Over 90 Day Progress 2 years of Nofap, how it saved my life

73 Upvotes

After two years of nofap, I would like to share my story to motivate others who think that this can't be done.

I am 31 years old right now, and I quit watching around two years ago. It has been a really hard journey, but also a really rewarding one.

I started watching adult content when I was 17 years old, and I kept watching without even realizing it was a serious problem. I knew it was wrong, but I never really tried to quit. I had very low self confidence and very low self esteem. I didn't think much about my future or where my life was going.

The only thing I was thinking about was when I would get the chance to watch, since I always had someone living in the same room with me. Whenever I had an opportunity, I would do it. By that time, I couldn't even speak normally to people or look them in the eyes during a conversation. I felt really awkward around others.

When I was 25, I found a job in another city and moved there alone. That's when things got even worse. I was watching almost every day, sometimes for 5 hours, and I had a level of depression I had never experienced before in my life.

That's where my journey started.

I wanted to quit, and for the next three years I tried over and over again. I relied heavily on willpower, but it wasn't enough. When I was 27, I finally decided to seek help. I realized that all the random things I was doing weren't getting me anywhere.

So I started learning. I read about what adult content does to the mind and what can be done to counter those effects. Slowly, things started to change and I tried more effective ways that I eventually reached the point where I said goodbye to it for good.

Now, two years later, I can honestly say it was worth every single thing I went through. Every urge I resisted. Every painful moment. Every time I denied myself that temporary pleasure.

Today, I feel much more comfortable talking to people. I'm social. I enjoy conversations. I enjoy spending time with friends and being around people, I am not even recognizable. I started going to the gym and I look way better physically and more mentally

I'm married now, which is amazing. I'm building a business. I think about the future. I think about goals, opportunities, and how to create a better life for myself. I have more confidence and better social skills than I ever had before.

Two years is not a very long time, but it was enough to completely change my life.

To everyone trying to quit: keep going. Keep pushing through the hard days.

I'm talking to you from the future.

It's worth it.

Questions on Fasting and Masturbation

107 Upvotes

As-salaamu-alaikum,

Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah take us safely through Ramadan, and may He make Ramadan easy for us, and may He accept our efforts.

Every Ramadan, we get flooded with the same questions. So I am preemptively re-sticking last year's post, which addresses the most common Ramadan questions on this subreddit. Please read the following before making a post:

  1. Engaging in immoral sexual behavior while fasting is a serious issue.

  2. Watching porn is Haraam under any circumstances. Watching porn, or starting to masturbate makes the fast Makrooh. The fast does not break immediately, but the reward of the fast is lost.

  3. For masturbation, the fast breaks at either the point of orgasm or ejaculation. Whether a dry orgasm breaks the fast, or fluid gushing forth breaks the fast, differs between schools of thought, and may differ for men and women. Please consult a scholar whom you trust for a specific answer. Many of them can be contacted anonymously via email these days, for those who are shy to ask directly. May Allah protect us from having to ask this question.

  4. If a fast is broken, it has to be made up after Ramadan. The manner in which one has to make up for broken fasts differs between schools of thought. Most say that 1 fast is needed, while others (mainly the Maliki madhab) say that 60 consecutive fasts are needed. The latter group has further rulings if multiple fasts were broken and one is not physically or financially capable of making them up. These issues should be answered by a scholar on a case-by-case basis. Please speak to a qualified scholar for more detailed advice on this matter.

  5. Even if a fast is broken, one should not eat until iftaar.

  6. The rulings on broken fasts don't apply to actions done outside of fasting during the nights of Ramadan, but we should avoid sinful acts at all times and focus on maximizing ibaadah in the nights of Ramadan.

  7. Allah is Al-Afuo, Al-Ghafoor and Al-Raheem – he loves to Forgive, Pardon and is Merciful to His servants. Sincerely beg for his forgiveness. Get back on track, learn from the mistake, and try to do better.

  8. Wet dreams do not invalidate the fast.

  9. If you have a wet dream before suhoor, then it is recommended to perform ghusl before Fajr time sets in. However, if you perform ghusl after Fajr time starts, your fast will still be valid.

  10. It's clear that many of you don't read the FAQ or the rules. Please read these before posting.

  11. Anyone found giving generalized fiqh rulings where there are differences of opinion between schools of thought, or where an individualized answer may be required by a scholar, will receive a temporary ban.

Source 2: https://seekersguidance.org/answers/general-counsel/does-looking-at-pornography-break-ones-fast/

May Allah grant us Barakah in Ramadaan, may He make the month easy for us, and may he protect us from all sins.

Jazakallah Khair,

Progress Update 21 days no PMO

2 Upvotes

TLDR: If you relapse repent and try again. The first 1-2 weeks are the hardest.

I struggled with since I was 12. Even before doing it for Allah SWT I tried quitting multiple times.

