strength

Today I have had the problem of reaching out to long lost friends/ people I know and asking them if they want to have a sexual encounter. I know that this may not be the worst thing as I feel is better than resorting to pornography, masturbation. Fuck but it makes me feel slightly embarrassed...

Jack Bostock plays for the Dolphins in the NRL. A few weeks ago when his team played the Titans and I thought he showed great self-control and strength. His team were losing bad and he dropped the ball. One of the Titan players got all up in his face and started mocking to for dropping such a...

The last 7-Years have been very trying. My husband and I have experienced an extremely difficult yet blessed 7-year journey in overcoming our abusive childhoods together and the abuse from our family systems that resulted in early porn addiction and trauma for both of us, which our family...

I think the pieces of success are within me-within us- to be successful at what we choose. Though the level of success may vary, I believe that we are enough. In middle school, I was bullied terribly. I never felt any true affection from the opposite sex and that hurt me. I found solace in...

A few days ago I read a very interesting thread by @Icewarrior (highly recommended!) on meditation exercises to help during rebooting. Since I practice meditation I found it inspiring. The following exercise was listed: Exercise 3: Every time an urge to pmo arises, place your attention on your...

Hey This is not my first text on the forum - the first was a response to the user's entry wcyd - he also starts another fight today. I included some information about myself in my answer, don't be angry, but let me include some of it in the current post. I come from Poland, I am 30 years...

I know 15 days nofap is not big deal for some people but I don't even remember when did I accomplish 15 days nofap challenges in past months. I will notify myself after every single day passes with NoFap. This is a challenge . Does any one want to join me ????? For me it's DAY 1

You have the power. I often felt I could never overcome PMO. I was addicted for 1.5 decades, from 13yo til now. But now im convinced I can do it. You may think you dont have the power, but thats just cuz you haven’t figured out how to use it yet. You’re like a prepubescent superhero learning to...

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...

Hello guys! I'm here with a interested topic to discuss. I did great for a month expect two night falls and unfortunately failed on 33 days streak because of my stupid friend. I noticed clear positive changes in physical, mental health. Like strength and energy in body and clear active mind. My...

You know how they say the brave are the lucky. Ive learned recently that overthinking just causes you to procrastinate and delay the stuff that needs to be done. Break up the contact with the people who you cant stand and dont Need, go out and run, train your body, start playing a sport, love...

Greetings to my fellow heroes and NoFappers! I want to ask for help regarding an problem, I haven't quite been aware of till I started NoFap (btw today is my 3rd week in hard mode and it was the best decision in my life!): I noticed that I really cannot express my emotions, especially love and...

Does NoFap increase testosterone like people say? I'm about 3 to 4 weeks in and have noticed at the gym instead of struggling to curl 55 lb dumbbells which is what I'm trying to get past to graduate to 60 lbers. I've noticed even when I reach the point where my body tries to stop my mind has a...

Whether it's time, reps, or sets, keep a count or tally. It's how I got to 1000 pushups a day or literally hundreds of pullups. Not all at once, but in sets with a minute or two in between. I mark it on paper. Then week by week I want to increase the tally marks. Before I knew it, I saw how...

So as far as the title for this thread goes. I am wondering if it is even possible to unlock you're Hidden Potential. This relates to a Japanese animation called DragonballZ as achieving a sense of heightened awareness and limited energy. I'm not sure how to describe it more.. I guess it is...

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...

This is the beginning. My story has been one of many trials and failures thus far. This time however, I'm going to try harder. Using the very tool (the internet) that caused me to become so enveloped with darkness I plan to take the steps to reverse the damage. I am thankful that NoFap exists...

Rules: As many pushups as you can do in 2 minutes As many pullups as you can do in 2 minutes As many situps as you can do in 2 minutes As many pistol squats as you can do in 2 minutes (1 min each leg) For 30 days. You can take 2 days of your choosing off a week. Each workout counts as one day...

Hi there, I'm new here. After many years of addiction and some months of hesitation of how to deal with it, I started reading about the topic and decided to take action to initiate a new life. That is why I uninstalled all my apps, cancelled the accounts and subscribed here, right now...

Every once in a while I'll find a quote that resonates with me, motivates me, and reminds me of why I'm here and why overcoming my struggles is worth the effort. Reading over these can help me find the strength to push past the temptations and desires and find victory. I figured I would share...

Eighth day of Nofap. I wrote this following post to let my fellow fapstronauts know that, if they are feeling this way, they are not alone. Sad, lonely, angry, depressed, anxious, feeling ugly, unconfident, broken, worthless, like a failure, or any word for that matter that can describe the...

Hello, I’ve been fellow struggler and reader for a long time. Posting for the first time. I am 30 years old. PMO has been a problem for me for a long time maybe since 15 years, recent years involving dirtier imagery as time passes by. I first realized the problem about 6 years ago, when...

Compromises should be made for strategic design Deny information to your foes/opponents Only fight when the chances of victory are in your favour Create a favourable situation ahead of time and before you begin Let your subordinate leaders lead Concealed in strength is weakness, and in weakness...

