Day 1. No real urges today, but all this stress makes me unstable. I hate becoming a hermit for almost a complete month just so I can pass my exams. Got a lot of cool chit planned for July, I'm looking forward to a lot of it.

Btw, great month special. I'm liking the new system.

[GaryOatz]

[Ruperghost]

I'm in the fourth year of my medical degree. **** is tough.

[CSOleson]

Nope, its from this book. Its how to maximize testosterone/ hormones and become alpha as fuark. They mention nofap in it as well. I'm about 60% done. Excited to finish. http://www.amazon.com/Man-2-0-Engine...pha&tag=01u-20

Good Book

And Harnedy, thanks. For the visa it will work out, and what happens, happens. I was stressing hardcore yesterday/this morning but that isn't going to do crap for me, so I've just said screw it and keep trying to get it worked out but not worrying anymore.

The girl I was pursuing has only been single for 6 weeks, and she isn't over her previous boyfriend of 2+ years. Til she gets that worked out, we are pursuing each other. Just friends. Call it friend zone if you like but there is a chance for me later on. Regardless, this gives me a license to once again pursue other women, get numbers, and be freaking alpha.

Been reading up about masturbation abstinence and it can cause high anxiety and stress and possible prostrate problems.
Its a normal healthy activity and will cause no damage to health.

Strong this, how do u handle it !?

Day 32. It's weird. My sex drive remains, but I couldn't care less for fapping or watching porn. The thought doesn't cross my mind anymore. I'd rather go shoot hoops, go for a walk, study, etc. There's so many better things to do that jerking it, guys... Plus, today I woke up well before I was supposed to. I was energetic and not groggy at all. The extra time it offered was awesome. Also, lately, I've also just been noticing I don't care what people think of me. Someone insults me? I just laugh and go on my way. I feel so calm and collected. The feeling's awesome.

Well, on the girls front, I'm still timid. However, I have started becoming more extroverted and just greeting strangers and people around me with a smile. Baby steps, I suppose.

Placebo effect? Or benefits of No Fap? I don't really care. I feel great

Day 107, feelsgoodman


Thanks for the accolade Tobias That really Made my day.

Hey there ic.

I'm just about to go join a forum for people who have quit alcohol, and post about how there's nothing inherently wrong with alcohol, it's actually healthy for you in moderation, and one glass of wine a day can actually improve heart health.

Then I'm going to a anti-drug forum, and make a post about the benefits of weed.

Thirdly, I'll go to a vegetation forum and post about the benefits of red meat consumption.

You want to join me? Seems like something you'd be interested in.

Bro I still believe in you...but you need to get k9 or some kind of blocker and give the password to someone else. You need a blocker.

[murse90]

Does paying for a prostitute violate nofap?

No...but it violates something else

[IZionLionI]

All,

I would love to have this be a positive post with good news, but alas, it will not be. I wasn't going to post anything for weeks until the feeling and reality passed, but posting this gets it off my chest and also makes me feel accountable for my actions. I failed a few days back - Saturday night I believe, and haven't had a clean day since. My streak was approaching 40 days. It is now kaput. And I sit here again, writing a mournful post, lamenting my failures and inability to get past this addiction.

To put things in perspective, I am now 21. I started watching porn and fapping when I was 13. That is 8 years ago for ****'s sake. Probably to the month or week too, since it started the summer I was 13. I can't even fathom how I've been beholden to this for so long. Why can't I get past it? To my credit, I am putting up a serious fight now. Years ago, I rationalized it. I always felt in the pit of my heart that it was compromising me as a person and my values. It didn't make me feel good as a person. Yet, I ate up what pop culture says - that it is healthy, everyone does it, etc. In reality, it harms our brain. It harms our hearts. It harms our spirits. It compromises our ability to form meaningful relationships with other people. It compromises our ability to be honest with other people. How many of us - or, for that matter, the masses outside this thread who masturbate like there's no tomorrow - would proudly proclaim that we watch porn? Very few.

I don't want to live my life like that. I want to feel good as a person. I want my brain to heal itself. I want my heart and my spirit to be strong. I want to form meaningful relationships with other people and be fully honest with them. Pornography has been my only real vice in life. When I can say that I have kicked this addiction, this scourge - then I will be able to lead a fully purpose-driven life.

I failed last November, ending a 122 day streak. I failed in March, ending about a 90 day streak. I failed on Saturday, ending a 40 day streak.

I am sick of failing. I will not be a failure in life. By my count, there are 203 days left in the year. I will reach and surpass that mark. I am not shooting for streaks anymore. I am shooting for victory. I will fight this with every ounce of will that I have to finally kick it from my life. If I can't be proud of it, then it has no place in my life.

Best wishes to everyone. Onward to victory!

