    What one can do to eliminate the feeling of Loneliness when alone?

    Some people enjoy their life at free time, some stuck in past or can't express their needs and feelings. What can one do to live life at fullest? We are not always alone our brain is always working; we can't lie to our self's.

    How do you cope with stress with little free time?

    If You Got Tinnitus (Ringing In Ears) Or Had It Amplified During Reboot, How Long Until It Abated?

    So in my latest journal posting I remarked how late last night, my tinnitus that I've had since I was a teenager flared up big-time to the point I can now hear it during the day above the volume of other things (normally I could only hear it during silence). I'm not sure if it's due to stress...

    High energy people

    When I started NoFap (about 17 days ago), I got a surge of life for the first week that honestly put me on cloud 9. I felt confident, vibrant, no anxieties or stress, I woke up early, no tiredness whatsoever through out the day. I was 'High Energy' as Donald Trump would say. Fantastic. But since...

    Dealing with Loneliness and Stress

    Hello, I am 20 years old and I have been masturbating since around 13. I have energy problems due to decreased adrenal capacity and that usually triggers my relapses. Throughout HS I would use A LOT of porn but since getting to college last fall I have been really trying to stop. I have...

    Feeling like you gotta piss but you don't, can't sit down, sit still

    Hey guys, i been on this journey since September 2016, haven't had any reboots since and don't plan to. But I've been dealing with physical issues that seem to get worse as time goes on. It's a feeling like I have to piss but I don't. This creates issues like not being able to sit down because...

    Joined cause I don't want porn to give me a limp dick

    It is as simple as that! I do not want to fuel this addiction to the point where I am unable to satisfy my girlfriend. Of course, it is not so easy because I keep relapsing...or how did you call it here, retention? This addictive behavior must have a cause and I have narrowed it down to the fact...

    Excessive Masturbation

    Hi everyone, I'm a 23-year-old male from Peru. The reason why I wanted to be part of this group and movement is my concern about the possibility of porn addiction and excessive masturbation. I'm a consultant and I work at the university, but the constant after hours, the fact that I don't enjoy...

    Can't Stop Looking

    So today is day 90 for me of no PMO and 155 days no P although I did slip up and make mistakes but I never went to look at real P. Obviously it's been tough along the way and its all been a process of learning. I do still get urges but they're no where near as strong now and I'm able to deny the...

    Losing Motivation To Abstain and Reboot

    This is going to be a long one because I am explaining my psychology regarding nofap in detail. Before I start, let me make it clear that I totally support the NoFap cause and have been doing so for the past 1 year. I do understand that excessive masturbation and porn causes a plethora of...

    Parkinson's-like symptoms???

    I lost another battle again today. Spent money on porn and masturbated. Afterwards, my body went in this sense of stress that caused body parts to twitch or move on their own. I am not an expert of what happens in the brain due to YEARS of unhealthy sexual habits, but has anyone else...

    Quickly losing motivation, how long can I keep going?

    I don’t know why I’m making this thread, and I don’t really know what to expect as a reply, but I just want to get my thoughts off my chest. It’s been ages since I last made a thread and I haven’t changed since my last one. Okay, so my year started off fine. Got a streak of about 7 days...

    50 days deep and battling hard

    I'm starting to realise that the streak has very little to do with how well you recover. Fighting this addiction isn't about numbers, it's about mentally fighting that demon within and physically trying to better yourself to be stronger than the old you. I thought being halfway to my goal would...

    Ways to keep cool under social pressure

    I have social anxiety issues. There are areas in my life where I can cope with challenges, remain calm - even under pressure, and am generally composed. There are other areas in my life where things turn out quite differently. For me that is primarily interaction with women - the more...
