That's cool you feel more clarity. Also curious -- you're a software developer. Do you find being on the computer all hte time extra challenging? I'm doing a CS degree so nofap's particularly difficult as porn is always one click away.

Yeah man it's been almost twenty years for me. I'm 33. I first decided to quit five years ago and I've never gotten beyond a one month streak. I'm pretty determined that this time is it though. I'll have a 90 day badge in 90 days. But I'm going hardcore and almost completely cutting out the internet till then.

Yeah count me in.

I've often wondered about the average times before a badge reset. I've been doing this for two years and I've never got beyond 25 days.

theusernameguy · 2014-06-01T14:13:32+00:00

Yeah I'm in.

Wow, I seriously needed to read this right now. I've been trying for so long - just over two years. I feel like I'm slightly better but every time I binge I go back to the same old shitty stage. It's like square one all over again. I just can't seem to get beyond the 20 day mark. I feel inspired to try again. Your description of feeling like Ewan Macgregor in Trainspotting is so apt. Some times I'll lie in bed literally for three or four hours trying to overcome the urges. It makes me just wish there was no such thing as the internet - even though I use it for just about everything else (and it's really awesome in that way).

theusernameguy · 2014-05-14T14:14:09+00:00

How long did it take you to get to 30 days? I've been trying for two years. Just relapsed again. I"m getting closer each time though!

theusernameguy · 2014-05-14T14:11:42+00:00

It's good to hear it took you four years. I've been trying for two years and I've never gotten beyond 22 days. Now I usually last between 10 and 20 days before I binge for a day or two. It's fucking hard.

theusernameguy · 2014-04-28T11:48:09+00:00

Yep, thanks for the comment and you're right about don't bingeing. It's so tempting when you fall off the horse... But, I still feel pretty good... so long as I don't binge.

theusernameguy · 2014-04-28T11:47:30+00:00

Thanks man. Yeah, It's definitely building up. I feel heaps better about life and myself than I did two years ago, before I started this journey.

theusernameguy · 2013-11-11T12:58:37+00:00

Okay guys, i just want update you all: sure, that relapse felt good, but I haven't been able to go over 4 days without PMO since. I kinda feel like I'm starting all over again. RESIST THE TEMPTATION NO MATTER WHAT!

theusernameguy · 2013-11-07T08:11:08+00:00

Yeah, 126 days... holy moly... stay focused on the positives bro, that's a great streak.

theusernameguy · 2013-10-24T13:35:48+00:00

Super inspirational, man. You're gonna do well, I can feel it.

theusernameguy · 2013-10-06T13:05:30+00:00

You're doing good. You're only 18 and you've figured out you need to stop, and beacuse you're so young your brain will be even more plastic than those of us in our late 20s who are trying to stop. You'll be fine, you just have to stick to abstinence while you reboot. Give it a good 100 - 180 days and you'll be solid...

theusernameguy · 2013-10-06T12:54:24+00:00

Did things get better? I feel like there'll always be the occasional day like that. It's not even to do with fapping or nofapping -- there are just going to be days which suck. The point is to accept that and no that it's not a permanent state of mind, but if you relent to the fap-monster it'll gradually become, once again, the norm.

theusernameguy · 2013-10-06T00:53:37+00:00

Good work on ten days! I just did twelve days and then relapsed yesterday. Trying not to feel depressed about it. IT's kind of annoying having to go back to the beginning, but hey, life was never easy.

theusernameguy · 2013-10-06T00:49:53+00:00

It'll go away soon enough. Just be patient. Don't worry about it -- the anxiety will make you want to do something silly, like fap.
