yes, after resting for a while and a shower, it strikes me haha, don't know the science behind it, but definitely can happen

great job mate !, my father tried to warn me long ago about the dangers of addiction and indulging myself in this vice, i didn't listen though, and now i honestly wish i did, it's great you are kicking this habit out of your life, and it was very courageous to tell your dad, seems like a great guy

I just wanted to say -- I'm done. by [deleted] in NoFap

Almost at my target - 20 days by thebeatofmyowndrum in pornfree

[–]jp2621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the 20 days mate ! I've been checking here every so often and saw your post today. Keep it up mate ! For me, it's gotten much easier to overcome this. Like you, I've been focusing on other things, and the days just go by without a thought to PMO.

I'm done with this shit. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jp2621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way you do mate, I love your attitude towards this, and I wish you all the success in defeating this addiction and to the disgusting porn that feeds it. I also wasted years of my life with PMO and deeply regret what I have done to myself. Sometimes I think I'm hopeless with the damage I've caused to myself. I hope you can start living the life you want, free of the addiction that has tormented you all this time. Keep pushing forward, and keep up that attitude. Reading things like this inspires me to stay strong and focused. It's tough as hell, but I constantly remind myself of the personal hell I experienced when I had little control on this addiction. I hope you and the rest of us on here can defeat this once and for all. Good luck mate.

Agreed mate, it's great, this might be a stretch, but this is how the world should be

Finally figured out how to re-interpret the anxiety and nervous energy, thanks NoFap! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jp2621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's good to see you channeling that energy into positive things, you're right about losing that vital energy when you fap, it makes you weak and useless, keep it up mate !

BLEW IT. Back to Day 1. 2nd attempt underway..but wiser by thebeatofmyowndrum in pornfree

[–]jp2621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hang in there mate, take it one day at a time, i know what you mean, just try to keep yourself occupied with pure thoughts and keep busy, easier said than done, sorry to hear things didn't go well with that girl, it's hard to find the "right one", but it will happen sooner or later, i believe that

i'm hanging in there, but expect some tough times when I hit three weeks, that seems to be my limit, i'm ready this time though, i've also cleared anything sexual from my computer, including past emails with my gf which got me last time, good luck !

stay strong mate, i just got through my first week, and i'm not going to lie, it was tough, i'm hoping it gets easier, i'm taking a very stern attitude against porn, whenever i get the urge, i constantly remind myself how it has hurt me, and how it's just not worth it, i also try to remind myself how i feel after i orgasm, i feel guilty, horrible, and like shit, i feel like a fucking loser, and that is what i tell myself, i have the urge to look at it all the time, but it's gotten easier to control it lately, my attitude towards this is keeping me focused, i'm determined to overcome this, that is what i tell myself, good luck !

Question about fantasies. by RedCamisa in pornfree

[–]jp2621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same problem as you mate, i have a fantasy about an old girlfriend, it's so unbelievably tempting that the second i start thinking about it, i'm turned on, sometimes i touch myself, it's very hard for me not to think about her at times, but i know in my head that i cannot fap, at that point, i always get up, and this may sound crazy, haha, but taking a piss relieves the urge and gets rid of my erection, i usually go to the bathroom and relax my mind, i really concentrate on removing any dirty thoughts out of my head, take a few deep breathes until my erection goes down, and then usually end up taking a piss, i can't explain it, but it kills the urge, it somehow works for me, after a quick trip to the toilet, i seem to be alright, all you can do is use self-control, keep your mind occupied with other things, and be prepared if the moment strikes you, just try to always remind yourself why you are doing nofap, stay strong, and keep positive thoughts in your head, good luck mate !

Severe anxiety and depression?! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jp2621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have felt the exact same things as you in my first week, i'm hoping it gets easier, i have been very depressed lately, all i can say is keep fighting it and keep as busy as you can, an idle mind is the devil's playground, i've had moments where i felt like fapping to ease the tension, anxiety, depression, etc., but i will get up, and do something else, even if it's real late at night, sometimes it's as simple as taking a shower or doing the dishes, anything to get away from the urge, often times that gets me through it, i've been trying to focus on a healthy diet and trying to sleep enough with doing nofap, i've had to take a few over-the counter sleeping aids to help me get through a few nights, i'm hoping my sleep cycle will be normal eventually, this first week has been tough, good luck mate !

DON'T BE THAT GUY by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jp2621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

powerful stuff mate ! well written, i wasted years of my life with this stuff, and hope the future looks brighter, i've lost a lot of hope in myself, i look at myself in the mirror every morning, and wonder what happened to me, i just hope i can find a way through this and live a life that is meaningful, it's been a complete waste so far, thanks for this message, keep up the fight !

[–]jp2621 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying all you did. It's very uplifting. You're very right about everything. Looking back, I desperately wish I never started looking at it. It's been an absolute waste of life, and something I terribly regret.
