I am a 23 year old male who is battling very hard to quit porn and masturbation. I have been watching porn and indulged in continuous pmo addiction since 8th grade. Being young, I had no idea what effects would porn and masturbation bring in my life and therefore I enjoyed it completely. And as a result, I have been badly affected by this habit both in terms of my career and personality. I miss my child version of me when I was free of these illusive fantasies and was living my life to full extent enjoying each and every moment of life with confidence and a feeling of accomplishment. Speaking of which, I completely want to quit my deadly habit of thinking about sex and fulfilling my sexual desires and masturbating. That is why I want to take 90 days of quitting porn, masturbation and orgasm challenge. I started my 30 days reboot plan in June 2020 in which I was successfully able to quit porn for an appreciable amount of time but I am still struggling with the masturbation habit because of indulging into periodic sexual thoughts and desires. Guys, I want your constant support, help and motivation to help me get through this and complete 90 days of quitting porn ,masturbation and orgasm. Thank You!!
Hello brother...already applied porn and website blocker in both my laptop and phone. Even disabled google chrome on phone and incognito mode in pc. Leaving no loopholes!!
Day1-Today is my first day of writing journal on this website after multiple reattempts and relapse. Hope keeping track everyday helps me in accomplishing my desire.
Day2-Was able to resist masturbation for 1st day. Actually, I have been able to quit porn for an appreciable amount of time but I am unable to quit masturbation for more than a week. My trigger times are generally at morning(while waking up) and in afternoon from 12pm to 5pm due to pathetic wfh conditions. Hope m ablel to control my urges and keep it up till an appreciable amount of time by focusing more on my daily goals and plans.
Day 3-Was able to continuously counter pmo for 2 days. But I am constantly doing a mistake of not completing my daily targets and not taking my action plan and goal statement seriously which could be a serious problem both in terms of career and pmo. Hope I improve in future days!!
Day 4-Was able to continue my streak for 4 days. Hope this continues till the desired number of days. Still need to work upon my goal completion.
Day 5-I relapsed today in the morning. I cudn't understand how it happened. And I just completed 4 days. Didn't watched porn but was not able to control my thoughts and emotions early in the morning due to which I relapsed. Will try again harder with a lesson to wake up early in the morning and also need to stop thinking more when an urge occurs! Need to reset my counter again
Today is a new day and you can begin again. Learn from your relapse as to what your triggers are and work to refocus your energy. Guys in here have a lot of great tips on ways to do that and lots of reading links in posts and NoFap info. Best of luck and know you can do it!
Thanks brother, Hope I can make it as u have made it. Just need to work more sincerely and seriously on my daily schedule and try to finish my set targets for the day..
Day 6 and 1: Today was Day 6 of journaling on noFap and Day 6 for a fresh restart after relapsing on Day 5. Will try to find out where the mistake happened and try to rectify it in this journey whatsoever be the reason.
Day 8 and 3:Completed 3rd day...felt accomplishment in this but still was unable to complete daily target.
Day 9 and 4:Successfully completed 4 days after relapsing at the 5th day of streak 1. Felt strong urge in the morning but was able to counter that by waking up early.
Day 10 and 5:Felt very strong urge in the morning and afternoon..countered by going to gym and talking to friends respectively. But almost edged in the morning today. Have to get rid of this edging habit as this would eventually lead to fapping again. Need to develop a hobby.
Day 11 and 6:Completed day 6...took a simultaneous goal completion challenge for 21 days in which I have to anyhow complete the tasks assigned to keep myself busy. Also started a new habit of drawing and sketching..hope this works.
Day 12 and 7: Yesterday I completed a week. Now I have to be extra cautious as I have a tendency to relapse every 8th day from last 3 times. Hope it works this time. Also need to focus on completing daily targets and goals.
Day 13 and 8: Completed a streak of 8 day continuous after many days..touchwood.Still a long way to go on. Really need to take care of my work and studies bcoz without them I wudn't be able to stay for long abstaining masturbation.
Day 14 and 9:Completed 9 days...feeling refreshed and awesome. Also struggling very hard to fight with urges. Still a long journey to go.
