Hi everyone, I've just hit 2 weeks in my first attempt of nofap. The past two weeks have probably been the longest in my life to say the least but i have finally made it to my second target!!! I couldn't feel better right now. My next target is getting to a month. Guys, quitting porn is easy if you never have the time even to think about porn then how can you watch it? No excuses. Don't give in. Become the person you always wanted to be!
Has the urges became more manageable in the 2 week mark? i had to reset today... I don't have a issue with not view porn it's just fapping and the flashback thoughts and fantasies..
Congratulations, that's a huge feat. From what I've experienced, the first 2-3 weeks is the hardest. It does get easier, the thoughts and fantasies comes less and less. You still think about it from time to time, just a lot less.
Defiantly for me! I think it's more my knowing my triggers better and how to avoid them. For example, I have a huge problem with fantasies/ thoughts at night so I go for a run around 9 so I am way more tired and sleep faster instead of laying there for hours, thinking of the videos i''ve watched.
Thanks, so I've only got one week left then huh? haha Might I ask, I see your longest streak is 42 days - what made you relapse?
Fantastic effort and 2 weeks gives you huge momentum to keep going. Just be aware, you have to stay on the path and not let your mind trick you in the past i've been on long streaks and started to think "i don't need to stay on this im good now" and then boom.... relapse.
On day 30 I had a small P relapse, in short I opened up a folder I had never deleted willingly, just because I got curious. Looked at a few of the pictures, just to soothe my curiosity. Fortunately I had stopped, it ended then and there without touching myself. The next few days was hard, the pictures got stuck in my head and I had massive brain fog. Over the period of the remaining days I had started fantasizing, a lot, it all just slowly built up to be honest. On day 42 it was a Saturday morning, it was my off day. I started getting a huge urge, I just couldn't get it out of my head. I took a cold shower and went for a drive, as I was driving I kept debating with myself "...maybe I should do it, I've been having these fantasies for a couple of days now, I should just relieve myself...". I drove for about an hour and had eventually made up my mind, I gave in. I went home, and did my thing. Probably the worst decision I had made in a very long time. I thought to myself, all the hard work I put in, all the urges I had withstood, it felt like it was all for nothing. A light at the end of the tunnel, I've learned from my past mistakes, this was my fault and I knew it. Withstanding PMO is not an easy feat, it's singlehandedly the hardest thing I had ever taken on in my life. But I made a decision that day, that from that time forward I'll dedicate myself to NoFap. I'll try everything in my power to try and endure, if I fall I'll get back up. "Why do we fall?... So that we can learn to pick ourselves up." Good luck to all, together we can do this!
