habits

There is a laundry list of bad habits that I have. The worst one is my social media addiction, that can be fixed by reading books and having hobbies that are outside of social media. But, the other bad habit that I deal with, that is also related to social media is PEEKING. I don't go on...

i finally hit 21 days today. it is an achievement for me. it is the longest i have ever gone without fapping for the last 3 years or so. I need to break this barrier. and i believe the best way to do this is to stop counting the days and focus even more on my work. the more i think about having...

Hello Fellow Fapstronauts, I have never posted on this site or any related site before, however I just recovered from a lifelong porn and masturbation addiction and I would like to share my story and advice. I know that reading these helped me recover and beat urges (no pun intended). This may...

This is not about pornography specifically but as the title says it has helpful tips for breaking and making habits.

I'm trying to give up my vices. I switched from YouTube, to Netflix, to games. I'm halfway to 30 days on nofap, which I've only done twice before. I'm aiming for 90 days, maybe a whole year, but hoping for the rest of my life. I want to break out of my bad habits and routine. I want to make a...

Hello everyone, my name is botme (an odd and random nickname). I suffered with porn addiction as a young teen. We had internet, but my family took it away when everyone was just using it for PMO. At 27 years old I discovered nofap for the first time. It took me three years but I was finally able...

Hi guys, So I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, it's certainly self improvement and related to the circadian rymthms, so if this isn't the right place I hope the moderators will place it in the correct place, thanks in advance! Around the same time that I started PMO in my...

I've relapsed on day 35, so this is my previous streak. I noticed that my jawline became sharper/more gaunt. Usually it is a triangular mess. My spots were less noticable, although I did zoom in on them with a microscope to find that they were still there. My skin going a lighter colour had a...

Hi everyone. It's hard to fight during these quarantine days, and I'm not talking about relapsing and porn. It's hard to find time to enjoy this life, to work out. I can't find the motivation to do anything, I'm stuck. During winter I could rely on going out with friends or going to school, but...

Below are some things I have incorporated into my life that adds flavour and pleasure to everyday living. 1. Running This is an activity that really makes me feel good. I put my earbuds in get my running shoes on, stretch, then just run. I can run half marathons, I'm aiming to run a full...

I'm trying my best here always fail. I just reseted my counter back to 0. I've tried diet(because 20kg obese.), exercise, meditation and nofap.. I still keep failing! I do get it, I have porn/masturbation addiction.. This ain't easy man I'm telling you. 4 years of fails! I wanna get good, I...

Changing our relationship to our OWN sexuality, can be one of the most challenging growth initiatives ever! Using porn or compulsive sexual activity is full of isolation, secrets, shame, guilt, confusion, on and on. How effective our changes and how long term they will be, is going to be...

Hi guys, once every now and then i have down phases where i feel a little depressed (currently have one). I meditate every day for 30 minutes, i obviously stopped fapping/porn etc., i have been working out every single day for the last 3-4 months and before i worked out 3x a week. I read 1...

Hey there! Hope all of you are doing alright and staying safe given everything going on in the world right now. I guess I'll start off with a bit about myself. I'm 25, a software developer, and kinda an all-around nerd. I've got a variety of hobbies ranging from tabletop games, to photography...

Hi, i'm new in this page. I just admitted that I got a problem with my personal relantionships because of my porn and masturbation habits. Since my mother died, when I was 12 (i'm 22) I started watching porn and jacking me off, at firts it helped me to quit or avoid stress and anxiety, then I...

So I was reading this book the other day on Habits, and one sentence that made an impression as soon as I read it was : "You cannot extinguish a bad habit; you can only change it" In other words, the author's point was that there's a cue-routine-reward factor for every habit we ever pick up...

I am shifting to a hostel first ever in my life in order to: 1) Recover from PMO Addiction of over 13 years by changing environment and starting afresh. 2) Focusing on my Professional Qualification by proper studying along-with work (which I wasn't able to do before due to multiple addictions...

