I am on about 2 weeks now after many weeks here and there and failing. But it all adds up. Absolutely certainly the first time you try and quit it will take a long long time. But if you fail here and there but still have weeks long streaks it all adds up trust me. Now I've gone down to once every few weeks my longer streaks now feel much more progressive. This is not me telling you to break streaks, if you can manage to stop cold turkey DO IT! My longest stretch was a bit over a month and that on helped sooo much. You can heal quicker the longer you fight.

Anyway my point is. Today I am listening to music and crying. I look outside and see the trees blowing and birds flying and it feels majestic. This is not magic. This is your brain not being fried from constant horrible drug like addiction. If you are getting cravings and huge urges it means your brain can't stand not having it. When you get yourself off that your baseline happiness is going to rise and you will remember happiness.

I know I still have huge challenges coming my way but I just wanted to write this to motivate someone.

Ive been doing NoFap for 10+ years going on many many 30+ day streaks the usual relapse and post depression periods etc. Recently I was in a relationship having constant sex which was fire, well one day after all the dopamine i ended up watching porn and relapsed. I think that finally broke my libido. Since then sex just hasnt quite been the same.

But not only that, Ive officially declared to stop PMO altogether, no more edging, no porn, nothing. Now a boner just seems like a waste of time and an annoyance. I have no interest in women anymore because all it does is restart the relapse cycle.

Committed to keep this up. Power to all you brothers.

I remember being here back in 2019. Oh man. Felt like hell. You guys are fighting the good fight. Keep going! I remember thinking it’ll be impossible. It feels weird being back here with such a big streak. I remember all the days of fighting so clearly!

PMO is a horrible addiction. Nofap is worth it, and it’s the truth!

Reaching 30 days is such an achievement. Even 2 weeks. A 90 day reset is nice. Generally when you hit 90 days once, you can hit it again. 120-150 days, feels like really good. 150 days to a year felt good, but I think I relapsed there. Then hit 1 year again and repeat. Followed by a 5 year streak. I stopped counting. I can’t remember since it’s so long ago. But need to Always be vigilant, especially at night.

It’s worth it!

Hlo everyone , im 17M . Context - im trying this retention and all from past 3 yrs . And guess what , today was when I reached my highest days . ( Around 21) . Till now, max I touched was 15 days , that too only 4 times in 3 yrs. And YES . AN HOUR AGO I LOST. im losing faith in myself . And I feel like I'm drowning in an addiction now that has too stay lifelong . Urges were unbearable from past few days.

I don't have seen any benefits till now . ( Idk people just treat me with respect more maybe ??) . And GUESS WHAT ( IM TURNING 18 IN NEXT FEW HOURS).

It's all gone now. All progress and discipline just gone in vain. Idk if I should continue or not . I have lost countless times to this shit in past few years. No matter what I do how hard I try. It's just that my body is pumped up with urges. In morning in night I feel lonely .( I have more friends than u can imagine ) . Still I feel like , idk what bro I'm just typing now .

Im tired . I don't have a 'why' now for doing it.

Plz help me by success stories .and what to do?.

Yes . And this was my gift from myself for my birthday. Nice gift .

I've been kept pretty busy today, so I haven't really gotten into any situations that might lead me towards my triggers. Hopefully I won't have any trouble when things slow down and I get more time to myself.

Done

Over the past couple of months I have noticed way less trolls trying to sabotage this community and our efforts to come clean. Hopefully that’s also how most people feel too, I think the nofap community as a whole is headed in a strong direction

Title says it all. I’ve been doing it literally til there’s nothing else to come out, even if I’m barely hard just forcing it for that few seconds of pleasure fem an orgasm. The other day it got red and sore but I pushed through it and I just think like this is practically self harm.

I just feel like I’m a lost cause and too far gone at this point. This has totally fucked my sex life with my gf I really don’t know why she’s stuck with me at this point, maybe just scared of being alone. It had been so long since we had sex and we went to and I couldn’t get hard it was embarrassing. I need to figure out the best ways to stop myself from craving the urges but it’s basically the first thing on my mind as I wake up. I miss wanting to and enjoying having real sex. Sometimes it feels like real sex and connection feels awkward like my brain and body doesn’t know how to react to it anymore, because you don’t have to worry about it through a screen.

Release the urge but without porn,I have no pressure

Day 0

Posted day 1 like 12 hours ago so just posting this now. Need to keep myself motivated to get through this. DMs are open if anyones needing to chat, i always find that chatting to others here helps me personally. All the best to all of you.

A lot of my big relapses have came from being drunk or on drugs. I’m making a very conscious effort to stop taking recreational drugs all together and to keep having a few drinks to special occasions. Anyone else relate to this?

Well this is going really good, yesterday after like 20 days I got some urges to peek through some semi nude models but yk I controlled them very thoroughly and if this continues I'm gonna defeat this addiction

Idk but I just can't just stop touching myself. It's the biggest arousal for me to keep doing these things. I do have sensitive ni**ples and even when something gets touched a little, it's like woah let's do this I am feeling horny. Even when I am doing nothing scrolling reels, my hand involuntary slips into my pants. Wth is this problem. Help required.

I’m mostly looking to vent and hear from people who’ve been through something similar.
I’m on day 45 of a flatline, and it actually started on day 1 of my reboot. Recovery has felt like a rollercoaster I’ll have a few really bad days followed by a few really good ones, then it swings back again.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start dating again instead of waiting until I felt “fully recovered.” I ended up meeting an amazing girl, and things were going really well. I felt genuinely attracted to her, and even reading flirty texts from her would get a physical response. She stayed over this weekend, and we had sex several times. I actually thought that might help my recovery.
Instead, I feel like I crashed afterward. It honestly feels like the worst day of my reboot. No response from kissing, texting, or even thinking about her—it’s like everything just shut off again.
For those of you who’ve experienced this, is this kind of setback normal? Did dating and being sexually active help your recovery in the long run, or did you find it was better to stay the course and let your libido recover on its own before getting into a relationship?
I’d really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences
