New to NoFap

Hey guys!

Small introduction.

My name is Dico, 28 years old and probably have PIED for about 8-9 years when I first found out. Every time after the catastrophe of not getting it up with a girl, I always googled my ass of but NEVER found the problem. At some times I questioned my sexual orientation.

2nd of May it happened again, and I was DONE with it. Googled for an hour until I saw something in the range of "The Dangers of Porn". Then I found Rebootnation and YBOP and BOOM! I found the answer to my problem, I just found it. I would lie if I said I didn't cry a little. That night I have been reading ALLOT of articles, video's, stories until the sun came up, no kidding.

When I found out porn was the main culprit, I just said goodbye to it. No more porn for me, ever. I never said it was gonna be easy, but I'm done with it.

So, 32 days later (now), I was checking out some Reddit NoFap and this, and noticed this is a VERY active forum, so will also post my journal here from now on (after 2 days, since I'm a newbie here and can't post yet)

Good luck everyone!

 

Thanks Marcel,

Oh, it sure ain't easy. Today was a hard day, constant flashes of P and a big urge to PMO (they are rare, I think this was the 5th day I have such strong urges of the 32 days). The mood swings are killing me sometimes

Thanks for the compliment man! I sure want to change my life, I have had enough of it. I'm going all good, but one thing I need to fix; I tend to "check" if everything works downstairs a bit too much (~5x a week). Not really M'ing, but just checking see how hard I can get it.

I should stop doing that I assume? Feels it can set back my process

 

Almost all the times, yes. Can always get it up to ~80%, and on a few occasions a true 100%. And that is by touch alone, no P/P-subs or thoughts etc.
I also have a bit of PA, so sometimes I feel the need that i MUST! get it up and then everything just fails. But I am aware of that now, and that is a step for me.

Sorry to hear about your 6 month streak . But I assume you got something positive out of it?

What do you mean exactly by spiritual growth? You have some articles about that? You wouldn't know how motivated I am to fight this, I'm willing to bring everything into the ring and be open for everything.
And yes, work on happiness. I'm working on this, you would be amazed how far I've gone in these 32 days, besides the no-PMO.

Don't know who quoted it, but it was in the line of; Use your energy to build your future, not to fight your past.

Thanks again for replying

 

Hey D.J !

I'm very happy I found this place finally a place where I can share my story and get a load of my back. It's not a topic you would throw out in the open

My strategy is my future. I want a healthy life, I want to get more out of life and I feel PMO is holding me back. (and I'm not even talking about my PIED)
I'm 32 days in now, and I haven't overslept for my job in 3 weeks! Now this may sound normal, but this is VERY rare for me, luckily I can screw a thing or two up, at my work

I have been feeling so energetic! I have been working out harder, I'm talking to girls more (with no intention for anything, I just enjoy their presence, where normally I would fill that hole with PMO).
Beside the mood swings, I am feeling so much happier and I'm sure it was P to blame.

One day I'll hope to wear your signature
