Thank you too! I agree, it is great to have this fellowship for support and encouragement. Good job overcoming those urges. How did you do it? It is very embarrassing to relapse; I have been there many times and I regret every one. I am glad I came here today instead of relapsing again. I was close, but I did not give in. Stick with your NoFap journey. You can do this! Onward!
hear hear!! very good bro, i strongly support your new path. semen retention gives a lot more benefits and much faster. once i did almost 6 months no porn/masturbation but allowing sex, and i felt lot´s of ups and downs. then i did 1 month (35 days) of semen retention and i felt tremendous benefits much faster. in fact in 1 mont of semen retention i think i gained the same benefits of 6 months of nofap!! i encourage every rebooter to go through a period of monk mode, not just for the benefits but also and specially to break free from any kind of sexual slavery, to master oneself from sexual stimulation.
don´t be upset bro, the brain takes 18 to 24 months to fully heal, so during that time you´re still an addict and it´s pretty normal to be haunted by sexual images. the main problem here is the "giving up". you got to see what is happening in your life that makes you wanna escape through PMO. reflect my brother, and act accordantly My brother, you will destroy the ring this year and there are no words on how much you´re inspiring the Fellowship. Thank you bro, we´re with you!!!
that´s good enough bro . Sometimes we can´t have great days, sometimes we just have to be patience. Keep going, you´re doing great!!!
don´t worry bro , this is all a journey of ups and downs. learn with the shame and let it guide you to better paths. learn from this fall, reflect and improve. Carry on my brother, you´re doing great!!
exactly. first, the more you watch those contents the more you want to watch, so a relapse is always close by. second, when you watch those contents you´re not rewiring the brain for recovery, you´re still flooding the brain with unnatural sexual stimulation and reinforcing the addiction. it really doesn´t matter if it´s hardcore pornography or swimsuit girls. on a basic level it´s all the same because it all creates arousal. don´t let the addiction fool you bro, stay away those things, all of them.

Hello all. One of the other challenges I do said not to consider my reset yesterday a reset, since if I did ejaculate, it was by accident. As I said in my post, I was super sensitive down then, and sometimes, I mindlessly touch myself (probably out of habit). It is not so much masturbation at least not how I normally masturbate, and usually I realize what I am doing and stop in time. However, last night, I was so aroused that assuming this is what happened, I am not sure if I should label it an accident (as it was mindless) or as a reset as I am (because it was still potentially touching myself that led to me orgasm). It feels like such a defeat to be honest, because I did not realize what I was doing (and I need to address that, so that I am catching myself a head of time), and a part of me is like "if you were going to masturbate, why did you not just masturbate?" So now I feel like crap, and I feel like I am in limbo. Responsible for the orgasm, and yet, not fully conscious of what I did. What do you think @RiseToGreatness ? Everyone is telling me that it was not me making the conscious decision to relapse, and that as it was an accident and not to images, so I should not reset, but if I am going to return my counter to 13 days now, I want to make sure that the leaders of each challenge are okay with that? Best, Mathman1994 Edit: I don't know what to count yesterday. It was a bad day, and I was not deliberately masturbating, and my mom always says that when there are big changes in life, I tend to sabotage myself, and because it felt so good to have that orgasm (assuming that is why I all of a sudden felt better), I feel like I should feel bad for that. In that case, I am just punishing myself for being human and having certain involuntary responses to slight stimuli such as feeling my erection (which is painful for me due to overzealous masturbation when I was younger causing scar tissue to build up. So I am going to return my counter to day 13 and remain and Urak-Hai. Hopefully that works?
Day 0, Paid for P blocking software this morning. I slipped up Fellowship, and am working on righting the ship. If I am willing to pay for P then I should be willing to pay for a P blocker, and so I did. Up and licking my wounds, time to put one foot in front of the other. Best to you all!
Had a fall fellowship. One slip. Not the end of the world. I am not back to square one. Healed a lot in the last month and a bit from my 2-15 day and 1-5 day streak. Did not even nearly bring down the foundations built. Keepin at er. 1 day at a time. With Gods grace and building of healthy habits I will get through this. March on soldier.
Checking in. Was testing something on an app and pornographic images popped up. I so badly wanted to get off to them, but I closed out and came on here instead. I think I just need to log off my devices tonight, and start again tomorrow when I am more clear headed. Unfortunately, I have a student tonight, so I might see if he can reschedule, as I am feeling a little off right now. Best, Mathman1994 Edit: I got off work, so I am logging off for the night
Day 133. Feeling good today. Overall I had a really positive day and am looking forward to hump day Almost halfway through the week! Keep up the good work everyone!
