5 more days till I hit my goal of a full year no PMO.

I never had a problem with meeting girls. I had a problem with ED with girls. I was fine with taking a year off and not focusing on girls. I think it makes you more attractive because don't you come across as "needy". You're not dependent on getting that girl's approval and you don't give a fuck.

That "feeling" you have will subside in around day 45 (maybe 90 worst case) so don't worry keep going.

The biggest challenge for me was that I have to be around the computer constantly. So the potential is always there.

Listen man I started this in Aug 2014. I reseted around 3-4 times (even around day 30), with each next try improving my record. Don't worry about failing. When you feel the call don't beat yourself over it or feel guilty. That's your brain still being used to what it's trained to. Just try to trick it by substituting something in replacement of it to make it forget (going for a drive, going out to see a movie exercise works for me, something that doesn't allow your mind to wonder or allow you to PMO).

Also get that green bar in your signature. IT HELPS OUT A LOT!
What is it about giving off the vibe to girls that "you don't give a fuck" that works so well. It wasn't until I didn't care anymore that the girls started being really attracted to me. Before then I felt like I was chasing them without much success. I try to teach that to my desperate single friends, but it's not something you can fake.
Congrats on the 363-days without PMO, 2-more days you did a year! Nice.

Thx man. I'd say 45 days (90 maximum for sure). I decided to go for a year as a challenge to myself. It was bad man. Yes basically what happened to you happened with me too! I put it in and basically it went soft inside. I was angry at myself too!!! I lost girls because they were turned off by it as well :( Don't worry more fishes in the sea :) Just use that anger and use it to do something constructive and change you're life.

BELIEVE THAT IT'S CURABLE!

Take a look at this to help you along the way.

Thanks dude,

Yeah its been happening for years and ive tried everything but this. ive done no O for two weeks and it helped a lot but didnt know of PMO so i will do it. never really experienced decent sex much. maybe 5 times ever, and only once or twice sober whe i did two weeks no O. but even then it wasnt good so i guess i have a lot to look forward toa nd motivate me. sex has almost always become almost a disappointment activity and i know have hope and faith i will fix it so this is great. anything else aside no PMO.? how long have you sustained feeling normal? and is it literally like being a teen again?? i actually cant wait ive totally lost my masculiinity to this and cant wait to get my pride back

It's the porn that really causing the issues. It's the attachment of porn to masturbation that's rewiring your brain in a bad way. A lot of people misunderstand this on nofap. Yes you will have to do PMO cold turkey to get everything out of your system. Stop thinking in terms of masculinity,feeling like a teen or your pride. You will feel more whole and centered as a human being. You basically want to not think about or have a needy mindset for sex for a while. Yes you ultimately want to have great sex with women when you're cured but you shouldn't focus on that now. You want to think about other priorities and goals you have going on. YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON YOU!!!

From a health perspective you need to focus on rewiring you brain back to normal. That's going to be a challenge since your going through withdrawal from addiction. After that you'll see things differently and not under a cloud. After that period, go out and meet some women and not think about sex. Just have a natural conversation and be a cool dude. Chicks will like you more trust me.

Progression will take time, but ultimately you'll get there.

And once you get to that place you will not want to watch porn ever again and be in a better place in life.
 
Congratulation Mike. I am very happy for you.
I have a question Mike. Was it hard mode for the whole year and when and how did you notice that your ED is cured. I am in the same boat as you guys (ED lost ex and such). I know for sure that P is gone for me, but I don't think I can get reed of MO. I can decrease to healthy levels and stick with it, but wanted to here your details.

Good job! P is the most important part. Now stick with No P + No MO and try to do it for at least 90 days and you'll be cured. It gets easier over time. First two weeks are the worst!!! You have to do this for at least 90 days so that you're brain can rebalance.

Here's a past post of mine to give you some tips!

Very inspiring man! I love your "no beating yourself up about it" attitude! Never thought of it like that. It's almost like to get serious about fighting this addiction, you have to not be so serious about it. Work smarter not harder :)

Exactly! You should read "Will Power Instinct". Basically you're mind beats yourself up as a way to give it an excuse to pursue your addiction further.

Not beating yourself up ACTUALLY HELPS your will power. It's seems counterintuitive but it's seems to be the case.
 
When you do what I did for 365 days... then you can give that advice ;)
Why be obsessed with numbers? I am quietly confident that I've lost my desire for P. :)
My desire for woman is now directed to... woman.

You say you do 'occasional M'. Isn't that the crucial point? We are posting on Nofap right.

I don't mean to be a killjoy. It's just that I remember once having thought I'd kicked the habit of P. I would just indulge occasionally, once in a blue moon, only to find further down the road the habit/ addiction coming back with twice its force. Similarly, if there were a chance that the occasional use of M could lead to a reversion to old behaviour, wouldn't you want to uproot the habit once and for all?

Anyway, congrats!

Because I pointed out that you were being hypocritical means I'm obsessed with the numbers??? Umm ok?

Good for you!

Nope, everyone's goals are different.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry that you didn't have the will power to fend off your addiction. Please don't lump my situation as your situation. Everyone's different with varying degrees of will power.

wouldn't you want to uproot the habit once and for all?
That please look at this quote and understand why this comes across as condescending...

Anyway, congrats!
Congrats on your progress. I hope you fulfill your own personal goals. I suggest that you not impose your belief on others. Everyone has different issues and goals. When you lecture, condescend or come across passive aggressive it doesn't add value to the community.
