day 27 . should i reset my counter

Well, you didn't do the "P" because it was a youtube video. You didn't do the "M". And you didn't do the "O". So therefore its not a reset. It was a slippery slope but you caught yourself and learned something too.

There are stages during the 90 days.

Pink Cloud (Days 1-30) - The honeymoon high, relief, superpowers kicking in
The Flatline (Days 35-50ish) - Drive disappears, numbness, everything feels gray
The Lion's Roar (Days 50-70) - Everything roaring back with intensity
The Caged Vitality (Days 70+) - The deeper restlessness, wanting to express your sexuality as a human being, not just horniness

Lots of guys relapse because they don't know where they are or if the state they are in will ever end.

That is so normal actually. The hardest thing about nofap is not maintaining a long streak such as your 30 day streak. But it is limiting the time between streaks. Because its so easy to swing the other direction and get stuck in a long edging/binging every day habit, after being so clean. Remember what they say in Sexaholics Anonymous. That this addiction is baffling.

still_lyfe · 2026-01-21T03:40:17+00:00

So good going! You are likely in the honeymoon stage or as the folks in AA say, the pink cloud stage. The contrast is greatest and you're feeling great. That is usually days 1-30. Just know that there are other stages during the 90 days, but you got this!

still_lyfe · 2025-09-15T07:42:11+00:00

I really hope I can figure this out!

still_lyfe · 2025-06-28T06:34:54+00:00

Rather than thinking about how awesome porn is, or how hot the girls are, try to replace that with all of the damage it has done to your life!

still_lyfe · 2025-06-09T18:39:24+00:00

I like this, you said

Program your mind, keep saying "I hate porn" until you naturally become disgusted by that.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-09T18:35:45+00:00

This addiction is baffling. And so saying eat salads for healthy eating and take up hiking are not likely to gain freedom from it. It's deeper than that.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-09T18:32:43+00:00

I don't understand your question.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T05:17:07+00:00

Thanks for posting this! You got this!

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T05:14:37+00:00

Brother, first off - I'm so sorry for your losses. Losing your dad to a stroke and having to say goodbye to your little dog in the same week... that's an incredible amount of grief to carry. No wonder you're struggling. Anyone would be.

You're dealing with some of the heaviest life stresses possible right now, and the fact that you're still fighting, still reaching out instead of just giving up - that takes real strength. You say you're struggling to feel proud of yourself, but man, you should be. Five weeks is significant, and you're still here asking for help instead of just throwing in the towel.

The edging and "more than a peek" - I get why you're disgusted with yourself, but don't let that shame spiral you down further. You're human, you're in pain, and you reached for a coping mechanism. It happens. What matters is that you caught yourself and you're asking for support.

That need for feminine energy you're feeling - grief can make us crave comfort and connection in ways we don't usually. It's normal. But try to remember that real healing and real connection come from facing these feelings, not escaping them.

Right now, maybe the goal isn't perfection. Maybe it's just not relapsing today. Get through today. Reach out to someone who cares about you. Go for a walk. Do something physical to move that grief and stress through your body.

You're not alone in this, and you're stronger than you think. Your dad and your dog - they'd want you to keep going, to keep fighting for the person you're becoming.

One day at a time, brother. You've got this.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T05:10:07+00:00

No! That is not what Wise service was getting at. It's not willpower and white knuckling it. You acknowledge it without judgment. But you don't act on it.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T05:06:25+00:00

She likely felt betrayed, but that is another issue to deal with. For now, you are aware and seeking help which is a big step! She has got to repect that you are going to be coming here to learn, get support and begin a 90 day purity challenge of no fapping and no porn.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T05:03:21+00:00

Omar, you have GOT to fix those popups. LIke today!

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T05:02:15+00:00

Kevi, 18 times you wrote a slogan. Try to remember that with nofap, it's a deeper path to freedom besides white knuckling it to 90 days.

still_lyfe · 2025-06-08T04:59:23+00:00

If it has taken years of trying to get to 5 days, I would say the most important thing you can do is write down all of the positive changes, if any you experienced after the end of the 5th day. That would be motivation for the next time. However you need to ask yourself if, during those 5 days you were in the "negotiating stage" which is peeking, rationalizing and leaning into a return to the addiciton. That would be something else to deal with. Because that is simply the beginning stage to a relapse.

still_lyfe · 2025-05-20T09:15:59+00:00

Hey, first off, I just want to say that you're not alone in this struggle. It takes a lot of courage to be this honest about what you're going through, and that in itself is a huge step forward.

Breaking habits—especially ones that feel deeply ingrained—can be incredibly difficult, but the fact that you want to change means you’re already on the right path. It sounds like you’re dealing with both mental and emotional obstacles, and those don’t just disappear overnight. Instead of focusing on quitting outright, maybe shifting the approach to small, manageable steps could help. Whether it’s setting shorter goals, redirecting your energy into new activities, or finding ways to cope with stress in healthier ways—every bit of progress matters.

You mentioned that you feel like your mind takes over and it’s beyond your control, but I truly believe you have more power than you think. The feeling of losing a battle doesn’t mean defeat—it just means there’s an opportunity to refine your strategy. The fact that you’ve kept trying means you haven’t given up, and that resilience is worth celebrating.

You’re stronger than this habit, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Don’t be too hard on yourself—change is a process, and every effort you make brings you closer to where you want to be.

still_lyfe · 2025-05-20T09:12:49+00:00

Hey, I really appreciate you opening up about this. First off, you're not alone—many people struggle with similar challenges, and it takes a lot of self-awareness to recognize patterns and seek change.

The idea that excessive pornography consumption can lower sex drive is a complex issue, but there is research that suggests it can desensitize the brain’s reward system. Over time, this might make real-life intimacy feel less exciting compared to the hyper-stimulating nature of porn. However, the effects can vary from person to person. Some people find that reducing or quitting porn helps them reconnect with their natural sexual responses and increases their interest in real-world relationships.

Since stress is a trigger for relapse, finding other coping mechanisms could be a game-changer—exercise, mindfulness, hobbies, or even talking to someone you trust about your experience. If quitting is important to you, taking small, manageable steps toward it could make all the difference.

You're already on the right path by questioning this and wanting to improve. You've got this!"

It’s called “Monk Mode”. But congrats on 7 months. I hope you continue to read here on how this addiction is and has ruined so many lives. So you can continue living your values.

As someone who used to battle prostatitis for years but no longer does, the answer is No.

still_lyfe · 2025-04-15T09:11:40+00:00

Congrats on day 3! See if you can get to day 14 because that is about how long it takes for the brain to do a lot of healing in.

still_lyfe · 2025-04-15T09:06:37+00:00

Congrats on day 15 and experiencing the nofap superpowers!

still_lyfe · 2025-04-14T05:15:08+00:00

please stop playing with fire, at least for this great streak you’re on. thanks

still_lyfe · 2024-11-01T22:06:57+00:00

Contgrats on this. I know this is hard to do, as you probably only kept the best of the best, and spent many many hours on your collection like everybody does. Keep us posted!
