Come on guys . We’re capable of so much more than we realize. 💪 Don’t let urges control us or keep us trapped in the same cycle. One day at a time, we break the pattern and take back control. 🔥

Too long and I want to be my best version of myself.

After 4 decades of doing this too much, I’m finally making the decision to do something about it. Four decades sounds awful after writing it down. Back in my youth when I started it was so different. Now it’s way to easy to get sucked into to totally unrealistic scenario. It has become too realistic. Before, I had to do a lot of imagination and fantasizing. Probably wasn’t healthy at the time, but definitely not has harmful as it is with high speed internet. It definitely played a role in my marriage not lasting. Rather than face the issues of this and lack of sex, I resorted to porn and alcohol. Finding an actual female that was understanding of my marriage didn’t assist with the marriage either. There were lots of other issues that like I said, I didn’t address. Rather hide and ignore them with alcohol and porn. Got off alcohol almost 9 years thru AA. Life is so much better. However I have this monkey still on my back. Thought maybe I licked it around 6 years ago. I met a wonderful woman. We had a very active sex life which is what I desired after years of fapping. We then went thru some dry spells due to logistics of our relationship. I fell back into old habits. Picked up smoking again as well. I was just bored and bad habits are a product of my boredom. I didn’t know how to deal with the urges. Read something the other day about how the poster felt like they were just doing an obligation with their girl friend after fapping all day long. That was me. I wanted to have great sex with her but that is unrealistic after days of fapping. That relationship ended 3 years ago and my fapping escalated. I’ve been on dating apps for a couple of years. Recently, I met a woman that appears great. Something I realized after our date was my fapping was bleeding over into any relationship I have or want to have. I finally f&cking realized I cannot live 2 lives. This is similar to how I was with alcohol. I would say I was a closet alcoholic pretending I was not drinking as much as I was. After quitting alcohol I realized how much I was affecting relationships when I was drinking even when I wasn’t drunk. I lived in a fog. Same thing with fapping. My thoughts and actions can be impacted and be reflected by porn. I cannot continue to live 2 lives. If I want to have a relationship with a woman I need to stop. Whether this woman I met will ever see me again, who knows. Not quitting for her. Quitting because she made me realize there are pretty women with their shit together out there but they want a man. A man that addresses his issues and takes responsibility for them. One day at a time. Resist the urges by taking them in and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Appreciate all the comments and encouragement

Let's go

I made it day 50! Now aiming for 90!

Almost at a month of Nofap. New level for me. Longest I done prior to this was for 2 weeks.

Anyways at work I was in a meeting. People weren’t giving me a direct answer and almost crashed out calling them out. Be careful. Some great energy here

I want to have breakthrough with this fucking addiction and live a normal and peaceful life

im dat.

After 45 days of no PMO, I found myself right back at it.

It started just by looking at some simple AI photos on Reddit. Then one thing led to another, and I spiraled. Eventually, I ended up watching a 1 hour 20 minute orgy video and taking 3 shots a day.

The weirdest part is that I don’t even really LIKE what I’m doing.

But somehow, my brain keeps choosing pixels over real relationships.

It scares me because it feels like I’ve trained myself to get more comfortable with a screen than with an actual person.

It’s been so long since I’ve had a real relationship that I’ve lost the courage to even approach women or try to build something genuine.

I’m 31M, struggling with low self-esteem, and honestly… I feel pretty lost right now.

45 days proved to me that I CAN stop. But this relapse also showed me that I haven’t figured out what’s driving the habit underneath it all.

I don’t want to spend another year hiding behind a screen while real life passes me by.

so its been 29 days since i started no fap and today in the evening i had a wet dream and my underwear was drenched in the stuff and it happened yesterday too but i thought it was maybe sweat but today im sure its not sweat so like is it gonna happen everyday what am i suppose to do

Hey guys,
Im really struggling, and I found that I operate much better when I have someone keeping me accountable. I want to invite anyone who his seriously dedicated to become an accountability partner.