It has been 5 weeks that I have been P.M.O free. I wrote my success story a few days ago. I'm walking on the sunshine, I'm feeling great. But an hour ago, someone tried to take all that away from me. I received a friend request on Facebook from someone I did not know. A beautiful women whose...

Continuing on from my first philosophical submission to this forum, I have begun to read through the works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca. I will read ten to twenty letters each day, and submit relevant and thought-provoking lines from the tutor to Nero below so that they too might offer insight on...

Hello everyone! Yesterday, I discovered a great app for habits, called Habitica. Now I suppose, that many of us are into gaming, but even if not, this app is something very usefull. It is like a game, you design your own avatar and start at Level 1. But what is the point of it and how can it...

I'm curious to hear about others' experiences with physical changes in your bodies while rebooting. Do you think the changes people sometimes report are legitimate? Have you experienced any of the following changes? How far into your streak did you start to notice them? Which ones do you NOT...

Just 26 days ago before I joined his incredible movement; I was eating junk, using tons of a substance that I will not state specifically. I had no confidence and I always felt angry. There are still bad days, but keeping count of the good days is quintessential to self improvement. Instead of...

Here am I again, sitting in front of the laptop trying to record my relapse at about 1:44 am in the night or morning. I am tired AF, hungry AF and afraid AF not of being alone but someone in my house waking up in the middle of night and seeing me cramming in the laptop late night giving them the...

Hey guys, I have been on this streak for 90+ days Monk Mode. But something happened today while I was watching a tv series online. I was 5 min into the second episode of Billions when suddenly a sex scene came. I was startled but also it did pique my interest. In less than 5 seconds I buffered...

Hey everyone, Reached my initial goal of 90 days Hard Mode. This took more than 90 days though and a couple of smaller streaks, binge MO after every streak, mood swings, depression, anxiety (which is still there..i guess some of it should be there),restlessness, physical pain, flatlines...

Alright guys! It’s No-Jizz November. You know what that means. No fapping. No porn. One month. If you did it the first day or two, don’t worry about it. Just try and do the month. Who is with me?

Hi, guys! I just want to share with you all a really good workout program I tried. The best thing about it that it does NOT require an expensive gym membership, you can easily do it at home and it is the most effective workout I have ever done. It is called German Volume Training, some people...

"So if you fall, do not judge. Do not give your Judge the satisfaction of turning you into a victim. No, be tough with yourself. Stand up and make the agreement again." -Don Miguel Ruiz, (The Four Agreements)

Ok, so I'm gonna start by saying that I have never had a decent streak. The longest streak I can remember is *drum roll*.... 8 days. Which is pathetic. But nonetheless I will usually go 5-7 days without PMO or at least P. Lately though (since Friday) i can't make it past 2 days. Friday was my...

Catholic male, married with 3 children on earth and 2 in heaven. Devoured by P and M since age 12. Wanting to heal a tumultuous life filled with PMO. I am starting to see how my problem with PMO influenced or created some other problems in my life like; when I was adulterous and verbally and...

Hello NoFap! Dead Ed here, with a special announcement... and challenge for the BRAVE! Given the connection that a LOT of users get skin conditions, mainly sore painful boils, due to chronic masturbation, I have taken it upon myself to study this phenomenon and make myself a guinea pig in this...

This is now day 12 of no PM. The first few days I felt excited and positive, now all I can think of is sex. It's driving me mad, I'm feeling depressed and anxious and all I can think of is watching porn, masturbating or visiting a massage parlor in the hope that they will jerk me off. I did...

As a user of PMO, I know the side effects of this has caused me to withdraw from activities like meeting with friends, family, and even simple conversations. Things I've started I wouldn't follow through with. Seeing how my low confidence causes me to doubt even the most simple things, I've...

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...

To say the past few days have been hard would be a vast understatement. As our march break has just started, I have started having a lot more free time. As a result, old habits started to manifest again and the boredom to far urges. However, I made a promise to myself and I intend to keep it...

This beautiful woman, who enticed me to see. She beckons with beauty, desire so deep. A gorgeous attraction that does call to your heart. Drawing you near, with a hypnotic nuance. Oh she is lovely, and comely, and wise. Her air so mysterious, lucid, alive. This presence surrounds her...

Hello everyone, I'm an 18 year old guy, and I've had enough of this 'addiction' that has developed over the years, mainly due to me being a sort of recluse. I spend most of my time nowadays on the computer, and the urge just creeps out of nowhere. The longest time I kept resisting was about...

Hello everyone. I have started controlling my habit of jacking off every day after i felt pain in my lower back. Please help me out..

One of the reasons I started NoFap is the clam that it would have health and strength benefits. There are plenty of anecdotal story's about it giving people unbelievable benefits, so I figured I'd throw my story out there. I have been working out for about three years now, starting as a big time...

Hi everyone I signed up last year and tried a lot things since then. I don't want to talk alot about my mistakes and failures and just move on. I used to masturbate everyday. Sometimes 6-7 times a day. Sometimes just one time but it was pretty much daily. Two weeks ago I had my longest streak...
