This is an amazing accomplishment, and one I'm sure you're proud of. It's also a reminder that recovery IS possible, as you are certainly testimony to that fact.

Congratulations and I look forward to reading more about your journey...your struggles, successes, and gifts experienced from accomplishing what you've set off to accomplish.

Wishing you the best!

Just a quick post on here to celebrate day 90 of my recovery.

It hasn’t been easy but it hasn’t been as difficult as I thought it would be. A number of things have helped:

1. Complete honesty with my wife. I am still working on this.

2. Reduced screen time - my phone is out of my reach a lot of the day.

3. Counselling sessions

4. Support group meetings

5. Taking each day one day at a time.

6. Journaling and focussing on things I am grateful for.

7. The support of my wife has been essential.

If I can achieve this, so can anyone. But I also know that I have been here before. This time needs to be different -this time will be different.

Congratulations on 90 days. I would like to forward a reply that you haven't gotten around to yet as I too am curious how NoFap has changed your life for better or for worse. Thank you so much, in behalf of myself and Bigman.

It has not been easy. At all.

I think the routine every morning of checking in and updating my journal have been a good start, and I feel it slightly on days when I don’t get a chance to do that. Realistically, the only way we get through this is one day at a time. If we keep focussing on the big numbers I think it becomes overwhelming. Also, NoFap alone does not solve all my problems. It gives me a place to vent and to allow myself some opportunity to be vocally proud of my actions when I know if I tried to in real life it would potentially hurt those I care about.

I feel calmer than before, and anxieties I have had in the past do not seem to affect me as much as they have done. I also feel closer to my wife, and my focus on our intimacy has shifted significantly to being more about us as a couple rather than physically.
Overall, no regrets apart from the ones that have led me here in the first place.

You are on the right path. I have put a major embargo on my screen time in general, making sure I don’t have easy access to screens during times when I see to act out in the past. I am also incredibly lucky in that I have a loving and supportive wife who has stuck with me despite everything. I am very very fortunate.
 
I want to there. With momentum under me. To take quitting masturbation and porn more seriously I have returned to this forum.

I have 1 question, what are your ways to deal with stress, tiredness and exhaustion?
