mindset

I would like to share with you an interesting observation about porn addiction. It is possible that it has already been mentioned on the forum, but I still feel like it is worth telling with the hope that it may help someone. Porn addiction is, in my opinion, a very "mental" thing. What I mean...

I spent a few weeks without accessing NoFap Forum, however, all this time I was studying content to help every NoFap member. Today, I will talk about a book I finished recently and I was surprised about how much good information it brings about how to build a good future and how to not be...

I'm aware that PMO generally feeds a mindset very sex-focused and I feel like I've adopted one. I don't like it, it's always felt wrong but also difficult to get rid of. Can anyone who's beat the addiction attest to overly sexual thoughts going away after a while? After about two weeks clean, I...

Guys, I think I figured it out. I've been having some new urges recently after a breakup (I'm on 400+ days NoFap), but I came out of it with a killer mindset. Whenever you have an urge to do P.M.O. (Porn, Masturbation, Orgasm), ask yourself, WHY would I do it, if it will ultimately: 1. Keep...

Hello everyone, There have been a butt load of skills and knowledge since I have started my nofap journey. Learning the Guitar, reading a lot about mental health, exercising frequently, meditating, rewiring my mindset through audio books, journaling gratitude. In short, I'm more active and...

That's right. I've been free of this addiction for almost 3 full years, and the last month I relapsed and fully binged PMO. I'm now about 5 days into my new streak, And I'll document my journey just to show you it's possible! Feel free to ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT REBOOTING. In the next 5-10...

My biggest breakthrough in my self-improvement journey came when I no longer lived as a victim. I used to believe that I had no control over my life. I didn't feel like I had a choice. What I've now learnt is... I CHOSE to be in a relationship that didn't allow me to develop. I CHOSE to...

14 years of addiction, 7 years of nofap trial and error. I tried many different techniques, such as surge surfing, not counting days, meditation, exercise, changing my environment, planning my day, keeping myself busy, and changing my mindset. But nothing ever worked. Today, I learned the bitter...

After binging P these last few days I realize I need to delete my collection and try to live porn free. Part of me is attached to these and obviously doesn't want to but after posting this I'll get rid of everything and start fresh.

** I have just updated my post that you can find at the very last page, Below is the postings when i completed my main streak goals and my thoughts. Thanks ** Day 75 completed. New rank achieved - SPARTAN GENERAL! ( 100 DAYS SPARTAN CHALLENGE) Currently on FLATLINE. Status NO P, NO MO, still i...

Day 75 completed. New rank achieved - SPARTAN GENERAL! ( 100 DAYS SPARTAN CHALLENGE) Currently on FLATLINE. Status NO P, NO MO, still i need to work on how to better avoid all the the things that are hidden in plain sight. Before I had Instagram, Telegram, Twitter, P-subs comics. etc. Now with...

Just found this today and it's really the best I've seen! Doing these breathing exercises and following the advice would help. Haven't meditated in several months so this reminded me to get back on it. Relapsed yesterday and put filters on all browsers today.

Holy fuck, y'all. I haven't been here in over a year, but I didn't go all in like I could have. During that time, I justified any/every use of PMO I could think of - and my addiction spiraled out of control. Again. I felt miserable, slimy, and worthless, yet I exponentially craved more dopamine...

Found this blog on approaching women. Interesting read but it's from 2010. Key takeaways I got: - Good mindset and energy are necessary before even trying to approach. I'm guilty of this. Approaching women when I wasn't happy with my life and was just lonely. Seemed to make it worse. And...

So you all are addicted to porn like me? Of course you are , why would you even sign up on Nofap then. What happens when you are addicted to PMO? 1. You waste your valuable time ( yes you do ) 2. You mostly sit at home and usually don't like much people around you. 3. You are a loser at life...

It's been 2 weeks since I faped and I'm confident I'll be able to make it to 90 days. In the last 50 days I have fapped for 7 times. I started my nofap journey in May 2021 and struggled to make it to just 7 days without Porn. But after much reading and experimenting I can say that porn is no...

For some reason whenever I’m on vacation or just at a hotel. I have streaks that last up to 10-12 days. After a while I am more alone so I fall back into my steps of resetting and relapsing. Yesterday I was upset and angry at something and I used it as an excuse to use cam and just watch. I’m...

I made it to my first ever streak of Day 30!!! My life has changed completely. :emoji_tada: Day 30 of not engaging a lifelong fetish and getting to the root cause of it. 30 days of no P. 30+ days of fighting and overcoming intense battles. 30 days of choosing to control my attitude and choosing...

The incel mindset is a plague, a loser and negative man who wants to drag down anybody who comes close to him. Nofap is full of them avoid them run away from them. They will drag you down. Only when they decide to stop feeling pity about themselves and actually do something to change there is...

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...

For me what i have learned so far: (you may not agree with me but i would love to know your opinion!) It's a journey of mindset programing and it have no end. If you stopped improving yourself and your character you will slip away. If you give up, you will get to a worse point, so keep on...

Hey guys, this is a short one. Recently, I've been having relapses that were different from previous relapses. Long story short, I get into a weird dissociative headspace and it's like I'm watching myself while being myself (if that makes any sense). This led me to do some thinking and I came...

This is so fucking important and I have failed so many times because I didn't treat myself well. Our addiction isn't shameful, it's not something to hide or feel bad about. This will only hinder your progress and make you withdraw yourself from other people. I recently started seeing a therapist...

Hey guys, I've decided to start posting updates here after each significant number of days as a way of tracking my progress and as a tool for support. A little bit of background, I have been trying to quit this addiction for 2 years now and my best streak was 114 days of no porn over lockdown...

