    You have to be strong, my friend, the race can be difficult but crossing the finish line will be the best time of your life, sometimes many of the symptoms are an attempt by the brain to get back to addiction, you have to be stronger than it.

  2. Day 13: I fought n fought to achieve this amount after my 2 last recent relapses. It was really hard after day 3. It seemed my brain was like " you're not going to surpass day 5" but I pulled through. I want to make nofap a lifestyle but it's so difficult when your brain was deep in addiction.

    Try these supplements and a "drug"

    - 1 gram of Iboga rootbark per day on an empty stomach for GDNF and BDNF increase (Google Iboga microdosing)

    - Take 100mg of esketamine (will strenghten and reset the mesocorticolimbic pathway and increases BDNF)

    - Take 30mg 9-Me-BC a day on an empty stomach. This is a dopaminergic miracle drug. Increases many neurotrophic factors and increases dopamine neurons in the hippocampus and area's in the basal ganglia.

    Good luck.

    You don't actually have to wait, there is no such a thing as the "Moment of revelation" You'll certainly not wake up one day to accidentally find yourself "feeling better"

    If you quit PMO as if you're making a sacrifice this would explain that you haven't dealt with the problem, your brain still views it as a prospect source of great dopamine and so it's stressing the hell out of you to push you in the direction of "Relapsing". You might be saying "How could my brain push me", my theory is that it pushes you because you've planted this deep inner suggestion " Or belief" that you're giving something up. Your mind plays on what you believe is true and acts accordingly.

    In my opinion, what you need to do, is to deal with whatever it is that you have to deal with. if you have any fears that you need to deal with, don't postpone them, deal with all the fears.

    You can't have 2 conflicting beliefs at once. So for instance you can't believe that you crave something while you seek its opposite. Your mind is too smart to distinguish truth from fake.
     
  5. Harsh headaches today.
    I went to play ball but I didn't due to Agoraphobia and other symptoms such as body stiffness, headaches, emotions up n down, lower back pain, vision issues....
     
  6. I had a wet dream this morning where I was watching P and woke up humping the bed.

    Day 15
     
  7. Feeling like the world is ending right now. I'm on my own world(depersonalization). Pmo addiction kill love and passion. Family members are dying and I can't feel nothing...

  9. Have a bad day today with withdrawals. I don't usually post how I am doing with nofap. However, the symptoms leave me no choice...
    Yesterday was a better in term of moods. I thought today would have been better. Wrong
     
  10. There is a lot of people in the world having mental health issues right now, and it's hard to find professional help. I don't think most professionals even know enough to deal with this anyway. Even though there's support here it's not the same as someone that's going to figure it all out for you, another person who's got a good amount figured out for themselves is exactly that, it's their situation which is different from yours and everybody else.

    I don't think we have any choice but to figure at least a part of it out for ourselves these days.

    NoFap is a very general thing, I mean even the idea of brain fog doesn't even distinguish between what's happening in one person's brain versus another and things that's got other causes than PMO.

  11. PMO was the only addiction I had. So the withdrawals have to be the consequences of the addiction.

    There is no such a thing as the "Moment of revelation" if you don't fix what's going in your head first then I can only wish you good luck.

    Anbody attempting to quit porn must first learn how the mechanisms of the addiction works, you can't beat your enemy if you don't know their psychology, so you must view it the same way.

    I have written an entire ebook on my journey to quit porn, it's a resumed fruit of my success story "Now more than one year porn and fap free" I have shared everything on my ebook, which I attached for free to anyone interested in reading it.

    Also, My website's URL is on my avatar's profile picture, feel free to check the website out and learn enough to make aware and informed decisions.

  13. Dude I have done 16mo hardmode and been on nofap for almost 8 years. So I know a lot about it. Each time I'm almost healed I kept coming back to PMO.

    It doesn't mean that you know the secret to healing brother. I am afraid to say this but repeating more of what doesn't work is the definition of insanity.

    I have caught up on that earlier and learnt every time I made a mistake. I have used my mistakes as a blueprint to rewire and now I have an unshakeable belief and more importantly a bullet proof mindset "I have successfully programmed my mind, the way it should be"

    I don't know about you man, but I'm here to share my success story and I believe that I hold the key to solving this porn addiction puzzle.
     
  15. Why am I feel worse than I was fapping heavily back in the days. I feel like I am being watched or I'm 2 people in 1 body. I'm second guessing myself. I lost my confidence, my social life. Like I'm trapped in myself. I've never had this issue even pre or on pmo and at the beginning stage of nofap.
    Am I close healing or what???
     
  16. Penis seem broken. I don't know when I'm going to have sex. Seem an impossible concept to me right now. Other people reported they've had flatline orgasming from sex. I'm like what is that...
    So foreign and so alien

    It might seem extreme brother, but the best possible help anybody can give to anyone is to teach them to hold themselves accountable.

    If a person's life is not how they think it should go, is because they're in denial about 1000 things that they're doing on a daily basis and that is making their life's the hardest experience, second to hell of course. I'm not writing this with sarcasm but as a person who's messed up big time and blamed everything else but myself.

    Once I sat with myself one day and wrote everything I'm doing wrong on a piece of paper, it was clear as day to me that I'm my number one enemy. So I started doing more of what I should do and less of what made me miserable. One of the things that made me miserable was certainly porn and it was the core behind most of my trouble, so I cut it loose without hesitation, and still to this day, I only look back with regret to those dark days, the only thing I wished for is that I could have had a discussion with a knowledgeable person on the matter before I got hooked deep.