Now let's be honest, I'm just some guy on the internet to anyone who reads this, but I want to share this idea for those who truly want to reach their goals in life. We all know that life is so much more than trying to beat an addiction. I think it would be sad if we let that part of life...

From I've learnt from recently reading the book Atomic Habits, the real reason habits matter is not because they can get you better results (although they can do that), but because they can change your beliefs about yourself. The reason why many people easily give up building a good habit such...

Starting from tomorrow, I will try out a productive morning routine. According to several books and blogs I read, what you do in the morning will affect your whole day. Here is my morning routine plan for a typical workday: 7:00 - 7:10 am - Wake up and brush my teeth (No phone check) 7:10 -...

I took my first sip of coffee in Middle School. In high school, tea was my main gig. As a college student, I can't imagine life without caffeine. I'm not the higher end of consumers by any means, but I can't think of a week where I've gone without it. I've read a couple times on these forums...

Hello guys! In my previous Journal I started to implement some great Habits. I also wrote a lot of my personal stuff and really used it as a diary. In the view of data protection and privacy I got doubts about being so open online (even though we have Anonyms). Besides that, I disliked the...

My longest abstinence streak of 252 days was recently broken, which was brought on by my social and professional diffidence I decided to control with edging. I thought this would be acceptable practice, more than acceptable when watching pornography, to avoid denying myself as a sexual being...

[M20] I've been fapping since I was 13 or so. Now I'm in college and I still enjoy it. However, recently I've got into the habit of sexting strangers (women between 19-21) at night on Omegle to get off. At first I thought it was really fun. But now I am doing it everyday and it really ruins my...

Hello to you reading this, I hope you are doing well. Today's one of days that I was fully aware of my triggers. Since it is very important to figure out what triggers you, I thought it should be a good idea to observe my own self. Therefore, I figured that holding the mobile before sleeping...

My Decision: On March 29, 2019 I took the decision to change my life to the better through implementing new good habits and eliminating old bad habits. The rule is pretty simple; I’m tackling one habit at a time. Because all the habits are not the same, the time allowed to each one can vary...

Since i started my track to make myself a better person (nofap was one of the tools I found), I’v been looking for new habits and methods to help me. One of these was meditation (lots of people has the wrong look of it). Well, in one of these moments of reflection, i noticed that solitude...

My name is monkey mode and since events that transpired on January 3rd of this year, I have been fully dedicated to self improvement and have fully changed the course of my life. I went from being out of shape, lazy, and unhappy, to what I can only describe as the road to self transcendence...

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...

Before I'd even heard of the NoFap, or stopped to think about others having similar issues with excessive porn use, I'd tried to quit a few times. I think I managed a couple of weeks at the most but as soon as I reached a point of weakness in my life (hangover / long period without...

Dead sick, cancer, autoimmune diseases, lawsuits, $100.000 debt, immigration problems, bankruptcy chapter 7. In my darkest hours, I had to make some changes. With my rituals and habits, I was able to transform my life within 2 months. Now I'm debt free, super healthy, created new businesses...

Ive developed a kind of addiction from age of 21. where i get an unstoppable urge to rationalize, I come up with random questions myself like "is that Law Of Attraction really works?", "what are things i achieved in past". also I make a list of work or future plans yet to be made. also, I will...

Hey guys, I want to draw up a list with books/podcasts/youtube channels (...) that can help people in the noFap-community on their journey. The topic does not have to be noFap in particular, it can be anything that is about living a better life. I will try to edit the starting post regularly if...

So, I have more or less PMOed almost every day for the last 10 years of my life. I'm currently 22, so basically since I discovered porn I haven't stopped consuming it. These are the first 10 days that I haven't consumed it since that time. Towards the end of my PMO career, I really started...

Ok so now after an 11 days streak i relapsed i just couldnt take it anymore but even tho i relapsed it was a good streak i couldnt hold myself much before so now I need help ... again i need tips, habits vs pmo i can adapt to and anything that can help

I believe a lot of the depression and laziness stems from the fact that we do not want to come out of our comfort zone and as a result are not able to meet our life goals. Goals such as meeting desired women, work performance, social anxiety, body-building, etc.. Since we fapstronauts already...

