freedom

Intro Well, it's finally happened, though once upon a time, I wouldn't even be able to conceive that such an achievement would ever be possible. I wish that I could say that I'm overjoyed at having attained this milestone, but the back-to-school frenzy has left me somewhat exhausted and...

Simply wanting to be free of this dehumanising habit which I started aged 13 and nearly 35 years later still trapped by it. Whilst I have had some months of abstinence at different times, I feel I need to dig deeper to not give up the goal of wanting freedom, peace and purity. That's why I know...

This thread is to gather all the lies we have been told by porn, about porn & for porn. In order for us to help each other not get deceived by porn and all the lies surrounding it. I will share my own lies and illusions about porn and how this affected me so far. Actually those lies are what...

Hi Everyone, I'm expecting this to be a long post so I'll leave a tl;dr at the bottom. I never thought I'd see the day. I am no longer gripped by the addiction of porn and masturbation. I don't have any urge to look and I am happy with my life. I will briefly talk about my story and maybe some...

I began my journey of PMO reboot and recovery 6th December but I relapse after 14th days. I continued again and unfortunately relapse after 6th days. I have made up mind not to give up until I tell my success story of overcoming and total reboot. As I emback on another journey of 90 days I...

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...

I'm going to discuss about the importance of acceptance & surrender and how expectations make you weak & drift. Also, how the sexual energy's potential works in different levels and its link to your greatness.

Almost 3 years free and so blessed for every day. 90 days isn’t a magical cure. You can be free today! You never needed it. It never made you happy. It never satisfied you. It never relieved you from anxiety. It was a crutch that you never needed. Love this community, keep improving your lives...

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...

The last 7-Years have been very trying. My husband and I have experienced an extremely difficult yet blessed 7-year journey in overcoming our abusive childhoods together and the abuse from our family systems that resulted in early porn addiction and trauma for both of us, which our family...

Hello friends!! I constantly would lurk on this EXACT forum, the “SUCCESS stories” so it’s wild that I now am feeling confident to write on here. I have been trying to beat and figure my porn addiction out truthfully for as long as I could remember. Its lead me to feel so insecure about myself...

I’m posting this as more of a journal type thing, mainly just for my own reference to keep my sanity. But I’ve just binged hard, won’t go into details but I’m ashamed of myself. This addiction is the worst thing and I sometimes feel like it’s too powerful for me. I’ve been attempting to...

Hello, I'm new to this community finally I decided to take action, and overcome my addiction that caused me so much trouble mentally and physically! Let's make it together and I'm looking for a friend to abstain with me for 21 days as my first challenge Good Luck to all

You know what's the most frustrating thing about recovery? You make the perfect plan including all the healthy things: meditation, exercise, therapy, nutrition, porn blockers. You follow your plan to perfection. But suddenly, you're stuck alone at home for 1 night, your addiction takes over and...

So TL;DR I've just about had it with 9-5 jobs and want to write online instead. Keen to hear any thoughts or stories! I've recently quit a stressful 9-5 that didn't leave me much time or energy to live my life outside of work. The work/life balance was one thing, but being in a building...

You don’t need to masturbate, you don’t lose anything by not masturbating, you gain more, you can regain your freedom, be in your own hands, what a blessing it is, what a joy to be free from porn and masturbation. Everyone knows that the reason why we reboot is because we once fell into the...

Damn this is a good feeling walking into day 14. Why? Because after this I am in whole new territory. Yes I have been able to develop long streaks 30 plus one 40 plus days but its been well over a year. Let me just say I left my addiction in 2021. 2022 Is going to be the year I defeat this...

There is no benchmark you have to get to to be free from pmo. You aren’t transformed after 90 days. You are free as soon as you choose to be free. And when you do choose to be free, you are doing so because you know deep down that you never needed pmo to get through your problems. It never...

I'm so pissed off at my parents!! I'm learning to code so I can make enough money to move out. I need advice on semen retention and sexual transmutation. I want all the books and videos that you got. I want to use this energy, this rage, this fire to get the hell out of my parents house!!!!

This video sums up why NoFap will save your life!

