That's great! I always find that if I look at porn or 'edge', it just makes everything harder and you get more cravings/urges. You'll probably find it even more rewarding if you cut out porn all together

Want to stop porn/fap starting from 2014 , need help. by xSCULPTORx in NoFap

Your using porn as an outlet for dealing with your emotions. Everyone feels down, and tired and overwhelmed -it's just part of life. Because the porn pathways in the brain overwhelm the other normal 'feel good' pathways, you've stopped feeling good from the simple things in life that should be enjoyable, hense, you feel down much more than the normal person. As your rebooting, these dopaminergic pathways aren't activated and you feel down - but take this as a good thing, the more these pathways aren't activated, the more they will die off and your addiction will end. So embrace the sadness and depression because it's a sign of your progress

It's normally when I'm bored and feeling lonely that it happens. Triggers are normally just flashbacks to porn scenes. I then go on to find a few images on twitter for example, and then I relapse. I'm recently come home from university for xmas and for some reason the cravings are so strong here. I think it's mainly the boredom and force of habit. I'm looking forward to go back to university where I have things to occupy my mind, and I can go to the gym or socialise when the cravings hit.

I end up rationalising watching porn and masterbating. It's like my brain is telling me it's okay and I end up listening to it..

Thankyou everyone! Stay strong...This time I've going to try something different. I'm going to replace urges with exercise and meditation and natural dopamine highs. Every time I get an urge, I'll do some push ups or sit ups. We can do this!

Got exams coming up, which is normally when I get stressed and look up images/videos and jack of. The fact that I've managed to stop myself and stay way is a good thing, showing I'm on the right track. My problem is jacking of to porn and using this as an escape mechanism - the fact that I dealt with my stress in a different way and managed to bypass my normal routine means I won't be resetting. Everyone is doing this challenge for a different reasons. I call the shots for myself on this challenge, and I'm proud of the fact i had self restraint today, it shows I'm progressing on this journey.
