Hello, I'm new to this forum. I'm 25 years-old, and I used to struggle with addiction to pornography since I was 12. Though I don't have a streak/count of consecutive days "clean" to show you, I can easily say for myself that I am no longer addicted to PMO. It used to be the first thing I'd do...

Any musical recommendations on lyrics from artists that speak to you and addiction or society in general? I've been listening to some Macklemore & Ryan Lewis songs lately and I forgot how powerful some of his lyrics are (usually relating to addiction and/or society at large). Amazing how such...

You are browsing through a youtube video, and a sudden impulse arise, out of the blue. Its like you need to come alive, the body grips, the mind slips and you 'curiously' just want to 'check' that one x video, just to see it. This one doesn't count. I'll just watch it and get back to what I was...

Hello! I have only just discovered NoFap a couple of days ago, and have realised that I may have a mild porn addiction, and that it may be quite significantly contributing to my day to day problems in life. I'm 25 years old, and I have a girlfriend whom I love and respect very much, and has...

Have you ever felt like you are stuck in a deadlock and looking for way out but can´t find none? Would you ascribe this rather to external factors than things within your control? Then the following is probably what you need to read. Check it out. Once I was playing cards with some friends...

So as far as the title for this thread goes. I am wondering if it is even possible to unlock you're Hidden Potential. This relates to a Japanese animation called DragonballZ as achieving a sense of heightened awareness and limited energy. I'm not sure how to describe it more.. I guess it is...

Hi All, I'm 23 years old guy. I started masturbating from very early age (since 10 year old kid) without knowing about masturbation. The craving for that feeling made me an addict to Masturbation. I got introduced to porn during my early college days and i literally became a slave towards PMO...

Hello Everyone. This actually the first challenge I am posting, feel free to give it a try. I am doing a 7 day Chakra healing challenge including no PMO all together. I am fallowing a Youtube channel called Meditative Mind that has various Chakra Healing camp meditation videos. Each day we'll be...

Hello, Although I have only recently joined the "NoFap" community, I have decided to create this post. In view of many articles and viewpoints, and the claims, stories, and victories of users on this site, I have been informed greatly on the subject. Throughout my abstinence, I have forgotten...

Hey guys! I haven't posted in a long time so it's nice to see you all again. A few weeks ago I went to a student council meeting (I'm on the council) and I wanted to address porn addiction/ the dangers of porn. I had written a bunch of notes beforehand with facts and insights. I got in and my...

Hi guys, this question popped into my head and I think it's important for many of us. I have noticed that some of my most powerful triggers are my emotions. Sadness kills my motivation, makes me feel meaningless and gives me an emergency exit. Anger makes me go closer to my demons and porn is...

So I've been thinking about this for a while and talked to a couple of friends about it... Since in my college, I'm a representative of my course and I'm on the student council I thought I could raise the awareness of porn addiction and spread the word about the dangers of porn. But I don't...

Hello there rebooters. I just wanted to share this method of "fighting urges". It has worked wonders for me, and for several other people here on Nofap. When you face an urge, a negative thought, or a heavy emotion, you don't want to let it wash all over you and take you away. What is needed...

Hi, I've been a distant admirer of nofap for awhile. Now ready to take things seriously. I'm in a serious loving relationship of a year and a half. During that time pornography did not control my life and I was able to focus on my goals. My gf does shift work 8 days on 6 days off now and I've...

Short update from yesterday and today. Yesterday i was feeling very irritated and my wife noticed. I told her i was having man-ustration this month xD. It was nice to laugh at it and it kinda made me aware of how deep this is affecting on a deeper level. It boosted my motivation to quit P for...

I think the key to a succesful reboot is to change the idea of what pleasure/reward is. Let me explain my thinking, bear with me. I think ultimately, what is required of us is to balance the short-term/long-term reward system. We have to focus much more on the long term rewards. This is not as...

Hey Guys, this is Tobi & I want to share with you a technique that ensures to not relapse over and over again - just because you relapsed one time. This thread is obviously not for everyone on this journey, but I see it ALL THE TIME. People relapse and feel extremely bad afterwards. Blaming...

Hi all, I'm now 45 days away from watching porn and masturbating. I have touched my penis a few times. Naturally after watching porn for 15 years, the cravings are still there and I've been hard many times during the days. But I have done no masturbation. As I'm in a healthy sexual...

How I made it to 100+ days twice. Hello everybody, I posted a few success stories here, but this time I want to make a different approach. I want to share my best ways how to avoid a reset/relapse. I also avoided the words 'you' and 'we' and decided to write this in first person, cause I...

Hello!!! Im excited! I have gone three weeks of PMO. 5 mins of P and E on day 12 and 2 mins of P on day 17. I didn't count them as a relapse as i didn't get too far into it and I could forgive myself. It took my own strength and will to quit it then so i think I'll box that as willpower...

In the red circle we put the sexual behaviors we want to abstain from, the ones we consider “acting out.” These are the behaviors that we identify as addictive, harmful, or unacceptable for us. In the yellow circle we put behaviors that may lead to acting out, like triggers, or that we are not...
