The March Challenge.Post your experience here.

Ah shoot, again ? Sorry for you man.

I think the main reason that caused you to relapse is the lack of sleep. Your brain is not functioning as usual so you have less control over the wolf that is inside you trying to make you fap. I noticed that for example, when I had a night of intense drinking with friends and not a lot of sleep, well that's when I relapsed. I'll tell you that my last relapse was caused by that. I remember that I spent the whole night going out and I was tired during the day, and then I relapsed. I try to stay away from sleepless nights because I tend to relapse. Sleep is very important in this challenge.


I have to admit I feel a bit horny right now, and sometimes I have tiny thoughts of porn, but I throw them away instantly and think about how bad it was the last time I relapsed and how good I feel without it. Try observing the difference between when you are on porn and off porn. Try remembering how great it is, and focus on that. If you have any urges, leave the room you are in right now. If you have any weights lying around your place, do a few reps and it will take the urge away. Also, when you're alone or have nothing to do, stay away from the room it usually happens. That's what I usually do. When I study, I go to the school library and study there instead of being alone in my room where anything can happen. I have a lot of destractions in my room. I got a PC, a PS4 and of course a TV to distract me, plus the damn porn accessible on my PC.

So yeah, to sum up, try to stay strong dude, don't let porn get to you so easily !! Try to do these two things: Sleep and avoid being alone I believe in you and I'm tired of seeing your counter reset !!!! You can do it, we're supporting you !! STAY STRONG.

 

Btw, ugggh, it doesn't help me on my side downloading on torrent sites, it's loaded with sexy chicks -.-

 

Day 1 passed with high colors. No specific urges till now but now I am alone at home. I think I might do something like that so I have written some inspirational notes besides me. I won' lose this time without a big FIGHT.

@Eshaan : Yes, I will try your app and will post review in my next comment.

 

@pmaxit you're alone ? you need to go out asap especially that you're only 20 hours PMO free, the urge can come any time... i believe you can fight it but it's better not to take the risk! good luck!

 

Hi there,

I'm feeling a bit confused with my NoFap journey.

I managed 65 days at the end of last year, and as of today I managed 30 but relapsed. The problem is my partner is away and I got home from work tired and not sure what to do with myself. I'm worried it's just too easy and enjoyable to do and I'll always go back to it after awhile!

I feel like I need to know that further on down the line I will have developed the strength of will to just barely even think about it and not even need it in my life. At the moment I just can't see it happening. I finally confessed to my partner the other month about my shame and guilt about using porn sometimes. She was supportive and was glad I told her so that felt really good to not have the secret lies anymore, but now I feel like I've let her down again. I will try and pluck up the courage to tell her I fapped again but this time I'll go for even longer and with any luck hit those 90 days.

I sort of hate the nf counter I've got installed on my phone and feel the days ticking slowly up, only to be knocked back again which is really demoralising.

Ahhh, give me some support good people!!

 

In order to avoid such situations as you mentioned i suggest you to tell your friends frankly of not sending such videos again in future and suppose if the urges are damn hard to control do different things that you are interested in such as listening music, talking to peers etc but don't do things in which you have to force yourself to do it during that moment of time.

 

But I am asking myself if that's the right method, basically you are just running away from ur fear. I think to beat it, you have to face it, look your "enemy" in the eyes. Show your mind, that you are stronger than your addiction. What do you think?

 

I'm a little late, but I'm in as well.

 

Good to be around energy that's anti-PMO!

Let's keep at it!
