Hi! I'm 19 years old, and have suffered of PMO for 8 years; yes already at 11years old. During those 8 years, I have tried twice to stop: Both times failed on Day 7. I am currently on Day 5 (Started 9th Feb 2016). I am here, on NoFap, because I had an urge this morning, and I wouldn't give up, and I remembered seeing something about NoFap on 9gag or something similar, and decided to sign in! I have to say, I am a little confused, I don't know if I really should do the 90Days challenge. I am shy and introvert; I don't know how this challenge is going to help. I think I need help
I'm 22 years old and have suffered of PMO for 9 years and currently on Day 5 too!! Jz make your self busy by joining some sport game, meet new friend, if u really on urge then go outside jogging or have a cold shower for yourself. Stretch your limit and you can do it, we are here for you!
Aaaaaaaaah, Day 6 and this morning was hard to resists! Always waking up with those boners, huh. But I managed not to get back into the trap!
Hello emotionalist, welcome to nofap, you have choosen the right place to start this journey.Now what you are oing through i understand , i mean i just joined in a week a go and let me tell you its worth it. what you need to do my friend is not think about it thats one thing you have to do, when ever you get an urge do something like do pushups go out on a walk read a book do something that is not related to porn. is not easy but again worth it . dont think every time of the day that i need to stop i need to stop. Live your life do something that you realy like may be its going out on a jog or painting etc. and if you are waking up with those boners its normal. just leave it it will go away with time. your body is used to masturbation let it and i quote "relearn stuff ". and if you need and remember you have the support of all the members around here . I also suggest that you join the group heir of sun as you will get even better help here
Hey! Thanks for the support, I have tried to read, but it doesn't work haha, I'll try push ups or anything sporty related. I already joined that group hehe, even tho I don't know how it works, I can't find the message I wrote on the wall, I'm a little lost
hahaha its ok i have the same issue you wil get the hang of it soon as i am getting used to it too stay strong and dont give in you are better than this now i go end my 3rd day and begin 4th one
Nice! I almost gave up this afternoon! Knowing the pleasure it could have brought.. But I managed to resist.
Be prepared: wet dreams are very likely to happen during the first weeks. I had three of them during the first month of reboot. One can't do anything about them, just keep some clean underwear at hand. I don't know if you are into this kind of stuff, but practising regularly some breathing exercises can be a huge help during recovery.
Welcome to NoFap Mr. Emotionalist! Joining this website is already a huge step towards recovery. If you think the 90 day challenge is too tough then start small. Go for a couple of weeks or a month of no PMO. Work your way up and if you feel you're confident enough go for the hard 90. Do you have any hobbies or activities you like do, like reading, writing, drawing, etc.? Any goals you have for yourself? Keeping yourself occupied with other activities, especially those that you enjoy, will help ease your mind away from urges. Good luck on your journey, buddy. Congrats on making it to six days, that's already an accomplishment!
Thank you for the advices! I don't really have a lot of hobbies since I finished highschool and ended up at university.. I should probably play LoL less and start doing sports, but I don't have the motivation for it :/ Managed to survive the Day 7! It is my personal best since I started PMO! I hope to achieve much more,.. heading to another country for this week, I'm sure the trip will keep me busy
cingrags on day 7 and yes you should do sports to keep busy or something else which wil help you rebuild your life keep it up .
Day 8 gone well. I have been thinking about M for the past hour! I don't understand, I've done push ups, tired myself out, but the urgeeeeeeee... Why is this so hard
WEL you will have urges i am having them too , if you have done everything take a cold shower that always worked for me so far .
I'm 45 days in and sometimes I still feel strong urges. To me it seems that doesn't matter how much time you have abstained from PMO, it's normal to feel urges and some days it will be hard to not think about past habits. Especially after years of porn abuse. Carry on and stay strong. You can do it.
From the TedX I saw about it, it might take 4-6 months for my brain to get back to how it was :/ Day 9 going fine, no particular thoughts.
