inspiration

I clicked the panic button on this site and got sent this link of a youtuber I hadn't heard of despite having millions of followers and man this was pretty inspirational.

I was reading Jordan Peterson book "beyond order" and there was a inspiration to me: If you really want something, you have to sacrifice other things for that. If you want something from God, you have to be ready for giving other things. God doesn't wait for you to just ask him your dreams and...

It was late 2018. My life was shit. Constant anxiety. Social incel. Completely fogged up mentally. No girls. Etc. I had no hope, until i came across nofap. It took a few months. But around April 2019 I hit a 57 day streak. After that it was smooth sailing 20-30 day streaks. my life completely...

Quit and quit until you no longer have trouble fighting the urges. I believe that once you go long enough to the point where you can run into triggers, talk to girls, and see things in movies and just turn away and never feel the need to masturbate, I think your healed. (Typically takes 60-90...

If you do what is easy life will be hard, if you do what is hard life will be easy. If you do what is easy complain about your situation, your circumstances; if you do what is easy, stand around and be a volunteer victim like everybody else; if you do what is easy surrender and give up on your...

I now have no way to view porn or go on social media it has been deleted, all my passwords have been made up by a family member and they are holding them they don’t know why I just said I keep forgetting them and I feel more comfortable with certain things blocked (due to anxiety) iv never made...

Rain or shine, my company's president and CEO continually amazes me. Being an older man around his 60s with an attitude of getting things done no matter what, he takes matters into his own hands. Even though he wears professional looking attire, he'll get off his chair and walk downstairs to...

I remember rain falling on the roof of the car I just bought. A used car I signed no paperwork for but gave $1k for. It reeked of cigarette smoke as my almost soft smelling blankets covered me in the back seat of my new car. I looked outside my car's tinted window as rain drops slid off the...

I was merely 18 when I started in this Self-Help thanks to a college friend that pointed me in the direction of NoFap. I’m going into 25 now and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at all influenced by NoFap. It was the catalyst for me taking cold showers, fighting tooth and nail against...

Hi all! I joined this forum on August of 2015. It's been more than 5 years since I've been here and this community helped me tremendously in my quest to break this addiction! To speak a bit about my past, it would suffice to say that I was addicted to this crap since I was 16. I joined this...

As fire testeth iron, so doth temptation the upright man. Oftentimes we know not what strength we have; but temptation revealeth to us what we are. Nevertheless, we must watch, especially in the beginnings of temptation; for then is the foe the more easily mastered, when he is not suffered to...

Hello! Waya here, just wanted to post some things I have found helpful and maybe in turn others will also find helpful :~)

Hey guys, how do you stay away from thinking about porn when having urges? What are your best tricks? I need some inspo. (I use mostly meditation, books or music) Also, what is your opinion about wet dreams? Imo, it´s natural part of life and should not mean that you relapsed.

Hello everyone i’ve been a veteran wanker. My first wank was at the age of 9 when I sat down by my older brother computer and found some intresting stuff. Down the road I was charismatic with the ladies and felt most my childhood like a little man/dad. Qualities like assertiveness, good...

I had a reset yesterday. I have rolled back my counter accordingly. One expects their first stumble in the NoFap journey to be a fairly miserable experience, wrought with defeat, regret, and a lingering sense of guilt. I have to say, I did not relapse, and I am quite happy with my reset. Let me...

Double Edged Sword: An idiom used to describe something that could either hinder or help you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've recently decided to open a new chapter in my NoFap journey, and in the few hours that I've...

This is an idea I've been entertaining for a while. I have noticed that after overcoming strong urges, not only I feel relief but I feel like I have made some massive progress. Sometimes while going through I rough patch, certain triggers will come up as if some omnipotent asshole was trying 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...

Hey I would like if anyone who wishes to do so would share music that inspires them to grow and accomplish their goals. As the starter of the thread I’ll share one, which is also by my favourite band so here it goes. The concept it’s very much related to personal growth.

Until you truly love yourself, you can't love someone else. I know it sounds cliche. But it's true. Until you truly learn to love yourself you will not be able to get over this feeling. Don't get me wrong... I'm not one of those anti-fat shamers or new-age bullshit pushers... If you have nothing...

Hi y'all, This might be kind of weird, but at the moment I feel like I need something to show me what I'm fighting for. I know I'm fighting for myself and my health but I mean that I need something to convince me a healthy relationship is something to long for In short: Give me a movie (not too...

TL;DR - I've been watching porn since about 8 years old. Around the same time I was touched for the first time by someone that lived in my household at the time. I've been kind of obsessed with sex basically since then. I'm fighting my battle with fresh eyes and a plan SPECIFICALLY for me. Make...

We all know that generic saying "New Year New Me". Usually this quote is exchanged with a sarcastic scoff or a roll of the eye from the 3rd party; however, I've tooken in more appreciation of this term. Since my breakup last year around March (I know it's been almost a year get over it right?)...

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...

