Sick of Tired of Being Tired, Tired of Fighting

In my experience, the "why" you are doing nofap has to be stronger than the urge. I tried to quit for more than 20 years, and failed every time.

Then about 3 months ago, I almost got caught and I woke the hell up- it scared the crap out of me how much I had to lose. For the first several weeks of nofap, I was so traumatized by the near miss that I wasn't even tempted; but of course the temptations returned eventually, and I needed a better plan which involved a lot of reflection, introspection, and spilling my guts here as an accountability exercise. I also started talking to an accountability partner. I'm currently on the longest streak of my life. Will I stay the course? Time will tell, but it all started essentially by hitting rock bottom.

 

Perhaps being too rigid is the problem , every animal and plant on this planet is designed for attracting mates, sex and reproduction. The planets life force is sexual energy, so no you probably won’t be able to stop something that is bigger than you. But I bet you could steer it in a healthier more for filling direction. It sounds like you’re bettering your life massively with all the work you’re putting in. Keep going to build the life you deserve and don’t want to escape from as much you’re doing well mate

 

En los primeros meses de este 2021 fue así conmigo .... Todos los meses llene aún con dolor el calendario ...10 o 12 caídas ....de MO o PMO, Que mal.... Pero este mes será la primera vez que casi no estará marcado ...en más de 20 años ....adicto al PMO... sigue adelante, esta es mi racha más larga sin duda.... Sigue una rutina.... Y las cosas pueden mejorar....No digo de golpe...pero una mejoría puede Llegar ....

 

Pretty much . I relapse every second day . 3-4 days longest streak ..... My main issue is complete lack of stimulation. Porn blockers don't work

What works for me is completely distancing myself from anything sexual or sexually provoking . So trimming down my reddit subs. And avoiding sexual images. Even tv advertising I have YouTube stuff on in the background so anytime an ad comes in I switch to YouTube not completely because of NoFap but also because I hate watching that bullshit day after day it's relentless annoyance. But it helps. There are constant subliminal messages alot of them sexual .

So distancing myself and building my strength focusing on other things

You can become obcessive about NoFap ... That's part of the problem it should be a background filler day by day. You should be obcessed with something productive .that has nothing to do with porn

Get out and do some exercise aswell .

It's easy to become an addict when you have an unstimulating unfulfilling lifestyle .

Another thing that works for me is constant reminders of what I am achieving . Iade a post earlier about an app I've started using .

It's called DWI. ( Duration without incident )

It's a basic timer you put on your home screen and it basically counts down to the millisecond so it's not a static clock on your screen you can just forget about every time I look at my phone I can literally see the time moving infront of me and everything I'm working towards . It's a distraction


Addiction is like a muscle the more you give in the weaker you get ... I see this as a training method to bring it visually into my environment as a constant reminder to help me build my strength to conquer this shit

Ontop of that I'm going to start going out on the pushbike every day 10-20 miles .... There is one sure way to kill urges and that's strenuous daily exercise .

I. Going to throw everything at it because I'm tired as fuck of this shit myself

Best of luck bro ! We all have it in us to defeat and conquer this bullshit and live a stronger life that we have control over
