Get in here and begin our 3 months of 150% productivity! This is my first time attempting a reboot, so it's not gonna be easy. However I do have a girlfriend, so I'll still be sexually active, but my rules are simple: NO PORN NO MASTURBATION REFER TO RULES 1 & 2 I have so much work to catch up on, so many side projects I have to do. This will all get done in these 3 months! Also looking for an accountability partner, preferably another male uni student aged 18-22.
ASAPpocky. All the best with your 3-month reboot. I can hear the note of determination & clear resolve in your words. You can do it. Keep checking in here & I'm sure you'll find an AP partner soon. We move forward! T22.
I am in the same boat. Working on not only getting myself back through reboot but also getting back the time, work and productivity lost to fapping. I am really excited by this thread and look forward to the journey of not only sobriety but also getting back everything else that I have lost. The though of making this the most productive time of my life created an additional paradigm for success other than just "getting though this reboot"
More power to you all! Keep checking in here & together we can hit 90 & beyond. Kicking PMO is just the start - SO MUCH MORE awaits us in our PMO-free futures. Strength! T22.
Holy moly! It's been 1 day and I've gotten so much done! But now that I have all this free time... very easy to be tempted into old ways. I mean I just got a new graphics card, so it's time to unwind and play some games
Gaming beats PMO, any day! As long as you stay vigilant & try to avoid your particular PMO risk factors, enjoy! T22.
I don't see why you can't join. Its about see how productive you are when you are not spending your life "fapping around". Lets do this!!!
Good luck to everyone else on this journey! How's everyone's day been? I hope it was productive! Got a few projects done today, and for some reason I decided to work them right away rather than procrastinating on them. Feels good brehs
I am doing the same. Got up early this morning and focusing on what I need to get done. I am getting though projects that would have taken me twice as long as when I had my head in porn and fapping like my life depended on it.
Good to hear, the_navigator! How's everything going for you? Quick update: Had a chill weekend where I didn't even think about porn, just constantly had things to do and not much time alone with my computer. Putting myself out of that environment as well as my comfort zone really helps! It's only been one week since I started, but I'm read to continue onto NoFap May!
It was good, had a few moments of not really needing porn more of wanting to find someone to have some fun with which for me is just as bad or worse than porn. I have been going to meetings daily and helping a friend who just realized he has an addiction and helping him get into program. Busy weekend but really good, both being of service and digging into my recovery. I do the same thing then I am feeling really triggered or in a situation where I would almost always fire up the porn and go at it, I just left the situation. Everyone was out of my house for a couple of hours, which is RARE. I knew that if I was at home I wouldn't be able to stop myself, regardless of how man program bothers I called or my sponsor. I had some errands to run so I just did that. Stayed out of my house, though I was triggered, m-ing to porn on the freeway is not a good idea. So I maintained and after the "moment" was over I felt really good for not breaking my reboot. Very long answer to yes...was a good weekend.
Hahahaha I just have this image in my head of someone swerving around like they're drunk. Great to hear that you ran errands to get away from that "moment", definitely something I've been doing a lot lately.
I have m-ed in the car on the freeway but not to porn. It was only out of desperation after trying loud music, windows down, etc. to try to stay awake. So I did "finish" but I guess I was really only in it for the head rush to not drive off the road. But now when I type it I see how stupid it sounds. The escort I hired a couple of days later, there was no excuse for that.
Sorry if I came off as a bit brash, didn't realise how much desperation would affect oneself. Just popped back here to admit that I screwed up today and relapsed... almost up to 2 weeks but damn
