happiness

I have a 228 days strike of not watching porn, not fapping to porn ( 3 or 4 faps with no porn) and daily sex with my girlfriend (I think that completely quitting sex is not posible for me) I have a lovely girlfriend, beautiful and with a great body, she lets me do anything to her ( anal, oral...

Sometimes, i wonder how it would be like to have a girlfriend. I know it sounds really weird, but i'm an adult right now and i've never actually dated someone. I've tried to get closer to people in the past but it didn't really work the way i was expecting. instead of just craving a...

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...

Day 38 NO PMO! Yep, the longest streak I've had so far. Well for the past weeks everything went great from the boost of energy to social attention. From being shy to being confident. Got sick for awhile but recovered. The feeling is so overwhelming! However, a month after I felt something is...

I've decided to talk to more people when I'm not at home, and so far, it has been great. I think combined with nofap this has boosted my overall happiness, as nowadays I wake up looking forward to the day ahead. This has been a huge change for me, because last year, I hated my acquaintances...

Hi everyone my name is Re-Life. Named myself after one of my favorite Anime's and the year I broke free of porn and lived life to the fullest. Today I would just like to start out with a morning meditation for success and clarity. Meditation Take at least five minutes to focus on your...

It has been almost 3 weeks in my new job. My roles and responsibilities have increased in the new organization. For the first time, I will be leading a team. I am excited to start this new journey which is paying better than what I was getting in my last organization. I have actually turned 31...

It is well known that pmo destroys lives and steals futures. I've been pmoing for about 7 or 8 years to some pretty sick stuff, and have been on the road to quitting for about a year now. Over the course of the past year I've developed an anxiety disorder and have regressed in my social skills...

Well, I've almost made it to the 30 day Reboot goal, after hitting 30 days I'll keep going for another 30 days. Honestly, its felt longer. Does anyone else feel like it is a longer process than it really is? I'm staying strong and haven't had any setbacks so that's good. We are working on...

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...

Currently I am recovering from a few times a week porn addiction and am on my 27th day of no relapse. This is the furthest I have ever gotten and I couldn’t be happier with that fact. But recently I have noticed that a bunch of the things I used to like doing, things I even liked doing when my...

"... is to become an amazing person." - Mark Manson [https://markmanson.net/how-to-find-the-one] Thoughts anyone? I like it. It's counter-intuitive yet it feels true to me. Manson says earlier in the article that "[...] everyone wants a perfect partner, but few people want to be the perfect...

I mean, all my friends and me are now at this stage of "finding ourselves" and figure out what we want to do in life, which is hard, I'm not denying, but I realized that its pointless to just let time pass till some inner voice will tell me who I really am, I can just choose what I want to want...

Just starting(again) my nofap journey. The worst thing about myself are both my aloofness and my tendency to become enraged. Contradictory,yes,but nevertheless... I find disagreeing with 99% of the throng on everything,especially when it comes to health and ideas about "the good life". So tired...

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...

I have a pretty relationships asking post. But seeing society to these days lately. I'm thinking about relationships and being able to conquer one myself. I'm starting to think it won't even happen for me unless I get back into school. But on the other hand relationships happen to my friends...

Being grateful is the secret to happiness. A gratitude list will help you become more of a glass-half-full person. I practice gratitude every day. Everyday I write in The 6-minute Diary (google it). Writing down a gratitude list everyday is a very good exercise for me to be grateful, to be...

Note – I removed cuss words thinking it blocked my post on reddit nofap, still didn't work, so I posted here instead. Post is a bit long but is very emotional, 1500 words, bear with me. It is all over the place and I talk about seduction as my personal goal here btw, so if you hate that maybe...

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...

I have started to think that everyone has an addiction in our case the pmo, most are addicted to alcohol, drugs, smoking, social networks, video games etc. All addictions have something in common to forget their problems or feel a little happiness. My question for you is if you can be happy...

I'm 37 days in am I'm glad to say I've been able to craft a beautiful relationship with a girl I legitimately love within these last few days. Five minutes of pleasure are not worth it. I'm moving towards the life of my dreams and am only 37 days in. I don't even want sex... I'm looking for real...

Hi there, I'm busy setting up a lifestyle that is so fulfilling that masturbation doesn't have to be an option anymore. Most people masturbate because they have an unfulfilling sexual lifestyle. What I'm going to do is to learn a way of life that doesn't need fapping. The motivation for not...

3 years since i officially started nofap my best streak so far is 43 days.. other than that 10,20 days every new month. I have learned a lot and i have seen progress but i still have insecurities and im going to let them all out. 23 year old and I feel shame.. I feel shame because i can say i...

