So today was the 40th day of my streak. I have heard of nofap,com before but never used it any further than reading one to two forum posts. Today I lost my streak, it feels really bad and I feel lost in my head. The streak helped me with studying, motivation, determination and gave me more energy to study. What should I do now? Of course I want to continue the nofap but i don't know how i should regard this and evaluate this? any tips?
Welcome to NoFap! Make yourself at home here and explore the forums. The reboot journals are inspiring to read. It's amazing that you got to 40 days on your own! Congrats on that achievement! Relapses happen to all of us, so you're not alone there. The challenges in the Rebooting section are a great resource. They helped me boost my streak beyond what I could do on my own (which was about 30 days). Many people suggest rebooting for at least 90 days to really feel the benefits of nofap. That's what I'm aiming for personally, and I strongly recommend it to anyone. We're all in the same boat here and we're here to support each other. With support from the community you can kick your dependency on PMO for good. Another good resource is Accountability Partners. Have fun and feel free to post any questions that you have. Good luck on your journey!
Great that you lasted 40 days and felt the positive effects. NoFap is not about the length of your streak or completing the 90-day challenge. It's about knowing there are better things in life, and pursuing them. So don't be dismayed. Keep going.
I'm at day 1 bro...I had a 28 day ...24 day...and an 10 day...what that says is I PMO'd 3 times in 62 days...that's worth something. Keep going get back up go for the 30 again and make it your best life! ( you can ! )
Hey, I'm sorry to hear you fell. Though what you experienced the last 40 days sounds pretty encouraging. I am kind of in a similar situation. I entered Nofap in summertime last year after I fought that battle alone for about 3 years. Just as you describe it this whole mindset was a huge blessing for my life. But just one week ago I had some kind of PMO with substitute porn. Yes there were clear signs that that could happen but however. I screwed up and had to reset from 293 days to 0. So what to do now? Will I give this whole thing up? "I'm never going to get that far again " <- That is not the point! For me it is the state of not feeling miserable in PMO. So if you also think it's not about the number but about the consequence in your life, then feel free to be mad, regret, but find peace over what happened. I like to analyse and set up prevention mechanisms for next time. Did you already write down how one thing came to another?
thanks guys, really helps me out a lot now. I will now try to take it even further than last time and will try to evaluate this and improve upon the experience. Stay clean and peace out!
