Innn on this.

[quelopario]

day 14 and first nocturnal emission.

damn son nofap is powerful, that was a very serious amount. sorry if TMI

also had moodswings yesterday but after a walk on the beach and some talking to myself I got myself motivated again.

[blunose]

day 34. Fck feel like chit today, think it was after everything the other night.
went to bed at 12 last night finally got to sleep at 5am (srs) missed my 9am lecture, got up to go to gym at 11. For only the second time in my life I came home before I'd finished the session. Feelsawfulman.

Need a good think, my main motivation is people (including myself) thinking I was a pathetic growing up. They say hate should drive you, but I don't know if this is the right way to go about life, sometimes it feels like I'm doing everything just to prove myself to a bunch of people I don't give a fck about anymore.

would appreciate you guys thoughts.

Day 15.

The main things for me are that I am proactive instead of reactive during this streak. I've stay true to a workout program and a consistent diet longer then I ever had and I am absolutly positive I will continue with this. Stopped using the net during the week and it's easier because of no fap I would definatly falter without the added motivation. I like myself more and I've made some minor changes in my life and I'm planning to continue with steadily improving. It's like im in a positive loop instead of a negative loop. Girls are much more beautiful, and I really notice them much more. And it's not like I am looking at whales I just failed to see the beautys around me before.

On the negative, I feel like I am slowly getting less horny. During 7-10 days it was insane and I kind of miss it because my libido was always so low. I hope I am not slowly getting into a flatline period. For me it's much easier to do no fap after 10 days, I don't have the desire to fap that much now. Maybe it helps that I'am making an effort to avoid hang threads and porn.

I'll continue on this track because I really feel the benefits. But in the long run after 90 days and complete reboot I wonder if it is better to fap once every 10 days.

I'm going to tell you the biggest secret of mankind, that hardly anyone can look at, realize, internalize and put into action. You cannot change your past. There, that's it. You can't go back even one second and change what you've done. The only thing you can do with the past is remember it; the good and the bad, and realize that you've made it through ALL of it.

I'm not going to tell you what your motivation should be, that is for you to find, but I'll tell you what my motivation is. My motivation is my present and my future. Every single breath I take is a victory, and there's some times in life when the next breath is the only thing that matters. I want to succeed in everything I do, will I? No, not by a long shot, but I will succeed in many things because I try in earnest to do so. I see who I can become, and so I work towards becoming that man. My motivation is my joy. My motivation is the hope that one day, I can look at the myself in the mirror and without a doubt love who I am. My motivation is the hope is that I'm going to have the BEST day ever today, and then have a better day tomorrow. I have so much within my reach, all I have to do is make the effort to grasp it.


You need not prove yourself to anyone. If you seek admiration from others, you already have it. You may never meet me, or anyone else on this forum, but we ARE REAL people behind the text, we have feelings, and every single person here that has gone as long or longer than you in your no-fap journey knows what you've been through during it, and respects you for it. Everyone who hasn't reached your efforts looks at your accomplishments and wishes they were on your level. Whether you meant to or not, you have real people around the world who look at what you've done and approve of it.

Conquer yourself. All of the negativity you hold on to, let it go. Strive to be the best you can be, and you will be successful.

Day 2, in.

Day 1 starting tomorrow

would appreciate you guys thoughts.

Everyone has their own source of motivation and their own reason to be successful.
Haters are motivators and it's a universal motivation to succeed.
I don't think it's your personal source of motivation but one that just kind of drives you right now, and the fact that you're questioning it means that maybe soon you will find your personal source of motivation. I wouldn't worry but rather embrace your new perspective.
You have to ask yourself what you want from life and most importantly why you want it.
I've noticed people's motivation comes from two sources, logic or emotion.
Personally, I think emotion overrides logic any day. Telling yourself that you should do something right now so in the future you get something out of it isn't enough for me. I think emotion wise, you have to decide what you want from life, and how you will feel when you get it. And use that feeling as your motivation, think of your perfect ideal lifestyle and chase it, not for the materialistic things but rather how you would feel emotionally. If alot of materialistic things are apart of your ideal lifestyle that's perfectly fine, as long as you're emotionally satisfied because at the end of the day no matter how much we try to deny it, emotions are why we do anything. Because we feel like we should do something we do it.
Just do some thinking and such on your own. And always realize one thing, life isn't the only thing that stands in your way from achieving your dreams, but it's also yourself. You're gonna have to conquer and beat yourself in order to beat life.


