discipline

Alright, so I'm posting here today because I've been stewing in this for a while, and I need an outside perspective, some wisdom, maybe just some solidarity. I've been on this journey for 15 years now, a damn long time, and I feel like I've told myself every story in the book about managing this...

Was watching a video on YouTube & the guy said “if you look at life like a chess board, you’d rarely see that the best move is to jerk off.” Those words struck something in me & I realized I have to treat my life like chess. I love the game of chess & the analogy was something I could relate to...

Hey everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. I’ve spent a lot of time struggling with commitment, constantly hitting the wall after a week or two. For a long time, I felt like I was failing alone. But lately, through serious mental pushing, consistent practice, and connecting with a strong...

What's up NoFap fam,Just wanted to drop in and chat about something that's been on my mind during this NoFap journey of mine. I'm bisexual, and let me tell you, it adds an extra layer of complexity to the whole experience! I've noticed that I can get turned on by all sorts of things – from gym...

I keep procrastinating and I hate it how do I deal with this

It's been more humid than usual in my part of the world. As a result, there's been an uptick in nuisance flies. I searched for ways to get rid of them and I came across an article which provided a recipe of sorts, ingredients to be mixed into a substance that will attract and ultimately trap...

This thread is dedicated to my return to the journey of freeing myself from negative habits associated with my porn use. If you can relate to what I am saying here, any questions or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading! My Past Struggles/History of Current Situation I would...

Been doing simple and sinister by Pavel. (The School of Strength | StrongFirst) Boils down to 10 sets of 10 kettlebell swings and 10 get ups. 6 days a week. I'm going to link this journey to my NoFap spartan journey. Starting weight was 262lb Currently down to 255lb Been going for a week...

I'm madly in love with my new lady. But she lives so far away. We have plans to move in together but it's gonna take some time. Every time I'm lying in bed, my imagination launches into fantasies about her. I am careful not to touch myself, but it goes on for hours. I can't seem to think about...

Hello everyone, I'm Jose, I'm from Lima, Peru, I masturbate from 13-14 years old, This became customary without thinking that it would be something that would affect me today. There were times when I didn't, they were long lapses of time, but I always came back. to the same. It is annoying when...

I've been journaling recently, and the idea of a spiritual discipline has been interesting to me. I wanted to reflect on my self-improvement and my life as a whole. Here are some of the consistent problems in my life. My Spiritual Poisons Hating myself. If I can't have a base level of being...

I first heard about NoFap in 2016. At the time, I didn't think I was addicted to porn. I always thought addiction meant "severe" addiction but addiction really does look different for everyone or perhaps I was just in denial. At the time, I had a door to door job which for some reason I liked...

I've exchanged one addiction for another and now find that I have strong urges to masturbate when I'm sad , angry bored and stressed. sometimes it feels pointless looking for further help. I know the only one who can help me is me. My brain controls my hands and my actions and my thoughts. I...

It seems to me that my own inability to abstain from porn use is basically an impulse control disorder. This is recognised as a kind of disorder by the mental health profession (whereas 'sexual addiction' is not). I'm sure that my repeated return to porn use is due to poor impulse control - in...

Hey fellow soldiers, I hope you all are holding the line and are making progress towards the goal. A short introduction of myself: My name is Max, I am 16 years old, from Italy and my story with nofap started two months ago when I began with dating and my testosterone skyrocketed because of...

WELCOME TO THE 4TH ECHELON RECRUITMENT PROGRAM

Some of my strict rules for a healthy recovery and to build self-discipline... Using social media is a relapse as it releases dopamine (no Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, Twitter) YouTube allowed for educational/work/podcast purposes. Listening to Music is a relapse as it releases heavy amounts...

Okay, the title says it all- i need help. My streaks have been lesser and lesser- i have just started typing this after my third PMO session using (i hate to say this) some hentai. I still remember the streak i used to be on two years ago- 76 days. I want to be on that streak again. Yet i have...

Hello all. I am making this post in order to share my thoughts. Today I relapsed hard again. I find myself feeling weakened by my continual self sabotage. This is due to me having no self control over what I end up watching. Just today I watched a YouTube video containing a cute woman and then I...

My addiction is not just to PMO; rather, I am a dopamine addict. As a student, much of my day is spent studying on the computer, but I notice myself watching YouTube nearly all day (gaming videos, compilation videos, TikToks, pranks, etc), simply skipping between videos and chasing dopamine...

