    Hi guys
    Ive just finished day 8 no pmo
    My urges are starting to become manageable but today ive felt like my brain is working against me
    its the first time ive had to deal with so many sexual thoughts and thoughts about pmo and they seem to come from nowhere plus thoughts about quitting it
    Has anyone else had any experiences like this and can you suggest ways to deal with it
    Im currently going though alot of stress with illness within my family and i feel like my brain/addiction is also using this to quit NoFap
    I would like to carry on because ive never had a streak like this before and im quite proud of myself for making it this far
    Should i quit and hope in the near future I'll be in a better place todo this or is it just my addicted brain trying to get a fix?
    Any advice would be appreciated

    Hi! Just passed through that this days. Listen, you have to let it pass. Let it surround you and do not do anything, and it will pass by. Meditate, do exercise, so all that energy is invested in something productive. Good luck :)

    It is your addicted brain, most likely. And yes, you should be proud of yourself. I have been on nofap on and off and here are the things that work for me.
    -When I have urges, I resort to pushups, running. squats etc...
    -I did set parental blockers on both my iPhone and laptop. If you have an iPhone, you can just set up the iOS built-in restrictions in the settings menu, for my laptop I use http://www1.k9webprotection.com/. I did set up passwords for both and left them in one of my drawers at work, so I have no access to porn and worst case, I'll masturbate without it...
