[25 M] Neo: A New Journey

*2/8/21
Day 0

Whole day was passing good… But at night… Couldn’t control P** urges… Right now I am feeling like I am not in my control… This PMO has brought me to my knees. I am fucking trapped.

I have locked my phone now… No youtube…no chrome… Etc.

I know my mistake… I am not following my routine… Not doing meditation… Not reading etc… But the thing is I am not feeling that enthu in me… I just don’t want to do anything… Feeling weak…lazy.

I will fight… I will fight.

I have to understand… I have to control my senses… These are the gates.

I am taking 3 days challenge… If I do it…I will reward myslef…then I will take 2 more days challenge… And so on.

I will set rewards for every challenge today.

DAY 1

Busy day… Not studied… But I was busy in some other stuff… Wasted a bit of time…watched youtube etc…

Now… In night… I am having urges to open chrome and search for P**… And then I opened rewire app :sweat_smile:

I can remember that disgust feeling after PMO… I don’t want that…

I can also remember that energy… when I was on my HS… I want that.

No fantasizing… No P**… No edging… No relapse position… No MO

Day 4

After day 2… I was quite busy… There was some problem in house etc… No urges at all.

Also something happened with me… Which realised myself… Who am I… What have I done… Importance of time… time never stops … Time never comes back…

Obviously we all know these things… But sometimes we realise it when someone else tell us… Or something we did.

To be honest… What I feel… Do everything… Utikise your time in some useful stuff…from which we gain something… and try to do something that js related to your work.

I am doing that only now…

I was so careless and now I am paying the price for it… Never spend your time uselessly… I am changing myself…

All the best everyone.

After completing… around 4 days 14hours… I RELAPSED again.

No P***… Only MO… My problem is FANTASIZING… Some thoughts popped up in my mind… those quality moments which I spent with my gf… And then these things happen.

When I do MO…or got these thoughts… I don’t remember anything… This forum…the pain after MO… things I suffered due to this addiction…etc…

And that’s why… After MO… I get that guilt feeling… KYA ME BS ISS SAB K LIYE HI APNI gf K SATH HU… KYA ME USKO LOVE KRTA BHI HU… Etc etc

How am I feeling now:

After MO… Obviously first those guilt feel and then my brain says… I will not do it… I will focus on work… lets have a 1 hour NAP…etc… Then I sleep…

But now… No feeling of doing any work… Have craving of eating something spicy… Some junk food…maggie… etc… But also… Felt so lazy that I do not want to make maggie… So I am eating kurkure now.

I know… Till night this craving of getting dopamine again will not suppress by eating something… And also it will crave Directly for something erotic video etc…

After first relapse… I always feel like I can fix it… I can analyse… I can think that sitting idle is not good for me… I have to do work… But obviously I do not feel.like to do any work… EVEN I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE THIS DIARY HERE TOO FROM INSIDE…BUT I AM WRITING TO REMEMBER THIS FEELING… And Understand that I am stuck in the same loop.

Sometimes I feel to ask to some of my friends about my solu… But they have told me everything… Even I also know myself… I know my problem… I should say…I know the solution too…but I am not able to follow it

Being here in the forum… I got to know… This thing is not going to leave me… I have to be always conscious… Busy… Disciplined

I have to stop those thoughts… Or divert my mind in the initial stage only… I have to make sure, nit to be in relapse position (yes I always do MO… especially first time… In a particular position… That is laying upside down on bed and rubbing my D using friction)**

Whatever… I am not giving up… As usual… As I always say after my first relapse…

But I have to something different to break the loop… I have to understand… After second relapse… These bad feeling will grow more and I will end up jerking like an animal till I get exhausted… Which obviously worsen the situation…

Writing my feelings…is first thing what I am doing against my feeling… After this… I will study… Complete my target… And then also do meditation today…
. And at night… I will make sure to not relapse again.

This is my Today’s task…

I will write tomorrow.

Edit: From now I will write everything…every feeling… It will be quite long… But I want to break the regularness…

Also…To be honest… From inside… I want to ask for help… But then a thought coming in my mind… What will happen after that… my brain is giving same reason as I explained above… Whatever… I will do it against it now… I am calling some of my friends here… Please help me… I know the solution too… But you can understand my problem… You know what happen with us…

@Tagore @josephvt @Adioz_aka_Adidas @_TIGER @Forerunner @anon13059885 @NhTbH @selfconqurer @Prox @drago

One more thing to add… What I have learnt… This addiction has nothing to do with anything happens in my life… As I told before… I had quality time eith my gf after a long time thinking that this will dec frequency… Nothing happened… Another thing bad happened with me… I realised that I waste my time… and due to this addiction I failed in my work… And that precious time will not come again… But again…I relapsed… This addiction has nothing to do with anything happens in my life… It want what it wants only.

