Join my NoFap journey. Accountability for ALL < UPDATED DAILY >

I’d love to join in starting today. Looking for accountability partners and support. I hope you don’t mind me tracking myself daily here do you? I think I really need a daily check up.

 

Hey there!
I'd like to join your journey. I'm male, 20 yo from Germany and didn't manage to have a streak longer than 2 weeks for 2 years now. I'm sick of it, sick of failing every time. Have had light signs of depression and social anxiety. Definitely have to end it. I want to check in at least once a week. Let's go! My goal is 1 year no PMO, it is day 3 for me now.

 

day 2 this day has been long i'm exhausted the good thing is that i completed it

 

That’s the spirit! Get right back on the Nofap horse.

You just saved me from relapse honestly..

but I have a question.

I’m on day 6 and I haven’t touched myself or looked at porn for 6 days.

but one thing has been concerning me.

I never edged. But I got really close to relapse today and I fantasized a little. The urges are a lot less now but this combined with an occasional glimpse when I accidentally run into something really has me kind of wondering because usually I’m in warrior mode by now (day 6 like I mentioned) but I still feel the social anxiety and brain fog alittle (stuttering, slow thinking, etc.) do you think it’s because of me looking an extra second when I accidentally run into something? Do you think I should reset?

I feel like a lot of people on this forum when I ask these kind of questions they respond to me saying at the end of the day if you didn’t really linger for more than a few seconds and you didn’t P M or O, I should be fine. But idk what do you think? I would appreciate the help. Even if I did slow anything down, would just staying away from anything from now on allow my brain to continue rebooting? Or has the dopamine already lingered in my brain and I have to pmo to refresh my streak. That is the number one thing I relapse for a lot of the times, believe it or not. Answering this would help me tremendously!


By the way, Congrats on 9 days! That can be super challenging when you don’t usually get there! It’s a superb achievement! Keep going!

 

Yes. I’m back. Today was tough. Had urges/thoughts. It’s weird to say but I find myself missing it more than I do wanting it. If that makes sense? Like an old friend? An old friend that was bad for you from the get go. Do you guys feel that sensation? I hate it. I hate that missing it feeling. The worst part is. I miss the only good moments. I never end up missing how I feel after I’ve done the deed. Anyway, once the urges started coming up I decided to cook. Don’t know if they dissipated but I think I did distract myself long enough not to notice. What about you guys?

 

Day 4: easy peasy

 

Corylife already answered it but I wanna add that you have to remind yourself that it is your addicted brain making you think like that. It is looking for "excuses" to pmo by rationalizing your behavior. Just remember that this is your addiction making you think "ahh I fantasized I can also relapse cause I kind of failed already anyway...". No you didn't! You got this, I agree that fantasizing a little is not relapsing. Try to stop fantasizing, but don't be too harsh on yourself for it. Also, if you fantasize, try not to think of porn scenes but of real life stuff. Of course it is better to not fantasize at all though. Keep it up!

 

Thanks guys. This really helped me! I’m never going to let my brain trick me into pmo now. Day 7!

 

I failed again. But I won’t give up. And more importantly I won’t stop posting here. Accountability is important. I was thinking about not posting due to the embarrassment but that’s exactly why I need to post. I hope to rid myself of this filthy behavior once and for all. Hopefully I can with all your guys’ help.

 

Day 5: Strong urges today.

 

Day 8:
Going to push myself all out!!

 

I failed

 

Hi,
I want to join your accountability group. I will comment every day on this thread.
I am sick of getting nowhere and being controlled by this addiction. Together we can do it!
BTW I am 23 years old and from Germany.
Have a nice and pmo free day

 

Day 4, going well so far. Urges started today, but I'm busy all day so it's fine. Usually the urges get really strong on day 5 or 6 for a few days, so the next days may get tough.

Don't give up, bro! Keep trying, you will eventually get there!

Welcome! On what day are you? I wish you a good start, let's go!

 

Good luck on the exam! I'm sure you got this.

 

Has anyone else had issues with just spontaneously orgasming out of nowhere? It's been happening a lot to me lately for a while and I absolutely hate it. I'd rather be a lobotomized zombie with no emotions if we're being honest. Since I've started been about 4 months since I first began nofap I'm starting to become convinced I have garbage genetics instead of the benefits being real. So far I've cut out porn, masturbation, Facebook, instagram, reddit and all that garbage. I also dieted and exercise and I got no benefits. My confidence did not improve, there has been no testosterone boosts or muscle gains, anxiety is still terrible.
