    hello guys
    I’ve managed to make it to 30 days pmo free. This journey so far, hasn’t been the best but I’ve persevered and focused on other things to keep me busy from thinking about porn, masturbation etc.

    What I’ve realised so far is that I have an increase in energy. I feel it within my body, and it helps because It gives me the extra push if I’m either studying or working out. That’s the only benefit which I’ve Recurved so far.

    In terms of my mood, honestly I can actually say that it is better than how it was on day 1. The brain fog is kind of still there but I’m now more fluent and less in my head when I speak to people. I still have depression tho, and it’s like I’m bipolar. I Might feel really good in the morning, and then feel shitty afterwards during the day, but since I’m not fully rebooted, i know it’s my brains way of resetting my dopamine levels and reaching homeostasis.

    SO what helped me reach 30 days?

    Well, I haven’t really had the urge to watch porn. I was reading a few self- help books and what made these days go really fast was actually taking the time to sit down, and think about why I was watching porn. That was the first step and the second was linking So much pain and discomfort to relapsing and watching porn. I constantly reinforced why porn was so bad, and now, I don’t even have the slightest thought of watching it. I do feel very horny tho! But that’s only because of the semen retention. But anyway, I’ll probably be doing hard mode for another 150 days, I certainly won’t be watching any porn, so I’ll see you guys there. I’ll make another post when I really start feeling the benefits.

    Also, for motivation, check out mateo89’s post on his journey. He suffered from social anxiety , etc and he’s been fully healed. Keep yourself focused on this journey. I would suggest to forget about women, don’t chase them whilst your recovering. You’ll be shocked how they flock to you when they see you improving yourself and focus on your purpose.

    Oh yeah, one more thing.
    Try not to stress to hard when your not receiving the benefits and stuff. I remember when I first started, I was stressing a lot. It’s unnecessary, just try and ride the wave. That’s what I’m doing now, and it’s working

  6. congrats, keep grinding.
    Interesting suggestion. I honestly do agree with you but I did have some thoughts that maybe dating would help the reboot but I think I'll take a break to focus on me more.

    Congrats on 30. I just hit 31 today and i know exactly what you feel..

    My brain fog was bad but now its alot better. I never noticed about being in my head while having conversations. Now that i read it i notice im able to have steady conversations without having to think much lol.
    I've been on dating sites since day one. I told myself if sex presents itself so be it. Im pmo and mo free though.
    You're definitely not lying about the women flocking. I notice women checking me out more and trying to initiate convo. Just the other day at the grocery store i saw a girl checking me out, she walked into a isle knocked everything all over.

    Keep it going!

    Almost forgot I got a question, maybe this is happening to you? I ask since were on the same day

    Anyways i notice i need to pee alot. Sometimes ill pee and withen a few minutes ill have to go again. Nothing changed in my diet. I cut out soda 2 years ago and most sweets. Its hard to explain but i feel like i have pressure or something. I google and found some info which makes me believe its due to nofap

    If you’ve got Ed then it definitely will, you have to condition your brain to naturally desire sex, not porn. But I say bro, give your body and brain a proper amount of time to heal before you start dating.

  11. Nice clear post. I'm noticing women are being nicer to me and also a great sadness sometimes.
    I suspect the process may take many months and it seems you are up for the challenge.
    Well done so far!

    My depression was horrible, its almost non existant at this time. Almost..
    I suspect its a slope that our brains must overcome. There will be days and weeks that im fine but then boom it hits. Not as bad as before though. My thought on this is while browsing Instagram, Facebook or even watching tv and seeing a sexy girl if i start to feel in the mood. Withen a few hours i feel bad. Not so much depression. Maybe its more of a withdraw?

  14. Nice I am almost there at 30. I notice more energy as well. Increased mental performance. Sometimes get mad still or negative but I am improving and more aware of it. Increased confidence. I have completely stayed away from dating websites that was a trigger for me.

  16. Interesting. I looked at some images yesterday, felt the brain chemistry changing within a few minutes (headache, ears burning, slight nausea), corrected my behaviour, but then felt timid whilst visiting some local shops. Don't know quite how it all works, but change is happening...
