    So I have started a PMO journey utilizing karezza with my wife, and am about 4 days in on that, but I am currently at 12 days of no PM and the urges are STRONG today!!! Just going on here to talk/type it out and use computer time for productive positive forward movement for the sake of re-wiring instead of following those urges down the deep rabbit hole. Anyone else notice that spike in intensity of urges around the 10-12 day mark? When did you "get over the hill?"

    starts getting better in the 3rd to 4th weeks. The second week was definitely the hardest for me. Keep strong.

    Thanks J, good to know I'm almost past the hard part. Staying, I've been out at a coffee shop writing and I'm about to go to an open mic to perform this piece, which was kind of the starting point of my NoFap journey. I am a spoken word/slam poet, so I am trying to use my art as a way to free myself and others:

    you got that right, it's kicked in HARD today. Hit with a wave of depression anxiety and stress and made me wanna fap but only just survived. Hope it doesn't last long!

    Nobody has died from those urges. So you can overcome it.

    I know those urges hit so hard and you can't even think straight as your brain floods itself w/sex images and dopamine desires.

    You just have to overcome it. Think about it this way, when you overcome it and experience success there is a part of your brain that celebrates the victory. You gain such a feeling of success, you move into a feeling of I will
    Crush this addiction. It drives you alone till you get the next urge. Then repeat the process and conquer it.

    Early on the urges hit frequently then they fade.

    Stay strong!

    For me it was more like my dopamine was depleted and I felt severely depressed which made me want to fap to try feel good. I wasn't craving due to sexual urges or anything. Is that what withdrawal is like because of a lack of dopamine hits?