I am a deep thinker and guy with a big heart but unfortunately deeply in porn and fapping. I started my own journal here - you can access it on the left side under my nickname. I wanted to have this "more visible" thread as well where I would love to share some thoughts which I have shared...

NoFap has one of the most amazing communities of human beings i have ever encountered online. I am proud to say i have been on here for about 4 years and have seen my PMO use drop from multiple times a day to several times a month, to a handful of times a year. While i am not out of the woods...

Guys, it's taken me a lot of time and thought to summon the courage to write this confession. Overview: I am a 33 year old male who has been indulging in pornography and masturbation (to varying degrees) since I was 14 years old. I never really realized how big a problem it was until recently...

Hi all, I just wanted to share a bit about what I have learned, chat about my struggles and see what other people this so that maybe we can all grow together. I struggle with loneliness / self esteem mainly and if I fail or feel out of control of a situation I feel like I am being crushed by...

This is going to be a quite lengthy post, but I do believe it can inspire you guys so I wanted to share it ;) After I discovered porn and masturbation at age 13 or 14, I got hooked as everyone else on here and it's been a tough 12 years. My life has been full of negativity, stress, anxiety...

When I first started on NoFap, it was the hardest thing I've ever done. I struggled to even go past one day it just felt "wrong" you know. Everything was a trigger for me and everything in and around me said "masturbation is healthy, porn is normal, curb your emotions naturally, express your...

Dear community, sometimes it's just nice to have an inspiring quote, a passage from a book and some poetry and lyrics nearby to stay focused. should you then stumble, those words have the power to lift you up and bring you back on track. I wanted to open this thread here to collect our most...

So I was curious... Who are your male role models? It could be anyone to family, friends, celebrities, characters you name it.

Hey! So I know I find music to be very helpful for many things, including avoiding relapses. I wanted to make a thread where people can post songs that they find help motivate them to keep going, whether in their fight against PMO or just when life is hard in general. Any genre is fine, people...

Hello everyone, I fell off the NoFap train for awhile but its time to take control and make a comeback! I'm going to post my ideal day and goals so I can have a steady idea of what I need to keep doing to reach them, as well as inspire others. Feel free to drop your...

Today everyone is talking about VUCA and what it means to lead in a such an environment. The question is "Are there any different competencies a VUCA leader needs to have or is it just that some competencies need to be further honed and developed into strengths?" First let's reiterate what...

STARTING OUT: To succeed one must know the true value of failures! Whether we just start out on this journey or have started and failed countless times, you must always be aware of the mistakes you have made and make sure to make a tiny change to your daily schedule to train your mind of not...

I came across this video link in another post from a fellow fapstronaut and thought I'd share in case any one hasn't seen it and is in need of motivation: I appreciated his talk for it's honesty and courage - this guy pushes forward through rejection and disappointment and sees it as an...

Dear, fellowship of fapstronauts, This is my fourth day with NoFap. At the moment I'm feeling nauseous in my stomach and have the feeling that I have to vomit. I realy wanted to relapse, so I took a second cold shower and a walk outside. Most of the horny feelings are gone atm. But is this...

The longest streak I had without PMO in my 8 year porn addiction since the age of 13 was last year, it was only around 50 days. But man oh man even those 50 days I felt major benefits, here is a list of some of the benefits I experienced during that period: - Way more confidence, this just...

For Mac users, you can have a live Day Counter on your desktop! See your streak every time you open your computer! Pay attention to your numbers and not the porn! It's called Countdown Widget. You can customize it however you want to: size, color, icon, title etc. See link...

It all began when I was 14. Its been seven years and I haven't been able to control my fap frequency. The past two years are much worse as I could fap not less than thrice a day. I wasn't much worried about it until yesterday when I went on to a movie date with a friend of mine. The theatre was...

Just a heads up, this is going to be long, boring and depressing :) I'm just sat here soon going to bed and I'm just reflecting on my life. I relapsed twice today but this isn't about that right now. I'm 16, and I just finished school, and the only thing I have done all year is sit on my...

Hi all! I have been trying to give up this villain in my life called temptations to watch porn and masturbate for almost two years now. I was very happy to discover this great and inspiring community called NoFap. About 3 weeks ago I was highly motivated to do NoFap challenge for indefinite...

Brothers (and sisters), For years I’ve struggled with the same problems as you. But now I have made my resolve. From today on, I WILL NOT FAIL. No excuses, just (hard) work, reflection and progress. I’ve lost so much. But the beauty of desperation is motivation. In other words, I have the world...

Hey guys, I really hope you're all having a great day! I'll try to keep this quite short and sweet. I've checked out Nofap a lot before for help on quitting PMO, however, I keep relapsing... quite spectacularly. Though I get further on each attempt (current best, 3 weeks), I'm really...

The power of choice is what makes us different from any other living being.A tree can't be anything but a tree why because it doesn't have a choice does it.Us humans have unlimited options we no longer have to follow our instincts like animals do.We human beings are blessed with this unique...
