Giving up..

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, May 2, 2017.

  1. Hey guys..

    I think I'm gonna call it. I had a 23 day streak and then I PMOd. Then I've had like 3-4 relapses since all lasting 1-3 days. I just had one to a fucking insta thing. Nothing is working, I'm gonna see if there's any new things to do, I feel I've done them all. I can't even quit this addiction.. Thank you for all your support, I really appreciate it. Gonna try to cut back on PMO at least. Thanks guys

    I would say don't do it. Remember why you came here. There's only temporary relief in giving up a fight.

    That being said, it's your decision. I wouldn't think less of anyone for giving up, I have doubts all the time.

    I thought you said you were serious. You can't give up now.
     
  5. 1-3 days... Before all this were you PMOing daily? Don't discount the progress you make by just trying. As long as you're trying, your progressing. You're better than this addiction. Keep striving my bro :)

  7. Ahaha thank you! I'm not giving up, just felt hopeless after I relapsed. I need to beat this and I will. I got a test so studying can take my mind off of things for the meantime

    For myself after relaps after relaps, i started to learn my triggers and get real. I blocked all porn, dating aps, twitter, and my instagram turns off 8pm. And all internet access off 10pm. I also stopped all dating during my reboot. I have an alarm on my phone at 10pm that says go home go to sleep. I also stopped going to clubs, concerts, bars, events where i just hit on girls and then end up getting trigered and going home and fapping.. so i took myself out of the game.
    The results? The most time I have ever had my entire life, over 4 months now. I have tones of energy. Things dont bug me as much at all. My focus is turning toward my carreer and earning instead of finding girls. I feel like im waking up to being a true man. I need way less sleep and wake up with tons of energy and no hangover. My sense of smell has increased 10fold. I see the solutions to problems way quicker as my mind is clear. Lots of fears and anxieties are melting away.
    In the end, i just had to changs everthing and my entire lifestyle and I was given the keys to the kingdom.

    Learn from every slip. What was the trigger that led up to it? What can you do next time to prevent youself being in that head space in the future? For me i had to cut out energy drinks and being up late.. as they lowered my defenses and led to fapping. Find your triggers and stop those.

    Hey man I know this is pretty much a 2 year late reply, although I'm here to suggest that you don't give up. The first year sucks, I've got to be honest with you. I've now been doing NoFap for about 7 years and my longest streak without any slip-ups whatsoever was 2.5 years.

    I've had plenty of relapses or slip-ups, especially the first 2 years. After a while though your brain starts to get the message. The urges started going away within 6 months to a year for me personally. Just gotta ride it through and remind yourself why you're doing it. Are you really going to let this world kick you down or are you going to take control of your own brain and body? You're the master don't let this beat you, you've got this man.

    I’m at beginning of six months now and I have no MO urges but the idea of at least watching porn is still there for me. I can’t get the images out and almost like an OCD thing now for me. I imagine it will take a a few more months to get rid of the fantasy we like to create with these images as well..
