NoFap's Official "PMO-Free February 2017"! Continue or start your commitment here.

New here. Gonna try 30 days. No P or M. Who knows-- I might develop an interest in my wife again. I'm 39. I have never made it more than 7 days since I was 11 or 12. Religious reasons play in, but I'm trying to get control of my life in numerous areas, and I think this experiment is worth a try.

 

I'm in too. Hard mode ! I hope for this to last at least 90 days !
My goals are to find other activities even small ones just to keep my head and mind off thinking about PMOing. Also hopefully to have a earlier sleep as I tends to PMO later at night.
I am doing this because I have noticed how addicted I have became and realizing it's a serious problem that many people don't realise. I am suffering depression, low self-confidence, shyness etc and I feel that I need to reboot myself.

 

Just saw this. Lost my streak of 34 days, but that's been my longest in nearly a year. I'm making the remainder of February a PMO-free zone and am journalling daily.

Why? My commitment to myself and my quest for self-improvement, which PMO isn't compatible with. I want to be the best I can be, I want to overcome my lack of confidence in myself and my low self esteem, and I want to improve my prospects of having more money, a better relationship, a more rounded world view, be less stressed and engage in new and exciting activities. I can't achieve any of this by wasting time on PMO.

So here I go.

 

How to set a day counter

 

Count me in. I have set for a 90-days challenge currently. I want to get rid of that silly habit and improve my marks and my social skills.

 

@GeoffUK I had a relapse after my max number 34 days of PMO-free. That's pretty cool. That it's the same amount of days.

 

Today is my 9th day of new life as I started 30.01 in monk mode. I'm 30, MO since my 11, PMO since 20. So its twenty fucking years of misery. I'm bulding new life habits to make old patterns fade away. Not concentrated on counting days but making days count. Life energy is so much priceless to waste it to P and ejaculation so hope for wet dreams if necessary. It will be hard as hell but being mindful and killing urges and fantasies from seed helps in so much way.

 

Thanks!!! Altho I screwed up the no PMO talking to a friends and him seeing my internet history with more than a few p-subs...so it's more like Day 3

 

Hey man you got to start somewhere. Just don't let the relapse pull you in deeper. I know that whenever I relapsed I would go off the deep end and exercise it multiple times in a day and then try to ween myself of again. Terrible cycle to get into nothing but pain, despair, emptiness, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, guilt, paranoia yada yada yada yada and the list of dysfunction goes on. So today is day three, shoot for day four, then five and six. Each day builds your inner being, the beautiful you. Get back on the train @bigbuford !

 

Ok I am in. Already 8 days no porn before joining so off to a good start.

 

I'm in.. I have completed 4 days of nofap. Aiming for 30 days

 

I am in. Fell pretty badly into a relapse. I am committing to the rest of this month and a 90 day reset. NO MORE PMO!

 

Day 39 of my personal best for no PMO. Day 8 of the Feb. challenge. Occasional urges, but the clarity and ALIVE feeling I have begun to have again keep me pressing on. Don't believe the lies your addiction tells you. Be true to your new self and watch your confidence grow one day at a time. I am not alone in this and neither are you.

 

Recommitting myself to being PMO free for the rest of the month after a frustrating relapse on day 7.

 

Day 7 now it's going pretty well.

 

@GeoffUK I have a lot of the same feelings also like stress, low self esteem, lack of confidence, inability to make sound decisions, inability to maintain quality relationships etc. etc. All due to living a double life that we know is not normal. For this reason alone we must embrace the good fight and eliminate the compulsive binge behavior. Take all of those bad feelings that are created from fappin and use it to make the right choice. In the end we have a choice to do it or not we just have to continue to build a good foundation to stand on with honesty and integrity. I we don't get real with ourselves from the get go we usually end up cracking to the dopamine devil. Lets take down February and start getting back to who we used to be before this fantasy sunk it's claws into us.You got this @GeoffUK ! No more stress, anxiety, low self esteem etc. time to be the awesome person you are!

 

Hey Tony Thonglam, I so understand that low self-confidence, depression and shyness. It is a real struggle to deal with at work, home and relationships. Throughout the 30 years of fappin away (I thought was normal) my confidence and true sense of self has been dwindling away year after year. It really sucks! The one thing I do know though is that I am 63 days free of the PMO and I am beginning to gain back some real feelings not fantasy world feelings. As a result my confidence is growing, I make better decisions, I come out of my shell more and communicate with people (used to avoid talking to anyone at all costs). Your right also about the majority of people not realizing the damage that porn and masturbation do to the brain. Tony Thonglam get yourself up and work it one day at a time. Next thing you know you will have February under your belt. Treat yourself to something POSITIVE and continue to work. The more you get under your belt the easier it will become to just say NO to PMO during your 90 day reboot. Take it easy man and stay strong!

 

Just committing once again to a monthly challenge. I had a couple of relapses in January but am doing well in February so far. I just want to make it official. No porn is the main thing, which includes any pursuit of pixellated swimsuit babes. For me, this extends to no masturbation, no sexual fantasy, and no casually checking out women's bodies. Actual sex is totally fine with me though, because that's a big part of my goal. I had a good sex life with a girl I dated recently and it only made me want to get better. That's the ultimate goal--to have a good sex life, most likely with a long-term partner. My experience in long-term relationships has been pretty limited, but I'm 35 and I'm starting to think about the possibility of marriage, so I think I'm looking for something serious. And I want to go into that search as my best self, which definitely means no porn.

I've been keeping an occasional rebooting journal for several months, and I am thinking about getting a weekly accountability partner if it seems like a good idea.

Good luck to everyone else!

 

Well fuck, i fell down so tomorrow is my day 1... I was drunk, sad, and denied by lots of girls and the emotions that came up was something i wasn't ready to handle then with 10 days in. So back on track but now on hard mode because even sex can fuck with your way of thinking and it's just not worth it in the end, because before i relapsed i wanted something serious now just to penetrate for me that's how drastically it fucks with my mental state.

For a whole month i believe we need to stay completely clean from it all. But after that we should chase a great girl and an amazing sexlife. Because the ultimate goal here is to meet someone that you truly like and can have a relationship with and you can't do that in hardmode for the rest of your life.

 

Hang in there JL94. I've been really lonely all day and have been obsessing with ways to meet girls and get back into a good relationship. I had to come to the realization that the very fact I'm so obsessed with this "need" to be with someone should be a red-flag that I'm NOT in a healthy place yet. WE need to get well for ourselves and that takes some time. Be kind to yourself and work from that point of strength building a healthy outlook. Ultimately this will be way more attractive down the road to that right girl. You're not alone. One day at a time.
