recovering

Hi everyone, I've decided to publicly embark on the journey to recovery from porn addiction and overcoming it forever. I will be documenting my progress and learnings here every week. I want to start by sharing my story, my learnings, my why and my protocols in the hopes that this inspires or...

Hey everyone! I hope you guys are doing well. It’s been about five days since I joined the community. The day I joined, I challenged myself to a PMO challenge for a week. I didn’t go for a straight 30-day challenge because I’ve been a severe PMO addict for the past four years. I used to PMO...

Hello everyone. I am happy to the part of this community.Been thinking to join this community for a while but life came in between and was unable to join . Now as my name suggest, you all can understand i want to quit my porn addiction and live my life to the fullest again.I know we all are...

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...

It's been 10 days I have not watched any adult content, not even anything remotely related to that. Hard mode no pmo, to put it into nofap jargon. I'm really happy about that. Although I was not very happy these last couple 3 days because I entered into a flatline and had no motivation. But...

Currently, I was traveling in train and My eyes went into other guy's phone He was scrolling short videos and His feed was full of sensual stuff. I turned horny and urges were so strong. But I told myself that Masturbation is never an option Urges,triggers will come and go Just like We see...

I am able to control the urges everytime. But Erection comes in no time If I dare to fantasize the wrong things. I am better and becoming better. It has become easier now to focus on other things. But erection makes it harder to stay on track.

Stress is one of the reasons that we do fap just to reduce stress by releasing dopamine hormones inside brain. We think that we can use Fapping to overcome other problems anxiety but this decision makes our condition worse We get more stress after that Whenever you are stressed Listen Upbeat...

One thing which I have understood is that Urges are the strong thoughts for particular things If we can replace these thoughts with same intensity thoughts We can win everytime in battle with urges For example When I use to feel bored in past , I used to scroll memes and reels on Instagram...

I really want to get rid of this habit of doing fap but One thing, which I can control is watching porn . I do watch porn only when I masturbate. Other than That, I don't watch porn. I had left masturbation addiction in past and I was not introduced to porn till then. This was the major reason...

Hey Y'all, Unfortunately I watched too much porn and masturbated too much which caused me to lose my morning wood and some erection strength. Over the last 7 days I havent watched any porn, but I masturbated once. However, over the last two days I have felt as if I am not fully clearing my...

Day 2 in nofap Day 87 in my recovery. I had isolated recovery without any app or any one to encourage me to move forward or take any positive step . I can’t lie I passed through so hard time and I was fighting my sexual thoughts a lot by myself but here I’m now . Everything is worth it . I...

this is a long post, so bear with me for the typos if you find any. From all the good things that I have read, there is a connections between these 3: first let's call it "Real nofap", SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION (for porn addiction) and AVRT. Let's first start with SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION because I remember its philosophy...

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...

I actually cried for us. I was reading some posts of traumatized people here and this video with the diaries of a porn actress was the culmination. All these poor people in the sex industry. Male actors whose lives are just their sex organ. These women used as objects as.. public toilets...

Hello everyone. So first off let me say that I am experiencing a degree of joy as I write this, simply because I am writing this. I am thankful for this community that is already here, willing to be transparent and humble, willing to listen, willing to offer help without judgment. So I have...

Hi guys. I wanted a genuine answer. Whether or not NoFap really works and improves your erections, libido and feelings of numbness. The inability to feel emotions. Please tell.

Tomorrow I hit 30 days porn free. I just wanted to check in and share my experience so far in hope it could help others with motivation. While I've gone through periods of drastitically reducing porn use in the past, this is the first time I'll ever reach any where close to 30 days. The final...

Hello to whoever’s reading, it’s very strange to open up about an addiction, I relapsed after 24 days of abstinence and the longest I could go was around 30 days, I’ve been addicted to pornography for many years and I’ve tried very hard to battle this addiction, whenever I relapse it feels like...

