I need a change

Hey @DilapidatedBell, nice to see you join this journey and taking your first steps to reach your goals!
I think a lot of people can relate to the change of preferences, but dont worry this usually stems from your body craving "higher" doses of the hormones that are produced duringPMO and make it so addiciting! Over time when your brain changes it is really probable, that you will without a problem get hard to real women!

Everybodys time span differs greatly, both with getting turned on by real women and getting rid of nofap. A lot of people say 60, a lot of people say 90 days, but dont take it as a set finish line, it is probably just the ball park! I personally think it puts a lot of pressure on you, so try to observe changes in yourself, regardless of the days

In the beginning dont focus on those huge daycounts. View every day as a single day and challenge, during which you can grow your discipline and confidence!
Especially in the first days, it helped a lot to inform myself about what is happening in the brain during porn (i read the book: your brain on porn, it summarizes so much about this PMO-Addiction), exercise (yoga, running, workouts, whatever you like), meditate (there are awesome free guided awareness meditations on youtube and spotify).
Oh and of course spending as littel time as possible alone inside your house, just to be in an enviroment, where PMO is out of the question

In the end its about creating new habits and a new lifestyle, where you get joy from differnet things than artificial arousing imagery!
If yoo need help or have questions you can always message me

 

I am rooting for you! A lot about staying on track during the first days if about distraction and getting your "feelgood"-hormones" from different sources than porn!
So maybe you can go for a run or read in order to have an accomplishing feeling

 

Awesome! I bet learning it will give you a sense of accomplishment as well! And hey playing the guitar doesnt hurt, when you are trying to met new people or girls haha

 

awesome idea I almost bought some instruments recently just to play around with see where it might go maybe just a hobby