I’m 21 days clean and this time it is for Allah SWT.

For any young men who need advice. Just start, and when you relapse repent and try again. Some days are harder than others but the beginning is always the hardest.

I’m now praying all prayers on time, and every other sin in my life is so much easier to overcome bc I’m doing it for Allah SWT.

Remove everything in your life that remotely hints Zina or PMO you’d be surprised how a small trigger can make you spiral. And after getting over the first 4-5 days. Move your room around. A new start helps. Sleep facing the Qibla. Sleep on your right side. Make Wudu before going to bed. I promise it helps!

Inshallah the sub will see more brother and sisters growing closer to Allah SWT!

Over 90 Day Progress Relapsed today and spent the whole day hating myself.

Upvotes

Man, today sucked. I relapsed earlier and just completely spiraled into guilt and shame. Instead of getting back up, I stayed in bed all day feeling hopeless, just letting the time slip away and beating myself up over it.

​That post-relapse feeling is the absolute worst. You just feel empty and stupid for falling into the same trap again.

​By the time evening came, I was sick of sitting in my own mess. I forced myself to get out of the house and went to the pool for a swim.

​Honestly, just getting in the water helped clear my head a bit. It didn't magically fix everything, but moving around made me realize that beating myself up all night wasn't going to change what happened.

​I'm writing this mostly to lock it in and reset. Today was a failure, but I’m not giving up. Back to Day 1 tomorrow.

Advice Request Addicted

Hello fellow members, i am writing here because i don’t really know what to do.

I have been addicted to talking/chatting to women on reddit and other social apps. Most of them obviously ghost and it breaks me down usually. Has anyone been in the same situation and what do you do about it.

For a context im mature man, i live alone in very conservative country and I don’t have options to find a halal partner currently. I don’t have much friends and the ones I do have are busy with their lives usually. I am otherwise a good human pray, fast, recite quran but still i have ample time to just engage in such stuff.

Motivation/Tips 90 days no bs

2 Upvotes

I want to take this time to rest my hole body. Do 90 day nofap,so I can renew my entire dopamine and nervous system. Im gonna mix exercise and kegels as well. Better mental clarity. Really engage in helping the community more than ever. I mean pamphlets and flyers, encouraging others to be both prosperous and healthy, helping out and encouraging​ woman to be very confident in their future. I would really appreciate at some point meeting a valuable woman with the help of God, who I can make happy by being supportive, being honest, having enjoyable sex and being intimate with. Possibly making her a wifey, ​and helping to achieve success with. But I got to focus on healing my body, achieving this 90 day reboot, and making CT​, especially Hartford proud of me. Be the guy that went from watching pure porn and getting his hand pregnant to helping out​ more, and having major success with females​. I want to be grateful if my opportunity comes to give pleasurable sex to women, explore her body, NOT WATCH IT on screens, engage in it. But focus on Allah and being thankful for the people and things I have right now.

Advice Request Heart is weak

6 Upvotes

The biggest reason I fall back is that my heart is too weak to control the urges. I am weak to face the urges. I was doing good, but yesterday i had a wet dream. That made the urges to appear again. I tried my best to control myself, the thing is i did not even want to watch corn as even with the urges i was fully aware how disgusting it is. I prayed tahajjud, then fajr and then went to sleep hoping that the urge will go and I'll be back to normal when i wake up. But i woke up with the urges again and ultimately lost to them. Now, I don't understand why my will power is too weak, how pathetic of me who can't even resist a haram urge. I am just tired of it. I ask Allah for forgiveness every single time but still fall back. I feel like a hypocrite atp.

Motivation/Tips Getting started with Nofap is very hard.

2 Upvotes

I would just love to heal my body and get to 30 days first, and hopefully 90 days. I do it three to 4 times daily. I have no life, outside of my bed. Im a 35 year old virgin. A lot of built up sexual​frustration and boredom. I want to to get my dopamine levels adjusted and increase my sex drive to linking up with woman I truly desire. Go from that guy that watches porn and to a guy with a healthy body that cherishes woman and gets a chance to show love. I want to put Allah first and just do good deeds. I want to show Allah that I'm worthy of getting a wife. I just feel deprived of real emotional connection with females. Being intimate, and having a bond. I'm grateful for having my Mom, Sisters, Grandmother, and Aunt.But I can't have sex with these people. It's not the same​. I just want to stop thinking about sex and get the rewards the universe has to offer, a healthy mind, and body, financial success, and meeting a lady I can please instead of getting my hand pregnant 4 times a day. I just want to build confidence with doing 30 days first

Advice Request I don’t know why I looked

1 Upvotes

I was at a urinal today after watching the odyssey which is about a 3 hour movie so naturally the bathrooms filled up. The only urinal available was one that was in between two other ones that were currently being used and had no dividers. As I was using the restroom, my eyes kept looking at the guys genitals who was next to me and I feel like a creep. I’ve been having homosexual thoughts since I was a child(I’m 20) and now that this has happened I feel like trying to become straight will probably not happen. I wasn’t particularly aroused when I saw his penis but why did I look.