    I have learned a lot from 2 years of war on porn, I have studied countless books and scientific articles on addiction, recovery, and success stories, and have decided to give back.

    I made it my duty to change the world's viewpoint on porn, and wake up every day with an unshakeable belief that I will.

    I have built a website on the topic of "Porn addiction recovery" and anyone wanting to quit will find all they need to find broken down into easy steps on my website.

    My website's URL is on my avatar's profile picture, you can check it out and there is also a free ebook guide that anyone attempting the NOFAP challenge should read before starting out on the journey.

    The reason you find it difficult is because you're forcing yourself to quit. Imagine putting the world's most delicious pizza in front of you and attempting not to eat it with reliance on WILLPOWER, which of course just doesn't work, because you or anyone else will end up eating the damn pizza.

    If you're quitting porn with the mindset of "I wish I could have watched more" You will fail because what that tells is that you're bitter about the process. On the other hand, if you quit porn with the mindset of "I don't want to suck in bed, porn is just not for me, and besides I don't enjoy it at all" it'll definitely be more than enough for you to quit.

    Another big clue is, to make positive affirmations instead of "I wish I could have seen more booty pics" , you need to become more conscious about your own self-talk and start programming your mind the right way by repeating only positive affirmations like "I am making the right decision" "I don't want to end up a perv" "I am not a creep anymore" "I was wrong about porn but now I woke up" "My life is much better and more productive with now porn behind me" "I never enjoyed porn" " I am not a coward" etc...

    In the worst-case scenario, if you ever happen to masturbate again, put a pen and write down what you have done wrong on a piece of paper. Let your failures give you the blueprint on what works for you to quit PMO'ing. Don't take failure as an excuse to reinforce the brainwashed pattern of "I guess porn is impossible to quit after all". there is no such a thing as impossible.

    Your penis is not broken brother. The problem that you should address is to regain the ability to "Find the opposite sex attractive again"

    See porn and escalation to more and more hardcore content rewires the brain to lose interest in real sex "In a real-life situation". You can fantasize all you want to porn and your penis is hard as a brick, but once you're confronted with the real deal, it seems impossible. But that shouldn't stay the case forever brother. Now that you're aware of the issue, you should hold yourself accountable and stop self-pity and victimization.

    I have been there as well, so I know damn well what I'm talking about here. It seems impossible, but the reality is completely different. What you need to do right now is begin the process of "Reprogramming your subconscious mind, not to crave porn by consistent daily positive affirmations, every time you get a negative thought like "I am hooked into porn" counter it back with a positive affirmation such as "Porn is having a negative impact on my mental and physical health and I'd be far better off without it". You know that kind of thing.

    You need to break the loop of addiction by consistent reprogramming of your backend, you have allowed porn to drag you deep into fantasy but see did that help you get better in any way ? So brother cut porn loose but before you do you need to condition your mind in a way to stop viewing porn as "Something to be missed" because if you go through this process with the common mistaken belief that "You're making a sacrifice by staying away from porn" you'll fail over and over and over. Not because you're a loser but because in your mind "Porn is sacrifice" and your mind will give you a hard time during the process.

    You especially cannot rely on WILLPOWER, as we all know that it doesn't work. You can't be on a diet and keep the pizza in front of you all day claiming that you have the ability to resist. WILLPOWER wears off all the time because it's based on depriving yourself of something that you find GREAT. It's like trying to convince a kid to stop eating chocolate.

    Another important factor is you need to start building self-esteem and confidence in your ability to perform as a man back. This surely isn't the kind of process that will take a day or even a month for that matter, because you and only you can be the judge of how much time it should take you to reboot and rewire your mind back to factory settings.

    Work on your belief system, by writing all negative thoughts down on a piece of paper and arguing them using logic, that way you create new patterns but make sure you anchor them until the new belief sets in. So the next time you get the idea that "My penis is dead" write it down and think to yourself "Is my penis broken or am I hallucinating, I mean can I ejaculate? Do I have the ability to maintain an erection to porn? So why am I judging myself? "

    A man is what he repeats all day so if you keep affirming "My penis is broken, then your penis will say hey sir we are broken" instead of saying that affirm "My penis is stronger than ever" but use logic to anchor the new belief and reinforce positive pathways in your brain circuitry.

    Race might feel difficult if you have two conflicting beliefs at once, as we all know the mind can't hold two simultaneous beliefs at once, without one outweighing on the other. It's the strongest belief that dominates in the end.

    What makes giving porn up so difficult in the eyes of many people is that they think :
    • It's something to sacrifice "When in fact it isn't something to sacrifice"
    • People think that porn gives them pleasure when in fact it's "Orgasm that gives you pleasure" Porn is merely a tool that you subconsciously use to masturbate.
    • People rely on willpower and they force themselves out when they would much prefer to be free to roam all the tube sites out there.
    • A lot of people and due to low self-esteem believe that they "Have no choice, because how else can they get sexual pleasure" They are so scared to get rejected, maybe because of a past experience, but LOW self-esteem is certainly a core reason as to why the masses prefer what they like to call the easy way out.
    • People believe that they have to be accepted by 100 girls out of 100 when it's not the case because you only need one approval out of a hundred to get laid.
    • Boredom and brainwashing play a big part, since most people that masturbate to porn a lot and I was one of them as well, have empty lives and no big plans for the future. It should come as no surprise but I can remember that most of the time I didn't masturbate because I craved it but simply because I could and had nothing else more important to do.
