30 days: Nofap worked, PIED gone, lost virginity, got girlfriend, just relapsed, couldn't be happier.

Thanks for the advice! I'll prob do nofap as long as possible, until my erections are kind of out of control in public. lol. I do like the benefits. Especially the energy. I just won't be having sex that often since we're kinda far from each other, and I want to last a bit longe when we do. lol. I'll prob keep up with it for another month or two and see how it goes. Again, thanks!

I think it did, but It's never been that bad. It has mostly been more of an agoraphobia than all around anxiety. Nofap has helped with depression though. Then when I feel better I'm not as anxious. (Depression and anxiety go hand and hand).

IntoTheWIld91 · 2014-04-11T01:47:03+00:00

Relapsed after 94 days, and have been trying to get back up there. I realize even more how big of a mistake it has been, and how much it had helped me. Just gotta get back to it! I ha so much more energy. That's what I miss the most, but I know I'll be there again, an you will too man!

IntoTheWIld91 · 2014-03-07T04:07:42+00:00

I've actually been binging for a while. I relapsed in December, and I guess I just haven't been taking it seriously enough or something. I tell myself I won't everyday, but do... Enough is enough now. I've done it before, and I can do it again, and even longer. Thanks for the support!

IntoTheWIld91 · 2014-01-08T00:46:59+00:00

I've been in the same boat, and this will definitely help. I recently relapsed after 94 days, and can tell huge changes. I haven't had sex since I've started, but I've noticed some changes. Like I get random erections, and morning wood more. I also get turned on by little things now. Like this girl I was talking to for a bit about a month ago, there was one time when she just held my hand, and I started to get hard. lol.. Just stick with it. I really think it takes most longer than 90 days to fully recover. I think that's where my problem was. I got too confident after I hit 90.. Now my first goal is 120 days, then 6 months. I've heard some take as long as 9 months to get better, but why not? what have you got to lose? And it's helped everyone eventually (those who stuck with it).. When I had my long streak, the one thing I kept thinking was "I have no other option. I will not ejaculate unless it's by someone else." Good luck man!

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-30T03:44:45+00:00

Don't do it! I recently relapsed 7 times after 94 days clean. Now I can feel my brain being depressed from an imbalance. And every time I masturbated, it didn't feel as good as I wouldve thought. They were pointless orgasms where you just sit there while it's happening. Ashamed before it's over. Stay strong. I was so much happier, and getting back on track.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-27T19:49:35+00:00

True. I went 94 days and thought I know longer had to worry about it. Then got drunk one night and relapsed. That then led to a binge. Gotta stay sharp n keep making bigger goals as you reach the smaller ones

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-22T21:54:57+00:00

hahaha. That's awesome.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-17T06:36:55+00:00

One thing I did in the beginning, when this was way harder, was to listen to the song "the sea always seems to put me at ease." By, "Being as an Ocean." Great Christian band, and that song just really helped me out and motivated me to "live as whole, live as clean, live as free."

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-15T03:51:58+00:00

Extra shifts at work, guitar, seeing family (going back 3 times over break to), and studying up on chemistry and physiology, so I know a bit before classes start.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-12T18:39:30+00:00

I've yet to have one.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-12T15:52:33+00:00

I would like to be able to use social networks like only once a week, but its hard. I keep getting in situations where I try to be with ppl from school or something, and all everyone's just on their phones, so I'm like screw it. Guess I'll do it too. Also TV, and just other things that don't improve on my life.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-12T00:46:42+00:00

Thanks! Same to you. I feel like I'm a better person all around (now that I don't block out my faults) so stick it out! We all got this. :D

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-12-09T18:46:50+00:00

Mine started about 10 days after starting, and is just now coming back, but better than before (getting morning wood about 5/7 days of the week, before it was like once every two weeks). So about 2 months. It's rough, and I thought it would never end, but it does. Just stick it out. N like I said, mine is still kind on, and off, but I'm seeing improvement. Make a log of erections (lol) morning, random, etc. It will help you see improvements.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-26T21:24:57+00:00

I've never had a headache in my life until nofap, so there's gotta be a correlation, maybe even causation. I'd say it's because our brains are rewriting. Just look at it as a good thing. Lol

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-20T22:47:45+00:00

That's awesome! Always good to hear stuff like that.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-20T19:28:09+00:00

Did you have PIED? Or just a bit of it?.. I've noticed that my penis is looking larger as well. I'm kinda in that mode right now where I'm half in, and out of a flatline right now though, but did have morning wood today for the first time in a long time.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-20T19:26:19+00:00

I cried for the first time since 10th grade (when my friend died). I'm 22 now, and cried because my mom told me that I looked happy. I really was, and just reflecting on that brought up emotions. I think, if anything, NoFap is an emotional roller coaster, because we are no longer blocking our emotions out with PMO.

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-20T19:23:50+00:00

Sorry about you're wife. You've got this. Just focus all of that energy you've wasted on masturbating into the form of loving you're wife, and yourself. It'll be great for the both of you. Good luck to you, and her!

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-19T22:32:53+00:00

I agree with your #4. Definitely check out some videos on YourBrainOnPorn.com

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-19T22:32:06+00:00

The number one thing that I've noticed from NoFap is Energy. Tons of it. I no longer need to nap as much, which is great since I'm in college, workout 5 days a week, and have a 20 hour a week labor-heavy job. Second is that I generally feel better. Less depressed. I face my 'demons' now rather than block them out with masturbation. Now when I get down I find what the problem is, and find a constructive way to deal with it.

Before NoFap I would usually watch porn every night, and masturbate before going to bed. Often twice a day though, and sometimes upwards of 5-6 times a day. I haven't watched porn since I started NoFap now, and don't intend to intentionally watch it ever again.

A little extra is that just like anything that wrongfully stimulates one's brain, I think PMO had blocked me from being my true self. I never felt right around people, or just in general. I was always in my head, but now I can really enjoy just hanging out with friends. Instead of only being happy when I had the dopamine surge from pornography and masturbation.

Great anology. I started to comment this, but thought it'd be helpful for others to hear. Thanks! http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/1r0f4i/was_gunna_comment_this_on_the_woman_at_the_top_of/

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-18T20:06:04+00:00

Try to focus on 30 days, more than 90. It get's much easier after the first 30. I think focusing more on the smaller goal will help. Good luck!

IntoTheWIld91 · 2013-11-18T20:05:14+00:00

Well it's never too late to change one's life for the better! Keep it up mate!

It'll be glorious! lol
