What motivated you to quit PMO??

I´ve been searching for new habits to improve myself in overall, before that I did pmo daylie without feeling bad or shamy about it, just you know, a normal thing you just do while you don´t have a gf around.

Then I found a YouTube video about NoFap and the benefits that come along with it and I thought "I get benefits for 0 time investment, I have to try it out"
After 1 day already I just felt, ok not that easy as I thought but let´s keep going I guess.

I had some real trouble crossing day 4, I did turn off picture loading on my browser and started to use web filters, also for social media and also just that SOLUTION to have it easier during reboot just made me notice how impactfull pictures on the internet are, so irritating, so manipulating especially on YouTube, so I did eleminate a big problem there as well + another big time safer cause I did stop watching random YouTube videos.
Finally then I did cross day 4 and day 5 was an amazing day, I felt the energy, I´ve been happy for no particular reason, day 6 then was like day 5 but amplified, extreme energy, I´ve been so creative then (as a music composer the best benefit from NoFap) had cool conversations, I had more eye contact, confidence did rise, all that cool stuff.

I really focus myself and my feelings during times when I add a new habit or start something new to check out improvements and differences, for some people there might be no changes at all after 6 days because they are not that aware about theirselves, but that day 6 was so amazing that I wanna go full NoFap, I don´t need that 90 day challenge or 365, I want these benefits for the rest of my life and I am super excited how I gonna change on the upcoming days.

 

Well it always felt wrong, but pushed me to finally suit was PIED

My own body language

 

I felt like a slave in my own body, that's why I've chosen to make this step, simple as that

 

Last time I was fapping, what I felt inside me was that I'm not having the same dopamine anymore. My own body language woke up and gave me the feeling of not needing to fap anymore. Ex: It has told me that it's time to stop. So, I let the urge die out. It is how it is.

 

Getting rid of the social anxiety & the self hate PMO caused. It made me a slave.

 

did it help?

 

Yes, it helped like crazy. My behaviours totally changed. I'm confident in most situations & my happiness is on another level. Now I'm able to grow in every way and not running in a circle anymore. I can take responsibility for myself.

If you want to know more you can read my success story here, how "only" 60 days effected me. It's been quite a while and i managed to keep this streak up to 147 days and the effects i experienced then were probably 3 times stronger.

 

PMO turned me into a shitty person. I didn't want to be a shitty person anymore.

 

I just found I was PMOing when I was bored rather than when I was just horny. It was wasting a lot of my time and time I thought could be much better spent. I used every time I was home alone as a time to watch porn and that's the first thing I would think of when I knew I was going to have the house to myself. Very sad and selfish so thought "Right that's it, no more" Done 15 days and feel tons better for it!