Day 47 today I believe.
The urges are so strong today.
To be quite honest, I miss pron and fapping some days.
It's just eh knowing that I'll never have the option to do them again, but it's all good
Goodluck to everyone.

[blunose]

I'm going to tell you the biggest secret of mankind

Firstly, thanks for your response, really appreciate it.

I think this feeling's a combination of a few things.
I started doing this (both no fap and lifting) thinking I'd prove myself to others (whether we admit it or not, I think we did to some extent eg. lifting for girls), I think I really only wanted to make myself what I wanted to be. As you say to look in the mirror and love who you are. And now I think I've actually accomplished this (inb4 "you're 19"). For the first time in my life I'm really happy with who I am, there's nothing that I wish I had that I'm not really actively working towards.

It now feels like none of those people I thought I originally did this for matter. As you say this isn't a bad thing, it's almost as I've conquered that. I definitely feel like I'm above it. I guess the confusing thing is the change in what I thought was my motivation. I feel as if I've hit my original goal... I just need to figure the next step.

Also, moods been pretty chit last few days, so I expect that's added to this.

apologies for the dear diary moment.

Everyone has their own source of motivation and their own reason to be successful.

cheers brah, great post!

with all this is mind, time to get to work!!

[norim01]

day 40 brah checking in

[BEEG_DADDY]

in on day 2. (attempt #...)

Any other nofap brahs notice themselves becoming short-tempered on no-fap? suggestions

[kanay]

Day 30!! Cannot believe this

[kanay]

I just spotted kanay's post about being on day 27.

So ****ing proud of you man.

I still remember when you came here for the first time, I've had hopes for you from the start. Sure you've relapsed a few times, but I have never given up on you. You and Hbhorat are shining examples of pre-adult males, you two have a great head start in life to achieve greatness and thus far you're proving yourselves more than capable of becoming as such.

Just saw this post!it really make me smile when I see people say stuff like this to me!!199%motivation right here anyway day 30 now

Good luck everyone

[gwem32170191]

Day 45 for me, halfway to most people's goals, just another step in eternity for me.

I had another wet dream last night, dreamt I was getting dome from a hot black chick, and well, protons.

Tired as chit today.

[BigSnitch]

Day 2, just checking in. it's 1 am here so I will soon go to bed. I hope that day 3 tomorrow goes well. I will try to get out of bed quick so I won' try to chop down my morning wood or some other stupid chit.

My balls feel heavy though.

[b3rtstare]

Day 6. I really am becoming a full believer in this. Porn has never been my thing and have always found it vile, so I've stayed away from it. But no fap is really turning me into a different person inside. I feel more confident and don't think about sexing every girl I talk to. I dont know if flatline is kicking in but I also feel kinda dead sexually, which is a good thing I suppose.

[danlsann]

Tomorrow is day 16. I've noticed I've been becoming less horny everyday now since about day 10.. is this a flatline?

[crp113]

day 2 here, the only thing that concerned me about trying this is hearing from other people about increased risk of prostate cancer.

[wellyeah]

it will be worth it when you get through this slump and feel like a beast a little further down the road. there will always be haters who will want to see you fail, but don't focus on that or them. you have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself. let go of the past & focus on the future, find new and more powerful motivations. the way your day goes has a lot to do with how you start it. try taking some melatonin & 5-htp before bed or some valerian root. will knock most people right out & gives a solid restful nights sleep.

[Kinetic84]

Failed today. Day 1 starts tomorrow.

