The urges are big, close to giving in

    For the past couple of days now I have high, like really high urges to start PMO’ing again. It’s unbelievable. Every time I lay in bed at night the urge just kicks in. I started my NoFap journey in May 2019. It’s been almost 8 months already, with ups and downs, I am on day 40, my third big streak. But yeah, I am still a virgin (19 years old). I just quit school yesterday.. I didn’t like my study. Overall it’s fair to say that it is not going well in my life. And atm I don’t have the feeling that NoFap has a lot of benefits besides that it cures PIED and intrusive thoughts.

    I feel like shit atm (could be flatline ofc). I don’t know if my PIED is really gone because I haven’t tried with any girl since I started this journey, I mean curing PIED is one thing, but getting a girl in your bed is another (with consent of course! Silly joke I know..). I only know I got morning wood again (which is good) and I get boners when kissing. But damn the urge to fap is so high somehow. I am so fcking close to giving in. Day 40 ffs!

    I told myself 2020 is going to be the year where I wouldn’t watch porn or masturbate. We are bloody 14 days in! This is going to be one hell of a long road, but I haven’t watched porn nor fapped in this streak and I am not going to do so today!

    Keep strong! It’s hard. But no one said it was easy!!

    Hang in there. I fell off the wagon pretty early this year and am kicking myself. I can't say that nofap cures all ills, but I'm in a relationship, and it certainly makes things better there. All the best finding one for yourself. Its worth it!

    I try to tell myself when I get urges that it's better to suffer or be in stress for one day for another day of greatness. Just go through the stress. Don't give in. Cause once the day is over and you made it through, you'll look at back knowing that pushing through allowed you to achieve your goal. I just viewed porn. I reset my P timer but not my relapse timer. It's a loss yes but it's better than fully giving in.

    Thanks for the encouragement. I've been doing pretty well today, but I have to work late, and I hate the project I am working on. So then my mind tends to wander. I've been trying to check in here during lunch, but was driving today. Now is a better time today anyway, because the encouragement is helping. I think I can finish up what I have to do and get home. One more day of greatness is a good way of thinking of it.

    Move a muscle, change your thoughts. "Change your thinking, change your life". Books on positive and spiritual thinking may help. There are 12 step meetings in most areas. You don't have to have an alcohol or drug problem, they are all metaphors for similar things, loneliness, isolation, being stuck in your own world. Solutions are well known, replace inactivity with good activities. Healthy diets, etc..

    Stay strong brother i made it to day 90 and bam day 91 hit me like a ton of bricks. I gave in and stroked one out and immediately felt intense remorse. But that is just a small bump in the road. Stay strong!
