I just cruised into 7 weeks clean off PMO. This site has helped me through the end of a 1 1/2 year relationship. I was feeling absolutely horrible about the breakup in August. Then I started NoFap in September and, wouldn't you know it, I felt EVEN WORSE! I really bottomed out, with daily suicide thoughts and crying while working with customers. Somewhere around three weeks clean off PMO God flicked a switch and I started getting stronger, more confident, less emotionally fragile. I also got a lot of support from my new friends here on the site. Thanks guys! It was the key to getting through those first few weeks. THANK YOU SO MUCH to each and every one of you who are part of this site that has jump-started my life.
that's inspiring man! The fact that you deal with hard thoughts that come during the day when you are supposed to work is no joke, but you are doing it. it's inspiring. Keep up the good work
that was encouraging. Thank you very much.I hope to be where you are one day soon. But I have so much joy today. That's what it's about I've I figured out now. It's about fighting for a joy that's greater than the cheap thrill of porn.
Awesome report SBoy49! You're right - we all owe nofap a ton of gratitude. Good to hear success stories. Can you share some of your secrets with us - what was your most useful habit in reaching day 49 of your nofap? Cheers!
Share my secrets? Well, first and foremost was regular visitation to this website. I made friends, I emailed people, I got phone numbers. Full participation. I called people at times when I was struggling. I took cold showers for a week, somewhere between week one and week two. I remembered the words that my therapist told me six years ago prior to my decision to have a surgery: "You can take the pain!" I eventually learned that coffee makes me horny, so I had to cut that out. Today I am thinking about my overall big picture goals and rewards, which are feeling my feelings, and stabilizing my energy level .
Thanks for sharing your personal tips SBoy49! Wow - coffee makes you horny? Hmmm - I suppose being a diuretic it does mess with your urinary system, and with all sorts of pressure changes down there, it may be easier to get horny. Or perhaps it is your own personal wiring? Whatever it is, it seems you've figured it out. Good luck as your journey progresses! 51 days is fantastic, I hope you get to forever soon.