Hello. Iam 16 years old and Iam really depressed now a days. I lay in bed all day and daydream.I overthink a lot too . Now I want to busy in life I wanna focus on my studies and leave my screen addiction. I really want to change myself and learn new skills. Please suggest what could I learn from...

Hello to all, I decided to finally join nofap for a sense of accountability. This is my story, if you're interested. (Its not short) You see, I've been trying to achieve self control in this area of my life since puberty, never fully succeeding but fighting fiercely - I once destroyed all my...

Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I decided to do NoFap and No Porn, because I´m addicted to both. I was almost constantly horny except for the second week. Always when I was horny I had the urge to watch some porn and it took me a lot of discipline to resist against it. After the third week I...

When you see a girl with a big ole ass, what do you do? Do you get overly stimulated and stare as much as you can? Or do you punish youself, saying "shame on me for noticing"? Both of those reactions are unproductive. First, it's obviously wrong to creep. Do NOT go around with the sole intent...

I am not a porn addict. I just watch it occasionally. However, the main area of concern is masturbation. I have been trying to stop it since the past 8 years since the age of 20 that was when I began with it. Before that I never even tried doing it. After that day, life changed completely for...

Last year there was a brief period of time where I was at the peak of my self - discipline. That was also the time that I decided to begin my NoFap journey. I abstained from Porn and Masturbation for more than 90 days. However a few circumstances in November of last year hampered my ability to...

Hello. I would like to tell you my story of beginning with this sort of "Self" Therapy. I truly believe i have the strenght within me to complete this task, and will finally.. after so many failed attempt of quiting my porn addiction, start with living the life that was ment for me. I would love...

Truly nice to meet you all! For me, it all starts with temptations...Even in a non sexual way, I've been giving in to temptation too easily (e.g. sitting & playing games instead of doing school work, waiting till the last second sitting in bed causing me to rush to make the bus, etc.) I want to...

Seems like everyone has their own story on how they quit, but I can’t find what works for me, so maybe I need to ask some of you. I suffer from analysis paralysis. I know a lot about this. I don’t need more info on why it’s bad or how it’s effecting me. I get it. Anxiety, insomnia, depression...

So, from tomorrow I have planned on 3 "3Day Challenges" and will start from 20Nov and end on 28Nov . Nofap on hardmode, meditation and content replacement therapy on forced mode[something I created for myself] will be a constant through out all 3 challenges. In short , first challenge will help...

I keep missing workouts at the gym. My training partner has a hard time waking up early enough for our scheduled workouts. He also burned his hand a week ago. Due to his incapacitation, I haven't hit the weights in a week. I had the thought this morning- why did that stop me from going? The...

Hi, I'm new here. I discovered porn online in late elementary school and masturbation in early middle school. I can only think of a few periods of my life where I consciously avoided porn and masturbation. And that was within the last two years after hearing about NoFap without doing any...

Hi guys, I have been reading and trying without success for years, and finally... Before starting with how nofap is greatly impacting my life, I wanna tell you: On 27 september it will be my 90 days mark, and I will make an "Ask Me Anything" on my youtube channel. So if after reading this post...

I've gone through this for the past three years, and only in the past year have I found any sort of discipline, not just in my fight against this addiction but in all forms of life. I started exercising regularly and taking my hobbies like drawing and music more seriously. Although my latest...

Hi everyone! I’ve decided to finally get my life sorted out, and working through the PMO cycle seems to be the most effective (and affecting) way of doing so. I’ve been a part of NoFap before, but have given up at heart ever since my first relapse at 30 days, during last year’s september. For...

Hello everyone, Firstly I want to thank NoFap and YBOP's people for bringing to the surface the deep problems of high-speed-affordable internet pornography of our times. I'll try to summarize in spite of being a complicated issue -like most of us I guess- my current troubles and trends...

Many people may have heard of the references regarding sexual transmutation. And I am here to tell you that whatever you are struggling with regarding sex addiction you have the power to change where you are now. You have been put on this path because you have been called upon by the...

I`ve been through trouble with lizard for more than a year now!. initially, I hate looking into a lizard (It`s skin, texture, color) looks gross!. Though I managed to overcome a fear of lizards, now I`m able to even closely look at lizards. now the problem is I used to hear the sound of lizard...

