You will make it! I'm impressed. Most men are not able to do what you have done so far. Not even 10 days. You have reached a much higher level of self control than (sadly) most men ever will do. We are many on this site but out there in the world hundreds of millions of fappers waste their precious time, energy and life fluids on the "self replicating" poison we call porn. We fapstronauts are a rare species. Just being on this site is a massive achievement on it's own. Because most men (and women) don't have the insights to take the first steps forward to solve their problems. Self mastery is true mastery.
on day 2 again. I have to say, in the past I would PMO every day for hours. now that 2 to 3 days is a regular interval for relapse right now. its a huge improvement. So i have come a long way.
Day 30, Im having a strong urge today. The idea to watch something sexualy stimulating is stuck in my head, it keeps going. Even after napping for 90min. I have a lot of things to do. I keep procrastinating... It has been more than a year since i reached 30 days, im making progress I feel better in all aspects From time to time i feel strong urges, and other times i feel that i can go forever.
Trust me I've seen your progress. You have improved a lot. I remember we both used to have a relapse cycle of around 7 days over and over again. Look at you now, Day 30. You are your own proof that NF works. I made it to 38 and failed.. I will make it beyond it this time. Don't do the same mistake as I did. I didn't have any urges to watch P but an "idea" popped up and I acted upon it. I could have just ignored it but didn't. This time I will. We fool ourselves to belive that urges will go on forever. Urges will pass over time. It doesn't matter if you're on day 6 or day 182. They will go away. The longer you do NF the better self control you will have.
Day 6. Been a bit sad the last couple days thinking about my gf breaking up with me. But still been able to handle the urges.
Thanks @Ice22. It’s been a rough one to two weeks since she’s told me this but maybe it’s time to face the music and move on. I appreciate your support
4/90 I am so determined this time around. I now know with clarity that my bouts of anxiety are the embers of previous relapses. I need to complete this challenge no matter what and reset my emotional state. I can't be dealing with the vicious cycle of recovery-relapse-anxiety regularly. Something has to give.
Thank you @Ice22 At the beginning of the journey, you get a lot of urges, after abstaining for while the urges disappear or be relatively less frequent especially if you are busy. For me, this is the next level of the game. The absence of urges doesn't mean that life is going to be easier. The pattern is still there, the decisive point is whether you really want to abstain forever or not. It is easy to lay down and PMO, but it is extremely difficult to be your authentic self, pursue your passion and find true love. Every time we choose the easy path we disconnect from ourselves, we escape true happiness. You can do it, my friend
Thank you man I appreciate your motivational words and I can't agree more it takes courage and work and as long as we acknowledge that their is something to be done we can never change. I hope you make it and my best wishes .
