    Sign up for NoFap's Abstain August 2014 in this thread!

    It's that time of the month again - hello and welcome to the official signup thread for NoFap's Abstain August 2014!

    The purpose of this thread is to provide Fapstronauts with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month of August 2014. Although it is strongly recommended, posting in this thread is not required for participation.

    New to NoFap? Here are some suggestions:


    1. Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO. Read through the forum, the subreddit, and other websites to get informed.
    2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
    3. Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.
    4. Consider setting up a day counter to track your progress. Otherwise, there are a variety of phone applications and calendars available for crossing off how many days you've lasted.
    5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress every day. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
    6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Come here every day and participate.
    7. Get an accountability partner.

    Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.


    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
    • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?

    Coming in after this month has already started?
    Don't panic - it is not a problem. Fapstronauts sign up for NoFap's events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

    I wish you all nothing but the best. Onwards to a porn-free August!

    Willing to endure "hard mode."
    30 day challenge.
    My goals are to eliminate fapping from my life.
    I've decided to do this because I've been depressive and jobless for quite some time and fapping has frequently pushed over the edge into critical depression. I'd like to feel better about my life.
    Thank you for creating this.

    SIGN ME UP!!! I'm ready to go all August! Let's all do this!!!

    I'm won't allow myself to masturbate to orgasm, while watching porn or not. If I stumble a little and look at porn a little or edge a little, I'll stop. But hopefully that'll become less and less as my counter gets up there. If I edge too much or look at porn too much, then I'll reset my counter at my discretion. This challenge for me will last forever. I'm doing this because I want more out of life.

    Edit - While I will allow myself to edge a little during the first week or two, I take back what I said and will never look at porn. That is unacceptable.

    Totally down.


    Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? Naw, let's seen if I can go another 15 days..then another 15 days after that without it.

    View porn? Lets see if I can go some 60 days without this. Or more.

    Orgasm whatsoever? Yes.

    How long do you want this challenge to last? I'll ride it on August and probably still be doing it in September and beyond.

    By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting. -- GOOD TO KNOW!

    What are your goals? Get the heck out of my parents house lol. Composed of: Getting a better job/collaborating with talented friends I know.

    Why are you doing this? Time to be Iron Man. Naw but seriously it's been a akward ride, this porn thing, since a wee lad. Time to kick the habit. For many reasons but the most basic one of them all its time to refresh and reinvent my life, I hate long-term routines specially if they don't contribute to well being and porn certainly does not.

    I tried this the last 3 months and failed each time. I don't think I have gone a calendar month without porn or masturbation since 1999. I will try again. Hard mode as usual.

    I am all InM. I just set my goal for 90 days no PMO! I will not reset. August will be a breeze!
    My goal is to get rid of PMO forever and reset my brain. I will only allow orgasm in mutual sex with my wife.
     
  11. 210 days for July 31th, now that's a symbol :D Hard mode as always. 3 goals. I'm focused and committed. Actually my addiction is behind me. But still. August is the last complete month before I turn 20. I want my last month of being under 20 years old to be addiction-free. 2014 s the year I changed my life.

    Wishing you all my very dear friends all the strength of the world! It's fucking possible to crush it and I'm the shining living proof.
     
  12. Glad to see you are still here! Stay strong, you're awesome, and I wish you all the best in your challenge. You're making huge accomplishments and I look forward to seeing what happens in your life this year!

    June was one of the better months... July was a sad month for me. Lots of relapses.

    Hope I can make it through the hole month this time!

    30 days goal about to start!
     
  14. I never really leaved, my spirit was with you all <3 Haha I was away because I love this site too much, but I accomplished enough stuff to allow me to come back here, with the most immense pleasure! You're awesome too Alexander, thank you so much for your site - it didn't saved my life, but it most certainly saved my soul. And that's the most important.



    Courage my friends! It gets better and easier each day! You've got no idea how happy you can be :D

    August 1st I will be on day 11 which will tie my record...so my goal for August is to beat my personal best and get to what...41 Days going into sept.

    I am working now on getting to 90 days, with no P, ho M, no O, no sexual contact. Hoping for a full reboot. 9 days in I feel a little more confident =, and I can only hope it'll grow from here. I am doing this to regain confidence in myself and live an overall better life.

    Well, I succeeded* at No Jerk July without bothering to sign up, so might as well sign up for this one! I want to keep going!

    *Hopefully not counting my chickens... there's still a day left to July.

    I'm doing hard mode. No P, no M, no O. My goal is to reach the end of my lifespan without P or M. I will accept O at some point should the right situation arise in my life. :eek:

    Reaching the end of August would put me at 78 days. Man that would be a long time. Even looking at my measly 40-odd days in my bar right now makes me swell (no, not that kind of swell) with pride.

    Good luck everybody. See y'all on the other side. :cool:

  20. I am not going to allow myself to masturbate, edge, or view pornography for the whole month of August. I am doing this because porn has become a big problem in my life. I believe I became addicted to porn at the end of last year and that is when I joined NoFap. Porn has caused a lot of problems in my life. Some of these problems include depression, social anxiety and OCD. I am sick and tired of letting porn control my life. Since joining NoFap my longest porn-free streak has been 49 days. I am looking to beat that record and beat my porn/masturbation addiction once and for all. I am going to start posting a daily journal starting tomorrow. I am interested in getting an accountability partner since my first one left NoFap and has been unactive on this forum since the beginning of this month. If anyone would like to be my accountability partner please send me a private message.