The lies that kept me hooked to PMO were the following. Perhaps these will help others get free also: "I need sex/PMO to survive." "I need sex/PMO to be cool socially. I don't wanna be an outsider." "Everyone else is getting sex except me. I'm destined to be alone (Victim mindset). "I deserve...

I have been struggling from porn addiction ever since my early teens. I have tried to quit multiple times over the years, only to relapse after a few months of freedom. Someone in a gaming discord server mentioned this place, and I decided it wouldn't hurt to try one more time. I am reading...

Today I have reached 6 months of no PMO. In this post I want to try to explain my motivation. Motivation is the most important aspect in anything. Defeat Your Enemy If you are an addict, then you are currently located under the Pul-e-Sokhta bridge! Oblivious to their surroundings, with sewers...

To understand what I’ve learned in my journey, let me first give an overview of my journey to where I am today. Disclaimer: This is not designed to shock you, this is my true story about the slide into addiction. It’s likely you experienced a lot of the same issues as I did. I am sharing my...

Hey everyone, thanks for letting me be a part of this wonderful community. I was here just like all of you with the motive to fight this new drug "porn". It has done some serious effects on our life. Everybody has strong reasons to quit this that's why everyone of us are here. The reasons are so...

hey Have any of you thought that something is wrong with the world? That it's not going right? That people became excessively toxic and pointless? well that's what I feel everytime I go to school. I don't remember having a good attitude about people. I think that my fellows are just simple...

I was just thinking in my experiences struggling with PMO since i was 12 and got to the conclusion that this problem won't be solved once and for all unless me from inside changed like my thoughts and my ideas about sexuality. i think it's not about PMO abstinence for a period of time but about...

Hello everyone. I need to use internet for work, and I blocked every possible porn site / category. Then, every day I search for my "fix", and at least one new site containing porn is being found, then, PMO. I tried going out in the world, push-ups, some non-computer activities, thinking, a...

lt is not our fault if we fell into PMO. It is the system that wants everyone addicted to something, to be weak and thus easy to control. But often happens some people once they start to hit the road of enlightment they start with those ridiculous speeches about women trying to steal their seed...

Hello Everyone ‍♂️ I'm A 30 Y/0 INFP 3w2 Doing Hard Mode, Currently On Day 15. You Can Catch My Daily Video Posted Progress On Instagram _Pic_My_Life_ or Search Prayer Black. So, I Hear I Hear We Eventually Attract Financial Success With Our Newfound Focus And Drive From NoFap Hard Mode After...

I am so grateful that I lost interest in porn. I don’t want to live a secret life. Porn just leaves me feeling empty. Porn is one-dimensional and boring for me. The women in porn just seem unreal. The focus on penetration and orgasm is so unsexy. Hard-core is purely animalistic, there is no...

I am now 26 years old. I went to rehab for porn and sex addiction when I was 23 years old. There and in 12 steps I got to know so many people who also have that problem. In rehab I was also in group therapy with drug, alcohol and gambling addicts. I was the youngest of them all. Most of the sex...

Hello everyone. Never thought I would be posting a success story. Things were a bit touch and go at the beginning of lock down. I think I have finally put porn away for good. I just feel a lot happier within myself and my family have noticed it too, although they don't know why. The biggest...

Hi people, I’m new here, I want to do a 90 day challenge because I’ve felt in the grip of porn for the last 19 years. I’m 29 now with a beautiful baby son and a beautiful wife but porn and masturbation make her less of a priority in my life. I feel so much shame because I know I can’t control...

Hello NoFap Community, I am 25 years old, and after having immersed myself in porn for more than 17 or 18 years, I have kept breaking my legs on this hedonic treadmill... One day after jerking it for 3 or 4 times in a row, I realized I have a crippling addiction--not just any old porn either. I...

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...

Hi there. As the title says, I am trying to reach 90 days of freedom from this evil and unlock my super sayian powers maybe. Haha. I have been suffering from this addiction for over 13 years now. God help me, for I am going to try to help myself the best I can.

It's been literally 700+ days since I willingly looked at pornography, sure I run into it by friends screwing with me and dudes on ifunny, but do I get a huge urge to indulge myself in some porno websites and fap? No! It's great to not be stuck with pornography, more time to do hobbies I like to...

