    I am on my 3rd day without masturbating and it's basically a mind torture. I want to try to make a change in my life. Every day when I wake up I get the urge to do IT. But I try to resist, but its too hard. I hope you guys can support me.

    I was so far gone from reality because of my addiction, so numb to anything and everything anyone and everyone. So lost. This numbness negatively effected every single aspect of my life.

    But with consistency to nofap, this numbness began to go away and i would begin to see the world again. Unfortunately this meant that i had to face reality, the good and the bad. And for me there was a whole lot of bad. The hole i dug for myself was so deep i couldn't see the light and going back to watching porn was so easy. I must admit that i've tried and failed to stop my addiction countless times.

    Recently though, i went almost a month straight of nofap, my longest streak ever. That experience taught me a very important lesson. You must always seek the truth.

    At the beginning of this month, for the first 20 something days for me, it was like you said "torture". The first week it was just torture because my urges to just give in were so strong and i felt so weak. After that, my intelligence and senses grew more keen, I was beginning to feel stronger. I still had urges but i knew they were just old stupid bad habits of my brain and that i was done and on to something better. But after feeling numb for so long, and finally "feeling" again, reality began to hit me in my face. I felt like i was going crazy. Truths of my existence began to hit me in overwhelming waves. Every night i would cry, sometimes a fit of rage would go with it too, or sometimes i would even laugh maniacally like i was the joker or something.

    I knew though that these were just temporary effects of facing harsh realities during a sensitive stage of recovery and i knew that even though i feel like i'm going crazy i must stay dedicated to nofap and continue to face reality, despite how harsh or depressing it may seem, and stay positive. And i was right. Before i relapsed i felt completely changed. I began to have dreams again, i began to have a lust for life again, i began to have the courage to want to fight whatever was negative in my life. Everything changed, i truly transformed.

    I did relapse though, about 4 days ago. Most days i would stay busy but this particular day i didn't do anything but play videogames and watch youtube all day and i caved out of boredom. But it was quick and i didn't even enjoy it. As soon as it was over i knew it was the last time i ever jack off to porn. And i think thats because all those crazy nights i went through changed me.

    So rejoice in the torture! If you stay dedicated that torture will change you in ways i can't even describe. Just see for yourself.

    Nofap is more than just learning self control and experiencing the scientific positive effects

    Ive thought alot and i'd like to share some positves and negatives. Im on my 3rd day now and mornings so far have been the worst and nights as well, before i used to give in because i had so much stress axiety and deppression on my mind that the only way i felt being free was PMO but then it would all come back after. The struggle is real. i would have a very short temper and a horrible attitude to most things. I would freak out on my girlfriend for the littlest things she did that i didnt like. I didnt want to do much in my life and all i would do is feel sorry for myself. On the postive note its day 3 and im acting alot more calmer in situations that i normally would be mad at. Im starting to grow small confidence in myself in every aspect. The only reason i havent gave in is because of this thread and website. Once you feel your not alone and you have others that are in the battle with you it gives you a more ease of mind. i have relapsed mutiple times before i found this website. If you have the desire to M and relapse all those emotions you have fought will a flood back in your mind in a matter of seconds. Part of beating this habit is controlling your brain. Best of luck to everyone as i am also on this journey.

    Going on to my 6th day. I'm broke, out of shape, haven't talked to my friends in forever, don't have a job, didn't go to school this semester, and more but honestly it doesn't even phase me. I'm just thinking about how to fix these things and how to make my dreams come true.

    I know that if i can change myself and defeat this addiction, then i can do ANYTHING

    Day 10 guys. A life change is possible. Stop having low expectations of yourselves. Set a goal, achieve it, and then be better.

    As Master Bruce once said,

    "If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."

    Keep going guys.

    Guys,

    Quick update. Had my girlfriend round last night and the last few times we've been together its been embarrassing as I just couldn't get it up…nothing she did would turn me on long enough to stay hard. Last night was different - I was hard from the outset and much more relaxed as I wasn't having to think about it. We had a great time for a couple of hours but I couldn't O without giving her a helping hand.

    I'm worried this constitutes a reset but some posts I found suggest that its not if you are with a girl. I'm not that familiar with the rules. What's your take on this situation guys?

    I guess I still have a long way to go but its encouraging :)
