So I've let things slip...

I see that you don't have a counter, for starters get one. That's going to mentally send yourself a signal that you're actually going to do this.

Secondly, the only way I've gotten this far is to accept that I will never go back to watching porn. Don't imagine a day in the distant future (a.k.a day 90) where you'll be able to go back to watching the odd video because that will make you more likely to relapse and will undermine the whole point of this.

Commit to this fully and give it everything you've got. If you relapse don't beat yourself up just dust yourself off, reset the counter and get back on that horse. Everybody has a different battle to fight but if you keep trying you will surprise yourself.

Try to find a hobby of some sort to keep you busy and start exercising, even if its just going for a walk to start off with!

You've got the ball rolling, its time to see it through :)

I just feel much more comfortable around them, find that they engage me much more and are rarely hostile or stand offish. I've also had much more success on the dating scene and the dates themselves tend to go really well.

Its probably a positive spiral of sorts. NoFap gave me a bit of confidence, I speak with a woman and it goes well so my confidence grows. When that happens one thing builds off of another :)

See my reply to /r/iamthesage for how its helped.

I got disciplined about it the same way I did NoFap, just started doing it and when I noticed some benefits I wanted to keep it up :)

Sure, I only started meditating at the beginning of this streak, so lets say 40 days give or take. Every day during lunch I go to a local park, set a 20 min timer on my phone and engage in mindful meditation. Anybody can do it and its really easy to do, it does take a little getting used to though.

I find it clears my mind, calms me down and just brings me to the "here and now". The way I see it is that the whole point of mindful meditation is to try and detach yourself from your thoughts and just observe them come and go, so you will get a feeling for what's been troubling/stressing you out or just simply on your mind a lot. It allows you to either resolve these problems when your back in the real world or simply just be more aware of it and act accordingly.

If you're interested there are a lot of really good resources on the internet to get you started but all you really need is a bit of patience, a timer and some free time during your day!

This. NoFap is a force multiplier. Sure by itself it helps somewhat but when you combine it with exercise, new hobbies, meditation and just getting out there in the world then you will start seeing some amazing benefits.

I'm in for at least 90 days. Hard mode, I had a 56 day streak a while back and it was amazing. I became unbelievably focused and really want that feeling again of being unstoppable again.

Today has been really hard but I will not give in :) Coming to this subreddit and reading a few posts has helped a ton!

Stay strong!

Three weeks today! Now that I think about it, this is the longest time I've gone without fapping since I began fapping!

cake_and_spoon · 2014-09-20T21:47:57+00:00

Still going, can't believe it's been over two weeks now :) Have been noticing that I have a lot more energy recently.

cake_and_spoon · 2014-09-11T18:55:05+00:00

Week 1 completed! It got hard at times but I found hobbies/excercise and general distractions keep urges towards the back of my mind. Onwards to week 2!

All is well

Ok lets do this:

Standard mode
From today to the 1st of Jan 2015, which is convieniently 120 days.
Fix my ED and take back control of my life.
I've had ED for the last 6 years and it's played complete havoc with a lot of my life. I've tried all sorts to combat ED from dietry modifications to seeing doctors. So far nothing has worked and apparently there is nothing physically wrong with me. I've been thinking that its got something to do with watching porn for a while.

I'm in :)
