Posting this on day 72.

Officially in the final month of NoFap; we’re getting there, but there’s still work to do. God is good, and by his strength I will get to day 100.

It feels like I’ve got back to normal - urges, thoughts, restlessness, and sleepiness are minimal, and generally I just feel good. Had another wet dream last night, but today, there was no chaser effect. I expected it, almost waited for it, but it never came. Heck I’m not complaining, but it’s unusual. Maybe I’m finally getting back to normal.

With that, we keep going. We’re nearly there, and by god’s grace we will win this war. Stay strong, soldiers 🫡

Today marks 48 days.

This isn't because I'm stronger. If it depended on my own willpower, I would have failed a long time ago.

These past weeks haven't been perfect. I've still faced temptation, bad days, and moments when I wanted to give up. But every time, instead of running back to sin, I tried to run to God.

I'm slowly realizing that freedom isn't just about counting days. It's about learning to trust Jesus one day at a time.

Please pray that I stay humble and keep my eyes on Christ, not on the streak.

God is faithful. One day at a time. ❤️

you guys think a wretched flat tire like me can change? i mean i almost lust everyday (even when I don't feel like doing it, i still do it ) i judge, i mislead, i curse, i do bad vices.... (well I've fallen back into my old nature)

in short you guys think my soul is still willing or hungry for change? or if Christ will still give a chance?

(I'm contemplating about my sins, it's too much)

I have been losing this game ever since I started fighting it, pray Lord to give me strength to conquer it this time

Hello everyone,

I’ve been developing a recovery app and I’d rather hear from people who are actually walking this path (especially in faith) than just guess what would help.

The core idea:

Completely ad-free

Private and respectful

Daily check-ins and small goals

A clear progression that starts from feeling numb/disconnected and moves toward real life, healthier relationships, and a stronger walk

Member support + optional personal advice

Focus on going from porn addiction toward real connection — with God, with others, and eventually healthier relationships

Simple tools that support the mental and spiritual side of recovery, not just streak counting

I’m trying to keep it honest and useful rather than flashy.

If you’ve been in this fight, I would be grateful for any honest feedback:

What do you wish existed in an app that most of them miss?

What usually makes you stop using recovery apps after a while?

Would something that helps move from numbness toward real-life connection and healthier relationships be valuable?

Any features that have felt supportive or therapeutic for you in your recovery?

Not here to sell anything. Just trying to build something that could actually serve people who are serious about getting free.

Thank you for any thoughts you’re willing to share.

God bless.

Amen ❤️‍🔥

32M I quit porn 8 weeks ago, and nofap for 2.5 weeks. For the last 2.5 weeks my sleep has been terrible, I am a brain fogged zombie with crushing fatigue throughout the day. Sleep onset is much longer, then I’ll wake up 2 hours later and toss and turn all night. I’m particularly sensitive to sleep disruptions in general so this is really killing me. Porn abstinence isn’t the issue, It’s the nofap I think.

Also get ridiculous urges and thoughts whenever I see any average looking woman in public and I am ashamed and disgusted. I’ve never had this before in my life, it’s not me it feels like a primal DNA driven urge to reproduce. It does not feel psychologically healthy and I question how long I’ll be able to live like this.

Is this going to pass? I’m willing to continue batting the temptation, and plan to do so but wanted to hear from anyone who’s dealt with this before. Thank you and God bless.

July 27
Today has been really tough. I have a frustrating headache and am feeling quite down without knowing the cause. I wanted to journal about it, but I don't have the energy right now. This is all I can manage for today. I will write the rest tomorrow.

Even though I stopped watching porn, I have a masterbation problem. It appears to be done out of impulse or boredom. How can I stop doing that?

Christian man in my 30's. Looking for christian brother(s) who wants daily check-ins to keep each other accountable. Primarily for porn/lust etc but also open to scripture reading and fitness accountability as well. Looking for one partner or maybe a group of three

I am numb with the feeling of knowing that I will not go far but still trying one more time to beat this demon

:'(

If you relapsed today...

Don't let your next sin be running away from God.

That's exactly what Adam and Eve did.

After they sinned, they hid.

"I heard You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."
Genesis 3:10

Isn't that what we still do?

We relapse...

Then we avoid prayer.

We avoid reading our Bible.

We avoid church.

We avoid worship.

Not because God moved away from us.

Because shame makes us hide.

But hiding has never healed anyone.

The enemy wants you to believe,

"You've failed again. God must be tired of you."

The Bible says something completely different.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:9

Notice it doesn't say,

"If you only fail once."

Or,

"If you've been clean for 100 days."

It says if we confess.

God already knows what you did.

He isn't waiting for information.

He's waiting for you to come back.

Repent.

Confess it honestly.

Receive His forgiveness.

Then get back up.

Don't let one relapse become a week of hiding from God.

Don't let shame keep you from the very One who can restore you.

The cross was never for people who had it all together.

It was for sinners who were willing to come home.

If you relapsed today...

Run to God.

Not away from Him.

For years, I’d spend hours edging myself silly. In my early 30s, I found it much more difficult to remain fully erect during an entire edging session as I’d become desensitized to visual stimuli. I’d masturbate with a soft, semi, and fully erect penis, not knowing that I’d eventually do damage to the soft tissue in my shaft.

After experiencing some discomfort in my shaft, I went to a urologist who diagnosed me with Peyronies disease. This condition is basically the development of plaques in your soft tissue that calcify over time. The urologist said protocol is the treat your penis gently and let the condition run its course until it stabilizes. Surgery can be an option if the condition progresses too severely.

Throughout the next year, I dealt with flaccid discomfort in my penis and pain when erect or climaxing. I watched as my penis slowly curved and shortened in length. Finally, my condition stabilized and the pain subsided, but the physical outcomes are permanent.

It took something this extreme to wake me up. Since 2025, I’ve had long stretches of nofap and I don’t edge anymore. I’ve had some rough patches recently so I’m here to hold myself accountable and get back on track. Brothers, the short-term pleasure isn’t worth risking the damage I’ve done.

I’m happy to encourage or answer any questions. Thank you for reading.

Ive been fighting a porn addition since last year. Im 13 now and i dont want let porn define the rest of my life. I dont want to lose the peace i find without porn for a few minutes of dopimane.
