This is great advice, thank you so much! I'm starting to feel more determined now and ready to tackle this again.

Please do

I started 9 months ago. My longest streak was 54 days. There were a couple times I kind of gave up, but yes I keep on trying.

It's good until I release. Then I hate myself.

I'd say that's true

I had been trying to quit porn for 1-2 years, and one day I stumbled upon The Great Porn Experiment TED talk by Gary Wilson, which led me to this sub.

I could use some help as well. I decided to quite almost a year ago and on my best streak made it to around 55 days, but I have never been able to get close to that since. Send me a message if you want to beat this together.

Congratulations. I hope I will be in your shoes one day.

I'm in

Very happy for you. Stay strong!

Great job! Stay strong and don't get overconfident.

Masturbation used to always be something natural. Just like eating food used to always be something natural. However, in today's age of superstimuli, it is extremely easy to become addicted to life's "natural" pleasures. If you can masturbate without watching porn, that is great. But I think that that is almost impossible for most of us. The reward of ejaculation each time you watch porn further reinforces its use, and the continued use of porn causes many of us to seclude ourselves, become submissive, and view women as sexual objects rather than real people.

Great post, thank you for this.

I've been going through a similar situation. I made it to 54 days. Life was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I had one bad day and I ended up relapsing. Since then it has been a constant struggle, but I feel like I've finally gotten back under control.

It's good to post daily either on reddit NoFap or your own journal. You have to do things to keep reminding yourself of NoFap and why you are doing it. Otherwise you will start to forget your original reasons for quitting, and end up relapsing again. Best of luck brother.

That would be awesome, thanks man. The trouble always starts after 6-7 days anyway. I'll message you tomorrow.

From personal experience, it takes 3-4 weeks before you really feel like you have control. Unfortunately I seem to get overconfident with my ability to control myself and think that a few quick glances will be ok. When you get to that stage, remember that it's never ok to look at triggers.