Welcome to this real challenge, man or woman! TWO simple rules :emoji_point_down: 1) If you relapse - you are out forever from this challenge. :emoji_x: 2) No fighting between us. I don´t wanna to battle with someone and beat him. I want the opposit- for everyone to be the winner of his life...

30 days into my current streak and I feel free :) That is 30 days with no P, no M, no camming, no enlargement exercises, and no more prioritizing my insecurities over my goals. This is my third or fourth reboot that has passed the 30 day mark. Last year I even completed a 90 day reboot. I...

It's been a long ride... tomorrow will be your last day together with me... I know, I know ... you won't be gone completly but... that's okay :) Thank you... for trying to protect me... I know you never wanted to harm me in any way. You were there when I felt alone... Thank you... but you know...

Hey guys you don't need porn really you don't. I am celebrating 50 days since I last masterbated and my life is far more happy now.

One month ago I was really sad and feeling depression. I didn't have hope to be free of this addiction that was consuming my strength and motivation of my life. I didn't have motivation to continue my university and I was lost in myself. I have been struggling with this addiction for years. But...

Hey brothers, hope you're all in good spirit and moving forward on your paths. I'm curious after reading a lot of threads if anyone could please shed some light on the wonderful benefits that can be accompanied with semen retention. I'd like to know what experience ya'll have had with...

Guys I am struggling hard to quit this terrible porn habit. Admittedly, I have tried to quit many many times this past 6 months, yet I always seem to end up relapsing in a moment of passion or justifying going back somehow in my head. (only to massively regret immediately after release) I feel...

I have a 3 days success to communicate! If to you it might not seem much, to me it is indeed. You see every house starts with a building block. Also you cannot arrive at day 100 without day 3. So if you feel discouraged for so little a change, think that smalls steps precede the big ones! Share...

Hello, well this is my second blog here on nofap. This blog is not about me challenging myself or something. I want to improve myself and want to get as much knowledge as possible. So this Journay gets easier and more beautiful. I want to know your storys and also share my with you. I would be...

Hey y'all, I've been hardcore trying to stop for at least a few months now, never getting further than a week or two before relapsing every time. Last week I let myself do a horrible 4-day binge period that left me depressed and anxious, unable to sleep for 48 hours straight. I was really out...

I was scared when I started on the NoFap path. What was I giving up? I knew that it was the right decision, but it felt constraining. Now, I realise that the old way was constraining — porn and masturbation imprisoned me with their incessant daily demands and growing fetishes. After only 31...

So here is what I come up to. So when someone is addicted there are two sides of the addictions one which for no addiction ,for freedom ,love , and living life normal life other one is about addiction and bad habits , using bad substances,living not productive life ,being anti-social and...

Hi everyone, I'm 26 years old and i have a long story fighting against FAP. I tried in different groups in Spain but i didn't overcome the addiction. Recently, I've been 6 months without fapping and was the best period in my life. It ended two weeks ago when in a party i ended with a girl...

Hi everyone! I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this community, and I'm glad to be a part of it now. Good luck to everyone on their journeys! I'll tell my full story someday, but for now, I just want to say that I've been watching porn and masturbating regularly since I was 12 years old. I'm...

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...

Hello! My name is David. A warm hello to everyone. I was a long time lurker and I decided I needed the extra help that comes with membership. Hopefully active membership. I have a lot to read and download. A lot to catch up to. I’m on day 10 of a Reboot. My porn addiction started with my first...

I first discovered porn when I was 10 years old. It gave me that shock and thrill that I’m sure many people on this site are familiar with. It was a little disturbing to me, I can vividly remember sitting at my kitchen table eating breakfast with my parents in silence, the images painfully...

Hmmm,How do I start a thread which begins with such a title?:emoji_confused::emoji_grin:.Well I'll jump straight into it. Without a set purpose to quit porn and without a good stratergy you'll fail.:emoji_100:% Let me elaborate on the first one and the big one, with a story, (20 km = 12.5...

Here we go ! Let's take 25 minutes to write about that first no P experience with you my wonderful fapstronauts ! First of all, thank you to be there and to build that energy. There's something great here. 40 days without any naughty P my friends \o/ For a 40 years old man, without a girl...

