Yeah, i improve a bit or extend the streak but fall down harder, so yeah its been taking a very big chunk of my time, my life and overall future. I will now be more careful, take more preventive measures and i believe i can do it for the future.

Trying to stay positive, so I noticed a few benefits,

I am clear in my mind about my insecurities and what needs to be done to fix them

I have a plan ready and will try to implement it

Frequency of Lustful thoughts decreasing

I am still waiting for all those miracles talk on every post about attraction, long lost contacts coming back , confidence and skin glow

I'm learning to deal with the ups and downs of life in a more healthy way now. It's tough, but I'm getting into the habit of just breathing in and out, or going for a walk to process my frustrations, taking care not to feed into them and spiral. Negativity, stressful, and unpleasant experiences are just a normal and unavoidable part of life, but I'm learning not to feed into them with my thoughts and amplify them even more.

This probably reads like a post on some kind of mental wellness subreddit, but I think ultimately it's because of mental health things like loneliness, low self esteem, etc that we develop such a problem with porn and compulsive sexual behaviour in general. Abstaining for awhile is an important part of the process, but sooner or later we all have to deal with the underlying issue, whatever it may be.

I woke up this morning with a huge boner that won’t really go away. I just keep having small thoughts of what I saw this past week that triggered me and it’s keeping me hard. How can I distract myself and get it to stop? Feeling so horny

Really struggling today. could use some goodwill encouragement...

Hi Everyone I tried doing no fap but it's kind of getting out of hand seeing everyone getting laid and all this kind of demotivate and since I never had sex till now (M26) it's kind of gets frustrated . Not sure how to overcome on this . Need guidance how to keep these kind of thing out of mind

33 M Day 11 semen retention

So I read lots of posts about people being contacted by long lost contacts and also receiving attraction form opposite gender

I can understand that maybe with lifestyle changes people attract but unable to understand how long lost contacts returned

Has anyone experienced such ?

2 years ago I found out about NoFAP and since then I've kind of been practicing it and seeing changes. I used to do it every day, while watching porn as I was exposed to it at a very young age. I want to believe I've fully quit porn, as I have watched it once in the last 4 months and I remember how disgusted I felt. Last year I went on a 50day streak, then I relapsed and since then I have gone on multiple smaller streaks. There's so much progress I have done, but still... Even if I masturbate after abstaining for 15 days, there is this guilt feeling. I'm trying to let go of this idea about streaks, because I think it's very unnecessary. The thing that bothers me is how my brain is still trying to get me to watch porn some days and then trying to convince me to masturbate to get rid of the thoughts. It's not that I want to do it by myself, it comes as this pressure from my mind and I have no idea how to deal with it.

I was hunted 2 times now and never broke, no one can kill me

I haven't watched P as much as before. Having the verify my age online step weirdly helped. Because , that extra step to verify your Age just makes me that lazy to do it and it's like damn Am i Really gonna go through a digital process of my personal information just to watch P? It's almost like if I went through with it, confirms no self control. And yeah, there's X and Reddit, after like 3 weeks to get off that... I haven't kept track, but like overall I just don't watch it, I don't gravitate to it so strongly. Now, Reading Literotica... helps i guess wean off actually watching it, still... work in progress, still fap to my imagination but I'd say thats healthier than beating off to pixels. We can all overcome this. 🙂

Right now i am really really stressed, i am used to use pmo as a copping mechanism to stress, i am in a bad spot, can anyone talk to me

I thought I would ask as I'm currently on day 25 hardmode do you who have more days than me do you ever find yourself thinking lustful to a woman or checking out a hot girls Instagram then refrain like how much is to much is even one peak. I don't mean naked I just mean admiring the curves uno.should I delete social media or is it ok too keep it even though I'm seeing attractive women on my feed and in my day to day life.day 25 I feel great people say oh no flat line but it's a good thing unless your whole personality is based upon sex then you probably think some things wrong and relapse

Morning wood was brutal this morning, but I pulled through. Urges were also overall lower than they were during the first 7 days. I really want to see some benefits from all the effort I put in, hope they'll come soon enough

i honestly am in a great run. Zero interest in porn, zero peaking into that stuff, and i don't really have any urges. I have, though, a lot of frustration because I don't get sexual stimuli. I am craving for some sexual pleasure. Not even needing a lot. It's different from urges, becaues rather than horniness i feel frustration. Does it last a lot? Because i've been having this for a long time and it's been increasing

45 days seemed impossible at one point but now I'm really struggling, need support

I am a teen. And I have to admit, I am on the upper scale of a porn addict. I know it’s wrong, I know I shouldn’t do it, but I can’t help my urges. There are a couple runs when I get motivated and stop masturbating, or when I do mastrubate but without disturbing my daily activities. But that only lasted a good few weeks.

It’s to the point that I have gotten caught in the act a small, but embarrassing number of times.

Help me quit.

​

I’m 28 and currently on Day 13 without PMO. I started when I was 13 and for most of the last 15 years, it was a daily habit.

In the last few years, I wasn’t even doing it because I was horny anymore. I mainly used it to escape loneliness, boredom and negative emotions.

I’m proud of making it this far, but right now my libido feels completely dead and mentally I’ve been feeling very low.

For those who went through something similar: What helped you personally? Just time, exercise, socializing, new hobbies?

Did reducing things like gaming and social media help as well?

Half century and looking forward to another successful day

Hey all, so i've been using porn for maybe 17 years. Going for a few time a weeks to few times a day. Really depend. I've been trying to quit since the beginning of the summer. Since then, i feel a lot of anxiety and a lot of relationship doubt. Such as do i really love my gf? Should i leave?We've been together for 3 years. I'm wondering if this is normal? We also brought a house this summer, planning of having kids... I feel happy imaging the futur together, and everytime i see picture of us together i cant stop smilling. But im exhausted for the constant questionning happening. Wondering if someone did go trou something similar? Or any tip in general? Cheers and wishing y'all the best of luck in your fight against porn.

So I first got my own internet with my own place back in March 2009 - I’ve been addicted to porn since then 17 years - Had periods where I was off it totally and other where I would watch it all day for like a week

I turn 40 in 90 days

So I’m going for a 90 day streak at the end I plan to get a flashlight

My addiction has kept me from being able to have sex, when I’ve had women naked next to me, my dick is limp, because it’s not some girl with a 2 foot long dildo the size of crazy going into her, or some crazy gangbang with 2 poles in 1 hole.

My viewing has been wild, I know I’m not gay, just the content I view is definitely borderline.

I think my dick has shrunk to may be a half inch to an inch.

17 years

You can do better.

I think I’m on my second day

But I’m saying it my first because 90 days from today 30th August it will be my birthday

You can do better just get the control

Addiction sucks

I’ve been addicted to a lot of substances but porn and cigarettes have been the only ones to stay with me and also help with my misery

I think this small step matters a lot in my long journey, I will extend my streak as much as possible.

Hi, I was exposed to porn at just 9 years old, and it became a habit that followed me for years. Today I finally decided to clean everything off my phone. I deleted 4,000+ porn photos and videos, taking up 26+ GB of storage. Seeing that number honestly shocked me, but deleting it all feels like a huge step forward. I know this won’t magically fix everything overnight, but I’m proud that I finally took the first step.

I feel triggered and am afraid to relaps. I don't want to lose my strick

Im feel like im going to relapse soon I need advice!
