Accountability for All

Yeah, I feel like I am on the right path as well & getting out of this addiction is the last piece of the pussle for me (atm). 2020 & 2021 have been good years for my personal development. I've found what I want to do in life & found hobbies (potentially more than too) that I'm truly passionate about, which in turn motivates me in other aspects of my life.
Now I just feel like I want to get through this last wall holding me back.

I like your idea of putting the phone aside. I'll try to implent some of that from now on. I do quite a lot of exercising as well, it helps definitely.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you go about meditating? I've been intrigued by the idea of doing so for a while but never had a go at it.
Solid advice again mate!

You being strong makes it easier for myself to go on! Keep at it bro, 10 is big number in my eyes, proud of you!

Day 3!
I had no urge at all today funnily enough. And I'm not sure if it's due to the confidence boost from joining the community & learning about the reboot etc but I feel much more controlled & less needing of catching a look when attractive yoga pants go through my work place lmao (there are a lot, for better or worse...). Sounds stupid but it's a win in my book haha

 

Hey man , nice to hear that you found my advice useful. This is day 11 for me .I m having a dull morning. Last night when I was testing a porn blocker , I peaked on Some images for 2-3sec and then it messed up my mind. I wasn't looking for those images , just that the blocker didn't work . Funny how the brain behaves like this. I m not feeling horny or anything , just dull , don't know what to do and stuff. Once I get exercise and meditation, I will feel fine I think. Good thing is I was able to install porn blockers successfully. Regarding meditation I use this- ..
Helps me a lot. My friend @yrjyrj recommend this me 4-5 days before and I m in love with the feeling it gives.

Having no urges for days after relapse is normal. But it can come anytime and you have to be on a lookout for it. Don't be careless at this moment.

Btw sounds like a nice workplace.

 

I've had my struggles with porn blockers as well. Glad you pulled through though. Problem with my blocker is that it only blockes the sites I tell it to & I can turn it off with a simple click. I need something that can block keywords & would take some effort to turn off, if you have anything similar I would appreciate it...!

That meditation video was super interesting. I'll definitely give it a go this week, thanks for sharing. I honestly think it could solve some of those dull/boring moments you were talking about, for me. Clear my head a bit & helps me refocus maybe. Exercising, reading books (added this one to my go-to things this year, surprisingly motivating & inspiring, I'd recommend if you aren't already. Listening to pods isn't too bad either) & watching tips on YouTube for my interests are my current things that take my mind off the urges. I feel like meditation can be a nice add.

You're right, thanks for the reminder. Shouldn't get careless. It's happened way too many times now.

I mean it's a decent workplace but, & this isn't meant as some weird flex, my country just has a lot of attractive women. The average is pretty high not gonna lie. A lot of women work out. I'm not doing too bad either, just want to get through this for my own sake & mental well being

DAY 4
Made it through with barely any urges. Day 4 has been the hardest day for me for quite some time but today was fine. Not letting my guard down though

check this out bro!^^
i've blocked porn on my laptop using this, and i believe kepler has too.
this is VERY effective... and i dont think you can just turn these blockers off just like that.

haha lol. just stay focused man!

nicee, you are doing good!
keep it up.

THIS.



btw even im doing good guys! no urges as of now, but relapses always happen when everything seems to be going alright lol. so i must be careful.

good stuff guys, keep it going!

 

This is a way but I have used two apps , one is pureweb and second is digital detox. Pureweb will filter all the nsfw / porn from browsers and digital detox locks you from uninstalling it. You will get premium version of pureweb on net and digital detox from playstore. I have no idea about iPhone.

 

Yeah man meditation is panacea. I would recommend you to be consistent in this. You will feel the difference. I m into reading bro. One of the advices given in atomic habits ,a book that I read led me to this site. It said best way to build a new habit is to be a part of a community that has the same goal as you. That's how I found nofap. I have been better since then .

 

Hope u have an accountability partner. I can be yours if not but better would be to have someone in the same time zone as yours.

 

Day 12. Exercise and meditation are really really helpful. Going to be restricted due to Corona and after 6-7 days , two of my family members will be leaving me. Don't know what I will do then. It would be a real test .

 

Hello everyone. I'm new here, am on Day 0, and would like to join this group (hope it isn't too late). To add some more substance to this message, I've never actually watched p**n on a "mainstream" site, which the Internet laws where I live block; and I do not use a VPN. I hate that I've managed to be desperate enough to subvert these restrictions anyway, that is, by looking up movies and T.V. shows with lewd scenes.
I added my own restrictions on top of the law, i.e. blocking harmful websites on my iPhone and adding a screen time limit to which only my mother knows the password, as well as setting up a child user account with Microsoft Family Safety on my laptop and having the administrator (myself) block access to all websites save a selected few. Evidently, these haven't worked (for about a year now), so I turn to other human beings...

 

Big thanks for the link. Game changer!

Nice going bro! Makes me legitimately happy each time I come on here & see you guys say you had another successful day, keep it up!

It's funny you mentioned Atomic Habits. I bought it along with several other ones a month or two back, definitely planning on reading it next now!

Yeah that would be good, I'll try this run by myself but thanks man! Right now it's honestly very helpful just having you guys here, it feels like I have mates I gotta do my daily report for & I don't wanna fail, motivates me hahah



DAY 5
Only time I felt those instincts was at work but work is safe anyway, can't exactly pull my dick out.
So yeah another good day, feeling more confident but not careless. So far so good

 

ikr!

hehe loll
good going man!



for me, day 14 done ig..
almost no urges, but i'll have to cut down on fantasising lol.

 

its NEVER too late. welcome to the group bro!
goodluck on your journey!

 

got massive urges.
my AP and https://quitpmo.weebly.com/ helped.

relapsing is NEVER the easier out. NEVER.
onwards now!

 

Nice bro.

Nice .

In my experience bro , I have failed several times trying to beat this addiction myself. If you relapse again please don't think and appoint a AP. It will work wonders for you.

 

Welcome buddy, looking forward to your journey. Keep motivating us and I am trying my best to motivate you.

 

Nice to see all of you battling it out.. keep it up guys

 

Nice!!
Yeah know that feel all too well...

I hear you! If I fail this run I'll get myself an AP. For sure.


DAY 6
This was my day off from work, usually those are more dangerous but today went smooth. My dreams during the night were pretty intense though, I don't remember much but I do remember booty lmao. But we're good.

 

Hey buddy dont hate yourself , be proud of your streak. You have taken corrective steps. That's what matters. Porn has affected our self esteem . It has messed our brain . We r not like this . Our potential is limitless. I struggle with my self esteem and loving myself. But I try everyday to be positive . If change our beliefs we can change our reality.

Day 15 . I am having some weird feelings, unaccounted anxiety . But I also find myself being very calm and composed at times. I rarely feel such composure and I am proud of myself for not Skipping meditation . I am becoming more and more productive also. Things are going good in a way but they can be better. Looking forward to become more awesome with each day.
