Hello everyone I really did not imagine I can come this far! If you check my signature, it's around 6 months actually, with just 2 cases of light PMO around the 2nd month (at the time I was struggling with intense depression and anxiety). I really didn't think this was possible if I didn't have a spouse, or some other way to let out, but man! Was I wrong! This has been the BEST YEAR of my entire LIFE so far! Thanks to God. I have been trying to work on this addiction since almost when I got into it (like 7 years ago). Last year, the frequency was reduced to just around once a month. But I still know I had to do better. I had a 2 month Streak around December 2018, the first time I was on NOFAP. But I didn't follow up anymore and the streaks were just reduced to a month before I break them everytime (sometimes with just psubs). Coming into this lockdown, I had plenty of time to reflect about my life and many stuffs, so I consulted someone I trust for guidance on this addiction, and luckily for me, he had good resources to start with. So, I started and got to 70 days on a total Hell mode (no TV, no movies, no contact with girls and all). Around the 70 days mark, I felt like I was literally suffocating! And felt perhaps, I needed a break and I just find a means to jerk off, I didn't really slip deep, I just felt to release and continue. That was when I remembered NOFAP again and I came back to the forum. I now realised that strong Men are doing it, better than I thought was possible. So, I loosened up a bit, I started to interact more (online though), focused on my goals, and things become so much better. I am really at peace with myself and don't really give a shit about what anyone says anymore. I feel very much alive! I must say though, NOFAP makes you live life as it should be. I faced a lot of psychological troubles and a it intense anxiety during this recent 4 months too. But I've learnt that they should rather be solved to the root, and life will become so awesome. I am someone who commits a lot of diligence whenever I wanna do something, but my recent dedication to my online learning has been way out of this world, and my friends couldn't even believe what I have achieved in a month! So, I have grown a lot as a person, I am more calm and reserved, I am more positive now, I have even learnt happy that I got into the PMO problem, coz I might not have realised the value of living like this, living with self-discipline, respect and love. I'm sorry, I might not be able to express my experiences and happiness well, but believe me, this feeling is just huge! So real that I can't even describe it properly, but I really enjoy it! I wish everyone success on their NOFAP journeys, it totally worths every second!
Meanwhile, this is one of the pages I've bookmarked and really helped a lot! I have even not read beyond the 4th page, but I've gained a lot. https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/6-years-clean-rebooting-as-the-best-remedy.135983/page-1
Congratulations man, you are doing very well! I suck at discipline. I am 41 years old and still a virgin. I haven't had a relatioship because i am waiting on the right person, I want God to find me a woman who will love me and respect me for who I am. The problem is though that pmo is hindering all the blessings and the good things i was supposed to get many years ago. I keep falling and falling so many times. I know that pmo is to blame for 70% of my failures
Yes, this lockdown year has been a blessing for me, too, to self-reflect and self-progress, and I too remember some hellish struggles between 50 and 80 days. After 90 days no PMO, the tide is much easier to ride onward. Best to you and all! .
I'm happy for you. You should note that the wind will come blowing very strong sometime. I was struggling with anxiety at some point. Just try your best to keep your cool, and all worries will soon disappear
I have also been through this post. I am doing one the exercises suggested in this post. Let's see how much it helps with my Wet Dreams.
