22 days without porn. Life has become hell

Stay strong!

 

I feel you. I'm on day 16 today and I'm feeling the same.

 

What's your longest streak so far?

 

I was able to reach 42 days before so far that was the best and I want to stay longer if possible for as long as I can.

 

Then go longer than that.

 

You are in the worst part of the reboot. It should ease up in a few days. Think of it as a purge or detox.

 

Then find motivation there can be a lot to discover.

 

Just think of all the benefits nofap can give you if you just stay on track.

 

Yep I hope it will give you driven force to stay strong.

 

It's all in your head. If you continue telling yourself that you're weak,tired and without motivation, you will fail. Believe me, I know what you're going through but before you relapse, ask yourself - how will I feel the moment after I O ? If you think you're feeling low now, just think how terrible you'll feel after a relapse. Abstaining is a steep, upward climb but relapsing is a leap into the abyss.

 

I know what you mean. I'm going through the same thing as I speak. I'm actually thinking to myself, "You know, I'm only on a seventeen day streak. What does it really matter if I relapse? I'll just start again tomorrow."

But I'm not going to relapse. The reason is that I know where it will lead. I won't start again tomorrow. I'll probably binge for a full week or so, and stop only when I've gotten to the point where I feel utterly worthless and incapable of accomplishing even the smallest task.

The unfortunate reality is that I've spent entirely too much of my life in that exact place, and I'm sick of it. So instead of relapsing, I'm going to get up and walk my dogs for an hour. They'll love the exercise, and it'll help to clear my mind and remind me of all the benefits that abstaining from PMO will bring. After returning home, I'm going to cook dinner and then spend the evening studying Mandarin. Once I've completed those tasks, I'll feel good about myself for having made the decision to complete tasks which may be more difficult but will bring a lasting sense of reward rather than taking easy options which lead not only to immediate gratification but also to long-term regret.

So that's what I'm going to do, and I hope you'll also be able to commit to following the path of lasting rewards.

 

You can do it!!!!! If not, use the motivation for your future girlfriend. The benefits will be so worth this! Don't give up based on few seconds of dopamine pleasure

 

That would be a good way. There are so many negative effects of PMO.

Suffering from this addiction is a good example