What habits do you suggest me to replace masturbation with? I know this is very important because habits have to be replaced, not destroyed. Liking this post would be appreciated, I need that to be able to edit my signature

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...

To start, i do - meditation,journaling,reading and NoFap among other things. What about you guys? :)o_O:D:DThinking about adding cold showers soon but it's winter and i don't fancy the cold at all. Hmmm soon :cool:

Hello guys I have a little bit of an issue. I have a good morning routine habit. Waking up, making my bed, meditate 20 minutes, make some green/ pu'er tea, studying for school. However after that I stagnate and I tend to procrastinate a lot. I really would like to workout after that but most...

Hello everyone! Yesterday, I discovered a great app for habits, called Habitica. Now I suppose, that many of us are into gaming, but even if not, this app is something very usefull. It is like a game, you design your own avatar and start at Level 1. But what is the point of it and how can it...

Okay I don't have school now. I'm basically free all day.. I spend some time studying. I do workout or meditate in the morning. I play football in the evenings. I read books(Not a heavy reader), I'm doing an online programming course, I do go out sometimes.. Still I have a lot of time left ...

Ok guys so two nights ago i was just thinking before falling asleep and this thought came into mind, hence the title of this post. I felt like i made a new discovery and just HAD to get up and write about it. So here i am sharing it to you guys. Maybe its just common sense and or somebody...

1. CUE So for us porn-addicts, it can be various things from boredom, to loneliness, avoidance, or sadness. What's your cue? 2. ROUTINE Everyone has their quirks when fapping but ultimately we have the same goal in mind. It's an automated response. The more severe your addiction, the more of a...

I'm 16 and this winter and spring I am trying to re-build habits that I learned last spring. Let me explain. In the spring, I made a commitment that I would improve myself and my grades. I woke up at 5:00am every single day, meditated, and did not PMO for a month and stayed very strong. I...

After finishing my first month, I've been thinking about what it is like after the reboot is over, and how to stop myself from going down the same cycle again. Does anyone have any resources for healthy self sexual care habits...because I don't want to cut this part of my life out entirely

Hello guys,i just would like to thanks everyone for helping me,this website helps a Lot,maybe i wouldn't be here without It. And one thing i was thinking,when you reach the same nofap streak over and over again,what If the good And bad effects become a bit "lighter",Like If your mind got used...

Hi, can you share here some ideas and daily habits you know that will lead you to a better person, i am new here and today is my first week im PMO free. Thank you for your time <3

Hey guys, I've been reading a lot about the "habit loop" and it's effects on our decisions. For people that don't know, a habit loop contains 3 parts: cue (or what NoFappers call triggers) routine and reward. These are bound together by a craving. Example PMO. Cue - see a pop up with a hot...

Hi there fellow fapstronauts! At first I would like to thank everybody on this website! I am very happy that I was told about this and really appriciate the effort people put in this for each other. You all rock! I have been watching porn on a sustained daily basis for as long as I can...

Every day one quote ... That will teach something new to everyone. :) Enthusiasm is a way of life , not an emotion.

Hey fapstronauts. New around here. Long story short I felt like crap for 4 years until I rebooted at the age of 21. Life has never been same since. I've been into the self-improvement scene for 3 years after picking up a book and came to learn the importance of developing habits. Here's a piece...

I've exams coming up in 2 days and I'm wasting time on the internet. Not P but still. Even if you take the internet away from me, I'd find something else to waste time on, anything to distract myself from actually studying. This has been going on all my life. Despite countless failures in the...

Sup friends, I literally was finishing porn when I decided to check snapchat and stumbled across the NoFap advertisement. Coincidence? I think not... So yeah, I'm a Christian who started masturbating since age...12? Maybe? I've had a high sex drive and strong sexual imagination since before I...
