90 days journey: NoFap for a better life!

I'm going on a journey, and I'd like you guys to join me on this: who's in for 90 days of NoFap?!

I've allowed myself to hide in porn throughout most of my adult life.

I'm still experiencing anxiety and depression due to other issues, but something I was very proud of was that I had 163 days NoFap until two weeks ago, and then I fell off the wagon. I didn't take my re-boot seriously and so I ended up Fap'ing again last night.

I also didn't take my recovery from anxiety and depression seriously enough, and the fact I Fap'd last night is closely related.

I'm now taking my NoFap journey seriously. My main intention is to get to 365 days, a whole year, as I know that to re-train my brain I need at least that amount of time as I've been doing porn for nearly 30 years. I'm chunking this down to 90 days sections to make it more user friendly!

I'm inspired by this TEDx YouTube video

We can do this: join me on this journey!

 

Hello everybody. I hope you are doing well. I've had a week off work as my doctor has signed me off as I was doing quite a bit of depression. It's been a good week and on Tuesday I go back to work. Being back at the office will bring up some stuff for me, so my commitment to myself is to utilise NoFap to support me.

How is everybody else doing?

 

Just adding a bit more info: I'm a 44 male who is based in London, UK. I've had periods where I was using P daily, but over the last 5 years it was on average twice a week.

Even though I was 'managing' the compulsion, I finally recognised 6 months ago that I could trust myself to have unrestricted internet access (until then I'd a NetNanny type software on phone/laptop), and by being completely NoFap with P, I would give so much to myself.

It is really liberating to know I could look anytime, and then choose not to. I'm now in for the long term. I find reporting to NoFap really powerful: whenever I feel triggered even a little bit I post here.

Love, Adam

 

Just laying in bed, avoiding getting up, and saw a reference to prostitution online and felt a little triggered to go searching online for P.

It feels great that I've the opportunity to use NoFap rather than anything Fap!

I'm checking in because I can! I'm not feeling triggered... AND I know how important NoFap is to my life, so I'm writing this mini-post as a way of helping keep myself connected with what is good for me.

What other things do people do to help themselves?

Adam

 

So my 90 days starts again. I Fap'd last night. I had 10 days NoFap. The immediate issues were that I lost sleep, and went to bed feeling stressed. The longer term consequences are that I continue to be triggered by thoughts of a fetish.

The good news was that earlier today I encountered something on Facebook which opened a door to me getting into a compulsive space. I used all the tools at my disposal to move on from it: particularly thinking to myself "If I came from a place that I loved myself, what would I do". The answer was pretty obvious... do anything but the Fap related activity!

So I'm looking for an Accountability Partner. You can find out more here: http://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/looking-for-ap-with-good-nofap-history.47249/
