The March Challenge.Post your experience here.

I hate the fact that I have to use a Mail client at work that has "close-to-porn" ads on display all day long. (You guessed it right!) I don't turn on ad blockers because I need to know what my users are experiencing all day. But it makes my nofap goal freakishly difficult.

 

Btw I am making other lifestyle changes along with NoFap including eating right, taking stairs etc. Lost 2 pounds and gunning to lose 40 by the end of the year. I am seeing results of this program already

 

Good luck.

Nofap isn't the answer to everything but getting your diet in check will make you feel better in no time.

Got a blender?

 

And today is the start of my 90 journey.

 

Hey can anyone show me how to get one of those badge counters I see in people's signatures?

 

Day 45!!! Halfway to 90!!!

 

I watched a ted talk that inspired my desire to connect with people. Almost immediately i found nofap. I started March 1st. I slightly edged at times, sometimes it was really easy but I got in a nightmare stressful event and ended up breaking 10 days(imagination,no porn). It was an incredible stress relief but later that night the urge came on much stronger then ever and it was clear that i could not do it again. So i'm back on day 10 now and i absolutely expect success. I know i will never watch porn again.

The best perk so far i think is the sense of being clean. I feel more honest and i'm slowing speaking up. Just that extra 'hello', i try a bit more, i notice when girls look, i'm commenting here right now.

Eager to keep following this journey.

 

Hey guys, today I'm hitting a 3 week streak of nofap. Yesterday, I had a chemistry exam. It was difficult but I felt a big difference compared to my last math exam done a month ago where I PMOed not long ago before the exam. Usually I stress and blank out during big exams. This time I didn't stress and blank out, even if the exam was difficult. I see progress. In a few days I'll be breaking my previous record of 25 days. I need to keep going. I have a lot of motivation. I'll be travelling to Europe in summer, and my goal is to not masturbate until I leave in June. After that, I won't need to worry about fapping because i'll always be on the go !

The fact that I was calm at the exam yesterday is really getting me motivated, because I see the difference when I don't fap.

I also met one of my good friends yesterday, and a initiated a conversation about porn by making a joke. Then I became serious and I told him how I'm staying away from it, because of the distraction it causes. He agreed with me and he told me himself that he was taking a break from it. I told him my opinion that it's harming me by distracting me and taking away my confidence with women. He told me I was right and that he's also staying away from it until summer. We didn't talk about details about the effects but it was great to talk about it to a close friend.

 

March Challenge Complete. Are we doing the April Challenge ?

 

Great . Keep up your good resolutions.you will feel wonderful.

 

Look at all of us doing progress here!! Later today I'll be reaching 48 days. I can't believe it !! This is my all-time life record of porn abstinence. I have never reached 48 days nofap !! I have had some urges but I managed them !! I just passed half of my objective and in less than two weeks, I'll be reaching 2 months !! When I have urges, I tell myself there is no way I'm falling back on that road. I do feel anxious from time to time but I'm pretty sure it's still the side-effects of P. I mean, it's pretty normal because I spent nearly half of my life watching P (If I think of it... I started at 11, now i'm 25 so yeah...) so it's normal that it takes time. It's better to stop as soon as you realize it is a problem !! Act as soon as possible, you don't want to spent a lifetime consuming P.

 

You are an inspiration. Please keep telling your story and try to counsel others. You are a living proof that it can be done. Even though sometimes it seems to be impossible, it will get easier. You don't want to relapse and urges,( they will never go away because we are living human beings, ) will be easier to manage. Thanks a lot for telling your story and thus encouraging other to succeed as well. If you don't mind me asking are you in hard mode?

 

Hey ! I'm really glad to hear that I'm an 'inspiration'. I try my best to cure myself out of this addiction, then I offer the most help I can offer to help others. That's how everybody should do in this community.

Some urges are harder than others, but the most important is to think that you DON'T want to fall back in P, just try to remember how bad it used to be and how much effort it took you to get to this point. You really don't want to mess up your streak just because of a 'simple' urge. Just try to think about it, O doesn't take long, 10 seconds at most ? Do you really want to destroy what you have done just for a few seconds of O? Try to think what happens when you're done with P. NOTHING. Emptyness, anxiousness, stress, sadness, etc.. And plus you feel guilty that you destroyed everything you built.

I am doing hard mode. No P, No M, O only through sex. I only want to have real sexual interactions with a woman, no more PMO and for the moment, no M at all. I need to rebuild myself. If you think of it, my whole sexual life included watching porn. Now I'm making a change and am rebuilding myself without porn. I feel a change, and I can see that women notice me more and more. I have the impression that while I was watching P, it was detectible that I was less confident in my body language thanks to porn. And seriously, ask all the questions you want, we're here to help each other out after all !!

 

Thank you very much. I sure will if I have any more questions. I will follow you because I love to read successful stories. By reading what you just wrote you seem to have the whole issue figured out. Congratulations.

 

Congratulations. You are doing great. This is really a successful story.

 

I don't know what's going on but the past day or two I am so tempted by watching P. I am preparing to have one of those days where I need to fight the temptation. This week I have had a few dreams that I was watching P. Even last night, I don't remember exactly my dream, but I feel like I PMO'd. I kinda feel weakened today. I can't believe it's hard even after 51 days. I know I must not quit the noFAP, I must be strong. These times I wish I had never touched porn in my life.
Now I just feel the wolf inside me is really hungry and wants me to feed it. Today I woke up a bit anxious and felt a bit cold. I was shaking for no reason, and I identified right away why I am feeling this way, which is P. I sometimes really feel the physical side-effects of stopping P. Hope you're all doing fine in your challenges!
