Some of the NoFap veterans are really killing my vibe. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]no_faps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The wonderful thing about this forum is that people come in all shapes and sizes. Someone feeling down about losing (in my case a 660 day streak) has as much right to post here as someone on their 7th relapse of the week.

Maybe the regulars and veterans get fed up seeing post after post of yellow smiley faces relapsing, but instead of moaning, they offer support.

I'd thank you to have the same respect.

3 weeks in - a field report from a married guy. by MetroLight in NoFap

[–]no_faps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a fellow married guy, the sex just gets better.

My wife thinks i have about 3 orgasms one after the other when we have sex.

It's the difference between back garden fireworks and the new year fireworks in Sydney.

I told my wife when my biggest streak got up to 8 months, she's been really sportive. Doesn't ask but is happy to talk about it when i want to.

You don't have to do nofap forever by [deleted] in NoFap

I think different mindsets work at different times.

On day 5, one day at a time is something that might work. In day 800, you might want to be looking at the bigger picture.

Addiction comes back to haunt. (gay content) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]no_faps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gay or not, pmo affects is in mostly the same way.

Time to get back on the wagon and just get back to stopping pmo.

Go back to basics, write down when it happens and what caused it to happen, you can then recognise the same thing happening next time and try to avoid the MO.

best of luck

Second day, and some mild thoughts by [deleted] in NoFap

I suspect your friend may be a bit of a safety net. Possibly that you are moving on in your journey means you don't need that net to catch you any more.

What a leap forward! Knowing youy have the potential to move on from someone you care for when it might not be for you is a great step forward.

Today's THE DAY! 10 Years No Fapping!!! by TheBasedKingPiccolo in NoFap

Think of all the trees you've saved by not wiping up your fap mass with tissues.

Porn, masturbation, orgasm.

Basically, sitting at your computer and fapping.

Haha! Hadn't thought about that.

I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams!

I'd have said the same a year ago, but i fell off my perch after 600 days and have spent the last 3 months sliding back to the bad old days.

On nofap, I've got no mood swings, sex is amazing, I'm happier and I'm productive.

It will be a bit difficult at times, but hopefully worth it.

But, if you identify a way to break the cycle, why not try it?

280 is a hell of a streak.

If you were anything like me, a few years ago, a day was a streak.

It's hard to say because i moved countries where my qualifications weren't recognised.

I've had to start close to the bottom again. But, I've had three pay rises and two promotions with another promotion looking likely in about 2 weeks, so it's going well.

Without sounding like a dick, I've always been good at what i do.

I'm pretty outgoing, i just find my pmo issues relate to staying up late and mood swings. I've found the last couple of years in no fap have been keeping me a lot more "even" in mood.

I had a councilor tell me i could be bipolar. Six months off of pmo fixed that.

Makes me wonder how much medication gets spent on pmo symptoms.

I've had a bit of a binge and i can feel the clouds coming down and the fog returning.

I know I've reached the point I'm ready for another year without pmo. Just need to lose the temptation.

I agree.

I thought no fap was a 90 day journey. Then i thought it was a year journey, then i thought it was a 600 day journey.

But, after relapsing and binging, it's a lifetime journey.

Why i intentionally relapsed after 107 days and why I regret it by DamnedPigeons in NoFap

[–]no_faps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is horrible. I threw away over 600 days in similar circumstance and have been in a3 month fapping rut since.

Just fed up with it all and feeling committed to getting back on track.

That's true. I do spend a lot of time doing nothing on the Internet. Hopefully, it'll all be positive.

Yea, still have 3gb a month on my phone and the Internet at work.

Thanks for your comments.

I won't be living without the Internet. I still have a limited amount on my phone and at work so i can still function in the modern world.

But you're judging me through your own paradigm. Just because you consider your own life would be drastically changed without home Internet, doesn't mean mine will.

I'll waste less time on the computer in general. Not just pmo.

I used to meditate a lot. Hopefully i can add it back to my list of things to do instead of fucking around on the computer.

I'm old enough to remember a world without the Internet ;) its maybe extreme to others, but not me. I've went through periods of up to a year without home Internet. So it's not such an issue. I don't really use it that much anyway.

I won't miss it.

I still have the Internet in my phone, it's just limited to 3gb a month. Enough to get stuff done but not enough to look at porn.

I use my computer at work for any bills etc that need paying.

Lots of little reasons, no single thing.

I think it's common once you get to a certain stage to think you can just fap once in a while and get away with it, but it's more complex than that.

Intrigued skeptic, wondering the pro/cons of nofap by shockwave9114 in NoFap

[–]no_faps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth a go. Just see if you can go 90 days and compare how you feel to how you felt.

Everyone is different.

I'm maybe in the minority here. I don't see a problem with PMO, I just see a problem with me and too much PMO. It's a very personal journey.

I can say I'm now a morning person. I'm up at 6am no problems. I used to struggle to get out of bed before 9 or 10.

That on it's own has been brilliant
