    Hey Folks,

    I have been doing NoFap for around 3 years, I have NEVER reached 30 days, the highest streak I achieved was 28 days, the usual routine I have is I get to around 10 days then relapse.

    I know for sure I am addicted to P, but fortunately haven't developed any severe fetishes or anything I particularly am worried about.

    I have found that PMO has always come into my life, during moments and times of stress, anxiety and situations where I am having a rough time in life.

    I have always found PMO to be relief in someways, relief from the boredom, relief from the routine and relief from problems I've encountered during my job-life, relationships and even issues with friends.... PMO has helped me to essentially forget my issues temporarily.

    Physically I know PMO has affected me in terms of fatigue and energy, plus brain fog... but I don't feel I have had any of the very bad symptoms others have stated.

    right now, i feel stress in my life and have used PMO more than I have for maybe 6 months... Anyone got any tips to combat this.

    Thanks

    Someone just posted about this (and got a reply) in another thread.

    Consider that there is no such thing as "stress only." I mean what is causing stress in the first place? It can be a bit of the chicken or the egg situation. There is always some degree of stress, but how well can we handle it? If it really is just any kind of stress then maybe we are compromised in some way in our system in our capacity. If it isn't then it's worth investigating to see what kind(s) of stress is an issue whereas other kinds are not. It may be both with PMO.