I have been doing nofap for about 5 months now with my longest streak ending at 84 days. Overall, I feel like I have made great progress. Prior to that I was doing PMO almost everyday (sometimes multiple times a day) for about 5 years. Here are two things I want to know: -When will I stop...

Does anyone else feel like a completely different person after getting a good streak going? I keep thinking back to my non-sober state and can't believe how the lust fueled, sex obsessed side of me used to be and it just feels totally alien to me now. Now that the lust is under control life is...

Hello everyone, my name is Redmonkey54. Currently 27 years of age, male and ready. Ready for what you may ask? For this addiction nonsense to stop. I have been heavily into porn since my middle school years. It slowly started with Girls Gone Wild infomercials that plastered the late night...

Hi there. Name is Steve So am new here. Found nofap last year sometime and have been trying to implement it into my life. When I first started managed to get in a streak of 20days or so. Since then the longest I've had is two weeks. I have also recently developed a cam habit. I really need to...

I'm in middle of doing my office wok or learning a new skill, didn't even come across a stimulating ad or even thought. Then all of a sudden, an urge pops up in my mind. Why does this happen and what should i do?

Hope everyone is doing good I would like to know the opinions of more experienced members about how much time it took for you to really heal from all the mental and physical damage porn and masturbation caused you. I have been addicted to this shit since I was like 13 and I am 27 now so I am...

Wow! It’s been a little while since I’ve been on here. So, if you aren’t familiar with my previous posts, I’m 17 and I was addicted to transwoman/sissy porn for a while. About a year ago, I decided it was time to change, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. When I first tried to quit, I...

Hello Guys, i was thinking about buying some Motivational Posters to fill my Room with and make it look better, and one Poster i thought about getting is one of a Hot Women (from behind, like you see her from the back) with Dumbbells working out. That Poster is supossed to come as some...

So I’m 25 and have been using porn since I was very young. Could never get it up with a girl, started a reboot and met a girl during, we had sex about 15 days into the reboot and are now dating and have been having sex regularly for almost two months. A couple times a week. My erections are not...

After you made your mind to quit this addiction, how did you begin to see the porn industry? How did you feel about the really overt ties the porn industry shares with human trafficking, and the fact that thousands of young impoverished girls end up being exploited in this business? How do you...

hii, Thanks for the NoFap Community for the support and knowledge for every aspect of little things to improve will power and self faith. when i was 16-17 year old started watching pornographic and reading erotic stories that was the blunder mistake i was did in my life that lead to me shyness...

I've made it almost a week for the first time in years and boy has it been a challenge. It's almost as if the world is trying to throw everything it has at me to get me to fail. Plus at night, whether awake or asleep, I feel like I'm on the verge of ejaculation....it's kind of weird. I know...

I don't watch porn and I haven't done any sexual relationship since a year. Ive masturbated twice today after abstaining for 4 months "a new record". Iam willing to quit it for Good but my question is how much time will it take for my body to recover from it? Im a runner so i have to run almost...

Hello, I’ve been trying nofap and struggled massively Recently. However something that has charged me again is realising I have death grip. Or rather the worry that I do. Sensitivity is low. Far too low. So I need to sort this. Anyone ever had deathgrip? Has it gone? How long did it take? Was...

Anyone else have wild mood swings during their reboot process? A lot of odd/debilitating thoughts are occupying my mind, and yesterday I was letting them get to me to the point it was fogging my mind at work, making me want to break down and cry in front of others.

During my recent recovery, I often find myself randomly staring off into space. It's as if my mind goes completely blank for a few seconds. Has anyone else experienced something like this? If so, does it go away?

Hello, I have been doing PMO for 7 years. I am 20 and started at 13 The first 4 years it was regular P, then for 1 year it was more extreme P, at least 1 times per day (it could go to 2 or 3 sometimes). The last 2 years I progressively stopped watching regular P, I was watching clothed women...

Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to find out how one could make the lives of Porn Addicts a lot easier. I myself am a recovering porn addict and know exactly how everything feels from MY perspective. From the very first release, to the first time I realized I was an addict, to the multiple...

