Hi @laserfish30, great to hear you are striving for this new and greater target. It is definitely difficult and I couldn't do it by myself, I had a lot of help from addiction groups and of course this forum. Best thing to do is get involved, because when are helping and encouraging others you also benefit. Stay the course, you've got this.
Hi @AB.Wisher, Congratulations on your one week. You are half way through one of the hardest times during NoFap. Trust me it will get easier, but you have to get through this initial time. Stay strong and eat healthy, and talk about things with friends when you have urges. One thing I learned from a different thread, is that the real enemy is the P, because it is supranormal stimuli, it might be acceptable to M/O by themselves, if it serves to avoid you looking at P. It will get your mind disassociating the two (P and M) so you don't need one to do the other. But easily the better option is to take out frustrations with exercise, and working on your goals. Stay strong and keep fighting, it is very worth it.
Hi @Merry Terry, this is great progress - nearly 9 weeks on the no PMO. Great to hear that you are also starting to cut out the psubs, because these can lead on to other things. Also, I like that you are keeping track of your total FAP / NoFap days, I should like to do this also.
Day 10 no pmo. Started the day with a cold shower,meditation and pushups. Went to a 12 step mtg , spent time with friends and did a couple of errands that I'd been putting off for weeks. I feel like my will power is coming back. One day at a time.
Day 4/90. Anxiety still not as present as two or three days ago, but I feel often anxious thinking about previously being anxious or sometimes out of the blue. I think once I am out of this environment tomorrow I'll feel much better and I'm really looking forward to it! Glad to have been able to stay away from PMO these last four tough days.

Is it natural to feel a bit confused after a week of abstinence ? I do feel a very low on libido right now, but yesterday I felt really high libido. Why the sudden change? Now I kinda askin the question to myself, that whether I've lost my sexual urges, whether I'll be attracted to anybody, will I get any pain or other physical damage if I have relations with someone, will I be able to enjoy my relation and will I be able to let the other person enjoy the relation. Sometimes I feel there's something , like a bump/ low pain on my left lower abdomen & sometimes on the right. What the hell is going on with my body? What is actually going on with my head?
