My highest streak was of 65 days made last year during November. There was no specific strategies like that I have taken cold showers daily , workout helped also I tried being happy from inside. I forget about the future and past and tried to focus on present.
I was talking with a girl too that detached me from pmo as i was enjoying her company.
Let’s see , if I beat that streak that year Day 30 started already.
Tips :
- Avoid Late night social media usage
- Meditation works
- Workout is a tool
- Drink more water in a day keep yourself dehydrated
- Cold showers are the key
- Talk with loved ones.
I wish massive success in your life. It’s actually possible to get out through pmo. Best of Luck in your journey ahead

After 45 days of embracing the nofap journey, I find myself immersed in a profound transformation that transcends mere abstinence. This period has become a crucible for personal growth, where discipline and resilience have forged a stronger sense of self. The clarity of mind I now experience is unparalleled; distractions have faded, replaced by an acute focus on my aspirations and goals. Each day serves as a testament to my commitment, empowering me to cultivate healthier relationships and channel my energy into pursuits that truly matter. This journey is not just about what I’ve given up, but rather what I’ve gained—a renewed sense of purpose, vitality, and an unwavering belief in my capacity to overcome challenges.

I am also answering this question to remind me of how far I have come by the grace of God. Now I know some of you don’t use my strategies but they especially work for me.
Right now, I’m at 105 days, and my highest streak was 174 days. It’s not always easy, but I’ve found that leaning into my faith and seeking God’s strength has been absolutely crucial in this process. I believe that through Christ, I am able to do all things, and I rely on His grace when I stumble. Philippians 4:13 reminds me, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
As for the strategies I use to stay on track, I focus a lot on prayer and Scripture. Having verses like 1 Corinthians 10:13 in mind, ‘No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear,’ helps me to remember that God will provide a way out when I’m faced with temptation.
Additionally, I’ve made it a habit to journal my thoughts and reflect on my spiritual growth. Surrounding myself with a supportive community is also important, as accountability and encouragement from others in the faith help me stay focused. When I feel weak or discouraged, I turn to prayer, worship, and fellowship, knowing that God is always there to lift me up.
To surpass my previous streak, I’m committing to more intentional prayer and building a deeper relationship with God. I want to continually trust in His timing and purpose for my life, knowing that this journey is not just about abstaining but about drawing closer to Him and becoming more Christlike in every area of my life.
So, to anyone struggling, remember that victory comes through God’s power, not just our own willpower. He is with us every step of the way. Keep pressing forward, and let’s continue to encourage each other in this journey!"
I hope this offers some encouragement and insight to you!

Hey!
My current streak is my highest which is 85 days. I have never made this far before. My previous highest streak was 24 days.
I was fed up and deleted all of my blockers, so my mind is my only blocker. I do sports, I train, I read and I study. I am trying to be productive and disciplined. I pray and I have a better connection with God.
I found out that learning how to ignore triggering content is more important than blocking it. And conquering this addiction is easier when you dont focus on it.

Hey bro! Thanks for asking! My best record is 431 days. Unfortunately I lost the battle after that, over & over again. I don’t remember when was it but my mind wavered. Because of stress, about many problems such as family, career, relationships, I relapsed for months lol. Right now I’m still on day 20, trying to climb up again after too many falls. What changed me is that I’m pretty sure that I’m not addicted anymore. That doesn’t mean i don’t have urges. Urges are normal, really, as long as we’re in charge of it, we’re in control. Urges are basically just life energy, as long as we can direct it to positive activities, we will reach very far! But, one thing that makes my mind set that I won’t ever relapse again is that now I do remember my BIGGEST WHY. It’s that I was a PMO zombie about in 2016, I was starting college at that time & I fapped a lot. I lost my integrity as a man, as a human being! That’s it! Now I remember my BIGGEST WHY that I don’t want to be that pervert zombie anymore. I want to live as a healthy & confident man. Therefore, nofap & noPMO is the only way to reach my goal!
I learnt a lot about addiction, about myself. As dr. Gabor Mate said, addiction comes from pain, psychological pain, so the question is not why the addiction, but why the pain… cure the pain & you will see tremendous result in nofap. If I were to say that this addiction is an illness, so what we need to focus not only the mindset, but 3 aspects : bio psycho social. Improve those 3 aspects & not only your addiction will be cured, but you mental health will improve as well.
There’s so many things that I want to share… but I wrote too much lol. Oh, about social medias, I mainly use Instagram a lot. Instagram is my friend lol. I learnt about mental health, addiction & trauma mainly from Instagram. In fact, I stumbled upon dr. Gabor Mate from Instagram & that lead me to reading his book about addiction which lead me to understanding the root of my addcition, my childhood trauma to be exact. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but for me, social medias are merely tools. It’s totally the same as a knife. Do you want to use it to cook or to kill people, the choise is yours.
Alright, that’s it from me. Hope sharing my experience will help you even just a little. Remember, your BIGGEST WHY is the most important thing. No matter how many advice, quotes, motivation you read, it won’t do much if you’re still not sure why you want to leave PMO in the first place. I don’t recommend using blocker, because the strongest blocker is your mind, your self-control, your self-disicpline. It’s impossible for us to avoid all the triggers, there will be always triggers, if not on social media, just as I go to the beach, or a mall, supermarket, there will be always hot girls there. So, the point is to be mindful, how to be aware when a trigger appears & focus on what you control, that is what respond you do choose to that triggers. Okay then, good luck!
