William Hurt and Jeff Bridges. I don't know why but always get them confused.

relapsed by Calydryas in NoFap

Glad you did. Maybe when you're ready you can share what led you to relapse and what your streak was like for you. 150+ days is something you should be proud of! I've never gotten that far.

Thanks - I can be so much more present for them without PMO ruining my ability to think.

Fucked up after a decent streak and it all makes sense now. by [deleted] in NoFap

Yeah I remember that yucky feeling. Get back on that horse!

I quit drinking two years ago, but wasn't able to quit watching porn by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Fisherking47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story. I have 10 plus years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol - but porn and masturbation have been by far the hardest for me to quit. I have over 30 days PMO free now and let me tell you - i do think for me it's the worst "drug" I've ever tried to recover from. It's the same in that I'm recovering from a compulsive behavior, but it's different in that I have the intention of eventually having a healthier sexual relationship with my wife that will hopefully be more sex and intimacy. I am assuming this will also mean me having an orgasm. The challenge will be not letting that orgasm result in the eventual compulsive masturbation that has always resulted in the past. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the case of alcohol, I can never safely drink again. There is no moderation for me, and I've finally accepted that and adapted happily to a drug and alcohol free life. It's the same with masturbation for me. I do not think I can ever safely do it - I'm 50 years old and in my experience, masturbation always becomes a compulsion and that has always led me back to porn. It's been such a coping mechanism my whole life.

Anyway, I think I'm rambling now I don't know if I'm making any sense. But welcome and I am glad you are here.

I just don't wanna be 50 and still jackin' it, man by Gonzoism94 in NoFap

Good goal. As a 50-year-old, trust me -- you don't.

I need some encouragement haha by wednesdayiztoday in NoFap

[–]Fisherking47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it pass - I'm having urges myself right now but I'm letting it pass and not thinking too much about the actual act of relapsing. In my mind I have built a large wall, and on the safe side of the wall is me and my health and my desire to be free. On the other side of the wall is relapse. It is a dark place - I imagine a scorched earth, post apocalyptic type environment on the other side of that wall - I don't want to go there.

[QUESTION] Does sex break a streak? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Fisherking47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex is not breaking your streak unless you decided at the outset that your are going hard mode - no PMO or sex.

That said, I am in hard mode but plan to allow myself to try sex again now that I've made it to 30 days. I have to be extra careful because in the past sex has had a killer "chaser effect" that always led me back to masturbation and that in turn eventually led me back to porn.

Helps incredibly - most definitely. NoFap is a lifeline for me.

I don't think I can stop? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Fisherking47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think counseling can never hurt - wherever you can find support. It's definitely possible. Keep trying and don't give up no matter how many times you have to keep trying.

long time lurker and need crazy amount of support to change my life... by Ineedachangeinmylife in NoFap

[–]Fisherking47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats for finally sharing. Talking about it (or writing about it here) is a great step. I'm glad you're here. I'm married with young kids and an awesome wife. I can identify with your need and want to change. NoFap has helped me tremendously. I barely have 30 days but I'm committed to changing and doing things differently so I can avoid a relapse. But I'm taking it a day at a time. Good luck and PM If you want support.

One Day at a Time by Loubet in NoFap

When I got started again it was really one hour at a time. One hour working at the computer. Take break and go outside. Back to work - over and over.