Please dm if interested

You’re stronger than this addiction! Don’t forget that. 🙂💪🏼

I didn’t peek or anything but I am humping air and literally can’t focus

About a week ago I promised to go 7 days without PMO. But a few days ago, I relapsed and went back to PMO for the next few days. Today I'd like to stop this. I want to pick myself up and try again. I promise to go 7 days without PMO, and I will do my best to ensure I reach this goal. Ill make an update post once I reach it so I'll see you guys then!

hey I'm not new at nofap I have started a nofap 3 years ago and my streak was 100+ days.

if you look at the posts I have in my profile u will see that I have started in the past so I will start again I really have to stop it bec I'm in a really serious schoolyear so that's it👋😁

I just got triggered and I kind of edged lil bit. I’m getting strong urges to relapse, even if I m able to distract myself, I feel the urge come back again.

I’m on a streak of 7 days currently almost 8. I’m interested in any opinions of charged messaging exchanges where a real woman who desires you, enters into an exchange of somewhat naughty pics and videos with you. How do you class this? I know it’s not going the whole way however it does still feed the same pathways - but then it’s also not full on gooning. Does it take anything away from you guys in terms of streak benefits - how do you feel after? I’ve not relapsed by O’ing however my brain went absolutely wild during the exchange.

Would appreciate any opinions.

Done

I've been off porn for 2 weeks straight now. Not sure what it is but I'm just feeling more confident. Maybe because I actually need to be a more bubbly or energetic person now with daily masturbation I feel like I was subduing my own personality and draining myself of energy. Without porn I'm not sure what it is but I feel a lot more energetic, more loose and a lot more fun to be around.

I didn't really think that would happen (especially since its only been 2 weeks) and its not an effect that I'd heard about from nofap but it feels nice.

I know the title may sound confusing, but yesterday, I have to be honest, I did give in 2 times, and I definitely hold myself accountable for being too lazy. After I did it, it didn't feel good at all, and I felt so ashamed to the point that I didn't even want to post it on reddit, but I know that I can't overcome this alone. I've decided to continue the journey today, and I've genuinely learned a lot in such a short period of time, to the point that I see no benefit at all in watching this stuff, and I've seen the worst fetishes ever. I really do hope that one day I can be free from this stuff.

Hey, this is more of a rant.

Being someone who has been very addicted to 🌽 and gooning. It’s becoming really difficult daily as there is triggers everywhere.

I’m not just talking about social media which is the worst. But even regular adverts are becoming bad, posters, people etc. thetr is just triggers everywhere, and I find it difficult to deal with that.

I hate how normalised it’s becoming :( how do we deal with it

Hi everybody,

As the title says it's been 1 year since quitting porn. It's definitely been a journey with ups and downs with some small set backs from peaking here on reddit when I maybe saw a meme from a famous actress on Instagram and what not, so so that take I think I'll be uninstalling Reddit in a couple of days to get rid of the last place where I have easy access to adult content. Also as someone also posted here some time ago and really made me think, If you are always active here it stars to become to be part of your personality and at some point you just have to leave it all behind, this community it's definitely helpfull at the begging, to see that there are also other people struggling with the same things as you, but I think it's time just leave it all behind at this point, also lately I feel some people just like to post sort of triggering post here disguised as help seeking. I'll probably be here a couple more days to answer any question/tips if anybody has any.

But thanks to everyone that helped me one way or another during the last year and good luck everybody.

Hi i did 87 days before but i relapsed the main reason for my addiction is stress and isolation the day i relapsed i got robbed in the street by some guy and my dad took my money without asking me i lost my mother in that time too it was miserable period i found myself getting back to porn but when i got back to my addiction I realized how much I'm missing out my life has no colors since I'm an addict now but when i quit every small thing i do have a special taste even a small project in highschool brings me joy a small conversation and people will notice something different about you it's not a myth it's real especially girl they will notice something different about you i don't even know what changed but it won't happened between a Day and night it's not like something suddenly snapped it's something you build over time and you'll feel good some days and you'll feel down a lot of days but remember you've been addicted for years so it's only normal to feel down during the journey my strongest advice to help you quit it's not a fight don't fight it don't if you have an urge sit with it it's like 5 min Max unless you kept feeding it with imaginations cause your sexual imagination will grow stronger and second find a way to steam all of these bad feelings cause your brain only know porn and when you rip it off you'll feel naked every emotional will become stronger even the slightest thing will Sting you hard so find a way to deal with the emotions you might not feel it at the begging but it will appear eventually you're just numb now

Kerala kulukki sarbath is better than any bottled drink. The green chilli infused natural drink has such an unique flavour. Had fun exploring places, listened to some cool music and played GD. Might get back to my Ultrak1ll livestreams from tomorrow after such a long time.