Most of the people (including business people, students, people who seeking for spirituality, who`s in psychedelics) every must have stumbled accross the one of the complex question in Philosophy, which 'What is an Ego?'. Yes i know Ego is the primary reason for ones destructive behaviours and...

hey whats up guys, hope you’re all having a good day. I just want to give an update on my nofap journey. Which I started nearly 2 years ago. Well i must say there has been both good and bad moments, mostly bad but it taught me that I MUST appreciate every small beautiful moment there is. Because...

Hey guys. Hope you are all doing well ! So heres the deal i want to know your opinion on this. The thing ls ive been battling this "addiction" for 2 years now. For me its not porn its cybersex. Most of the time i felt like an addict and blamed myself about it but recently i started working...

Anything that makes you feel alive, that fills with you with that thrill, or just soothes you. Anything goes.

That ive heard walking bear legs will improve circulation of blood and it feels good..does it make sense?.. which one is better either walking with slippers or with nothing?

I had this conversation with fellow fapstronaut last week and i think that it might be helpful for others, so i just repost it here: Me: I was thinking about the addiction this morning. I woke up late and i felf like a failure, you know, and of course urges was stronger than usual. And even if...

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing well. I am currently over a month on this streak. I don’t keep track of the days, I noticed I sort of naturally forgot what day I’m on and I don’t ever really think of whatever day I’m on because truthfully, it doesn’t matter. I would say the past month and...

2018 a year without PMO I feel awesome currently, I don ´t know why. I did it. I complished a year without PMO few moths ago, but now it a full year. I am proud of myself I can say it was a test of my will power and mental toughness. I ´ve got few harde times, but it over fine, I don ´t want to...

Good day everyone! I am introducing and bringing you a new and at large challenge! The idea behind this challenge is basically choosing a subject becoming a Grand Master at it. I've heard in the passed that if you have succeeded 10,000 hours into one subject you have obtained the right to be...

Whilst in a meditative process of scanning my mental and emotional environments with the intent to purge, detoxify and wash my spirit of all the chaotic, conflict-producing energy, I discovered quite abruptly in a spontaneous slap-in-the-face-with-a-wet-kipper type of insight that watching...

Hi everyone I just want to start off by thanking the nofap community for changing my life. I have been currently aware that I have been addicted to porn and masturbation for roughly a year and been fighting it since. I've had a lot of ups and downs in my journey (which I've logged all of in...

• I want to stop the porn addiction because I live happy without any depression ,anxiety, low self esteem etc. • It kills my Body slowly and slowly like a drug addiction.

Two days clean of porn and I'm already smiling and laughing more then I have in the past 6 years. I was that douche that made fun of NoFap but that was to hide my insecurities about being addicted to porn. I've seen a lot of positivity here and that's honestly extremely helpful. This community...

The reason why I can't stand pornography anymore is that this thing has been driving my life crazy for a very long time. It has the power to let me down and makes me feel unclean. You know, I do believe in God, and my desire is to live a pure life and have a blessed marriage one day. Finally...

It seems like everyone has a story and it is always from their point of view. Some make themselves look like the person who was wronged and some are the ones doing the wrong. Neither way does anyone come out better than the other. It is interesting how I have been described as a selfish person...

I've been researching nofap for a while now. I'm not thinking about trying this. I'm neither against it, nor support it completely. But that's because I haven't fully researched it yet. However, I have a few question about masturbation/ejaculation. My old masturbation routine was, on average...

This presentation is so true for me personally. I have been: - in a good/healthy long term relationship, - unwantedly single, - and since a couple of years I volentairily chose to stay single and not be dating/celibate. In my case. I am now (volentairily single & not dating) overall as about...

What has made you happy recently? Share it here, be it something grand or not! For me it was seeing my 17 days on my noPMO counter, to which i haven't paid attention for a while. When i saw that i realized that i had taken a huge step forward. Not that i count my days obsessively, but rather it...

I have written the benefits one has when they quit porn and masturbation after 30 days. There are still the same when you quit 60 days, but there are more benefits as well. Here are some you gain when you quit after 60 days: 1) More time: This is a benefit that starts day one when you quit...

As I said in a post recently, the human mind exists to be challenged. You are never meant to settle in conformism, your happiness and satisfaction will come from the release of hormones when you get results in your life. If I gave you a million dollars every day for the rest of your life you...

The human mind is not made to settle. We're always looking for the easy results, for the quick fix, for the "3 step guide to be a millionaire". The instant satisfaction is right there a lot of times, eating junk food, watching porn, smoking weed, getting drunk. It's all there, however try doing...

So, the first two days of my reboot process have been going great, and honestly, I feel good in not masturbating nor having watched porn in these two days. I've done things such as work, taking hikes and swimming, so it's been a nice two days. I hope for some good tips from some of you guys...

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...