[IZionLionI]

Wow, my post echoes a lot of what JtotheIzzo said. I repped that brah. We are in the same position.

No more faps.
No more relapses.
No more streaks.
Just a way of life.

I'm not sure at this point if the day counter is useful to me. I think that at a certain point, the tricks outlive their usefulness. The counters and other methods of motivation are useful when you resolve to start a new streak. But once you relapse, the method loses its allure. Make a firm commitment to quit. When No Fap is a lifestyle, counters become meaningless. I don't keep a log of how many days I go without taking meth... because that isn't part of my lifestyle. It doesn't even cross my mind. Porn needs to be the same way.

That brings me back to something I neglected to mention in my previous post. I live a straight edge lifestyle - no drugs, no smoking, no drinking. Or, rather, I like to think I do. There's no reason why I shouldn't include porn in there. It is itself a drug. It is harmful and possibly more insidious than the others.

2013 wasn't a Fap-free year like I had hoped. But the remainder will be. Porn isn't an option. Masturbation isn't an option.

[Trekhan]

man, I fukking relapsed

You silly fat piece of tripe. but I still berieve in you.





Day 1 for me as well.

[Softworn]

OP, sorry if it seemed like I was previously complaining about having no gf.

I was not. I just need to write what I am thinking somewhere occasionally.

I like exaggerating a bit to make things funny and provide some lulz. I'm alright, though.

I just wanted to clear that up. If anything, I am just longing to meet the final one for life. I like romanticizing how pathetic it is. That's all. ^_^





My energy is through the roof still. Cardio helps a LOT.

This is more accurate by relative comparison considering how much stamina I have now. There is no need to exaggerate the gains from no-fap -- most of it is in endurance. (srs)

Stay safe, non-fappists.

[Adrogeus]

In on recent relapse spat of posts. Me too brahs. I don't want to describe it, but I'll just say that I'm going to get up that one last time, no matter how weak I think and how unable to do this I feel and how far away the goal seems. I probably won't post again until I get that day 7, then I'll come back, make a post, and set my eyes on day 30.

Zionlion,

your situation is quite similar to mine. Let's encourage each other here as we begin the rest of the year in no fap brotherhood. I agree about the chain, and how after a certain point it becomes useless, and you just have to set sail into open waters. And let me say I think we're in the final stages here of the full realization of how this addiction is utter poison, and we're seeing the lies of it for all they are. We will take the measures necessary to fight for the victory.

JtotheIzzo,

Listen to your sig. Don't leave us, we will help each other, but we have got to stop spending so much time on the internet, as it's just a bad place for us. It's just a shade of what you're turning to porn for, to forget your problems. That's not to say we can't have our pasttimes to do that - it's counterproductive to think only negative things all day - but the internet and porn isn't for us. Listen to that little voice within, telling you to break free of these chains, and love it and cherish it, and leave the internet time sink and the porn and the fapping in the past.

PS. JtotheIzzo, just realized your name was a Jay-z song. It's catchy as phuk.

[Achieving]

Turns out I was right when I said I don't feel like I'll have urges today. Only twice did I have a thought, said hell nah ain't no way, and they went away. Still did the pushups. Day 85 here I come!

posting to make it two non-relapse posts in a row....

[MagnumPI123]

Question; last night I was sexting with two girls. Anyway, one sent me topless pic. I didn't come but edged and released a bit of pre-come. Am I back to day one?!?!? Day 30 today if not...

[CSOleson]

What is up with the relapse posts? Seriously? It seems like everyone went and got bone headed and decided to fap. You would never know this was a no fap thread with all the fapping going on.

I've completed day 29 (day 30 is in the morning). I am very happy. I am de-stressed from everything that was seeming to go wrong, and I'm not having urges right now. This is also day 32/33? of no porn. Feeling good for sure about that. The next goal is 40 days no porn, 40 days no fap. I also am a few days away from a month, and entire month without fapping! I haven't that until before I knew of fapping. Seriously. 9+ years, from the time I was a few months away from turning 12, I have been fapping. So I am definitely rewiring something in my brain.

Izzo, seriously man. Stop saying "I WILL NEVER FAP AGAIN!!!!". It obviously does nothing for you and not only does that make you feel a lot of pressure to fap, it also makes you a liar and your word means nothing. Learn from Tobias or someone else. Hell, make a goal of 14 days and then you can fap. Something ridiculous but easy enough to beat. Once you approach that goal you can reassess your goals. That is what is working for me, and I got the idea from people who are successful. Also, stop wasting your life with 6 hours of the computer. Turn that thing off and promise yourself only to keep it on for an hour.

For the other brahs who relapsed, pick yourselves back up and get going again.

Magnum, edging is fapping. Therefore you failed. End of story.

[andpinger]