Hey guys, As a newcomer, 2 weeks in, I've stayed strong with no relapse and I am definitely changing. My aura is different, I can feel it. People behave differently around me, tons of energy (too much), everything said to happen is happening and I love it. That said, it's really hitting me the...

Be on the offensive Be aware of the disease of victory Sometimes you need to be humbled “School yourself to savagery” Make up your mind on the strategic level and stick to it; on a tactical level, be adaptable in approach Patton’s number one character trait was discipline No sane man is...

A lot of people rely on nofap as the answer to the problem, it's really just the gate way. Nofap gives you a lot of self discipline, always having to tell yourself no, letting your mind conquer your body. This discipline carries to other fields as well like starting a healthy diet or working out...

Never get into a rut Always ask why you are doing something Do not get locked into disadvantageous patterns "Take the high ground or the high ground will take you" Be wary of routine Have a clear aim; pursue it relentlessly War against insurgents is like trying to become better; it is...

I've tried NOFAP multiple times, but this is the farthest I've come. I feel GREAT. My social life has always been OK, but is now at an alltime high. I have so many great friends and I'm going out a lot. I finish more things, I wake up feeling like doing things (wether it's something active or...

Learn how people react Plans should be adaptable according to circumstance Before you make a decision, carefully deliberate When you retreat, all the losses are on you Have humility: ask 'Am I ready?', 'Can I handle this? If not, how can I prepare?' Check yourself Where applicable, have...

Leadership is manipulating towards a positive outcome The best way to win is when your opponent does not even know you won and that there was even a battle Never undertake actions (in your team) that cannot be reversed If you are wrong, look forward to admitting it Do not flaunt your victories...

A quick note for those of you who may be confused as to the randomness of the order I am uploading these podcast notes. I cannot recall what lead me to start at the fourteenth podcast, but I have listened to the ones previous to that in the past. I intend to work up from the first and fill in...

Knowledge of men cannot be learned from books You must understand how your people think and the psychology of the people above you to get ahead You cannot apply the same formula to every situation Words affect different people in different ways When life throws pain at you, sit there and get...

Do not sit stuck in your own brain afraid to ask others for help Knowledge is fine, but it is useless without common sense Don’t be paralysed by thinking and being locked into a way of thinking - be bold, take action One must continually study the possibilities Your opponents will have similar...

Do not neglect the study of war Do not get locked into a plan If your opponent is strong, evade him "He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight "To secure ourselves from defeat is in our own hands" Direct and indirect often lead to each other If you have to do something, kick...

Hi everyone, I just completed my 90 Days of NoPMO and I thought that I'd share my story. Before I dive into my experience and opinion of it, I just want to preface my story to say that one of the main reasons I decided to do this is not because I have anxiety or because I felt like I watched...

Hello everyone! I want to share my thoughts on discipline and purpose with you. In order to be healthy, strong men, we need discipline. Each of us has a different purpose. Regardless of what it is, it drives us to be disciplined. This is because we will do what is necessary to fulfill it. But...

I'm a new user to this site or should I say concept. I'm having very hard time controlling urge to watch porn even though its just been a week since i stopped. Today I was gonna watch some porn but rather I opened this website and clicked the panic button, this is a very shitty button it dose...

Good morning to you all, Been taking some hits from life and PMO recently, so my reading of Seneca has dropped off somewhat; getting back on track, I decided to listen to one of John Willink's podcasts based on the writings of Flavius Vegetius Renatus. I made note of all the key takeaways from...

So, I´m doing nofap for a month and three weeks but unfortunately I´m not having any results. My biggest objective was to improve my confidence and be "the best version of myself". I was never a truly pmo addict. On average, I would masturbate like 2/3 times a week. It could be that. Or it could...

Hey everyone! I’m new here. Basically, I realized that all of my problems stem from a lack of discipline. At first I thought, “If I just fix my sleep schedule, everything will be fine,” but I find that I’m struggling to make myself go to bed at a reasonable time. Then of course, it’ll be...

Good Morning guys! Here is a video to motivate anyone on their NoFap journey. Discipline equals Freedom and if we apply this, we will get so far and improve in our lives in our NoFap journey. Listen to this everyday or when you are tempted. Have a great day!

