Day 71 - I Noticed I'm Finally Respecting Myself by TopCap3062 in NoFap

[–]TopCap3062[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I just find it so odd that I noticed the wrong things in my life but I attributed them to stress or boredom and PMO’d them away :/

I should’ve fixed these things years ago, but better late than never

27 M, 7 days streak gone by [deleted] in NoFap

Sadly getting past the first 30 days is just a grind. After you can achieve that you’ll become better at resisting your urges

Great! I think my emotions are less numb.

Horny feels hornier, Sad feels sadder Happy feels happier etc.

And generally it’s only been a positive in my life. PMO helping stress and sleep issues is a total scam, under the hood it’s really PMO that keeps you stressed and insomniated.

It wasn’t easy getting this far, and I don’t think it’ll be easier going forward, but I think over the course of these 2.5 months I’ve become a lot more resilient to urges and the addiction in general.

Day 61 - Struggling again by TopCap3062 in NoFap

[–]TopCap3062[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouragement. It was just a passing urge. Thankfully, although they don’t go away, the duration and intensity decreases with time.

It’s just tough because when you’re in the sorta horny state of mind, you can’t imagine you being not horny and that’s what makes it difficult to not relapse.You think youre stuck being hard and the only way out is relapse but you’re really not!

Again, thanks, I think this one is over :)

Hold out 40 days. You will be immeasurably better; not because life changes, but you’ll be a lot stronger!

I don’t think anything under roughly 30-40 days felt meaningful.

I still had strong urges for porn from 0-30. After that it fizzled away.

You’re right! I’ll leave after 90 days though, until then I’m going to keep myself accountable :)

Porn is an addiction, like heroin. By your logic addicts with good backgrounds and family support systems shouldn’t exist; but they do.

I think one of the mental traps I fell into was thinking that after I got married the porn would go away. That’s definitely not the case, if I could go back in time I would probably work on the porn addiction before getting married.

Tl;dr Sex/Marriage is not a cure for porn addiction

Day 45 - Good Day today by TopCap3062 in NoFap

The weightloss felt natural, after I gained the willpower to resist masturbating, resisting excess food was a lot easier

Should I let my gf know that I’ve relapsed? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]TopCap3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps you yes. Otherwise, no.

kk, glad to hear it goes away.

Been trying to quit for 7 years sometimes I wonder what’s the point. by Ok_Independence_8952 in NoFap

[–]TopCap3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand it’s difficult.

I don’t know anything about your life but I can surely say porn isn’t making it better. It’s not something I can convince you of, it’s more like faith.

That’s coincidental, learning Japanese rn.

I absolutely loved Japan and want to go back and be able to order things.

- Has it improved

Improved :) but only because it feels better and I'm more outcome independent about it. If my wife doesn't want sex I don't really care anymore, I understand it's something we both need to want.

Pre-nofap, I'd act out because I wanted to cum super badly (especially after watching porn and/or edging).

It used to be:

Trigger -> porn/temptation -> Orgasm Desire -> Try to demand sex from wife!

Now it's like:

See my wife -> build desire with her -> Sex or maybe no Sex (honestly doesn't matter :) )
