recovery from pmo

I'm giving this another shot. I made this account a few years ago, I let it be and I'm actually surprised how much time has passed since then. I'm now 32 and have been using pornography, cybersex, phonesex and masturbation fairly compulsively for many years now. I first discovered pornography...

Has anyone here ever gone to therapy for porn addiction? I suppose it would fall under general “addiction” therapy, but it’s not drugs or substances I’m worried about. Although, I have a history with booze as well. But I could always easily drop it because I love exercising, and I always hated...

(Disclaimer: I watched a NoFap video from Hamza who mentioned to share your porn addiction story to someone or on NoFap community to feel better and open up. That's why I am writing this long story it might not be perfect but I'll try my best to explain it in a better way.) I have been bottling...

Hello my fellow fighters! I recently found out about this forum, and I genuinely think having this kind of place is amazing. My two cents to the forum... Unfortunately, I was on porn from my 13-15yo for about 12 years. My first try of breaking from this addiction lasted for almost three months...

Hi guys, i'm 27, addicted to porn since 11 years old, a bunch of porn induced fetishes. I wanted only ask to guys who had a long and hard reboot what do you think about the timing of my withdrawl syntoms, because i'm a little be concerned about it. In fact today i've done 8 weeks completely porn...

After 3-4 bad weeks in July came August in which I had 2-3 weeks that were the best since I started recovering in terms of mood and lust for life. After that I slowly got into a very long period of pretty bad to horrible withdrawals depending on the day, which is turning up to be almost 1 month...

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing fine. I am 28 yo and have been fapping since 11 when I couldn't ejaculate semen but had fun while rubbing my penis. On 3rd March 2021, I decided to do away with with this evil practice. And since then I haven't fapped. At this point I am more interested in...

What’s Up Guys? Was a miracle I re-found this place. I’ve been struggling with the PMO addiction since I was 14. A real typical millennial. Since getting the dial-up as a birthday present I’ve had porn at my fingertips since I could remember and the rest was history. It’s gotten progressively...

Im trying to resist, and i did successfully last night, at the cost of not getting any sleep at all. Ive tried meditations, relaxing sounds, melatonin, bedtime stories, getting out of bed to move around before trying again, and nothing helped. I read on other ppl's posts that they just let the...

Hi all, First off let me introduce myself. I am a 26 year old guy from England. I've been on nofap for approximately 9 years, had a few long streaks 90+ days where I felt immense benefits. However, in recent years I have found my streaks to only last a few weeks at a time and then I end up...

I attempted to find all pages and posts across the internet about the urges and different techniques to kill them. Here they are: ΔUrge killers indexΔ STRONG URGE KILLER: Phoenix Toolbox KILLER TOOLS BIG LIST Some Strategies for Dealing with Urges 7 Killer Ways To Deal With Urges #1 solution to...

I got hooked to porn as a teenager growing up in a conservative family and religious environment. I didn't realize years of watching porn will eventually destroy my marriage. I always believed the lie that I had it under control and that I can stop it whenever I want. I was even able to abstain...

Hey all, I should've done this a long time ago, but here's my story of recovery. Throughout college, I had what might be considered in modern terms a reasonably "healthy" sexual balance between real-life experiences and porn/masturbation. I had a couple of long term sexual relationships with...

Getting sharp pain on my ankle specially when i woke up in the morning after that it goes away. Anyone getting the same? Is is a phase of recovery? Please comment.

I stumbled upon this The 14 Step Program for Nofap. The 2014-step program from NoFap. 1. There will come a time where you will want to edge. Don’t. 2. If you think it’s easy, you’re either doing it wrong, or you’re in the wrong neighbourhood. Don’t let anyone fool you – this shit is hard...

Porn is an addiction. The studies are clear on the effects of porn on the brain. So if porn is an addiction how can it be stopped? It's simple: the same way people cut out other addictions, getting rid of all the substance and utilizing the buddy system. Ways this can be done are installing porn...

This is my second thread on my NoFap journey and I am happy to share how I feel about my journey so far on my 21 days of NoFap. Pls keep in mind that i do not talk about the benefits of a specific parts of of my porn addiction. instead, I am expressing my pure hate for porn which I find to be...

Hello everyone, My journey to quit porn and reclaim my life begins on 5/7/19. I began to use porn almost 7 years ago as a result of developing depression in my teenage years. I’ve used it almost everyday since I started, and for years it became my primary coping mechanism for whatever life...

Hi, i am very new to this site. I was a porn edict a for more than 10 years. I was watching videos of feet fetishism and femdom domination. I tried a lot of ways to come out of it but i couldn’t. All the ways I tried worked only for a couple of days or a week. Finally i saw a YouTube video about...

