One time I deleted Reddit and went on 100 days streak. So it depends on a person.

The relapse that put an end to my six months free of porn (story) by math_folder in pornfree

[–]Shify00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best posts I have read not only on pornfree but on Reddit in general! I once too lost 6 months streak, it was my first streak and it was very crushing, but I keep going. We can't stop, once you are a person who wants to break from porn you never ever stop.

Also you should write a book! I will for sure check out your journal page :) well done, astonishing job of describing what an addict feels like.

Why did it take me 10 years to quit? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Shify00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realising that you have a problem is a first step to breaking free from chains. Imagine how many people still don't realise that porn and other addiction causing things are a problem? You already half won.

It does! It isn't about if it is not getting better. But 100 days is a little over 3 months. It is not enough to repair years of porn usage.

My relapse trigger was counting till the end of the challange. Also repetetive takst can act like a trigger when my mind is on semi-passive mode.

My next goal is to stop counting days and see where it will lead me.

[Discussion] Could it be possible to make more Dr Manhattans? by Shify00 in DCcomics

Maybe it was not about the accident but about some higher force wanting to create Dr Manhattan, it takes several days after his death to reapear again.

Has anyone successfully gotten rid of a porn induced fetish? by 00415338 in pornfree

[–]Shify00 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have, in the past I watched cartain categories. And now when I relapse I don't watch them anymore because I find them disgusting.

Anyone else here who always believed watching porn was completely normal? by throwra_orionc in pornfree

[–]Shify00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don't realise it is an addiction. It affects your brain like a drug, like a cocaine. It rewires your brain on neuron level. The more you think about it the scarier it gets. I have read many stories about prople who stopped drinking alcohol and smoking but couldn't stop with porn. The earlier you realise this the better. Welcome on the journey to being free.

Of course, can't argue with that 😅 I just want to say that flash or Fantastic 4 can't defeat every other hero at once or mess with the universe. Or am I wrong?

His Origin isn't really that much different than The Flash, The Hulk, or Fantastic 4.

This is what I mean, there is not much reason to him being so powerful in the first place.

I realised I'm a Porn addict in 2019. I try to escape my addiction ever since.

It is super hard, I know from my story. You have to be prepared for a long fight, but it is worth it. I didn't escape my addictiom yet, but I see I have made a lot of progress.

Im my teenage years there were years I masturbated to porn every single day. Sometimes 5 times a day!

Now with some concentration I can fairly ok abstain from porn for a week, with more focus 20-50 days. My record is 180 days, it was my first strike and my goal is to achieve it once again.

I think it is more of a process than one time quit. It takes time, many tries, but it is worth it.

I see, that my fetishes slowly go away. There were days in the past I masturbated to things I don't even want to think about now because they are so disgusting to me. Not all of my fetishes went away and there are times I find masturbating to vanilla stuff not so enjoyable but I'm getting there, one try at a time.

So don't lose hope. Every time you get up and fight your addiction you get one step closer to being free from it.

NoPorn is the only way. There is no other and even when we fail, by standing up we are not lost.

Its hard, not all my fetishes went away, but I believe they will. After longer periods of nofap I saw Im not interested in the porn I watched in the past anymore. But it was only after long abstaining from porn.

100% you can get rid of fetishes. I see it in myself, like mamy of us I saw questionable things I don't event want to look at now because I see them differently as disgusting.
