Guys, What's Your Biggest Challenge?

My biggest challenge is being able to hang out with my friends because I can go out on the days I workout since I live pretty far from the gym. But this month my friends have been busy with jobs and SAT prep and I work a job but not too often. I need some advice because I'm usually by myself and that's a huge trigger for me. I do try reading books and I'm bulking so sometimes I can't do as much cardio and i meditate in the mornings with cold showers also.

 

My biggest challenge is believing that I'm capable of recovery. It feels like nothing I do works, and the stuff that might help I'm simply not capable of. I'll certainly keep trying, but I feel really discouraged.

 

@Cheech Im only 16 so the only way i could think of is school but its summer right now.

 

My biggest challenge is the fucking fantasies and trying to test myself. I don't think porn is a problem anymore, I don't crave it, nor do I crave masturbation. Ive done neither in the past 84 days. Now I am thinking about girls cause I wanna knw if I can get hard. I can, however since its been like 80 days since ive had any sexual feeling, as soon as an erection goes away, I crave it again, its really an addiction, I haven't felt tht good in a while so..
And my doc cut off my xanaxx prescription so that makes shit worse cause I ha

 

Be encouraged brother. You can do it - don't refuse your strength by giving into the urges of your body. You're stronger than that - we're all in this fight.

 

My biggest challenge is to win this battle I keep having with myself. I overthink things, I get addicted to things easily, I lose motivation often and I can't keep consistent in anything. I've recently started meditating and am doing my best to stay consistent with a daily practice, and so far I've made it 6 days of 30 minutes each day. Easily my best effort and I hope to keep going in hopes that I can sort out my problem.

 

While control of senses is absolutely vital for celibacy, I find the biggest challenge in control of thought/imagination. I have yet to learn how to stop thinking or dwelling on thought/imagination. Although I am good at elaborating on ideas, that is also my weakness in celibacy. Things have their good and bad sides. Now I need to learn to give up overthinking things when it is appropriate to do so, because there are times when I am overthinking things too much, and this leads to breaks in celibacy.

 

yesss. i understand exactly what you mean.

 

My biggest challange is dealing with this addiction.My boredom lead me back to this drug called pmo.Sometimes its really hard for me to find a routine that I should stick too.I get lazy and get too comfortable and forget that doing the same things over and over lead me back to pmo.I have taken 2 weeks off and I think I have found a way to beat my addiction.It will take sometime to get where I need to get but nothing is impossible.

 

Regulating my emotions towards a beautiful woman to not scare her away.

 

I can't stop obsessing over other women and feeling dissatisfied with my wife. That's my biggest challenge.

 

My biggest challenge would be a certain anonymous image board that despite how much of a s***hole it is I honestly do enjoy browsing some of the more tame boards nightly. But no board is safe and there are so many damn images and sometimes I just get triggered. It's hard when there are so many visual cues around a place you like being but ehhh. I should probably just not use the internet so much.

 

Well it's good, because semen retention (nofap) helps to keep your emotions in check by balancing your energy correctly. Too much PMO fucks up your emotions and unbalances them.

Nofap should cure both of your problems

 

Fantasies about porn or women come up as urges and sometimes they are pretty difficult to fight, today's media certainly doesn't help either.

 

exactly, i was watching fucking tarzan on abc family, the commercial had a fucking show about a girl hooking a guy up with her friend and the guy was like "i can do an emotional relation ship, but mostly a physical" or something like that. On ABC fucking family. Todays slut culture is making it very hard to reboot. I wouldn't mind it once I'm done though.

 

Similar to @Golgo 13, my biggest challenge is my anxiety about the results of my reboot at this point. I unfortunately didn't start NoFap with hard mode so I am almost at the 90 day mark of no PMO however about half that for no MO. I KNOW something has had to have changed upstairs (and down) since I've walked away from these habits, but I am nervous to experience the changes once I do get a girl in bed with me. What could they be? How can I be so sure that they will ALL be positive? There is just a lot of question marks and it is nerve wrecking.

It is almost as if I have been so persistent in my efforts that I have created this uncertainty anxiety in my head. Deep down I know this is right though. NoFap is and always be necessary for me.

 

The only thing u can do is continue to reboot, take it from me i have had times where it was hard, but recently (past 20-30 days) I hae noticed a big change in my life. I get aroused easily just by looking at real women. Yes sometimes there are tough days where i wonder weather i will be able to get hard, or if sex will feel good, or "where did my libido go?". But the only thing you can do is continue rebooting; no one said it would be easy, we have had many years watching PMO, but this is only a few months we have stopped. The alternative is you go back to PMO, ill tell you, if you do that, your going to become depressed, do you really want to throw away 43 days? Personally I think it will take around til the end of the year for me to be completely back to normal as in pre-porn, so it takes time buddy, we all have things in life that demand immediate attention, but nofap is something that is a long journey/process, so just keep doing what your doing due, we're all in the same boat.