I'm going pretty strong, but lately I've been getting pretty strong urges, centered around memories of past sex encounters. Is it considered relapsing to fap to these? Will this ruin my recovery? Very Interested to hear from anyone who is dealing with this too, or has in the past.

Day 1. I already did PMO earlier today but I have chosen to start this challenge and end it all for good. starting from 9am today I will be counting on a 24hrs basis.

When I surf the internet I see pop up ads of ladies in bikini, softcore images but I would always quickly get rid of it. Porn is seen everywhere anyways billboards, on taxis in movies as long as you don't SEEK these type of materials online via browsing or visiting a porn website... its not a...

Hi there! Today it was a really strange day, It was the first time when I remembered a wet dream. (I remember only < 1% of all dreams I have in total) I woke up today at 06:00 being half awake and I fell to sleep immediately, but I got a wet dream. Because I still was half awake, I tried to...

Hello everyone! I have been going through a really problematic part of my life. It's been 4 years since I started PMOing. The first 2 were the ones where I had dived deep into this addiction. I couldn't stand a day without this "drug". With it came shame and desperation. Then, after these 2...

Hey friends i am just curious because the main reason I relapse is because I stare at a girls bum or boobs on tv or YouTube for to long.. I just need everybody’s help. Has anybody had this issue? I know even people eat unhealthy and they say to themselves “might as well relapse and start fresh...

Hello everyone, im 34 years old and I've been masturbating myself since I was like 14 or so, everyday till a week ago. Im scared now, I cant get it up when Im with my gal or any other women, it happened to me in the past, or using a condom. I need to mastrubate and penterate in and an out like...

I see this as a million dollar question, and I have come up with a simple formula that most likely works with all. Standard 90 days challenge may be a good starting point for many, but one size does not fit all. Each person varies due to his exposure to porn. It is quite likely that many people...

The following is translated from China’s Jiese forum. Why write this thread? Because my emotions and feelings are too strong! I feel light emitting from the bottom of my heart, fillled with compassion. Moreover I got bigger calves, and my complexion improved a lot. I felt a lot of emptiness...

Greeting comrades! I am new to the tribe but I have been aware of NoFap for a year now. My longest streak was 270 days, I remember how energetic and wild I felt but after dealing with multiple rejections recently, it has come to my attention that I am on the brink of relapsing. As a matter of...

Hi I'm Randall. An 18 year old senior in high school trying to overcome his struggle with porn addiction. It all started last year once I started finding content that "made me relieved." The first few times I did it I got this satisfied high and wanted more of it. During this time I had hit...

As I try to come to terms with my addiction, I have found that watching documentaries about the porn industry has been a big help. In the past two nights I have watched the Netflix documentary Hot Girls Wanted and an episode from the follow-up series. By seeing what a harsh and often brutal...

I was so happy to hear talking terry crews of how he had an addiction to PMO, im so glad that this is getting more awareness. I don't know what you think but this is still a taboo topic in society. It's difficult to say out loud you have a porn addiction, because of fear of how people would...

Hi all, my current streak is somewhere in the days of 25-30. I have a counter app but I refuse to check as I feel it would be best to focus on other things. Obviously the first couple of weeks were whatever but then from days 18-23/24 I started feeling great, confident, happy, feeling like I...

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...

Thank you to whoever takes their time to read this, These past two weeks have been hard, but these next two weeks and beyond will be easy as heck. This post will be what success will look like for me and how I also want it to look like for you. I am in no way saying how you should live your...

All...Bemore here hoping to hear some positive responses. Going to keep this short and sweet. For a while now I have been looking for a way to discuss this (with full knowledge of this site) “condition”, I’ll call it, to find a way and cope. Naturally I looked in places only I wanted to find...

I remember watching porn about 12 or 13 years old I would do it once a week but as the days passed I've become more addicted and started watching it once or more a day. But l thought I should finally stop PMOing and reboot and have a better life.

those of you who are married and had a porn addiction... please help me understand if u felt remorse... complete and utter regret and pain for hurting ur spouse... pain to the point that you never wanted to associate urself in porn again... if u did... when did that happen for u?

I reached over 9 months PMO free :emoji_crown: I am very proud of this accomplishment Some quotes I wanna share with you guys :emoji_blush: that i found on the app R Tribe where I write everyday before going to sleep how my day has been and in more details my feelings: "He who say he can and...

I've seen talk of some people going 10, 20, 30 days hard mode? I wanted to know what does that exactly mean? No sex on top of no P or M?

I've been going through a few things in my mind recently and have some questions for people who have been doing NoFap for a long time now. Here goes: 1. How long do flatlines last? My dick feels like it's been dead for ages now and I'm starting to worry if my libido will ever come back. 2. Has...
