How was June? Good or bad, it's a new month and a new opportunity to focus on your goals!

The purpose of this thread is to provide people in recovery with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month. Although it is strongly recommended to make a public commitment, posting in this thread is not required for participation in a reboot.

Sometimes in recovery it is good to take time to celebrate the good that comes into your life once you set on a path of self-discovery and self-improvement. The improved relationships, the productivity, the heightened awareness and ability to be present, the ability to enjoy life more fully. We hope that this month you can get a taste of what life is like without porn. Keep on moving forward! One day at a time!

New to reboot? Here are some suggestions:
  1. Learn about porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO (a process called "reboot" or "rebooting"). Our free Getting Started guide that is advertised everywhere is a great option.
  2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
  3. Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.
  4. Consider setting up a PMO-tracking day counter to monitor your progress.
  5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress periodically, preferably on a daily basis. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
  6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Help others, too, if you are able to.
Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
  • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is dubbed "hard mode". For a full list of parameters, see our Rebooting 101 page.
  • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting. You can't know how long it will take to "rewire" your brain, it widely varies due to individual circumstances. Some people require a year or longer to regain sexual function.
  • What are your goals?
  • Why are you doing this?
Coming in after this month has already started?

Don't panic - it is not a problem. Users sign up for NoFap's rebooting events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.
 
Day 2/31

Today is the hump day of the year. 182 days have passed, 182 days to go.
How was the first half of the year? How can you do better in the second half?

My goal for 2025 was to MO four times or less. I had four slips by April. Powerless to stop despite the best intentions. Now at 76 days without MO (50 days without edging).

It is critical that I don’t edge or MO for many days to come and these threads have really helped me to stay accountable. I failed in April. May was good. June was a win! :cool:

Let’s do it again in July. Let’s do it together.
 
Day 2/31

June was rough, but I feel like I'm slowly coming out of the woods.

Somehow, I managed to stay clean over the last 18 days, which is amazing to be honest. For years I struggled to consistently reach any streak longer than 2-3 days and look at me now.

A lot of struggle behind and in front of me, but it's something to celebrate nonetheless.