It's something I noticed over 2 years ago. I was at my peak in health and wellbeing. Had several partners with stamina that served me and them quite well. But somewhere along the lines, I started preferring to stay inside. A sense of complacency took over that kept making me feel like it is...

Hi, I'm into the second month of No Pmo, and whenever I get aroused, the end of shaft of my penis pains. Can someone please explain?

This is from an APP I just downloaded, "Change your thinking, change your life", and I'm sure you guys will like it and find it useful too. In case you download it, Chapter 1 is longer than this, so don't skip to chapter 2. Hope you like it as much as I did, keep going strong. 1 Chapter...

Hey guys! I’m 19. Currently attending BYU. I’m LDS (a Mormon) and a male. I’ve been struggling with PMO for years. Like a lot. I believe it’s gotten quite excessive. I’ve tried to quit. But never do. Have I gone to my Bishop? No. I’m too guilty at this point and afraid. Anyone know about it...

My first exposure to online porn was at the age of 9 while staying after school for tutoring, needless to say at this age I found it by accident. It was a naked woman in a sexy pose, thankfully nothing more extreme. I find it ironic that just after 10 years after that day, I would loose my...

Good day brothers! Below is translated from China's Jiese forums, enjoy! May 5 2016 streak broken on day 86 This time I made a common mistake among brothers. Which is gaming addiction, at the time I was addicted to league of legends. This crippled me for several years. From age 11 to 15, I...

Hi guys Been on the website a couple of days now. I have disclosed things about myself here and it feels good but at the same time guilt shame and fear still keeps creeping up on me. I'm ok with not jerking off and avoiding porn. But every time I ask a girl out. I don't know if I'm doing it...

So it' nearly a month that I've started my new streak and today's urges are crazy!!! I do have a boner most of the times and the flashbacks of porn keep flooding my mind. Still I managed to control them... I laid down on the floor with my back facing the ground and observed my thoughts and...

Im new to nofap so I just want to know if what I am experiencing is normal. Around a month ago I stared feeling less attracted and love for my girlfriend of almost 3 years. After doing some research I came to the conclusion it was the fact that I have been watching porn 3-5 times a day for over...

First I’ll try to tell about what needs to be known, guess maybe too long but really hope can get some suggestions. So I first masterbated when I was lik 11, it was just orgasm, without any porn or pictures, I don’t even think I was thinking about anything, I just liked the way it felt, the...

Hi guys! I’m interested in the rate of dopamine receptor regeneration. I’m already quite a long time without pmo but I still feel the lack of willingness to take different activities and lack of pleasure from different things like music, etc. Is already much better than a few months ago, but...

Hi guys, This is gonna be a little bit of a long one, I was exposed to pornography at around age 12-13 and it has controlled my life ever since (I'm almost 20). Family life was rough and I used it as an escape and it slowly got worse and worse. I began watching things that I knew I shouldn't be...

So it's been some months since I started NoFap and holy grail I'm glad I did.At first it kinda feel energetic but at the same time I can't control my hands on my dinggy dong.But Now I don't know how but I'm like on my 40+day and it feels amazing I feel good,I have a lot of energy and my workouts...

Good day all. My name is Liam, and this is my first ever post in the NoFap community. Just wanted to say "Hi", and share some of my story. I am 31yo, straight, white, male, and I have been addicted to sex for almost 2 years. I don't say that lightly. I took multiple tests that verified the...

Hey, I’m not sure if I posted this in the right thread but I’m hoping someone can potentially help me on here. So here it goes.. I was married to a porn addict until about 2 years ago when we seperated and then finally divorced..my marriage with this was hell, struggling to help him overcome it...

It has been 6 months since I found out about my husbands porn addiction.... my husband says he is not watching it anymore and does not have the need to watch it.... I try and trust him and hope he’s being truthful.... however I feel like my husband has no desire to be with me sexually... ( he...

