  1. Todays marks one year of NoFap! Today was the day I started NoFap a Year ago, It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy...

    Prior to that I started it two years ago under the same date but I ended up failing, I learnt from my mistake and I moved on!

    If any of you have any questions feel free to ask - 5 days from now - I will close this thread!

    Ask me anything, I'll be happy to answer it.

    • First of all congratulations for reaching 1 year without PMO.
    • My question is
    • What do you think about porn? I mean your mental perception about porn, do you feel like it is something worthless or something like that?
     

  3. Thank you so much for your reply, I hope ylu'll achieve this as well someday.

    Regarding your question:

    To me Porn is nothing more than a Hardcore Drug - It's something that releases so much fopamine within the brain of it's consumer not to mention the long term effect which are related to eractile dysfunction and much more.

    I believe it's something dangerous, especially you want to improve yourself and grow over time - I think consuming porn equals a bad quality of life because the person who uses this is constantly abusing his / her brain which will make him have problems such brain fog and all.

    You want success in life ? Get Porn completely out of your life!

    Best of Luck! - Mr.Tony.

    Feel free ask me any other question!

    Hey pal. Congrats! Today is day 1 for me. I joined this site over 2 years ago and didn’t think it (porn) really affected me. However here I am again, I think if I even have to contemplate its effects then it’s definitely a problem. Congrats again on 1 year and my question is: what tips would you give someone on day 1 of their journey?

    What improvements have you noticed since you stopped fapping? Also how often did you fap before you start nofap? Did you notice any big changes such as mental clarity and social anxiety being gone?

    I feel as if I could sail threw this without the urges, they are extremely strong and i’m starting to think my Sacral Chakra is over active..Hoe do you deal with these. I’ve done cold showers, exercising, it’s still a build up leading to them. Even the slightest glance of garments or anything is a slip. How did you gain the willpower back and just give in?

    @Mr.Tony one more question please.
    What is holding me back in my recovery journey is boredom, if i may ask, what works for you please? Because i heavily rely on screen to numb my boredom but now i can’t do that because of triggers here and there. Please and please what should i do instead?

  13. My advice to you would be this one:

    1/ You should have a very strong " Why " your doing what your doing... I guess without you could just fall down easily.

    2/ Stay the hell away from A.I Algorithmic Social Media especially the one that suggest to you sexual content!

    3/ Do not engage in discussion related to Sexual Things and Focus on Succeeding one day a time!

    4/ Use Journaling, this one is cruacial because it helps you stay focused, try using it on daily basis!

    5/ Stop counting the days and just turn this into your identity, a lifestyle that you'll do for the rest of your life.

    Good Luck.

  14. Well, I can say that I don't headache now - I can slightly use my brain and my cognitives are getting better and better with each passing day.
    The thing that really change is that I don't have anymore interrupted sleep I used to have in the beginning - I can sleep well enough now, I also have these morning woods almost everyday. Regarding sensitivity - I don't know what you mean by that.


    @bernardo77 - Nothing really changed besides this yet, NoFap PAWS could up to 4 years in order to see huge improvement, I'm still in year one.
     
  15. Oh boy! I used to have these in the beginning - Yeah, It got reduced now.
     
  16. Well, when you talk about PMO dark time, I used to do it almost every week and sometimes It was daily, well I used for like 11 - 12 years. There isn't any big changes yet, but I can say that social anxiety is almost gone now, regarding mental clarity - I'm still a little far away from it.
     
  17. When it comes to will power that's a whole topic that deserves a thread of it's own, but anyways - I used to watch movies of normal average people who fought through hard circumstances to become the best of the best and to achieve greatness - somehow, when you expose yourself to such content on daily basis for a while - You become that content! Watch strong content makes you stronger!

    There are great movies and stroies that will inspire you to fight and improve yourself to become the best version of yourself despite the odds.
     
  18. We are on NoFap forums, right ?

    Nooo Faaap - Means No Masturbation. But anyways - What your reffering too is Edging - and it's so dangerous to your brain because it makes you on a high level of artificial pleasure due to Dopamine being flooded all over your brain non stop - It's like your consuming hardcore drugs.

    Combine that with Pr0n and you are firing your brain.

    Trust and believe me - that habit is no good, and it will cause you more pain and suffering, stay the hell away from it.

    Good Luck.

  19. Try to do something productive instead and try turning it into a habit, if extreme boredom is killing you, how about you do natural dopamine activities, like walking outside or doing some workout and talking with family or friends.

    It's just a habit you need to practice, overtime it will become so normal to do!

    Best of luck!

    Whenever I eliminate all stimulation, an incessant feeling of fear appears. Have you suffered it? Thanks in advance