Hi! This is the first time I ever tried nofap. I don't know if I felt great, but I wasn't fapping. So, that was amazing. I usually wake up before 5:20 AM everyday. But, on one particular day, I decided to sleep in. And, I started dreaming about sex. That's when I relapsed, after 26 days of no...

Im getting a lot more than before but sometimes my productivity wavers in the day. Sometimes its hard for me to stay concentrated on my school work or any kind of work I need to be doing. How do you guys stay productive and discipline and motivate yourselves ? I have one of those whitebpard...

Hello everyone, I've browsed the forums for some time now and just today decided to join the community! Here's the deal: I've been absolutely P free for about 2 months now after a gradual process of reducing the quantity and "quality" I consumed during 2017 and although the temptation and...

Hi folks, Not so long ago I wrote a thread about my idea of trying a progressive approach in crushing PMO, consisting in quitting P and M one at the time focusing on a long period recovery, as cold turkey never really worked for me (u can find original thread here...

Hey everyone, my question is simple. I have been in this for 1 year almost. I did all my reearch. know all my triggers, changed a lot fo things. i also notice a huge progress. but my biggest question still is. How do I create strong will power and discipline on myself to follow the life that i...

I am currently doing the 90 day challenge, and I was thinking the other day how I need to be healthier, exercise more, the things we always tell ourselves to do but never really get around to doing them. But I considered that I'm already changing my PMO habits for 90 days, why not add something...

Hello everyone! New here (well not really, had an account made back in June of last year, shows how much this has been on my mind). Anyway been sort of making the journey alone and it's not working so I figure this is probably going to help a lot. Don't think it's just specifically porn and...

I've been on 10 month streak I feel a lot more confident at peace with myself. I'm really not thirsty for attention or actively pursuing women but if the opportunity strikes I will and I've learned now not to take everything so seriously. But when I go out with friends I always make the mistake...

Are we doing this the right way? Are we removing this mass of shame and pain we call PMO and leaving a vacuum in its wake? Are we trusting circumstances to fill this void for us? I would rather choose what belongs there. FAPSTRONAUTS! What should we put in what was PMO’s place!?

Hi Everybody, I believe that meditation should be a lifestyle (because it helps with nofap) and not just a challenge. Then why take this challenge??? I believe that this challenge will give you some momentum to continue and make it a lifestyle. I believe the mantra"Small success gives you the...

Soive come to see firsthand how, after a week plus of no porn, your brain starts wanting, then insisting then BEGGING for dopamine release. Its not even your dick begging for it, its your brain. Yeah you feel the urge down there to release but its all in your head. Think of your brain as your...

Hi all, I'm completely new here and just posted my first introduction thread. I'm hoping to engage more and really get involved with this, so thought I'd bring up a topic that's been on my mind since I'd decided to put an end to PM. I'm curious to know how disciplined you guys are when it...

I am currently on day 4 of no PMO. I go home and get rock solid hard-ons after work and feel like giving up. One time I've done a little under two weeks no PMO and I drank and ruined my streak. Then after than it's been like 3 days, 4 days, 2 days streak, you get the drift. How do you manage to...

The question sums it all up. Today I was waiting for the train on the platform and saw a very attractive woman passing me by. I won't go into details lest I make anyone on here relapse, but I couldn't get my eyes off her, I was literally standing there watching her as all kinds of...

Well it took me a year to do it and finally here I am to 30 days of no PMO. I think for me the biggest takeaway is that you have to make the decision to quit PMO and take the appropriate actions to do it. I've gone through depression, withdrawls, and relapses just to understand myself and...

Hi guys, since I started last year with PMO :( many parts in my life went poor... . No motivation, no discipline... Do you have some good tips for me? Thank you!"

Hey everyone, Its nice to meet you all. I say this because I have finally chosen to start NoFap. Something even a yesterday I wouldn't have ever thought about doing. I woke up this morning and I wanted to change my life around. I head about this on facebook a few months ago and thought it was a...

Hi everyone. My name is Derrick and I am a 21 year old college student. I have just joined NoFap but have been aware of the community for a year now. Last year I had an awful experience with a nice slim girl where I was able to get her to the bedroom but couldn't get erect. I wasn't sure as to...

I am 22 year old student. I started watching porn around 10 years ago. At such an early age I feel like I wired myself to be able to orgasm only with porn. I am doing this to become a stronger version of myself. Tomorrow it is one month off porn for me. Trying to cut off the bad habits off my...
