Who's up for a JULY challenge?

One more day -- my daily/nightly check-in!! My senses have become more pronounced... MAybe its withdrawal symptoms but I notice there are so many triggers on websites/newssites/tv shows.

Hopefully this is a phase and I will climb up this mountain and on the otherside is a better place.

 

Count me in chaps, I need a focus target for July, good luck to all stay strong

 

It gets easier after 6 days right? I'm really struggling already. Showers are tricky, facebook is tricky, apping with girls is tricky. Sigh

 

Keeping busy really helps. I find if I keep active it's less of a temptation. Stil have moments where it feels *almost* unbearable. But the moments pass if I shift what I'm doing.

I feel like I have to be a mechanic and carefully observe and tune my brain depending how it's running. Sometimes slowing down and meditating helps. But other times I have to find healthy novelty when my brain wants something new. Going to a new place, listening to new music, reading a new book, ... I know I want to calm my brain down over time, but I cant just sit too long at this stage or old habits start to creep up. Let's keep tuning our engines until they run free of P! Keep going forward all no matter where you are right now!

 

day 9 come on guys!!!!

 

Kristian, the only thing worth killing is the old self you used to be who was bound to addictions. There is no easy way through a break up besides receiving support from the people around you and the ones who love you. No words make it easier, and only time slowly heals the wounds. In whatever relationship you start after this one, you will be a different person who can fully give of yourself because you won't have this monkey on your back. I think giving up alcohol is a great choice because it will only keep you from becoming your full potential. It numbs the pain and helps us forget, but the reason we are going through this is to wake up and to feel again, to stop being so desensitized. The goal of this process is to bring us back to who we can fully be, and alcohol won't help you be that person. It also will cost money and cause you to gain weight, both of which I'm trying to avoid! Day 4 for me, had an awesome breakfast with a friend and am about to face the heat for a 2 hour bike ride (watching the Tour de France has me pumped). Gotta make the most of my days to see myself grow through this process and use that extra energy for something useful! Keep strong everyone, the person you are working to become is stronger than the person you used to be.

 

My 3rd day of nofap.So far its been going great,I have deleted instagram off my phone its a porn sub and its harmful to my reboot.I thought today was day 4 lol.

 

Dear friend,
Today I joined this forum.I am starting NoFap on 9.7.15.. Wish me good luck.. suggestions are welcome.

 

lets go....

 

One of the nice things about getting off alcohol is you start to feel better right away.
The hang overs, the depression all of it.

Just getting properly rehydrated again is big in how it calms the body and soothes the nerves.

 

"the person you are working to become is stronger than the person you used to be" that's so true. that's my main reason to do NoFap. I want to be a stronger man then the lil boy I am now.

 

I can't tell you when or know how deep your addiction is but yes it get's much much better. Keep clawing you will be in lighter air before long.
I still have bad days but I'm not even in the same reality as day 6.

 

oh yeah I couldn't agree more...it does look superhuman by comparison

 

Day 5 was the hardest for me, and on Day 6 I felt amazing. It's actually been pretty easy for me, since then, so I feel pretty lucky about that. But, if my one experience is anything to go on, then there will be a threshold period that is the hardest, and if you can get through that tough stretch, you'll feel better on the other side.

 

Day 4 was super rough for me. I had to sink really deep into some programming to get my mind busy. Today was better. The wife has been out of town all this week so it's been a tough time to start. Staying busy has really saved me. I certainly got a lot of work done this week!

 

Guys stay strong I have been a P addict for soon many years, read my journal I have been through some tough times over the last 55 days, but it's starting to feel like I'm a new me, still with loads of urges but I am in control. It does not get easier just it gets different but in a great way.
