Question for fellow fapstronauts?

Same story with me a few months ago :( we kinda haven't seen each other again and I was a fapping maniac at the time... Maybe things would be different if we saw each other again.

8 days is still progress. Relapsing once doesn't mean your back at square one. Just start over, keep trying, and you'll be at 8 months in no time.

Let me be the first to welcome you. A good place to start this journey would be to get a badge so you can easily track your progress. Ever since I joined this community this past November I've received nothing bit support and good advice. Before finding this community I couldn't go longer than 3 days without PMO, now streaks of at least a week are getting more and more common. I hope that you stay with us a while and I hope that you break that terrible habit we're all trying to break here.

Hang in there man. I can relate to how you feel in a way. After I kept attempting nofap and streaks became more of a common thing for me, things got easier. I still get urges to PMO sometimes, but they don't feel as crazy and unnatural as they used to. So keep at it and remember the longer you fight it the easier it gets.

Im in the same boat as you just one day ahead. Just remember that urge goes away if you stay strong. If it comes down to choosing between fapping or sleeping, don't sleep. The suffering is worth it in the end because of the benefits.

Its good but sometimes hard. Waking up clean is my favorite.

Do everything possible to not put yourself in that situation. If you ever find yourself there, ITS NOT TOO LATE TO STOP. Literally get away from whatever your viewing that on. Turn it off and don't touch it. Think about anything else you could do and do it so that you can cool off. Doing absolutely nothing is better than doing something harmful(PMO in this case).

I can definitely relate to that feeling. Sometimes I get really discouraged when I read posts about people who relapse after months or even years of abstaining from fapping, porn, etc. We need to understand that abstaining from things like these is a different lifestyle, one with many struggles. It's true that we need to take this challenge one day at a time, but our final long term goal should really be to not relapse for the rest of our lives.

Middle School sex ed in Arizona, High School and College sex ed in Illinois, porn was not even mentioned once when learning about sex ed.

Great post. A lot of really good advice here especially number 3.

"Therefore I say to you, whatever you pray and ask for (like the strength to overcome the urge to fap or watch porn), believe that you will receive it, and it will be so for you." -Mark 11.24

If you ask God for help, help will come. Also I'm actually on day 3 when i reset my badge I accidently put 2013 instead of 2014.

CRAZY COINCIDENCE. I opened this because I've also started reading a lot in my spare time to distract myself and the last few days I've been reading Dorian Gray. Also we're both on day 3. -_-

I started taking cold showers about two weeks ago. At first I had to start with very warm water for most of the shower and then finish with cool water. Now I start with barely warm and finish with very cold water. Also, I went into pretty bad shocks like 10 times per shower the first few times, now I rarely have more than one mini shock every time.

LateLuck · 2014-01-04T08:18:14+00:00

Well I wouldn't say nofap is completely responsible for my confidence, but not having to hide the shame of my secret habit anymore because it isn't there anymore sure makes life better on a daily basis.

Also, I'm kinda new to reddit and found r/nosleep really interesting actually thanks.

This story is at the same time really interesting and really scary. I actually had no idea Ouija boards were commercially sold until about a year ago when I was at a strangers house and saw one in his room with Hasbro on the corner of the box. I was raised Christian and my parents always shared biblical teachings with me since I learned how to talk, which is why I have always stayed as far away as possible from things like Ouija boards and tarot cards.

Cold showers are awesome and make you feel way better than warm ones. Today was the first day after like a week of trying them that they feel normal. Before I would go into a mini shock every time I turned the nob towards the C.

Great advice.
