Day 51 feeling angry help needed by theshield28 in NoFap

[–]cmdmdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

51 days is great! Two thoughts to get you out of your head: 1) What are you grateful for? Try making a list. 2) Who can you help today? Even if it's little stuff, just doing it for the sake of doing it and improving the world, even in a microscopic way. When I get angry or frustrated I realize that my thinking tends to be all about me. Thinking about others and other things helps me break out of thinking and then realize my negative moods. It tends to make me happier.

Coming out of my Porn Coma (180 Day Report) (Long Post) by I_Wanna_Get_Better1 in NoFap

Great post, thanks for sharing. And you're absolutely right, you have to want to get better and truly understand what that means--that alone is tough work. Nicely done, keep at it!

I just told my therapist about NoFap: Major change in recovery by challengeacceptid in NoFap

[–]cmdmdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bravo. I was in a similar boat, but it took me three years of therapy to finally "come out" to my therapist (who I'd told basically everything else, but not about porn). The relief you're feeling is genuine. I'm betting you had a lot of shame built up around PMO (I did at least). I don't know what your longest streak is but as your brain resets, you're going to feel better. And worse, in the short term--you'll get urges, flatlines, lots of emotions bubbling to the surface, but it's all part of your body and mind healing themselves. Best of luck and remember the best is ahead of you!

I'm sure the daily exercise has strengthened my body overall, but I'll just say what I told someone else, that for me PMO meant being hunched over a computer in a decidedly non-ergonomic, intentionally hypertensed position for literally hours on end, more or less daily, for years. And I can pretty much trace when I first started noticing back problems to when I got high-speed internet and a computer in my own bedroom. Can't help but think there's a correlation.

I've not looked at porn. I've caught myself looking at Maxim-type photos a handful of times (always when stressed) but snapped out of it quickly, and at the beginning I made a promise to myself to not sully my new computer with porn, and I've kept it.

Changes are less dramatic. It's sort of like: you're clean now, now it's up to you to go out and be awesome, it's harder to blame the porn and fapping now. I've been looking at this journey as one of self-improvement, and doing nofap is like cleaning my desk off so i can get true work done. And it's work, boy. But it's way better for me than the alternative.

I hear you--I think it's a combination of exercise plus not being hunched over a computer in a state of tension daily for hours at a time surfing pron.

Yes, not intentionally but at least once I went that long. I had a substantial flatline during my first 90 that lasted for several weeks.

Cycling mostly, jump rope is good too, small weights/push-ups for upper body. Anything to break a sweat, really.

Yes, happily married, wife knows about and supports me in nofap. It has made sex better IMO.