Hello all, First of all, I want to say thank you for creating an environment like this. I was introduced to porn when I was in the 3rd grade from a friend. Around 5th grade I figured out what masturbation was. I am now a sophomore in college, and my life has ever since been full of lust and...

This is probably the nth article discussing this, but previously, I counted my days of NoFap. But now, I don't. Why? Because the practice of counting became what I call a "god" in and of itself: I attached my self-worth on the number of days I didn't masturbate, and when I do relapse, I get...

Hey everyone. I’m glad to be a part of this community, and look forward to being free. I am a dad, a professional, and a porn addict. I started masturbating at 13 but didn’t start looking at porn til I was 23, when my wife was pregnant with my first kid. For a brief time from 18-20 I was...

1. For years, I have used P to soothe emotional distress. This is a problem. I "quit" several times with varying degrees of success. But ultimately, I slide back into it when times get tough. Beating this bad habit is essential to my life - physically, mentally, emotionally. 2. Continuing to...

Hello everyone My name's Cory and I'm currently abstaining from porn and masturbation. Porn was something I found at age 13 and developed a relationship with which continued till about 21. I am now 23. Even before I found this site I'd understood the harmful effects of porn and so over about a...

I just reached 90 days PMO-free as of 7:00 PM EST. Though my life is far from perfect, nofap has helped tremendously. I had two final exams today and did fine on both of them. I was PMO'ing at the beginning of the semester and that was affecting my grades. Nofap has definitely helped with that...

Hi there! I'm new in this forum, hoping to find help and support on my journey. I'm almost 40 years old and single. It just has not happened yet with Mr. Right. I found out about masturbation when I was about 14, reading in a magazine for adolescents with a "Love and Sex" section where kids...

Howdy, Fapstronauts. Today I would like to talk about an issue of the nofap community. The counter. There are many prejudges of people because of the counter number. I don't think that is fair, to think something about someone you don't even know, therefore I think the counter/badge doesn't...

Hey fellow fapstronauts. From now on I will post once a day in the Rebooting thread. Generally, I will share with you some thing I've found useful that day, starting with today. I'm not a fan of long posts, because I don't like wasting my time reading and neither yours, so I'm going right to...

Hi Im a fifty-something male who has been a porn and sex addict for about 35 years. I have had an escort habit for about the last 25 years. I have tried specialist therapy, self control, Sex Addicts Anonymous and read numerous books yet still my addiction prevails. I heard about NoFap recently...

Hey friends, I just finished a summer semester and am officially free from studying some two weeks. I am getting urges. It is not like I use to study the whole day, it was only a few dedicated hours so I don't understand why this freedom gives me urges. I relapsed last time due to the same...

Dear Nofap community, DAY 100 - JEDI TRAINING STAGE 2 COMPLETE *MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING LANGUAGE I joined Nofap on April 18 and began my reboot on the same day. I chose to go porn free to improve my social, physical and emotional health and to have more intimate and meaningful PIV with SO. I...

Hey fapbrethren, So, after 60 days of a very intentional reboot, I can finally say that I feel in control of my life and impulses, to the point where I enjoy life without the tyranny of sexual impulses. A few months ago, the idea of walking down the street without thinking about anything sexual...

Today I am on my 126th day PMO Free (I am a sex and p addict). God is with me :emoji_pray: Life is really good. I am starting to appreciate every moment of it :emoji_grinning: You can do it too! Never give up :emoji_v::emoji_raising_hand:

Just wanted to share that I am at 13 days. I am horny as a toad. But my junk is limp like a biscuit. I am always concerned of when I am going to fall. It just feels inevitable. If you pray please say a prayer for me...that I will be courageous in this unseen battle.

Addiction is like a piece of the chain that binds you. In order to win the struggle with your current addiction, you have to work to get rid of the other ones as well. As doing good inspires and pushes you to do more good, so doing bad inspires and pushes you to do more bad. So for example, if...

(I'm a 16 year old male) First off yes it works! It really does I wouldn't recognise the person I used to be and personally hate the 'old' me that person make me laugh every time I think of what an oblivious, dramatic idiot I was who always felt sorry for himself (reasons for this in other...

