NOFAP is the easiest thing ever

I spent my last 12 years going to doctors trying to figure out what is wrong with me, was diagnosed with all sorts of disorders and put on medications for short periods of time. My family was concerned, we all thought I was born this way. And all I had to do was stop masterbating to porn wow if I only knew my life would of turned out so different. I’m 321 days strong and things keep getting better, not out of the woods yet but porn is the last thing on my mind. The period of suffering in my life makes it so easy, because well who wants to continue suffering? I know I don’t once I finally found out what was wrong with me my suffering was my push to stop beating off to porn. The thing that everyone used to say and still says is normal destroyed my life I can’t believe I was doing it to myself all these years without knowing it. Use the suffering as your push it makes it so easy. God bless and happy new year!

 

I’m 321 days free of pmo, staying hard mode at least 6 months more until summer time for good measure.

 

Thanks for the kind words, any urges/temptations that have come my way are easily dismissed by the years of constant suffering and years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I was willing to do anything and didn’t rest until I figured it out which made the last 321 days easy for me.

 

I was going to the doctors for the brain fog symptoms I was dealing with because that was the most profound symptom I was dealing with. The brain fog from porn was causing short and long term memory loss, problems with working memory. I couldn’t remember anything of what I did during my days, I couldn’t recall words or people’s names or anything really for the matter.
I was put on Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse for adhd diagnosis and I was on antidepressants for signs of depression. None of it worked so I only used it for a short period of time to see its effect on me. I stayed on the holistic approach which I did most of my life until I found nofap. Before I started nofap I was searching for answers in my diet was thinking I could have a gluten allergy and it messed up my gut. I tried cutting out technology primarily videogames and tv. I did gain a lot of good habits from my struggles which in turn made me a much healthier person so there’s one positive I got from using pmo.

 

I noticed that I was addicted to videogames to some degree just not sure if it had any negative effects on me besides making me crave them , because I was using pmo on a regular basis at the same time. But I can say that I was a little more interested in other things when I quit videogames but like I said I was using pmo at the same time so it’s hard to differentiate between the two. But one thing I know for certain is pmo was hurting me a lot more than videogames because I quit videogames for 6 months before I quit porn and I didn’t get any relief or withdrawals like I did when I quit pmo.

 

Not yet I haven’t told anybody for that matter. I’m waiting until I feel I’m fully healed or close to it where I feel I’m more confident in my approach, I still deal with some lingering symptoms but they are no where near my where they were before I started this journey. I figure another 4months to 12months and I will be at a very good place.

I am thinking about telling my dad at some point because he’s been my biggest supporter and motivator he’s just been disappointed in how I’ve been acting. I haven’t lived up to my expectations being the son of a very successful person makes people set expectations for you, as I did for myself I just couldn’t handle it in my current state so I took a different approach to life until I figured out my mental health.

 

I put them on myself because I believe I can do amazing things if I was able to live up to my potential mentally. Now that I’m closing in on my 1 year hard mode streak I’m realizing my potential is getting close and I’ve built new businesses in the last 6 months which is more than anything else I’ve ever done in my entire adult life. I’m enjoying what I’m doing and where my life is headed. And call me crazy but part of me doesn’t regret my porn addiction because it has put me in positions I otherwise wouldn’t have been in and in the process made amazing friends I wouldn’t have ever made. And my health wouldn’t have been as good since my porn addiction cause me to take a strong focus on my health on a daily basics.
