Opinions

I have some of those now, not necessarily headaches but everyone is different. The goal is to definitely have other goals so to speak instead of PMO. Exercise, meditate, reading, school, staring a business, etc. But for now I would just focus on No PMO and eating a good diet, avoiding sugar/heavy carbs. However, there are people on here with way longer success than me, so you should get a good variety of ideas. Good luck and welcome!

 

Welcome Marco, I'm glad you're here.

I didn't find that fapping affected me physically, other than soreness and getting where I couldn't sustain an erection. I would be worn out, but that was from staying up too late. I'm not convinced that there really are physical symptoms, as opposed to changes to your emotional state, but that's my opinion.

Yes, I replaced porn with lots of things. It's critical to have a plan for how you will use your time. For me, some of it was just playing computer games; but also, this site became a replacement. Also, I just do other things I neglected.

 

Hey @Marco Delpopolo ,

I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

Then, watch this video:

PS -

One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program.

I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work.

Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:
