    Since joining nofap last year its been easier to stop objectifying people. I started nofap when i realised my addiction was changing who i was, and things i used to thing were wrong ive stopped finding wrong. Ive improved quite a bit, but im about 6 days into reboot again and All these thoughts are coming back. Fantasizing when i see someone attractive, feeling like jumping off the deep end and doing something wrong. Thankfully i have never cheated but my inhibitions were so low at one point i may have if i didnt get the addiction under control. Wanting to act out what i saw in porn and things like that. Anyways, is this just because of where i am in my reboot? How can i stop the desires to do bad things? How do i get a normal healthy mind back when it comes to sex and desires? Im sick of all the unwanted thinking and urges and feelings.

    Note that ive been desperate and depressed the last few weeks. Doing things that are out of character like drinking heavily and thinking about taking illegal drugs and its very unusual. I used to be "the good kid" and i was happy with that. I avoided a lot of pain and trouble teens get into because of this, but i am suddenly feeling the urge to do just about anything bad.

    You are trying to stop P addiction.
    The brain wants a rush from something so it starts to go elsewhere in the realm of bad stuff. Drugs alcohol, whatever it can get a buzz from.

    Listen my good friend. You have to stand above the urge, easier said than done, but as long as you remember that you are better than it fundamentally. It will allow you to get away from the urge more easily through doing something interesting or taking a walk or anything.

    I find wearing a band or bracelet around my wrist and giving it a tug or gentle snap when I start fantasizing brings my attention back to the moment. Good luck.

  7. no your not gonna do any thing bad my friend, your just gonna change back into the good person you really are. and always have been.
    I worry more after I stop pmo then when I am doing it, I get anxious when I stop pmo I don't know why, but I am done with it. I know, it's really hard after several days, darned if you do, darned if you don't. so lets just don't! we can stop fantasizing and for starters not act on it.!!! I am taking measures to stop it also, but there are always more triggers. so I guess it is about learning the new triggers to.

    I was heavily into my PMO addiction. I was a PMO early morning AND late night kind of guy. It was BAD how deep I was into it. I had BAD thoughts about what/who I saw around me...

    It was only a few months ago, I wondered if there ever would be a turning point. Even the ads I saw the mall or TV were triggering for me.

    I decided to go hard mode and remove every p-sub I possibly could find from my Snapchat and Instagram (and I was someone who used those as p-subs A LOT). I found myself having a lot of spare time. I worked out like crazy, and made that my new addition. I can now do 5 pullups at a time, HOWBOWDAH?!! (sorry I had to in light of that meme) Anyways, I cannot go one day without doing 20-30 minutes of working out. Even if I couldn't make it to the gym, I would do 100 pushups in my room.

    Eventually, I found that I did rewire my brain. I no longer look at women in dirty ways. I even got better at building up my confidence and meeting them.

    I know it can be a tough. I have relapsed so many times even when I saw I wouldn't.... since starting NF back in November 2016, here are my streaks... 49, 5, 2, 8, 46, 1, 1, 3, 57, 20, 45, 7, 7, 14, 25 (and counting). The relapses FRIGGIN HURT! There was a point where I pmo-ed every day after a relapse, I thought I was on the verge of going back to my old ways. I felt like I was going cold turkey, and I was literally shaking when with strong urges.

    NEVER GIVE UP! Once you you get a good amount of it out of your system, you will be on your way. I am doing better than ever before, even though I clearly have a lot of work to do, given my last relapse 25 days ago...

    Give yourself credit where credit is due. You have racked up a lot of pmo-free streaks. As someone who was a pmo early morning AND late at night guy, the hardest was literally making it past the first 1-2 weeks. I swear, those are the hardest to get through.

    "If you're going through hell, keep going!"