I remember back when just going out with a girl made me so excited. The rush of holding her hand, getting to kiss her, dancing with her.. that slowly disappeared as I got into porn over the last couple of years. I always thought it was because I was just getting bored of women.. but im only 24...

I am currently starting this because I feel as though my body needs a full detox. I do not strictly have a life ruining addiction to P/M but it does take up an unreasonable amount of time and can result in me going to sleep an entire hour later each night. I want to improve myself for the...

Hi! Im U.L Some of you guys know me some dont. I've done nofap before joining this site (62 days streak and a 120 day one) I still felt empty after my 120 day relapse so I decided to make it official by joining here. The benefits of not watching P and MO is so huge that I will list some...

Hello guys. I decided to share my story here to express my gratitude for abstaining for 50 days now. I do not consider myself distinctly successful, but I think it belongs here somehow. Trigger warning: I'm not going to describe details about fapping itself, but sometimes I'll describe...

Taken from this article published in The Guardian. The truth, insofar as the evidence suggests, is that the experience of happiness is just as complex, multi-faceted and individually variable as any other intangible property created by the ever-baffling human brain. So many things can affect...

Starting right Now! LETS GET ARE LIVES BACK! 30 days JOIN ME! On this Very Important goal! Comment if you are in! We will support each other along the way! CHALLENGE GOALS: -NO PMO 30 DAYS -EVERY TIME WE HAVE STRONG RELAPSE FEELING, WE MUST DO SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR OURSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE...

I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not happy. If there's something that a lot of media has tried to teach us is that you can be happy with nothing and you can be unhappy with everything. My definition of happiness may be different from yours, so any comments are welcome. To me happiness is...

Hi there, I'm a 16-year-old boy who sings and plays guitar and puts up stuff online (youtube) for people to watch. I work my a** off every day but somedays when I am feeling kinda bad and I get somewhat sad, I get lost and give in.. (relapse) and a come-back from that relapse is kind of...

All, I am having trouble getting joy and happiness out of things after giving up PMO. I realize that my brain is still addicted to the intense high I used to get from PMO and everything else seems to pale in comparison. I have been sober for 7 weeks and I am hoping that this will get...

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...

Hello everybody ! I want to share with you my journey. I ma so happy to share it with you, it is so beautiful that I feel like I'am dreaming !! 794 days without watching porn, without fapping and without edging !! Really the life is incredible without this sensation of shame and slavery to...

Discovered masturbating at age 11, porn and hentai at age 13/14, been using it ever since. At first, I used it because it felt so good and I kept wanting more. Later, I needed it to remedy depression and it gave me a feeling of acceptance and connection when I felt rejected and lonely...

yesterday i had a conversation with a guy ( i am a girl) and basically i told him that it was impossible to feel the kind of explosive happiness when you love the guy/girl you are dating or your husband/wife. this kind of happiness is more rare especially within the 1st year that you still get...

WHEN it comes to making improvements as a means of making yourself happier – but also in becoming a better person. It’s important that making changes that benefits you above all else. The problem when some people want to make changes and self-improvements. It’s more often not in wanting to seek...

Usually i don't like to talk a lot so i pass directly to the main topic There is 10 keys to live a better life : 1-Don't underestimate yourself. 2-Love yourself. 3-Change yourself to a better person. 4-Don't compare yourself to others. 5-Fuck what other think about you. 6-Don't try to be a good...

Ive realized i have soooo much more power being apart of this NoFap family. Even though i am doing this for my personal family.. i have kept this addiction too myself out of embarrassment, and out of shame. In doing soo i could never quit. There is no repercussion for an issue if nobody knows...

I have been thinking lately to make my life more interesting. When i talk to people i get awkward when replying to how i spent that day and I don't really have stuff to talk about Since i quit my addictions 9 months ago my life mainly consists of work and gym. I have been losing and gaining...

I need to stop watching because it drains me of happiness and energy. It takes all of my goals and slowly destorys them. Im doing this to show my younger brothers i can actually accomplish what i say. I know they look up to me and i have been letting them down. Im also doing this because of...

Hello guys i am a 22 years old Arabian guy ,computer science and math student and this is my first thread in this forum, so this is what happens after quitting porn and faping: -I improved my self esteem. -My self confidence boosted regularly and now i feel more confident about myself. -I have...

It's learning how alone everyone is in life. It's learning how no one is ever understood. It's learning, better quickly than slowly, that joy and happiness only come from your own effort. Not your partner, not your family, not your friends, not your parents. Everyone will fail you here...

I'm planning on seeing a sexologist in order to have guidance, support, and just a better understanding of how to overcome PIED, General/Performance Anxiety and overall improving my lifestyle and my habits. Has anyone ever gone down this route? Of seeing a professional on their personal sexual...

