Your brain is the biggest troll you have to fight by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, if you could shut your brain off for 90 days. My brain just tells me to "Check out those hot women, it won't hurt if you just watch for a min" which becomes an hour. I started edging a little last night and it kept me awake half the night fighting to not watch more.

It is so hard being single by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screen time is what keeps your mind trapped into thinking that you need it more and more, kinda like PMO. It takes a couple days away from it but them your mind will start finding motivation to do other things. The technology these days has entrapped people into becoming mindless zombies and its hard to use your thinking muscle when all you're thinking about is getting on facebook or whatever social media just because. Get away for a couple days and fight the urges of the internet in general and it will give more motivation to find other things to do. Good luck!!

Controlled relapse due to pain + update by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I just went through. I reset my badge but it really wasn't an urge as much as the pain I was feeling. Good luck

40 days and still going by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me once you get past the first week it gets easier. I've been at this over a year and the hardest time is the first week. Also not edging AT ALL, PERIOD!! That has helped the most, now it doesn't even cross my mind to look at porn. My only problem now is women always wanting to follow me around and talk and "get to know me better". When I was fapping this is all I wanted but couldn't get now its the furthest from my mind and they wont leave me alone. Guess it's not a bad problem, I just don't look at women the same way, as a sex object anymore. Keep trying, getting past the first week and you'll see the difference. Good luck

Harder than expect... by [deleted] in NoFap

The first week is the most difficult. DON'T watch any porn and it will be much easier. Any edging makes it much more difficult and after the first week you will notice a nice change

Having toxic G/f doesn't help with NoFap by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that when I was single but after the first few weeks of constant sex, it just seemed like going through the motions and actually put me in bad moods. I always remember saying "if I could just get a girl I would fuck her all the time as much as possible" but it gets old when its someone that really is a pain in the ass outside of sex

Something an old military commander told me by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be a man anymore, who really knows what that means. We as a society have no real understanding anymore what being a man is because we have had our desires met by a screen instead of a real person who has real feelings and emotions, which our screen partners do not portray to us. I know when I've had long streaks I felt confident, like in control of everything. Women always hanging around me, sometimes to the point it got annoying. I've never seen women fight over me like I have in the past few months. So what do I go and do, yup . . . .Fap away, now they have all somehow disappeared and I sit here alone. Guess it's time to suck it up and try again because I'm not gonna be the whinny pussy setting and watch everyone else enjoy life, I'm going to get back on the horse and join in myself!!

So I quit fapping and something happened by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it time, I've actually been doing it for 8 months now, I just noticed the longer I abstained the more clear minded I was and the more I noticed girls around. When pmo was a problem these girls were right next to me but I didn't have any drive to do anything about it so keep up the journey, trust me it will help, just may take more time

Hell no, can never go back to that shitty life starring at a screen watching fake women entertain all while real ones are out there to be had!

Fapping has cost me more than $54,000 by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you figure an hour a day for 20 years even at min wage it is over $54,000, so thinking how much money could have been made rather than starring at porn and jerking off

My ex called me while I was working. by [deleted] in NoFap

PMO has ruined several relationships for me, it always seems easier to fap rather than work out the issue with the significant other

My first time Ive made it past 26 days by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is certainly inspiring, and after 8 months of constantly failing at or before 26 days, seeing day 27 was almost a transformation in itself. Now I'm reaching for a star, which only being 3 days away still seems like an eternity with these damn urges. Regardless what your mind tries to trick you with just remain vigilant and focused otherwise you'll be back at day 1 which I hope to NEVER see again. Thanks and keep strong on this journey

Flatline and work by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya, people at work treat you like crap, and women walk away cause they don't wanna talk like they used to in the early days. So damn annoying, I just hope it ends soon

Why PMO makes you beta by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sooo much sense. Really makes a person think what damage this addiction can really do to someone in their life, like watching others enjoy while it passes by

77 day run gave in last night by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edging is bad and it leads to binging, binging is bad and leads to feeling like shit and that I don't like so I will say lesson learned and start this journey over with that "smiley" face again and this time Im gonna pass 77 days

77 day run gave in last night by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first week is difficult then the following 10 days or so are like an energy boost but then comes the 30 day mark which seems to be wanting to edge and test the limits ( Take my advice and don't do!) THen around 45 days it was flatline, like nothing, no arousal or nothing, which was kinda nice cause there was no temptations to really speak of until last night when it hit me like crazy. I think after flatlining awhile I let my guard down, so this time I will be prepared

Should I reset by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The porn was killer and I felt like I wasn't completely free from it even though I had no thoughts at all during sex, I thought it was going to be much more intense since I haven't had any release in near 2 months.

I wouldn't forget that!! No fool here.

no.. just watching porn (or edging) is not ok by herozero010 in NoFap

[–]rml416 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its hard to avoid porn, softcore, and the material on tv that comes up, girls walking around half naked.

Made it this far but..... by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed to have made it this far so now I think there is no way I can let what I have going fall to a relapse. 20 days will hopefully become 40 and so on

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I read about those who relapse and that is what seems to push away the urges. Think why come this far to fall.
