    How is your rebooting going on???
     
  4. I'm feeling good but a little bit impatient. Low level urges but nothing too important. I push them away as soon as the thoughts try to come in. I'm on a study break but the school library is still open so I will be going there to spend less time in my room studying and it will minimize the risk of relapsing.
    Today is Friday so I will be going out tonight instead of staying home!! I also realized that I'm more outgoing when I'm off PMO. I feel like going out much more, I feel FREE and it's a good feeling. I think about the March challenge with you guys and it helps me say NO! to porn. What about you ?? No urges ?
    I read that you talk really openly about it where you live, so it must be much more difficult to stop. With my friends we don't talk about it openly, so that helps too. If you talk about it so openly, how about you open a conversation with your friends about stopping porn?

    Hi friends,

    I think that relapse for me is getting very common because I am focusing too much on nofap these days.

    As I have already mentioned, to beat this addiction, first you need to forget everything like PMO doesn't even exist.

    But due to opening my account everyday, I feel that I keep on remembering it and hence relapse. So that is why

    I am taking a break and will be right back on April 1 to start nofap april challenge.

  8. hello I relapsed today
     
  9. I think if you read success stories you will on the contrary get motivated! dont leave nofap totally, moderation is required for everything!

  10. Ah damn :( I'm sorry for you. Now that I think of it, Eshaan is partially right though. Yes, in a way, nofap keeps you away from thinking about porn, but urges can be strong and even if away from NoFap, they can come, because after years of PMO, it built itself inside you.

    Yesterday I was reading comments on facebook until I came across this link. I clicked and a window opened with a sexy picture of a good shaped asian girl. Damn she was hot, but I immediatly closed the window, because I didn't want to get more thoughts. There was the possibility to see more pictures, but I didn't want to go with the temptation (the following pics were probably pictures of her getting even more undressed). I closed the window and stopped thinking about it immediatly.

    I simply avoid any porn thoughts to enter my brain, because if I don't manage them instantly, chances are bigger for PMO.

    And dude, keep thinking about your goals, think about the march challenge. We're already in the middle of the month, we have about 2 weeks left, you can do it PMO free. This time, focus on the two weeks left and then we'll begin the April challenge and that time, you'll go through the month, trust me ;) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. It's okay to fall from time to time, THAT IS HOW YOU LEARN.

    I had experienced some ups and downs these days, and I got a big urge this morning!

    I am proud I didn't relapse after the mind battle! The scale and power of the urge just remind me that there will be a long road ahead, and it's not gonna be easy!

  12. Prepare yourself mentally for a big mind battle in the next days. I noticed among several people that the larger urges are around 3 weeks. I can confirm that it was the case for me too!

  15. Damnit. I am having such a hard time today. I haven't slept well and I'm so afraid of relapsing. Yesterday on a website, on the sidebar, i saw a discussion about this porn star and I remembered who she was and since then I feel like looking up her videos. The temptation is so hard to fight......
    I know how it will be if I PMO, i know how I will feel. Now is not the moment to give in I have to prepare for an exam for next week. I need to focus.
    I am not going to mess up for 5-10 seconds of pleasure at the end, it's stupid. I'm half way through the march challenge, I don't want to start over.
    I feel more stressed this week since I need to prepare things for school and I feel that is the reason it's harder for me now.. The weather is also cloudy and rainy outside. It will be like that the whole week and I know that the weather has a lot of influence on me overall.

    10 Days so far and going strong. Almost had a few lapses, but recognized the triggers and caught myself early on.

    First time trying nofap and overall doing good.


    Emotionally all over the place the last couple weeks, high-highs and low lows.... this is normal, just read success stories. I've cried, laughed and both at the same time.

    P
    No urge to look at P at all, I even don't look at any bikini stuff, social media or anything, I turn my head when anything that could turn me on comes on the tele, I even have a close friend on skype that I've told to stop sending me naughty pics. Any urges I have are about real women and real scenarios.

    Mistakes
    Stupidly tried to play with myself in a flatline as I was freaking out my junk would never work again... where I was at my lowest low and really stressed out... nothing happened downstairs and I freaked out, never had this ever.

    Since then few times i've had a little play downstairs I've thought of nice normal things where i was in the scene as myself, with a girl that I know who was enjoying her self, I was relaxed, not deathgripping... its almost a whole new experience having thoughts like this clear of P (even when i had sex I would close my eyes and think of P)........ that being said its not a good idea to do this and the last time was my last time.

    I know I am healing and just can't wait to get to 30, or 60 or 90 days :D

    Changes
    Not going to lie I haven't had an awakening but due to how emotional this is I feel i'm no longer numb to things like I used to be.

    Eye contact is something I do now to everyone

    getting more content with my appearance.

    I get out of the house as much as possible... not for fear of relapse but just to start feeling part of the world again and not an observer.

    House is tidier and my "to do list" (i'm 33) is getting a whipping.


    Lessons learnt thus far:

    • Your brain will try and trick you into going back to your old ways
    • Mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, anger, depression..... all normal
    • Educate yourself about what is happening on a psychological level (yourbrainonporn)
    • You're not alone, we're all brothers in this.
    • EVERY DAY YOU ABSTAIN YOU ARE HEALING