Honestly, not fapping has been one of the best things in my life! I feel so confident, I don't get bored easily, it's so easy for me to get up out of bed, I barely procrastinate, it's easy for me to be on time! I CAN STUDY, LIKE ACTUALLY STUDY, before I could only do my essay the night before...

Hey guys, I want to create another open discussion thread. I really like hearing your points of view. Here are a couple of questions, I want to hear what you as a person think the answer to these questions are. The answers don't have to be based on fact, I want to know from your own personal...

The whole reason i had started rebooting was because i lost all my friends due to my addiction to PMO. It made me distant. My longest lasting reboot was... I think 19 days and it wasn't as hard as i exepcted which is why I am not too impressed with my current number of days... 6. However what...

I am a 25 year old girl. My ex guy left me in January for another girl( i didn't know about this other girl before). i loved him so much. last time we talked was May i still want him to come back to me or be next to me when i wake up. I am 7 months PMO free. after him i haven't been with anyone...

Today is the day where I start fresh. I have tried numerous times to refrain from PMO but every time I have failed. Its a sad and sick feeling to not be able to kick such a terrible habit. From a young age Ive always PMO'd without knowing the affects it had on me, there would be some times I...

I haven't been on date, nor kissed or had sex in 8 months for my choice. Btw I am a 25 year old girl. Last time I had sex was with my last guy who left me and broke my heart. Months ago I sort of hung out with a couple of guys who were acquaintances who tried to make a move while we were...

Hi guys, Starting from today i'll keep 3 days of "fasting" :) I'll write here every challenge I face during this 3 days. Does anyone like to join my journey?

Hey everyone, my name is Giovanni, and I'm 24 years old I've been struggling with porn for 12 years. Like the title says, and why I imagine most are here, I want my life back. I've been feeling a lot of the effects of pornography in my daily life for quite some time and I feel as if beginning...

So, the reason why I decided to post here today is because I reached my goal, at least my initial one: lasting three weeks in the challenge, abstaining from PMO. Has it been easy? No, not at all. Have I wanted to watch porn and throw it all? Yes, I have. Have I had "dirty" thoughts? Yes I have...

If you had the chance, would you erase very traumatic episodes linked to your addiction but not only, that had hurt you deeply? I am wondering what other addicts would choose. I chose yes. I have recently started some auto-therapy via hypnosis and I feel more free. Weights lifted off me. It...

Well i don't know if this is apply just for youngster like me (i am 20 years old) but i am dreaming how good will be when i leave this disgusting addiction and achieve friends and a girlfriend and even get married who knows? i think i will finally enjoy life as it was meant to be.

Hello, So i have been watching online porn and masturbated for at least 11 years now. I love my girlfriend who i have been living together for the last 5 years and lately i feel almost like i`m cheating on her every time i watch porn and masturbate. I want it to stop and treat her with the full...

What's up guys, Just a quick story for all who may need inspiration or proof of changes! Went to a party last night, walked in with a goofy friendly look on my face and instantly started hugging girls, bro handshakes with guys, starting conversations, laughing, having a great time. After about...

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...

What's up everybody, I guess it'll be good to give you guys some context as to why I am here. Like everyone else I've suffered from porn addiction for a while now, long enough to know it's keeping me from living my life to the fullest. It took some time, but I am understanding now that my...

Hi Fapstronauts. I joined NoFap 3 days ago and I might as well get out my comfort zone and introduce myself. As I mentioned in my first thread, my name is Michael, I'm 23 years old, a senior in college studying geology and geospatial analysis, from Atlanta, GA and I decided to join NoFap because...

Hi everyone. My name is Michael. I am currently a senior in college studying to become a geologist and geospatial analyst. This is my first time ever joining a forum and am a little nervous about what to expect. I decided to join NoFap due to an addiction to internet pornography obviously. I am...

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...

Hello NoFap! I'll start this post by saying that I am a novice Fapstronaut but I can already feel the subtle changes this program is bringing. I am on day 15 and I have not felt this much motivation in many years. I just feel like I can achieve anything and I'm not stuck in the dazed cycle of...

Anyone else experience internal conflict with this? I don't believe I really have what it takes, the chemical makeup, the internal 'wiring', or whatever you call it, to be happy without a significant other. It doesn't even feel like a natural part of me. But people always say that you have to...

While I am new and just starting out with NoFap, I am a fairly happy person, given my situation. I always want to help others and cannot stand to see other people go through things that make them: sad, depressed, anxious, or just generally unhappy; but also things that I've been though that I...

Well, it's the end of the year. So, let's look back and remember what good things we achieved in this year. Write why you are so happy with this year.

Hello everyone, my name is Mr. C, basically I am here because I want to propose a great challenge, and of course for all who want to assume it is welcome, it consists of a small experiment, before I start clarifying that I am not in favor of religious points of view, Nor do I take for granted...
