I will never again masturbate

Great look on this. With this motivation, I know you are capable of doing this. Just push on and you will defeat this addiction.
Good luck!

 

I think I speak for everyone when I say how excited we are for you. I'm 40 ... and I wish I'd understood the significance and damage of PMO when I was your age. You truly have your entire life ahead of you. I'm jealous!

 

Don't depend so much on having a perfect "streak" for the rest of your life. I can almost guarantee you'll eventually relapse, but the point is you will need a firm foundation even when that happens. Trust me, I've been through similar things many times in the past. Perfection isn't possible, but you can use this milestone to start the hard work of building a new lifestyle for yourself. I do wish you best of luck on getting some long periods of abstinence in though, they really do help you to believe in yourself.

 

I admire your enthusiasm.

I am not really jealous. I had my own very individual learning process with all the ups and downs and I am grateful for it.
There is a fine line between being addicted to M and not being addicted to M.
I can imagine time will come when M is just a possibility loving myself and there is nothing wrong with it. Appreciating my life itself is what matters. And first step of appreciating is to accept myself with all my strength and weakness.

 

I can appreciate that. I know a lot of people who say something similar.

For me, I can't shake the fact that there were many people who were deeply hurt by my addiction. My addiction only started with porn. It progressed to casual sex from internet personals, hookup sites, etc. Today I've slept with over 250 women. I was repeatedly unfaithful to my wife of nearly 6 years, who is literally the best person I've ever known. We're divorced now, but still love one another unconditionally.

Did I learn a lot about myself through this process? Undeniably. But the costs were unbelievably severe. If I could go back and make different decisions, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Those 'exciting' sexual experiences that I thought would bring me real fulfillment never brought me anything but pain and emptiness.

 

Thanks. Your words are an inspiration to me. My experiences were quite different. Only had very few dates with women and as a bi-sexual man had also some few dates with men. In the twenties, when most men marry, I were on some spiritual path, lived for 2 years in an ashram and one of the rules was "No Sex". And "No sex" was no sex.

Well, shows me that we all have our own way to find the true happiness. I wish for the young guys not to waste too much time, to make efforts in the right direction. I want to respect other people and I have to respect myself. I don't need the experience of drugs because I know the real joy is deep inside my heart. And the more I discover the inner beauty I see the beauty in people around me. Of course we all have our differences, different opinions, different habits - but we should focus on what we have in common, and this is much more than the differences. We all have a heart which is longing for true love. And this love is not outside, it's inside.

 

This has to be deeper than the flesh. And when you dig down to the core you won't be proclaiming something like this.

 

Bubs I hope you didn't take that the wrong way.

Sometimes people say far too little leaving too much to the imagination.

You damn sure gonna wanna kno I want freedom from this vice grip noose of 'batin too son!

Just making a pledge like this however without strategy and long-term commitment is not how to bring it about as tangible results.

Generally people don't overcome something this deeply ingrained in one go.

But fear not.

Even if it is again and again and again and again let your MOTHERFUCKING COSMOS BURN AND RISE LIKE THE NORTHSTAR EACH TIME YOU FALL!

 

Dammit man where is my Samurai Spirit and Saiyan Furyo State of Mind manners and etiquette.

I generally do not swear in public, so pardon the mfbomb.

 

Good thing you are in to nofap so young , wish I had found it long ago. I really think it is a good thing that you have decided never to masturbate again. My personal record was about 188 days of hard mode. Slipped up in between went into a binge cycle for almost a month and have started a new streak. I too thought that I am never going to fap again in my lyf. But I failed. I am here to help you not fall into the trap like I did. No mater how great your streak is don't ever get too confident about it . Our minds are a sneaky lil bastards they know when to attack us with the urges. you have to be aware of your thoughts and temptations. take everyday cold showers , start meditating, If you feel like an urge is too strong , Instead of thinking about what to do about it simply take a deep breath, sit down and feel the urge without any kind of judgement in your mind, never resist the urge, do not fight it. simply let it pass and don't do any thing about it. still if it is impossible to control run to the bathroom and run some ice cold water in and around your genitals , It always seems to do the trick. Wish you success. Take care man . Peace.

 

Gr8 work buddy ....
I am noob here...its my struggling time.
your story inspire me a lot.
keep posting
Happy NoFap

 

Oh boy. I may have gotten too riled up here and spoke too much for the imagination.



By vice grip noose I meant the chokehold PMO takes on my life figuratively speaking when I act out on immediate gratification or escape painfuk emotions.

Although I was incorporating something different for my own demise these last few slips...wait no sense dwelling on the past here. Focus on now! Just for today I say!

So no not a noose like this literally,

Sarah Jessica Parker in Hocus Pocus for gay males and straight females only but it ain't exploitation or sexualization,

Spoiler

Sorry.

Wish everyone the best in their quest for peace and happiness and success.

 

My good man, you are not starting to become a man, you have just ended this process and are a man right now. Life will throw its challenge and obstacles on you just like on anyone else, and you will pay the consequences for your decisions and actions, just like anyone else.

Ba a man starting today, do not fool yourself that you have more time to learn on what being a man means. Start setting and achieving goals like any other man - it is your birthright.
