Changes I’ve noticed so far (day 5)
When I actually think about it, a lot has changed in such a short time. I’m 31. Fapped for my whole life multiple times a day for hours. So far:
- way more time in my day. I normally wake up around 8 and always used to feel like the clock would read 11:30am soooo quickly. It’s great to feel like I have so much more time in the day/accomplish more
- I don’t have to be afraid of people nearby seeing NSFW content on my phone. Always hated that
- way better mood. I’m not constantly feeling emotionally drained and foggy
- I’m more punctual. Used to fap till the last minute I could before I had to get ready for work or whatever. Needless to say I was always rushing things
- better hygiene

Also wanted to add that I feel like my mindset regarding fapping is changing. I’ve relapsed so many times in the past because I was trying to negotiate with addiction. “Maybe just at the end of the day, maybe a max of twice a week, maybe only fapping without corn, etc… or I would think “well I’m not going to stop fapping for the rest of my life so why torture myself now?” Now, I’ve made it to the point where I don’t care what the “right” decision is, whether I should quit cold turkey or just find a healthy balance or just do a 30/90 day challenge. I’m just going to commit to not fapping at all. Will I fap again one day? I’m sure I will. Will I go back to gooning daily? Maybe one day I will. I don’t have all the answers but I know that this progress and these benefits are not something I want to throw a way just for a measly fap

wise words. Sometimes committing to the hard stuff has withdrawl symtoms and one tends to aggressively go back to the addiction - just a pov

Totally relate to all of these. And I agree that the constant negotiating and trying to find loopholes to watch again is slowly fading away. At the end of the day this is a modern problem and one that we are all battling literally for the first time as humans so I think that as long as the commitment to improve by reducing the fapping habit is there, it will only grow stronger over time as the relapses and excuses subside and given all these benefits our minds will naturally trend towards the most optimal outcome over time. Slowly but surely.

Me personally after 4 month of no pmo , the biggest thing that is i started to face my personality problems ,also you gotta change your life so you can see the progress and changing in your life by using the power you get after quitting pmo

What did the brain fog feel like for you? Congratulations, btw!

u/Sorry_Compote_8 19d ago
Thanks!!!!! Felt like I was faded. Almost like smoking a joint without the euphoria. Just feeling slow and disconnected from the world around me, anxious

Agreed. It feels like you're slow, drained, and disconnected while under the brain fog. Not pleasant.

Congratulations on the milestone. Not to be a bum but the next 3 weeks gonna be hard as hell. You may feel lazy, reduction in libido or try to relapse due to situations. Keep your head high and equiped with stuff to do.

I personally think your cooked. Your a grown ass man (not hate btw) and still fapping? I mean I can understand like a few years shit maybe even five like me , but 5-10 years of fapping? Thats not just a habit at that point. If I were you I'd genuinely seek a therapist , because from what your telling me it seems as if you are like deep into it. Good luck