My list: - B1 level in Swedish - B1 level in Spanish - Making a 3D model for a client - Coding a simple game - Sharing my experience on YouTube by making a video every week - A Straight A Student - Quitting picking on my acne - Reading 5 books each month - Quitting sugar

When you sit and mediate you focus on your breath so you get dragged along the stream of thought that come to you. I have always thought those thought are your subconscious mind try to communicate with your conscious mind. This is not scientifically proven of course, just my opinion. Your mind...

I don't actually know if mentioning name of the book is allowed here, so I will mention in the comments if it is OK and anybody wants to know. Anyways, here are some keypoints which I noted that I think are useful to know while recovery. 1. Try to notice every decision you make related to your...

2019 turned out to be a huge step forward for me. I developed myself physically and mentally by forming new good habits like working out, reading, meditating and journaling. I also quit or reduced some bad habits, like snacking, sleeping irregularly and procrastinating. The list of improvements...

Hi guys, it's a real joy for me to be here. I am sure I can really benefit from the all the common experiences we're sharing here on the forum and I hope I'll be able to help someone as well. I'm 28 and I have been masturbating with porn for so long in my life that I cannot even remember when...

At the risk of sounding preachy I'm listing here a few key ideas and lessons which I believe were key to my current progress. h I'm only at 20 days but I feel good about my chances. Especially since I think I've wasted half my life because of this evil. One of the key changes in me has been...

So if I have to give advice as someone who has being struggling and isn't actually too successful, well I've reached 85 days once but you know as someone who is still struggling, I'd say soak yourself in the mindset of quitting. I always found that although I wanted to quit, I tried to forget...

Hey everyone first of all thank you to anyone that has viewed my post. Most of all support! (Just a little back story) I am a 27 years old stuck at a rough position. I work third shift and to be honest its wonderful and I sleep pretty good threw out my days after a hard night at work. But most...

What do you think of "Avoiding trigger to all cost" ? Avoiding triggers to me is like saying "I'm not completely sure I want to quit yet. I better take some precautions because I don't trust myself"

Hello, I decided to sign up on nofap to learn more tricks about nofap ect... I try to quit this addiction since 1 year. My hightest streak is 1 week. So I have a problem that block me to progress. When I'm on nofap, I'm very commited to this. For exemple, 2 day ago, I've been on a website who...

I observed something that really needs your advice. Over the past few months I fought this addiction and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I went from a guy who PMOed at least once a day to one that can go weeks without it. But today i relapsed, and it made me think why. If I think about...

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...

While you abstain from PMO, getting rid of thoughts that trigger your urges will help in a faster recovery and make things easier. This is what I do, as soon as a thought comes or as soon as I want to day dream about things, I just stop the thought from going out of hand e.g. the first 2...

AS seen with many posts about loneliness – believe you and me, I have felt rather shitty about being lonely – and had a right downer over being single on numerous occasions. Given the time I have gained more clarity the longer I have done NoFap. Sure, we have days where things are hunky dory...

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...

I believe in out of sight out of mind approach to NoFap. It means no resistance, but utter ignorance. The amount of success you get with this approach depends to extent of solid block of useless triggers. Useless triggers is defined as sexual content of any sort that doesn’t contribute to you...

(Note: This is entirely based on my own experience. May differ from person to person.) Guys, I am few hours short to complete my 100 day NOFAP journey. And I have few important words to say to my fellow Fapstronauts. Regarding benefits, apart from usual health improvements, what I can say with...

So for a few years now I experience that my mindset can switch from being confident, happy, 'hungry for life'-mindset to it's complete opposite.. Doubting, doubting my happiness, my hunger in life, getting lazy... It can switch in 1 day without anything having changed in my life without...

The question sums it all up. Today I was waiting for the train on the platform and saw a very attractive woman passing me by. I won't go into details lest I make anyone on here relapse, but I couldn't get my eyes off her, I was literally standing there watching her as all kinds of...

So here's a story guys, life simply hates me and I hate life too. It's a mutual hate relationship that I can't get out of! I'm unemployed, I have no car, no friends, no girlfriend, I still live with my parents, no money, I stay home doing nothing, I'm addicted to PMO and videogames, I get bored...

So for those of you who saw two threads (one of them was mine, and the other was a different user): there will be, for some of us, a July Fapless Month Challenge. I'm just feeling mind numbed at this point that I PMO-d twice. That's really all I want to say. #NoFapJulyChallenge17

Hey, I'm currently travelling threw the United States for 2 months and mostly live in my car or on camping ground's. I guess nofap is not the biggest problem for me because I'm at day 11 now without forcing myself really and I had multiple days of nofap before too. But when I want to Masturbate...

Hello world. Who am I ? I've been struggling with a porn addiction since I was 14. I'm currently 21 and I'm a student. I tried NoFap for the first time in 2014, and my streak was on 55 days. This is 3 years ago. My journey to reaching 90 days I started NoFap again in January, and the only...

Hey Guys, I'm now on 2nd try of my HardMode day 4 :D I already feel unshakeable confidence raging inside me! I also discover the culprit (Fear, Doubt, and Self limiting beliefs) inside me that hack my brain for a long time and create self sabotage (procrastination, porn & fapping) that ruining...

My life has always been a struggle because of Pornography. I got into it when I was 14. Even when I gave my life to the Lord I still struggled with it even to this day. I have always been athletic since I've been taking Karate, swimming, and jogging all my life, plus I've been involved in...

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...
