dopamine level increase and all the urges came back, I'm in my 5th month now since relapsing to a cough syrup I'm feeling much better I think I will boot completely this month from the way I'm feeling, I feel so relief NOW the panic attack and urge has reduce drastically. Keep booting u r almost there,

Note: avoid any dopamine increasing substance even after complete booting

 

Getting urge when u hear sounds or words that are arousing is a sign u are in the last stage of your booting.

U can as well know if u would get booted in a week time by your dreams, if u usually dream of yourself binging to porn videos note the last dream u would have before your sex organ is disconnected from porn u will see the pixel but it wouldn't be clear it would look like the pixel is disgusting or rotten or something more like a corpse or a old photograph in the 18th century. When your sex organ is disconnected consider yourself free form porn forever, when u get urges u would just be feeling it in your head but u won't feel like u want to cum. From there u can relax and watch your remaining system recover from the addiction. Good luck

 

First of all brother, my condolences on the passing of your father.. That's horrible to hear. I hope you are doing well.
You are doing good with NoFap I can see.

What I quoted above is what I think is a problem, a lot of NoFappers act this way so you are not the only one. Naked scenes aren't necessarily a problem. If it gives you urges, then sure go ahead and turn it off. But if it doesn't there is nothing wrong with a naked scene of 20 seconds. It isn't the same as porn. Watching porn is like a rhythm or a program in your head. Turning your browser on knowing that you are going to watch some P can turn you on already if you are an addict. Whilst there is nothing horny about turning your browser on. But your penis knows it's gonna get some.

Watching porn daily and for hours is disastrous. No one should do it, but quitting feels like the hardest thing in life. It goes against your nature. It's normal to want to 'reproduce', in our case jack off. But I don't think 1 naked scene in a movie is gonna change your NoFap streak. It should be normal to look at women. No offense but you look like a kid when you turn off your movie because there is a naked scene in it, don't you think?
As long as you don't watch porn, do it daily, watch for hours then there is nothing wrong with 1 naked scene brother.

Keep up the good streak. You are gonna get there.
But remember: You can never watch porn again. Only then u will get rid of this disease.

Good luck, I wish you the very best.
May your father rest in peace

 

Don’t try to curb or abstain yourself forcefully from viewing such things.. this in turn means that there is still a desire in it.. it’s better to go to root level problem and cut it from the roots.. we need to see the world as it is but the problem is such that it one see a bad image he starts to think..!!


It’s all in the mind and image.. if you see such image, video or sound I would recommend you to observe what’s in your mind for a moment and once you do that - it stays till it needs and goes away..

it’s something like a seed that blossoms into flower and withers away...

 

I can really relate to that, as soon as that thought comes into your mind you loose the motivation to work and so on. What happens is simply your brain playing tricks on you because it knows it's a higher dopamine boost (e.g. bigger reward) in thinking about those things than it is to stay motivational for work. If your brain can play tricks on you, then you can play tricks back . Read my last post in the thread 913 days of no porn, https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/913-days-of-no-porn.296576/
Realise what is going on: you sense your emotions (leading to increase heart beat and so on). This means you're not hacking yourself. Take a deep breath and tell yourself what you should feel instead. For example, when I worked yesterday and wanted to do something else, I started to think like "I really love this job, this is so freakin' fun!" which was just a lame emotional hack but it worked. I stayed focused.

First, define normal. Second, define in what state you are. Then find the differences. What do you need to change in order to to fit your definition of normal? You will never get normal by just blocking tempting thoughts, you have to replace them with something else, e.g. the missing things a normal person thinks about that you don't think about yet.

Time is one thing but what you do with your mind during that time is most important. Blocking thoughts can make you to abstain things for years but I would say you will never fully heal fully if you don't work making new associations. Somehow you start thinking about things you don't want to think about. Why did you start thinking about this? How did the association pattern look like? Analyse the situations an build new association patterns.

During a reboot, it's just unnecessary risky to expose yourself to that kind of content. I did exactly the same thing before I had got confident enough to resist the temptation to escalate. @Mr.Tony , good move to look away. Keep doing that for some more time.

 

The moment your sex organ is disconnected u will stop to fanatise, u wouldn't be able to think of porn even when u try

 

It took me 2 years to get out of the addiction for the most part FYI. So keep it up. Takes a long time to rewire the brain.
