    Been doing this now for 7 days and feeling amazing. Used to wake up (after a good 8-9 hours sleep) feeling lethargic, sometimes unwell, no motivation, but now every day I wake up full of energy and looking forward to the day ahead. Love looking at my NF Companion counter and definitely don't want to reset that. Have had mild urges I'll be honest, but instead of logging into my favoured P website I come here and get some amazing advice and read some of the forums. Then withing 10-15 mins the craving has gone :) So glad I started doing this again, makes me really wonder why I needed P in the first place. A lot of it I wasn't even horny at the time, it was just because I had the house to myself or time to kill. Making much better use of my time now and feeling so much better in body and mind because of it. Definitely going to keep coming on here as it's invaluable for advice and guidance. And the NF Companion app is just the nuts!!! All you fellas stay strong and sending you all massive positive vibes :cool:

    Great stuff Ben, you're doing awesome! I was and am in the same boat as you. House to myself, boredom = P. I'm on seventh day myself and getting a few urges but it's controllable. Getting tired/energetic days at random. Big love to ya mate, best of luck and congrats. NoFap Feb crew in the house.

    Yep, nothing kills cravings better than lurking around on these forums.

    EDIT: Just downloaded the companion app. This is brilliant.

    Yeah dude don't know how I'd be getting by without the companion app. Just seeing that counter is such a mental incentive as you don't want to see it at zero again! And I like the whole journal bit, I use it to write down when I feel urges or when I feel great. So many great features, best app I've got at the moment ;)

    I really dig the Badges, it's cool to know that I'm nearly one of only 218 people in the world to reach day 10, even though that number is totally inaccurate unless you quadruple the numbers since not everyone uses the app.

    But it's cool :D

    I congratulate you on 7 days,
    however I do want to give a reality check. After 7 or so days it is very common among pmo addicts, myself included, to experience a temporary honeymoon phase, where you feel a lot better than normal. If you notice these benefits fade after a while and you begin to feel worse don't be discouraged. Its all part of the recovery process.

    Feel free to ask me questions,

    I wish you a successful recovery,
    Mateo

    "Don't get too excited when things go right; don't get too upset when things go wrong."

    "This too shall pass."

    These quotes helped me tremendously through this journey of nofap and also through the journey of life. All the best!

    Hey Ben, yeah I did relapse yesterday. I've been dealing with such incredibly low motivation that I've been getting super depressed. I can never seem to get around to doing my art. It was such a low point that I MO'd, and the chaser effect got me and I PMO'd.

    12 days of NoFap uncovered the depression I've been dealing with underneath for 15 years and never admitted to myself or anyone. I'm happy about that and I'm joining some groups and talking to a lot of people about it. I'm certain I'll stay addicted to P if I don't address this core self esteem issue, so facing that is my focus at the moment.

    Though it's hard not to feel shame about relapsing.

    See reboot as a process rather than just success or failure. It's about learning from every relapse and avoiding repeating same mistakes again in future. Do you write a journal everyday? Do you workout/run even if you don't feel like doing it? Do you use a porn blocker? Do you have a plan about what to do when things get bad and start getting out of control? Pondering upon these things can help one make some good progress. Good luck!

    Hey man that sounds pretty awful, really feel for you at the moment. Dealing with your depression as well as trying to quit P and M. It's good to hear that you're talking to people and joing some groups and I definitely think getting back into your art will be a big positive in your life. At least you've admitted that you have a problem with P and that you're willing to do something about it. Definitely keep coming back on here and writing posts about how you feel as well as browsing the forums for advice when you feel low. chin up my man, and sending you massive positive vibes!!!
