Today I cut my internet connection. I won't use internet when at home anymore. (Well, I still have mobile connection)

See you guys later

EDIT: I will install K9 on my phone and PC tonight. This is so overdue!

I would suggest not doing that. It will make you stronger if you face your fears. You're making PMO scary monster that you can't fight against. Turn it into a cute toy that you're too old to play with or something that that takes it's power away. You're setting yourself up for failure by blocking it out because once you see it then you'll be in shock and feel vulnerable because of the way you're treating it right now. Once again, just a suggestion, but consider it.

I am/was never lonely. Always had friends but now that I'm abstaining from PMO, I'm craving some sort of emotional connetiom with a person of the other gender. I'm satisfying it by ogling and fantasising. I bet it would stop if I find myself a gf. Let's see.



That's three of us who've survived so far. We're coming up on two months. How do you plan on celebrating?

I'm on my 57th day now :) started on the 13th of September and still kicking it. It's not been an easy ride but I feel so much more aware of my condition and of my motivitations now then during previous attempts. I actually believe I can live without PMO now :) I accept the challenges of getting rid of this adiction and that only makes me stronger.

Hope there is a lot more of us out there fighting for control over our lives. Keep it up bro.

Well... in the end I re-connected, bc of work I HAD TO DO at home in that moment :D

Don't worry, StaticGrey, I don't see pmo as a scary monster. It's just a thing I do when I'm in a certain situation. My task is to avoid those situations.

So I still have my "danger zones": at home & internet at home. When I'm in those zones I have to be careful.
How? I think this is important:

- first of all: what do you do at home? why are you not working, sleeping, or be outside?
- don't overrate my "willpower" (don't underestimate the addiction)
- what is going on? what am I doing? what do I feel? how can I handle things in the best and most caring way?
- when I decided to do recreational things at home: what exactly do I intend to do? how long? what are the dangers, where can I loose control? what are the consequences for drifting in the wrong direction (-> intervene in an early state)
- avoid "caving" and risky combinations: leave your door open, leave the curtains open, stay in the living room, don't go online very tired or while laying in bed.
 
Hey guys. I'm back. I've been gone from the forums for a while but now I am back for good. I took some time off from the internet in general. I felt as though I really needed to form a much stronger connection to myself as well as my existence. Shutting my life away from the internet I felt was an integral part of that growth. I am now two weeks into a very solid hard mode reboot and I have every confidence that there will be No more relapses for me. I am here to stay with you guys and the rest of the community. I will be checking in just about everyday as well as doing some journaling in different forums.

hello back. good thing you cared for yourself and cut internet-use short.

maybe you can help me. (or anyone?)
in some minutes I will go to sleep. I'm very carefully about P. I see no danger that I will look at P with this state of mind. But I feel like masturbating. I just feel like "let it out". Maybe its from this long and stressy day, dunno
In general my problem is pmo, not mo alone.
But my plan is to stay clean from M too, bc I think its good for reboot.
Y'see I have not so much reasons.

I need just one reason not to do it. Can you give me one?

(well I just gave myself the reason. Maybe this helped myself enough, but words from you would still be very helpfull

I'm going to give you the most important reason there is to stop this addiction in it's tracks.......it's going to make your life better. So just stop now press through panic button if you need to, but DO NOT masturbate. You will regret it afterwards.
 
oh shit you gave me accountability - now I just CAN'T do it :D

good night! I'll try to think of something nice.
;)

Ok cool! I am not saying M isn't a real, strong addiction, I just know things are harder to stop when you focus on them. Good luck!~
 
I'm back to this thread after a break. So I am doing two counters, one for pmo and one just strictly for mo. After almost a week into my no pmo streak I gave into mo to old thoughts about coworkers. It makes me sick sometimes to have those thoughts, but in my old days when I didn't have access to p or didn't care to use it I would make up these fantasies in my mind about being with girls I associate with at work. Some of those thoughts are still in my memory, but thankfully most are not.

I didn't want to fully reset my counter, because I am proud of how far I've come from not using p and I don't feel it's helpful to reset based off of giving into thoughts. Whether mo'ing to thoughts is as bad as jerking it to porn is irrelevant to me, because I want to quit both and feel it's best for me to monitor both separately. Seeing that it's been over a week now that I've view porn is something I don't want to throw away because of dirty thoughts, unprovoked by anything other than memory, boredom and giving into a urge.
 
Seriously almost relapsed today after a full 2 weeks of progress. I came to the site on my phone and hit the panic button. Needless to say, there was No fucking relapse. Fuck that. That's the power of NoFap.

I like to participate. I'm at 5 days already now i think. What i do is: i train myself to channel sexual energy through my body when im horny. So i deliberately look at arousing stuff, and i force myself not to masturbate but to keep breathing deeply so i can control my sexual energy. It seems to work. So maybe you guys can try it out ;) good luck all
