Finally done 30 days (on 31 now). It has been hectic I did M and edge at times but didn't follow through as I told myself it's wrong and I will lose progress! Some may argue against this but IMO this allowed me to build DEFENCES and rewire some elements of the brain at the time of "fap or nofap" - one of the important times where i fell many times! Benefits gained; 1) more energy to perform easily through sleep deprived days 2) more attention from females 3) less anxiety 4) don't get angry as much or over little things 5) improved eyesight? ? 6) and yes improved erections!! Nos 3, 5 & 6 are very recent! Since about day 18/19 i haven't been eating much until day 29 - and was thinking i get no erections. Plus i fell ill and didn't eat for a week... Fact is i lost 2-3kg of weight. Since yesterday been eating and have been having firmer and longer erections. So nutrition plays an absolute vital part something we forget about! Went shopping today and got some lunch. This woman opposite me was chucking her hair all over in dire agony.. she was wanting attention and my mind kicked in and got an erection and leaked some precum. I didn't pursue her as i dont want to hinder progress. Well Phase 1 is done. Phase 1 for me was about resistance and not giving in. Phase 2 has started. I think this Phase is about embracing and welcoming erections and getting used to them. I have already picked up on a way to eradicate the erection - by changing the topic in the mind. Phase 2 will involve more mental work as well as the physical side. I got here by setting realistic targets. Next target is 45 days which is not next Sunday but the one after. Thank you to all members who have supported me - if i had relapsed when i was lashing out i would have only been on day 14 today at the very most. But instead am on 31. I relapse today it will take me 31 days to get back to here... on the other hand in 31 days i could be at 62 Cheers
Well done man, great job. Did you ever look at psubs, like bikini models, or instagram models etc during those 30 days?
No but i did look at "normal girl" pics. HOWEVER upon looking i used to say to myself "wtf are you doing. You been doing this shit for years if you continue you will relapse get a grip ffs" at this point i would lose the sexual stimulation in my mind and would delete or close sites. IMO this is positive as it allows me to gain control of the mind and the situation!
We have a choice with everything in life.... sometimes it is best to change and go for the other option...you gotta try everything once eh?
That is so great. I know with these things in mind you'll reach heaven in no time (not literally). Best of luck numpty. Cheers!
This post inspired me! I'm currently just on day 3 and I've just set my target to 1 week. Maybe I should set my goals a little higher say 15 days.
Well thank you guys but i relapsd at 37 two weeks ago and been relapsing like crazy since then! My own topics are not helping me! Ironic huh - sucks!
No worries, you know the benefits of a long streak, now use them to motivate you to keep at it. Thanks for sharing your experiences, every story is helpful for us to improve ourselves!
Thanks man It was due to to motivation from good members like yourself that kept me going for that streak
I think the trick is to not relapse too much. Like you relapse, get it out for the day, then continue with the streak the next day. When you just continue to masturbate, you get comfortable and may decide quitting isn't such a great idea anymore.
Damn so many people liked this post . Am inspirational to others but not myself? ! Odd isnt it???!! About time I become inspirational to myself! !!
Hey, buddy, I relate so strongly to your situation right now. I'm on day 31 myself so maybe there is something symbolic in me posting to you. Do you remember the first day you started that streak of 37 days? What was that day like? Was there anything that made it special, to give you the feeling that it was the beginning of an inspiring month? Think back and name a few things for me, even the most trivial details, would you? I'm curious.
On Sept 1 i was sick of everything and thought new start and end of all this crap. On Sept 3 i relapsd. HOWEVER i started again the following day and went full 37days. I had programmed my mind to think about task at hand and nothing else ie when having shower i would think about work or something and spend far more time and think too much. This is what got me 37 days. But fuck me i got benefits relatively quickly ie day 10, 16, 30 etc and i got a lot and that kept me going! I think i need someone that's near my level ie similar streak so we can relate to one another as AP. At the moment i got guys that are well ahead of me ie day 70+ so i think i can't relate to them or vice versa
There are every day many new AP requests. Take a look and just start with someone that fits you. Your experience as a fellow fapstronaut may help them a lot, especially in the beginning! You have gained already valuable experience against pmo, so use it for yourself and share it with those in need (all of us ).