[wellyeah]

day 2 here, the only thing that concerned me about trying this is hearing from other people about increased risk of prostate cancer.

probably best to do research yourself instead of listening to random miscers.

http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer...te-cancer-risk

if you are young and masturbate frequently, you actually increase your risk of prostate cancer. the complete opposite of what many people believe. they are just looking for any excuse to continue on with their addiction.

[IZionLionI]

Day 85 complete, but I do have a serious confession here. I nearly relapsed from watching a movie with like a 5 minute sexual scene. I won't lie - I still had positive emotions for it... which is not where I want to be this far along my journey.

Going to start with a fresh mind and get back on my nightly meditation to improve my focus and mental flow. Peace bros, and stay vigilant.

Dude can you shed some light into your experience so far and a background on your porn usage/history?

85 days is pretty long considering how many people quite much earlier than that...

What's going on these days?

[nicko44]

day 31

[IZionLionI]

Dude can you shed some light into your experience so far and a background on your porn usage/history?

85 days is pretty long considering how many people quite much earlier than that...

What's going on these days?

Sure. I guess I started watching porn back in 2005. From 2005 to 2010, it was a pretty regular thing for me. 2-3 times a week. The exception was 2005 to 2006, when it was more like 5 times a week. Since 2010, my use has gradually declined, but not being able to kick it once and for all always nagged at me. So, last summer, I resolved to really embark on No Fap and give it 100%. I reached 122 days and then relapsed... **** was going poorly for me in life and I just got into fapping as a way to run away from my problems (hint: DOESN'T HELP!). 2013 was approaching and I wanted to have a Fap-free year and kick it once and for all. The 122 day streak gave me confidence, and I want to surpass it and go way beyond it. So, here I am, at 85 days.

But I'm not at all pleased with myself, to be honest.

My 122 day streak was accomplished with no type of ejaculation besides nocturnal emissions. I've had sex a few times over 85 days. Of course, that is not a bad thing. What irks me is that, during my 122 day streak, I was approaching the point where I was completed turned off from and by porn. In this streak now, as the movie today revealed to me, I still want to watch porn and fap, at least in the back of my mind. So as I said, I've gotta get right back on meditating and try to purge those feelings, because one day they will lead to relapse. I came awfully close today. If not for my internet filter, it probably would've ended today. Thankfully, I get to continue on another day in my streak, scarred and tarnished as it may be now.

Thanks for sharing, but how was your libido to begin with and how did it improve? i.e.: Were you not able to get hard with girls before starting/not getting spontaneous erections at sexy chicks? How has it returned since you began no fap?

More specifically, in the 122 day streak, how did your libido change? My porn use was heavier and for a longer duration than yours and hearing from people who don't seem to be anywhere nearly fully cured after such a long stretch of time really scares me.

No, my libido was fine. Never had problems with ED or anything. When you don't watch porn though, you do begin to appreciate the natural beauty in females more and more. Every girl gains a point or two. A 6/10 becomes a 7/10 and a 7/10 becomes an 8 or 9/10.

And yeah, I agree. I'm starting to think that no one is really "cured" of this addiction. Once you start, you'll have to be ever vigilant against relapsing. I guess it is the same with any other drug, all it takes is one hit and it can take you back into the clutches of addiction.

[Stopdroproll]

Alright brosephs. I'm at Day 40, which was my previous best. Tomorrow shall be a venture into uncharted territories.

Ahhh OK, thanks for elaborating, reps on recharge.

It's great that you go on no fap BEFORE you had a problem. I definitely have a problem and really don't have a problem getting girls, but I've definitely missed a ton of opportunities because of porn induced ED.

The thing about never being fully cured from the (not from ED, but from the addiction itself) is very real in my opinion. You have the tools to have far more exotic and kinky sexual "experiences" at the touch of a button these days. Your brain does not forget this and we gotta keep vigilant to battle within our own minds.

It's like how they say in Alcoholics Anonymous- "Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic."

[beastmodemike]

Hey! good job!

Now post past history and changes you've experienced so far (particularly with how your libido has changed)... Please
