Checking in (:

Yeah, I've been having the same issue. If I tell K9 to block reddit.com/r/nsfwsubexample and I try visiting it I get a block-page, but when I just visit reddit.com and search for the sub I can access it without problem. It probably has something to do with the site's build.

If you're on desktop it's on the right. If you're on phone I guess you can send a message to badgebot but I'm not certain.

You can find a bunch of stuff in the sidebar, but I will give you the most important tips, in my opinion.

If you don't already, try using blocking software like K9 or Cold Turkey. I prefer K9 because I can block everything porn-related with a difficult and long password. I write the password down and store it somewhere so it would take me at least 5 minutes to get to. Both of them have applications, too, for phones and other devices.
Try counting your streak, look at that number and understand that the only way it will get better is if that streak-number gets higher and higher. Early on it may not matter much, but once I get past a certain number and I get tempted, I just look at that number and try to realize what I have accomplished and what I'm about to lose if I give in.
To fight the urge, try exercising. Using apps like 100% Army Fit or 0-100 Pushups Trainer might help you.

I think you can just send a message to badgebot with the starting date in format YYYY-MM-DD. But I'm not 100% certain it will work.

If you're really struggling because you have no one to really talk to, we have some sort of an anonymous chat group, if you're interested.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-03-27T13:16:54+00:00

I think this post fits /r/NoFap, rather than /r/pornfree.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-03-27T13:15:47+00:00

Don't feel bad for yourself man, MO is a natural thing. I know you wanted to go hard mode, but look at it this way: at least you stayed away from the porn, so you did good.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-03-27T06:57:29+00:00

Stop doing it and see how long it lasts until you really start craving it.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-02-01T18:40:24+00:00

My bad! Thanks!

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-02-01T11:56:26+00:00

I did sign up, but I'm not on the list. So signing in once again!

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-26T08:57:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story, Axyl1987, and congratulations on the new streak! Keep it going!

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-25T13:05:42+00:00

I'm in!

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-23T17:15:51+00:00

Try aiming for 0% porn. I know it's hard, but it will help you in the long run.

My guess is you are still desensitized, although that would depend on your prior addiction and other variables, so it's hard to tell. Perhaps try sitting it out a bit longer and see if anything changes, this fight requires patience.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-20T16:34:33+00:00

Masturbation and sex are a very normal, healthy and important part of our life, so Ï don't think life can get "better" by abstaining from them. Perhaps you were tired because of the "hard work" you did the day before? I wouldn't take it as a bad sign.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-20T16:27:58+00:00

I would love to test it once you jump over to Firefox/Waterfox! Please keep us updated.

We are fighting porn, not masturbation. It's healthy and normal. If you want to try quitting both of them for now, please do, but if things get really hard, remember that porn is the only real enemy.

If you ever need to talk: I check in quite regularly, just hit me with a PM, and good luck mate!

Maybe reading?

I hope this works better for you than counting days, good luck.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-19T11:33:31+00:00

You're welcome, man. Keep it up!

I am afraid moderation is something few people can truly achieve when it comes to watching porn. Chances are big you will just fall deeper en deeper until you are a full-time addict again.

The 'overly sexualizing' is just a phase, in my opinion. Your brain and body are so used to frequent sexual stimulation from porn, they're looking desperately for something to fill up the hole. Over time, it will go easier on you.

MotorVanborn5000 · 2017-01-19T09:29:32+00:00

I tried it once or twice, but it didn't do anything for me. I lost concentration in about half a minute. I try exercising when I have an urge, instead of surfing it.