Hey @neo_150
It’s a lot you are throwing out there but know we all understand it because we all have experienced the aftermath of a relapse. It’s the feeling of betrayal and defeat.

What if you remembered? What if you were aware?

I’ve written about that just recently:

You know PMO is garbage and you know that MOing won’t do you any good either. Internalize that daily, really think about it. Write about it. Make it part of your character by building a habit around that. Don’t go back to the willpower method. You don’t need any willpower to stop hitting your head against the wall.

Even I’ve been doing not much good

I encountered something same today
My urges were high

So this was the process
I went to Google search and typed nsfw
The sites weren’t there due to pblocker
I removed pblocker
I typed the words again
This time the sites are there
Then

My mind : do you want to watch this

Me : yea badly

Do you want to be able to run a complete marathon (my dream)

Me : yes much more badly

Now do you want to fap

Me : wtf was i thinking to do right now

Then i got control of myself then ran for 5 kms in the park next to my home
After that installed pblocker again and I’m going to be honest this same situation might come around any time and i might not win at all of them maybe it can be there even next day
But still I’m proud of the victory today

Which helps in removing the guilt you’re feeling

To be honest… I have thought about this many times… But I did not find anything which relax me… I never had a hobby… I like to play chess in my childhood but I left that also… From some years only… I started playing it only becoz I knew that dome game should be there which I should play or enjoy… You can say it is also a step after those thoughts when I started thinking about something which I like to do… So I observed my past and I remember this chess game that I used to love it… Only that’s why I started playing it.

I don’t know…if it happen with others here… But I really don’t enjoy anything for much time… Not listening music… If I listen music then also after some time I get bored and that starting irritate me… Even I don’t have a favourite food or meal… I eat everything… some of the things I like much…some not that much… It ia like… If you ask me what I love to eat and I say burger(for example) and then If I eat burger 2…3… times then I loose interest in that too… Then I need something else…

It is kind of instability… I think you got my point now… @drago

Our brothers here have given you good advice already, I’ll add my own thoughts.

You can quit masturbation in the same way as pornography, brother. They are both addictions that cause nothing but pain and misery in our lives.

The beautiful thing is that no one can make us do it against our will. We always have the ultimate say. We can decide to be done with it and stop doing it. We can choose to say No to trading our happiness, peace of mind, self-esteem and appreciation for five minutes of fake dopamine-driven pleasure and then days of black depression, guilt and shame. We can be done with it for good when we choose to be. Isn’t that wonderful?

You are in control of your thoughts. You can choose to stop fantasizing. The only reason why you forget everything and start masturbating to these fantasies is because you still think masturbation is a pleasurable activity, and you are trading that fake pleasure for everything else in your life. You don’t need to do that anymore brother. It will never be pleasurable. It will always ruin your life.

I’ll share a line that my friend likes to say and apply it to this - on your deathbed, you aren’t going to wish that you spent more time masturbating. You’re going to wish that you spent more time LIVING. Following your passions. Connecting with loved ones and fellow human beings. Spending more time on what’s important to you, activities that make you happy and that give you genuine fulfilment.

You’re talking about not enjoying many things. This is a direct result of the addiction. In our childhoods, our brains were healthy and we gained a normal amount of dopamine from activities, enough to find them pleasurable. Now after years of addiction, it is harder to experience those natural pleasures of life, and we crave the artificial ones which destroy us even further. But don’t be afraid, the human body is the most sophisticated machine on the planet. It has an incredible ability to heal itself when we stop consuming poison. Within a few good weeks you will be free from that damage and experience the natural joys and peace of life again. Stress will be easier to deal with, the highs of life will be higher and the lows of life less low. The instability will go away as we stop engaging in addictive behaviour.

So true bro…

Enjoyment will return with time away from the addiction. Even just walking past some trees and looking up at the leaves will be enough to bring a smile to your face. Life is so much more beautiful when you’re no longer an addict.

Thanks @_KarmaYogi … But thats not possible… You can understand why.

Whatever… My relapse count is so high… First I should focus on dec that any how.

Thank you very much guys… For replying…

Thanks bro for asking…

I am not doing so good…but yeah better than when I posted last time here.

Last time… I was completely broken… It was like I cannot stop this and this will destroy everything.

I really thank everyone here…who helped me to build that confidence again.

I passed 10 days and then after 2 relapse… I am again at 3rd day… BUT I know right now my motivation is different (I am not sharing it…don’t want to trigger anyone).

