Willpower will get you so far bro, dont rely on it, i did and it cost me my 90 day streak. Rather train your brain to allow urge, acknowledge it, feel it but dont react to it. Sit with the urge breathe into it but dont react to it. You might fall a couple of times but its ok. Over time your brain will get used to you not giving it what it wants. This technique will not only help you with this addiction but with other things in life as well. Wishing you the best, take care.

Thanks a lot brother I really appreciate your reply and the mindest you have.These urges are the one which will make us stronger on the Nofap journey, the more I will resist the urge the more stronger I will be in terms of will power and therefore there's no gap in succeeding and moreover actually I want to get addicted to Nofap rather than PMO!

Sure my man I will read it!
I found so many persons over here who are far more advanced in terms of mindset and behavior than those persons who are constantly addicted to PMO . This actually shows to what extent Nofap can change a person in every positive way possible which the person was struggling to achieve.Really glad to have found it!

Hey @| Gamma | :)

The fact is, that we have competing inner voices: "STOP IT!" vs "DO IT!" o_O The reason the latter is more compelling is because it is generated by the brain's craving for a dopamine rush (when we masturbate to porn). So, we need to tip the balance in our favour or in our best interests. Part of that is being well motivated. Consider some tips to help you do this:

Sure @IGY I will definitely look into it and try to be PMO free for the rest of my life and will restore my dopamine level to normal :) as you said .

Being positively motivated is the key, then you don't need to rely on willpower only.

Imagine yourself being a rocket scientist. How would you live? What would you do? Why are you really going for it? Do this every morning for a couple of minutes and also when urges come.

It's the feeling of realizing your dream that keeps you from relapsing. I do it too and it really helps me.

THANKS my man i will surely grind it into my everyday routine and of course i will work hard for my dreams . I will not let porn invade my mind only i will be the master of my mind and walk the way which will lead me to be Rocket Scientist.
 
Bro! I want to share a trick with you.
Listen carefully, Make a list of things you do regularly and can't avoid . Start avoiding any one activity for a day. Similarly you can avoid two or more. It will train your brain not to do the things even if you are willing.
Hope it may help.

I have already read your post and i use SPIN browser on my phone and use X3watch on my computer

Keep up the good work I am on my day 1 and hopefully will make it to 90 days streak without even incurring a single relapse. How about you how much time did it take you to complete your longest streak?:)

Good luck man. I hope you achieve your goal. But I always like to keep my expectations low. I have failed so many times and I can't make promises to myself. It took me years to be able to do those streaks and those filters helped me a lot. I don't know if it was possible without them because years ago, I was never able to pass 7 days. I started back in 2011, trying to quit this shit. After a few relapses, I realized I could never depend on my will power and I need some blockers. Since then, I have been looking for the best filters out there, I tested a huge number of filters and I kept eliminating those that were easy to bypass. I gathered the best ones I found in my post, so anyone could use them at once without spending all of that time testing programs.
 
Hello! As I said before, I really like when I see young people who try to take their life in hand and change it. You have a lot to do, and you have a full life in front of you, don't say "I can't do it" at the first times that you fail, keep trying and everything will be good!
I hope you success in this, and in many other things in your life. Good luck!
