New Fapstronaut
Hi guys,
I’ve been aware of NoFap for a while and have tried a few short streaks in the past. I did a 30-day one straight off the bat, before recently abstaining for two weeks.
A short intro to who I am: I have my own writing business and do photography too. I used to watch porn/masturbate every day, but have slowly cut it back to an average of fapping once per week and watching porn around once per month. Now, however, I want to get rid of both completely. Last night I watched a particularly weird video and after doing the deed, I snapped.
Whereas before I had gone in blindly, I have now developed a system to make this work. Cold showers are something I have done for a while, but I’m also going to journal my progress daily (I do this with life normally and it works well in that respect) and cut cheese/sugar out of my life. Every time I eat either of these — and it’s literally only these foods that trigger me — I get the urge to go at myself.
I know that NoFap isn’t a sudden fixer for everything, but it feeds into other areas of life. Each time I’ve had a decent streak (or even just stopped for a week), the benefits to myself are clear. I am happier with life in general, seem to have better results with my business and can complete tasks with more ease. I’m joining this forum because I think that accountability will be useful and also, to kick this pointless activity to the curb once and for all. It’s become especially obvious in recent months that PMO can be a serious drain on life and ultimately, my confidence is much higher when I abstain from it. I hope that I can not only gain inspiration from the community on here, but can also give back and help others who are in a worse position than I am.
Peace
