109 days down!

Discussion in 'Success Stories' started by iroquoispliskin, Aug 30, 2016.

  1. Today has been 109 days since I viewed P or P subs. I dont ever want to view P ever again! Its been tough. I can't remember when it actually started to get easier, but what helped me alot was viewing the act of viewing P as a moral issue and viewing it would be letting loved ones down. In reality though, it really is letting them down. Viewing P is selfish in my opinion and I remember always feeling ashamed.

    Another thing that helped was keeping busy. I am a single dad with 2 boys, 6 and 4 years, so i always tried to be involved in their lives as much as possible. I also developed good habits. Reading, self-improvement in other areas of life, volunteer work (no joke), changed the way I eat to be more healthy, all of those things seemed to help me.

    MO has been an issue with me and I am continuing to fight off those urges. I had an incident this morning. I know though that I have the strength to do it. I know it doesn't matter how much you fall, but whether you will keep fighting because physically your body can overcome this.

    I appreciate the support I have on NoFap. Thanks everyone.

    Congratulations, templarvisionz! I can relate to the moral motive, of not wanting to let down those who depend on you, even if it's only depending on you for inspiration. Please do enlighten us with anything else you can think of as to how you were able to get so far; any interesting insights you may have picked up during the 109 days. Maybe the act of writing it will help you to reconnect with something you may have forgotten while you were MOing. I can't tell you how much I've learned during a great streak only for my brain to be wiped clean of it like a dry erase board upon relapse, remembering it only months later after reading my journal or during another streak. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

    Absolutely incredible progress. Thank you for the inspiration.

    It's true, once you look what happens in the porn industry, behind the curtain, it's atrocious and to then keep consuming it and contribute to the demand for more is a part of this whole story that should be talked about more.

    I've found that in my own life for lust to have to its root internally. If I can when the self talk turns lustful, redirect the thinking wilfully to something else, and rise above my animalistic nature in that moment i've stumbled upon the realisation that I have control of my life and mind.
