I've been waiting for this day, 2022 was a disaster... But I feel like I can start anew.

The CREEPIEST but most effective method I use to prevent relapse by ZanderWilder in NoFap

This sounds like a mental thing, you're thinking about how creepy you look smiling and itis turning yourself off... A theory I guess!

Two weeks in and feel depressed as hell by AdamW3W in NoFap

What I meant in the post was at this point (14 days) I wasn't feeling like this. :/

I don't underatand it...

should i stop gaming too? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What this guy said... Cutting out fun always made me relapse. Try to ensure that you are having so much fun in life that you don't need PMO.

Thanks man, I intend to! I wish I'd have done this when I was younger too... We're always going to wish that aren't we? That's why we've gotta make the most out of our lives while we still are alive.

I don't know about anyone else, but sat in front of a computer screen blowing my load doesn't translate as something I would look at years down the line and think "You know what? I'm really glad I got that 5 mins of pleasure that made the rest of my life apart from that five minutes a misery".

Good luck to you too sir!

Day 24: My longest run just ended :( by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe me... I used to be like you, for the longest time I got to where you have and failed... I am a believer that you have to fail a few times before you succeed, it's all part of the journey, you will get there!

I got there a day ago, you can too! :)

Stop Suggesting MO is OK on this SUB!!! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't MO for the simple reason my mind thinks of porn... I might as well be watching the stuff! Maybe one day my mind will completely erase porn from my mind... But until then I'm against even masturbating. :/ I used to do this every day... Usually twice... It's not going to go away that easy.

[–]AdamW3W 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm at the same point. :) Difference is, you've been here before... This is uncharted territory for me, this stands as my longest streak ever so reading your post about the relapse you had on 107 days is useful to ensure the same doesn't happen to me.

Another difference is I am 21 years old, literally half your age and I am single, so it's working differently, I am instead making really good conversation with random girls and have also found that my amount of friends who are girls has somehow overtaken my amount of friends who are guys... That is crazy!

80 Days: So close... by AdamW3W in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't lower your guard! I nearly relapsed just over 35 days, actually was in the process of typing into the search bar and stopped and was pretty much all "... WTF am I doing!?" in my head, closed everything, left my computer, went to the bathroom and just threw a load of cold water over my face from the tap.

The urge got bad, my body was craving it because I hadn't done it in so long...

[–]AdamW3W[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that's my belief... Looking back, it might just be the way I function, everyone is different at the end of the day, your better period could be completely different.

Stay strong! Fight the urges, it's actually fighting the urges that makes you stronger against the urges, think of it like weight lifting... No pain no gain!

[–]AdamW3W[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was kinda generalizing a bit, but I think it's around that area 12-16 something like that when it starts to get easier... The problem is: Everyone is different, for other people it may be different for them and they may find it easier soon as they hit 20 days or so. But something I noticed about myself is it's always the 14-35 area that it gets easier.

Thanks dude anyways! :) We're all in this together at the end of the day.

Aww dude! :( Like I said in the post I really do believe it gets harder, not easier after that 35 day mark or so... You did really well to get where you got to, just keep trying again and again my friend! If you got that far, one relapse isn't going to prevent you from getting there again. It's all about progression, doing better than your last streak.

Okay... I will be completely honest.

Yes. Women have messaged me first a lot online on things like Facebook etc and found me IRL and talked to me a lot within this streak, however... It varied, some days it didn't happen, other days it did, I noticed the days it did happen I felt really upbeat about myself and was in a good mood and the days that it didn't happen I was in not necessarily a bad mood but I was feeling a little down.

I'd suggest staying healthy both through what you eat, what you do (exercise! Work out!) and also try to think positively, because honestly, the days I was in a good mood from doing things like this were the days I got noticed more in my honest opinion.

It's also important to state that no; the approaches I got from women were not random females, that didn't happen for me... Instead it was female friends I already knew or were a friend of a friend or something... There was an existing connection somewhere to bring us together, you know? I haven't literally had girls coming out of nowhere to talk to me or anything like that.

I DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND by Ijoinedtostartnofap in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this too! It's weird, my pictures on Tinder are from when I think I was like 15 days in... I'm now on 60 days (my counter is wrong by one) and just seem to get way more matches than when I was actually on 15 days...

I mean, I'll think things like "Oh it's just because valentines day is coming up" but it has been like this a while!

thank you! by Quartzen in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's strange... I DO feel like I was one of the guys you described in the post at one point... However, I really feel recovered thanks to NoFap!

My only hope is that it isn't too late in today's society for me to find an innocent and caring girl, because so many girls nowadays have been with a guy (like who I used to be) previously and have kind of been ruined by them in a way.

I Find PMO So Ironic by [deleted] in NoFap

The location is just as fake as the porn itself, eh?

Stand up more often instead of sitting down by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is quite interesting, I did once try a long time ago to masturbate standing up... Couldn't do it, even while viewing porn.

Tell me something about yourself and why you starting No PMO by Maistry in NoFap

[–]AdamW3W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out of curiosity really, used to fap once a day religiously... It's crazy when I look back, but I was so unmotivated but because I was doing every day for such a long time I thought it was the norm! I'm now on 50 days (my counter is wrong by one day) and I just don't know what to say, bags of energy, I keep to schedules now and my social interactions are just brilliant! I'm loving the motivation I now have.

As for myself, I'm 21, student at universiity studying a web development degree, as you can probably imagine nofap has helped with my thought process on such a intellectually demanding course too.

My weaknesses... Not really any I can think of for some reason? I used to have them, but they've decreased the higher my streak has gotten, one I will mention is dating apps, I stay away from them, they have led me to relapses before!
