i'm on day two and the struggle is really strange. i'm feeling how the bad thoughts about the past come to me and give anxiety. in a normal day, i would feel this and then masturbate to feel better, so this explains that masturbation and porn is some kind of my escape from problems. now that i'm not touching myself i cope with the bad thoughts, but i have to face reality without this and go on, a good day depends only on me. i'm passing the second day without failure.

- still have a few urges from looking at FB videos but trying to shut them out as best I can now I know that "FB Watch" is something to NOT watch when doing a reboot
- off to the gym now to lift weights and raise my testosterone levels to reduce my BPH symptoms
- have a great week everyone from your brother in this struggle
 
This is very recognisable. It's basically impossible to avoid stimulating material on the internet sometimes, and it's so hard not to click on it or get curious. I don't think we should be too hard on ourselves if we just come across something and look at it. It's about what you do with it. And I think what you did, is exactly right.

Thanks, Merry Terry, I really needed that.

Day 73 / 90
Still on track. Life has been difficult recently, a lot on my plate and a long difficult road to reach my goals. Stressed out. Work life is 24/7 and extremely challenging. I'm also trying to move my partner and children to my country so we can be together. Injury has kept me from the gym for the last 2 weeks. I'm tired and depressed and my daily self-help routines have slipped. But still maintaining my Nofap streak, the only positive right now. Onward and Upward brothers and sisters. Keep up the fight.

Feel you, Overfloweth. My family is with me, but work has been extremely tiring these couple of months. Same thing with the gym — week in, week out, depending on how much strength I have left. But gotta keep focused on the goal, I really like to believe that life will get better as long we make the effort that is in our reach. "If you try the best you can, the best you can is good enough."

This is super relatable. Facing the problem head on is hard but so worth it. Keep at it and we're here for you.
 
Hello, greetings, respect to you all.

Today I decided enough is enough and found this website. So here I am and here we go. I have started having hand tremors with the thought of the challenge ahead, but seriously this addiction is something I have been aware of and felt powerless to for years. There comes an hour where every man/woman must say no more.

1/90.
Glad you are here. I hope you find what you are looking for in terms of personal goals, recovery, etc. You have already taken the first and hardest step of facing it head on. We are here for you.
 
Day 30: Was a busy weekend so I did not get a chance to check in but it has been mostly good the past couple of days. My mind is still a far ways away from viewing woman the correct way which I noticed yesterday but I also have noticed small positive changes in response to stress and frustration and not immediately thinking about PMO. Onwards and upwards and restored.

well i'm almost finishing second day... i have to say that this day was pretty different from others in my daily life. I usually get up, do my stuff... and then i take a break and... masturbate. today i was very busy playing guitar, i practiced like 6 hours today, so i didn't have time to masturbate. i noticed a few things: i was looking into a fit girl instagram to get excited, didn't get an erection or touched, just looked at it for a few minutes and then decided to get up and keep my day. and the other thing is that i was on the street and felt very attracted to some girls, i was not being obvious but i looked them and i saw their ass. again i felt a little bit excited but i passed the moment and that was all. i think today i felt the need of masturbation because i'm very used to get my anxiety down when i masturbate, then i feel worse but everytime i feel bad or nervous i masturbate. this day was pretty hard on overthinking negative ideas about my past mistakes in relationships with girls, or other mistakes, also thinking about what i'll do with my life in some years, etc. i just tried to forget those boomerang thoughts when i was playing guitar and it worked i think. i have to say that my abstinence syndrome shows itself as a depressive, fateful mood with overthinking ideas. i'm positive about this and i think it's gonna pass and get better with some time. i'll also be losing my social phobia. thanks, i'm motivated and i'm starting again this journey.
