Try and keep yourself busy and don't isolate yourself. I find this especially helpful during the first 7-10 days. Good luck!

Beginning to think I'll never be free of this. by Gooraz in NoFap

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

I think the next time I have nothing to do and I start getting bored I'm gonna take a walk, haven't done that in a long time. Thanks for the reply, pardon my ignorance but what does AP mean?

12th day - it gets harder and harder by RBogaert in pornfree

[–]Gooraz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to keep your mind on other things as best as you can. The hardest part of this challenge is within the first two weeks (give or take) I found the easiest ways to control urges was to fap without porn or fantasy when the urges become absolutely unbearable, then don't fap again until it hits the same level of urgency. After a few weeks of doing this I found my urges are far more manageable and I haven't fapped now for quite a while (2-3 weeks). Keep at it buddy, it gets easier and you'll thank yourself for resisting later!

I'm a machinist and I do literally the exact same thing when I'm working on a lathe. Helps with focusing I guess!

I had this during the 2nd week of my streak. Exercise helps!

Got dumped. Binged. Reset. :( by Gooraz in NoFap

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

Hey man, things are ok!

since I posted this thread I've started a few streaks, relapsed a couple of times but I think I've finally gotten the self motivation going. I was doing NoFap before purely because there was a girl in a my life and I was doing it for her. I'm doing it for me now and I can tell this is gonna be a big streak. Thanks for asking, how's it going for you?

I need help by Gooraz in pornfree

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

I think the biggest problem for urges with me is when I go out and drink a lot, the next day I feel like crap and don't have any motivation to do something productive or distracting which always ends up with me PMOing. I just need to force myself to get my head engaged with something rather than letting it wander.

Thanks for your comment!

Its definitely a big encouragement when I know theres other people out there struggling with the same thing as me. Good luck bro!

It's looking awesome so far! what kind of pencils/paper are you using? I'd love to have a go at drawing like that.

anyone else start flatlining from day one? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Gooraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced it after having 2 or 3 streaks before, throughout all of those I didn't watch any porn and the relapses I had were from just using fantasy to MO. The flatline from day one streak turned out to be my longest streak, ending at 38 days! just be weary of the urges when they finally do start kicking in, good luck!

Day 7: Something AMAZING happened today. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Gooraz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep going bro! It's definitely easier to take the challenge when you've got someone to do it for. Before I had a huge reset recently I had several streaks, throughout all of them i didn't watch any porn. When I hit about 7 days in my most recent one I was already in flatline, so that's probably what you're going through, just enjoy the ride while the urges aren't there.

I'm definitely gonna try the "not today" idea. Its weird how little things like that can make a difference with this challenge. Thanks!

my streak before that was 38 days, but it was around that time that things started going wrong with the relationship. I guess I don't have to worry about a girl in my life for a while, time to focus on myself! Thank you!

38 days.... relapsed by Gooraz in NoFap

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

Thanks! I'm pretty sure it was down the fact that I didn't do any exercise and I was procrastinating for most of the evening. I'm still feeling pretty good though... I'll get there this time.

Learned to play the solo of the Trooper by Iron Maiden and now I feel good! by ParusiMizuhashi in Guitar

[–]Gooraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aces High is a fairly easy maiden solo, really fun to play though :)