If I can do this so can you. I was looking at porn for 15+ years. What it has taken to get free is a daily plan. I get out of bed every morning with a mission to accomplish in life. I invest daily in becoming a better man. The type of man that "does not look at porn". And that is what I have...

102 days of kicking ass porn and masturbation free! I feel amazing. Stronger, more focused, healthier, and more confident. The combination of all of the success I am experiencing has created a healthier state-of-being than I have undergone in years. I'd like to spend some time discussing how to...

Day99 : :emoji_sunglasses: Heeeyyy guys it's the Day 99. I actually feel great nowdays The Urges are so weak and less And They are in my control. I'm truly grateful for This weak, because I didn't have any bullshit wet dream. It's a massive success for me. My confidence has increased. I can...

I did it! 90 days without pulling my pud, beating my meat, fapping, or choking the preacher! And no porn! And I did not just "squeak" through, I followed a very focused and intentional plan and not only came through this very strong, but as a better man. I will now outline what I did. I cannot...

As of today, I have achieved 83 days P/M free, and only 7 days away from my long term goal of 90 days. I cannot fully articulate the inordinate amount of freedom I am feeling, as compared to the former life of bondage I was living with porn addiction. At the risk of sounding cliche, truly, I...

As of tomorrow, I will have achieved 70 days p/m free. (despite what my counter says) I cannot fully articulate the inordinate amount of freedom I am feeling, as compared to the former life of bondage I was living with porn addiction. At the risk of sounding cliche, truly, I am living a...

Hey everyone, my name is Phil. I currently live in Utah and work in the mental health field. I am also attending college to finish my bachelors degree and then on to my masters. I have been making some changes in my life and I feel porn is one of those things that needs to change. I totally...

Hi everyone, It's weird to write in English. I'm french and bilingual, but anyway, let's just introduce myself and what I've gone through. Currently on first month of NoFap, heading towards 90 days, then 150 days, then 180 days PMO free (and see how long it will last, hopefully longer) ; let me...

Good morning! Today, let's make the decisions and take the steps we need to in order to become the people who live porn-free lives! We are who we are because of what we choose to do. And if each day we choose to make healthy decisions that are going to promote successful and porn free lives...

If there are any senior members reading, this, I'd appreciate your input as well. If you are not familiar with the "why statement", now is the perfect time to start. The "why" statement is one or a few main reasons why you have decided to stop viewing porn. The creation (how to) of which I...

On the eve before accomplishing my first 30 day NoFap goal, there are a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head. There are a lot of emotions I feel energized in my soul. I'm thinking back over the last month. The steps it took to get here, and the goals I clearly set out to accomplish. The...

Admit it, not watching Porn is Hell, but you're going about it the wrong way. Think about this analogy whenever you feel: like you're just barely hanging on, tempted after lasting so long, or you just no longer see the point of the journey you began long ago. The path to recovery is trudging...

So yesterday was my 12th day without PMO... kind of? But I'm starting over... Again. And here's why: Does all this even really count if you're edging, looking at subtle pics, and maybe even watching porn without masturbating the whole time? Cause thats what I was doing and its not worth it...

I have two reasons for breaking up with my porn addiction. The first one is my lord Jesus Christ and my whish to honor him and learn how to treat woman as he wants me to do The second reason is a girl I really love. I decided for myself I wont start a relationship until I get rid of my addiction...

Now days more and more people watch porn , and it is a very bad behavior because if you watch for long time you will become addicted, like I did. I start to watch porn when I had 13 years , and I couldn't stop. Now I have 17 years and I want to change my life and to quit PMO . I want a...

Hi everyone I signed up last year and tried a lot things since then. I don't want to talk alot about my mistakes and failures and just move on. I used to masturbate everyday. Sometimes 6-7 times a day. Sometimes just one time but it was pretty much daily. Two weeks ago I had my longest streak...

When I was 13 years old I discovered the porn and the masturbation and I started to love it. After 9 years I could not stop. I cant remeber how I felt my life before starting with it but I think it was better... now thai I am aware that exist i cant imagine a life without the fap but I think its...