In those 10 days… Many things happened with me… Sometimes I really felt so good and wanted to posted something here…but I stopped myself… Becoz there was a feeling inside me that I want to showoff by posting (which is not my nature)… I lived that feeling and tried to realise myself that completely…

Also sometimes posting here…made me feel weaker… It is like I am telling others…so thag they know my situation and help me… Thats why I didn’t posted anything.

This is my fight… Others can motivate us…but at the end I have to control myself… Etc etc.

Thanks again bro… Hope you are doing good.

THIS REPLY TO MYSELF FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING I AM TRYING LIKE YOU NEO

You will be fine neo I sure

because you are strong , you know what you should do and I will not count this like a help it’s sharing and this sharing is useful for all me and you , be kind to yourself

I will talk with you about ( 2 points) I will not out of it because me too i am someone try to learn from my fantasizes… not fighting it but accept it and go after your day
1- what is fantasizes it’s a *** scence , memorize in your brain when you are confused come because you are not good and because your brain does not know what is the best way to calm you now , he send this msg , thinking that it will be good but it’s not and you lost Everytime you response to this fantasizes.

believe me it’s not a fight “it is acceptance” continue what you want to do after ( what plan for your day )
Even while your sleeping I know this time is the best to have some fantazise thinking that it’s only one time but it finish by blaming yourslef and not out of this maze .

:thinking: we should not watch ■■■■ .
:+1:yes sure , and we have not to blame or fight this​:thinking: yes too :+1:
but when this come I have to be ready :muscle: I know this is lot of Informations , but i am sorrry if i make you bored .:raised_hand:

you are smart and I know you will be free from this someday . :muscle:

Don’t stop to explore

, of course you have something you have a passion about of course you have many not only one too , believe.
We are not here to do what you are our parents talked us no we have to explore because we are alive .
Try to learn how to manage
**I suggest to read the book of **ATOMIC HABITS****I don’t know if there are the podcast of it or not you can search , it’s so super to open your mind in something and this book is the best to understand and to deal with small steps and you will understand correctly how can you accept this small steps that lead you to your big goals and to accept the concept while reading .
If you like music , think about how about podcasts and you will enjoy …just put this title to your paper what do want to explore for today .

Look about The ideas and searching for hoobies no limitation for it just focus on Yourself .

If you are a man who see that to express your bad feelings here is a weak thing

I will tell you an idea to record what you feel , and listen after that and like this you did (2in1 ) it all about playing with your mind by intelligence , you expressed what you want and you can put your hand on what you have to do ,

if you can’t stay calm and still feel this :volcano: inside you .
so you have to know that this time you need to listen much more than talk , just choose the best to yourself (meditation- only classic music-listen for praying or pray to god and talk and be sure he is listening and it will be not shame to say what he already know about -or you can choose your best friend to share on phone to pull down all this bad feelings) .

:thinking:Fantasizes is a big issue
yes :+1:
2- ask yourslef , :thinking: how about the people that they are nature ( this people that don’t know anything about ■■■■ fap all of this ) , how about babies :thinking:if they fantasize too​:thinking:
yes of course , :+1:
They fantasize and have big and crazy dreams :sweat_smile: while sleeping .
you can see them smiling while sleeping and you don’t understand what he saw I this sec.

but he is in his fantasize and this good but where is the mistake is what we do to ourselves that we opened the door without any caring and with high level of curious and no limitation we don’t understand the bad effects or where we will going for .

but practice yourself to put
" limitation "
Put this like "a stamp " in your mind and while walking in this journey of no fapping :
“Everything in my life have to have a limit”
If you can’t do or control and I know it will be hard specially in the begging is so hard
so remember to
Change your position always , talk to your friend by phone not chatting , write a journal if you like to write and it’s boring , try to record to yourself .
We walk in the safe street not the comfort but in the same time not to hell .
Fantasize it’s an *** image come to your mind and it’s ok to come but our action thought it differs if you will relapse or not.
If you stop it + by putting a limitation to your mind every second it comes , you will win sure and your days will go with peace .:wink::+1:

You have to skipe everything make you remember your ex if you still have anything from her and pray to god .
Yes neo praying differs and this calm of feel no one can give it to you but god sure he can .
Live your life that you deserve it not what you are usual with it .

i hope that you will find your peace today not tomorrow neo.
Take care.

I have analysed myself a lot… My PMO cycle… Where I fall… Even I know how I feel on each day in the first week…

I know there are so many things I should do… And also I should leave… Obviously if I do nothing then there will be no improvement for sure.

Thins week… I will try to reduce my phone usage time…

I use my phone only for 2 things… Chess and youtube… I don’t play pubg… No fb…insta etc.

This week… From tomorrow I will post everyday about this challenge…

I will use youtube only when I really want to lnow about something related to my work or exercise etc… But I will limit this time too… to Say 30 min.

I have played my last chess match now…

Lets do this.