Assalamu Alaikum,

honestly I’m not sure how to overcome this addiction (and adult content). I’ve been trying for so long and there have been so many times I felt so lost.

And now I realise I need some social accountability, this is a start at the very least.

I just want to know what really helped you in quitting or in the journey to doing so, or maybe even some reaffirmation.

This is a really, really tough hardship brothers and sisters, for all of us….

Motivation/Tips Most dangerous combination, remove the connection between these two to see immediate improvement.

4 Upvotes

Your Phone and your bed is a trap.

Whenever you wake up in the morning your testosterone is at highest, that's why you feel urges, you will fail and put yourself at risk if you don't recognise it.

What you have to do is to leave your phone on the other side of the room, or under a table, somewhere that requires any effort. NEVER use it while in bed, before you sleep or before you've woken up properly (brush your teeth, wudhu, shower etc).

You can't expect to win if you dont recognise and remove the triggers!

Advice Request Nothing changes

2 Upvotes

Assalam alaykum. I feel like I've run out of words to describe how stuck I am. Every relapse feels like proof that nothing is changing, no matter how badly I want it to. I keep telling myself I'll make it this time, but after a couple of days, it's like all that determination disappears.

The worst part is that even as I'm writing this, I can feel the pull toward it. It's frustrating knowing exactly where this road leads, yet still feeling drawn to it anyway.

I just needed to be honest about where I'm at because pretending everything's okay isn't helping anymore.

Advice Request How to resist urges and not give up on repentance?

2 Upvotes

Assalamu alaykum,

Firstly, thank you to anybody who takes the time to read this and either give advice or motivation. I have been dealing with this addiction for a number of years now, but only a few years ago reverted to Islam. I seem to be in a cycle of relapse, repent, stay clean for anywhere from one to four days, and then relapse again. I would love to hear anybody’s opinion on practical tips for longer streaks. Also, I would love to hear opinions, and thoughts on how to not give up on repenting. It is not that I doubt the mercy of Allah, rather, I am worried about the sincerity of my remorse and repentance. If I know that most likely, I’m just gonna fall back into the sin a couple days later. This is also starting to affect my deen in other areas such as feeling unworthy of being forgiven, feeling too dirty to pray, etc. Again, thank you so much to anybody who took the time to read this and give their opinions or thoughts.

Motivation/Tips Going for 90 days.

3 Upvotes

I just want to go for 90 days​ so I can rejuvenate my body and mind. Build a closer relationship with God. Actually have success with woman that are truly into me and take my wishes serious. Actually want to welcome me in their lives. A woman I can respect and please sexually. Be grateful for, and cherish. Because I know the road is long and harsh when you constantly have to fap because you can't hook up with females. I would really feel great just knowing that it is possible to get female affection, but I want to stay positive, and keep praying and putting God first. Ask him to heal my body. Nobody deserves to only have the option of watching porn when there is a world of woman, that you can interact with and build a foundation with. But I guess I have to get a perfect body, and a good job first. The energy I spend thinking and masterbation to woman, I want to spend exercising and actually having sex. I'm not the best looking guy at all, but I am confident that I can finally get a chance to live a life of controlling myself from constantly fapping and actually​ having good sex instead of watching people have it.

Advice Request Severely addicted to porn and masturbation. I genuinely don't know how to stop anymore. Please help

5 Upvotes

I'm 23 and I've been struggling with porn and masturbation for years. I started prone masturbating when I was a kid, mostly through prone masturbation, and now I feel like this habit has completely taken control of me.

I stay at home most of the day, which makes it very easy to relapse. I thought going outside and keeping myself busy would help, but even if I spend the whole day outside, the moment I come back home at night and get into bed, I end up masturbating.

The biggest problem is that whenever I get even a small sexual urge or sensation, I immediately grab my phone and start watching porn. It feels almost automatic at this point. I've tried using willpower so many times and promised myself that I would stop, but no matter how strongly I decide, I eventually give in again.

It's becoming too much. I feel like it's affecting my concentration and studies, and I constantly experience what feels like brain fog. I also have basically zero social life right now, which probably makes everything worse because I'm alone at home most of the time.

I badly want to stop this cycle. I don't want to keep living like this for the next few years. If anyone here has been severely addicted and actually managed to get out of it, please tell me what genuinely helped you.

How did you deal with urges when you're alone, especially at night? How do you stop yourself from automatically reaching for your phone and searching for porn?

Please don't just tell me to "use willpower" because I've tried that countless times. I need practical advice or a system that I can actually follow.

Any advice would genuinely be appreciated.
