At some point you have to learn how to be still and control the urges. Now your just running away from them.
I will, I will get through day 4 no matter what. I'm also on day 4, based on today and day 2, it seems the urges are the strongest from morning untill around 3 pm. Day 3 felt quite easy but I it's like I get an electric shock whenever I encounter random women walking by.
Da Vinci never used porn. You can't really compare. Someone like Nikolas Tesla, they never had to deal with full on addiction to something as primal as sexual desires. Or they did, but not to this extent. They haven't fapped their entire youth away watching thousands of pornstars... Because they couldn't have done that with their technology. Porn overstimulates the brain. They never did that. Were fighting much harder uphill battle here. To become a saint from a creepiest of the creep, not exactly the easiest of things. Well, I actually have stopped sitting while in front of the computer. It helps with the urges, it's harder to get erection when blood is flowing to the legs. Also, since I'm using computer like 12 hours a day, standing 80% of that time is little factor that changes completely back posture and leg muscles
Rebooting hurts. It's supposed to hurt. You are rewriring your dick and brain. The pain and urges get bad. We have nobody to blame but ourselves. This is the payback.
Yeah, well, blood circulates through the mind too, one actually thinks better while walking, so this does help a lot in that context too. Physical health is interlinked with mental health.
My worst side effects have been headaches and really strong urges. I haven't flatlined at all. My sex drive is great. Mine is more medication induced ED than porn. Antidepressants. Adding even a little porn magnifies the problem.
I didn't forget, that's why I asked. Let's keep each other updated, it's also good for motivation. This site has saved me on plenty occassions just this past week. Congrats, keep it up and you'll become happier and more free. Wish all of us the best.
My biggest problem is work. A guy is on medical leave so I'm working evenings. Way too much free time. When I worked days, I'd get home, relax a bit & head to the gym. Really struggling but I'm on day 5.
Right now 10AM at Day 5. I feel no urges whatsoever, I feel a deep inner peace and a sense of calmness yet I feel a force behind me. This is great, fucking amazing, much better than porn and masturbation.
I've been struggling ever since I made that stupid comment of mine above this one. I'm experiencing a non-stop assault of my urges telling me to do it. I have done everything I can but I am seriously on the verge. It's currently 5PM, if this feeling doesn't subside soon I don't know.
Visiting here helps. I almost quit on day 5 but came here & was determined to get through it. One day at a time. Right now, I can't imagine making it 90 days but I can imagine making it until tomorrow.
I was in the library practicing for an upcoming exam and had trouble concentrating. As stated before, this has made me less productive thus far. Is there anyway to rewire your brain faster?
Honestly I'm the same with studying, got some reports I need to do and I think that because it's stressful and I can't be bothered with it I end up getting urges to fap. This is just my mind trying to distract me from the stress that comes with studying. The fact that you're in a library is a good thing though cause I doubt you gonna whip it out and have a fap lol just tough it out whilst you do your studying and when you're done, try to do something more active. I find being active is the best distraction. Only to avoid images and porn and try abstain from fantasizing, apart from that only time will heal you.
I get urges to use the public restrooms which I have done it in before so it's not exactly helping that I'm in a library. I guess I'll have to find ways to stay active.
Remember how you feel when you relapse. Is it really worth it or would you rather hit your NoFap goal and feel like you can accomplish anything? Stay out of the damn toilets, even if you gotta pee, use a bottle or something or pee in a plant
