Hey all, any advice on how to focus at work? I’m not PMOing anymore but I’m just slacking off way more than I should. I know it’s going to come back to bite me later. Any advice? Thanks

started to take NoFap a lot more seriously back in novermber, have had some good streaks but also some relapses. the biggest concern i have regarding my PMO addiction is the brain fog / lack of cognitive function ive been under. been watching porn as a habit since i was 15 years old, and have...

Another year, an eclipse before me. And here I am again, doing all of the things I chose to do this year, yet failing all the same. Some parts of me hate myself for it, some parts are just quiet, and some parts just don't care as long as it is easy. I think I lost the part where I was angry and...

Hey, I am a 27 year old male who has been addicted to pornography for the last 12 years. It pains me so much that this addiction has become way more compulsive than it was. Unfortunately now I do it even though I sometimes hate it. However, this was not what prompted me to do post this...

hello... i'm having a hard time focusing at work... it's a boring programming job. i'm grateful that i have it but only when i go back home. it's pretty boring and uninteresting. could it be because i'm on withdrawal from porn/masturbation? it's not that it's not intellectually not challenging...

Hi guys. Just turned 22. Been dealing with both porn and maturbation since high school. Multiple relapses for everytime I tried to quit but know I want to go all out because this is stopping me from doing what I wanna do. I want to talk to girls without having anxiety in my speech. I want to...

You know through the years I've done and created many different things, and while they were fun to do and make, nothing really seems to 'stick'. I've done all kinds of stuff and had many interests. The weird thing is, I feel like I could be succesful with any topics, but I never really stick...

An Online Tool that has Helped me to Focus on Tasks! I have been off PMO for a little other a month now. That means I am one third of the way through my reboot. I am so excited! In the early days, I found it extremely hard to focus on tasks. I found myself drifting and wasting time on social...

I, based on personal experience, have come to the idea, that the reason people use drugs, and other methods of addiction in order to feel good, is because that high they get is not exactly a high. Rather that high is more of an expression of our natural state of being. I follow Sadhguru, and I...

Hi, I have been unable to read, or concentrate on a subject, an article, a book, for more than say 15 minutes. I have been on one to five days streak, no more, and it has been very difficult to just focus. I don't do any sport since end of October, I don't eat a lot and I've stopped video games...

I'm currently on 3 days of nofap. I've had streaks of 30 days, but for whatever reason, I broke them off. However, right now I stayed up all night because I could not sleep and I had insane focus the day before. What I do not understand is why I am feeling insane focus on just 2 days of nofap...

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...

I am on my 42nd day and currently in my flatline. No urges though and thats a good thing, I guess. I got my flatline at 26th day and starting it was pretty rough as sleeping became boring for me. Though, some mediation and dopamine fast techniques I was able to do my work but from last 6-7 days...

Hey, I'm 21 years old and rather addicted searching for not yet seen porn, rather than plain watching porn for the sake of watching and masturbating. I developed a not too usual fetish (but also not a hardly probable, seldom one) in childhood. I'm not trying to get rid of it anymore, as...

I found a new mindset to overcome my PMO addiction dude. It is surprisingly interesting. It is all about focus. Focus on building the new you not on fighting the old. Don't focus on ''I will never PMO/relapse again'' If you keep that mindset you will eventually relapse. Here is a video that...

so while I am on Day zero still, my musings on mindfulness and the power of PMO to distract, self-sooth, self-numb. At the core of every one of our PMO practices no matter how diverse, perverse, frequent or just strange is the drive to distract ourselves: distraction from whatever it is that...

Last year I gave NoFap a serious try. I'm done with NoFap for now and I'm not inclined to go back to NoFap anytime soon. What brings me here today is pure curiosity.

Just had a disagreement with my partner and my first thought is to turn to porn. Why is that? Am I trying to punish him? Am I trying to make myself feel better? Thank fuck for nofap. Every time I get an urge, I turn to nofap instead, sometimes hit the panic button, but reading about others'...

Driving 90 minutes to hook up with a stranger. Calling off work early to hook up with a fwb. Rescheduling meetings so I can continue on my "favorite" websites. Lying to my significant other so I can leave in the middle of the night. I am sick of it all. PMO feels as if it has a stranglehold on...