(It all ties together at the end and belongs in this section I swear.) Squeamish warning!!! Big time!!! WARNING! Final warning. I had a dream last night I was walking in the woods alone, fell into a hole and my leg had a worm hanging out of it when I pulled it out. I the. looked in the hole...

Hi folks, Not so long ago I wrote a thread about my idea of trying a progressive approach in crushing PMO, consisting in quitting P and M one at the time focusing on a long period recovery, as cold turkey never really worked for me (u can find original thread here...

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...

I need to know there is still hope. Going through puberty, I would often wake up with rock hard morning wood. I started PMO at 14 and I am now 31 trying to reboot. I have not had morning wood for many years. I don't have ED, just no morning wood. Is there anyone out there who has experienced...

Feels good to be back and trying again to reboot I relapsed many times in the past but I feel I can do it this time.

Even though I'm only 3 or 5 days without PMO I feel good already nothing better than the feeling when you win against an urge.

so my husband has been an addict for over 20 years... and apparently he’s managed to stop from the past two months... no urges nothing... am I missing something here? How can he suddenly be able to live without this addiction he so badly couldn’t let go of?

my Fiancé is a PA. He came clean after I fought it out of him tat he’d been jerking it every day. The fight happened because I’m sexually and physically unsatisfied. I got tired of begging him to touch me. I left and stayed at a friends house for about a week until I was ready to face him. That...

This morning i relapse but instead of giving up and playing my violen i decided to force myself to have a good day. and crazy enough it worked. i joked with co workers, flirted with females, and even caught this young lady starring at me (hopefully my zipper wasn't down) but what hurt me more...

This is only day 4, and now i'm at home.. where I grew up. And I can't even think straight. I've been helping decorate a christmas tree, but I had to come up here just so I could shower. I feel like a 13 year old boy (no offense 13yr old boys ha) amd feeling like this.. I changed from PMO to...

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...

As a business student in college, I wonder if Blue Coat knows of the loyal psychographic men out there that use their product to help them overcome PIED. All thanks to @Awakening123 I've been able to very well find hope in myself with this program. It has allowed me to sort of make a game out of...

Hey everyone, I've been going two days since my last relapse but I've noticed that in these two days the idea of searching porn, masturbating, or just getting aroused in general was no longer something I began to crave anymore. I've gotten to the point on where if I browse and view porn I don't...

I am new to this website. I had been watching fetish porn consistently from the age of around 13 up until 2 years ago though i did relapses a few times i am 26 going on 27 in December so most of my life and by watching porn it was a daily thing often spending quite some time online. getting...

Hi, Today was my worst relapse ever, i went completely out of control. (went "bananas") So i'm putting my money on this site to somehow help me. For a very long time in my life now i have thought of myself as a weak and useless (s)cumbag. Feel bad, tired, depressed, used to be social but that...

I have been trying this for the past two months, and definitely making a lot of progress, especially with abstaining from O. But I have found that the compulsion to "peek" at P and sometimes just quick M while avoiding O is so strong, and I have been desperately trying to figure out strategies...

Hey guys :( I started abstaining from PMO 9 days ago. I experienced wet dreams on my 6&7th day and on the eighth day I really tried hard, like real HARD not to masturbate after I watched porn. I also went jogging every morning since I started abstaining. Today the same scenario happened as...

A year ago I was trying to stop especially my sex addiction. I remember myself sitting on my bed and trying to find the mental and physical strenght to quit I had questions. I had questions since 7 years ago when I started with my addictions. Why me and why I ended up often having sex like in a...

I am giving up porn (a lifetime habit since puberty) and trying to decide on a healthy approach to masturbation and sexual fantasy going forward. A series of 'incidents' with the wife catching me, or finding evidence of, PMOing have occurred over the last couple of years, and although it has...

Day1. I will be pretty open with this, nothing to be ashamed of since we are all families here. I started PMO three years ago I have tried stopping on my own different numbers of times but I failed. But with the help of this community, with my mind made up, with the knowledge gain, with me...
