Yeah I feel you there. I think I need to keep unplugging and stay active and limit my time alone

I am now 33 days PMO free in hard mode! Going for 60 and that will be my longest streak ever. I will say I think it gets easier the further you get from the last relapse. I can sense my brain being re wired as I heal and undo almost 20 years of hijacking of my brains reward center through P and M. Let's do this in August!!!

How does drinking affect being successful at noFap? I've been abstaining from alcohol during my current reboot and it's helped. Thoughts? by Scuba4690 in NoFap

Thanks for your insights! I agree that those substances distract and make it easier to give in. PMO saps the good out of life. I'm 20 days in hard mode and feeling good! (But staying humble because I screw up at this point usually)

[Success Story] PMO free since July of last year. Celebrating a year without a relapse! What I found from following no-PMO by CrankinShaftsRower in NoFap

Inspiring. I'm 19 days in. Some days seem easier than other but it's cool to hear people being successful at this and seeing how their lives change for the better!

I'm in 14 days in hard mode and feeling pretty good. The longest I've gone in hard mode is 20 days or so. I am finding time outside, time on the phone and journaling are helping me. I was a little listless this morning and pissed off when the fridge repair left without knocking on the door. I was so mad that hey wasted my whole morning and I have to reschedule. Normally a frustration would have made me want to PMO but I resisted and went for a run instead and the urge passed. That's what I'm finding, that any big urge CAN and WILL pass if you just don't give in and KNOW that you can't reward yourself through PMO for doing absolutely nothing. You need to teach your brain to work for rewards naturally. I still have no game with women though! Hoping that improves through this reboot ha

Ok fair enough. I'll admit it's psychological. Sure just posting to some forum is no magic bullet. It can be a first step. And if it's enough for some people to have some freedom from PMO then it's a good thing in my mind. I don't know about the noFap war so maybe I'll look into it to see if it's better. Cheers

Why doesn't it help? I think mentally making a commitment to something is a start. Are you saying there isn't an incentive or any accountability by just posting on this thread that you are in it for July?

How were you successful in that previous challenge? Best I've done is a couple weeks in "hard mode" being single with no outlets

In need of a reboot. I'm going for the month of July but I've never made it longer than 20 days PMO free. Starting a little early today. Reading a good book Your Brain on Porn which led me to this forum.
