    Whether or not I was a porn/fapping addict I really don't care. Whether you're an addict or not, porn and excessive fapping can do a lot of damage.

    The message I want to get across, mainly, is that you do not need to go on a perfect streak for years to get better. If you go on a 35+ day streak, and then fap, that's not a good thing, but you have still made progress!!!

    My advice - DO NOT CONTINUE THE PMO COUNTERS AFTER 90 DAYS. Way too many guys think that once they relapse you are basically in the same spot you were when you started, and this is extremely unhelpful and just wrong! You went from fapping every day to fapping once every blue moon. That is progress! It's not perfect, but progress!! I'm not saying go ahead and fap if you haven't done it in a while, but don't beat yourself up if you fail every now and then.

    I started NoFap at the beginning of August last year. I was suffering from existential depression (Ahedonia - Inability to gain pleasure from anything, apart from orgasm), massive anxiety, sometimes panic attacks, inability to concentrate.

    Since August I haven't had a perfect streak. I have fapped 6 times, and have sometimes watched porn out of curiosity to see how it would effect me. When I fapped it was either just fapping or fapping to p-subs.

    Below I will put a score out of 10 for the severity of my symptoms in August 2015, and now in Jun 2016.

    August - (Up until this point, I was fapping around 10-12 times a week, taking one day off, and fapping 3-4 times in rapid succession the day after. I was watching porn for at least 30 mins most days).

    Depression - 9/10
    Anxiety 10/10
    Attention issues - 9/10

    June -

    Depression - 4/10
    Anxiety - 5/10
    Attention issues - 5/10

    So not perfect, and the issues are largely down to my genetics, but the severity of them has decreased massively since starting NoFap.

    I've gone from fapping several times a week, to going months without fapping at all and watching no porn at all. That's not a perfect streak, but it's definitely progress.
