Yes. I was reading that but stopped, but will finish. I’ve also been going through Fortify and occasionally listening to Universal Man videos.
Unfortunately, I lost my streak yesterday and had made it to almost two weeks. I have only made it past two weeks twice. I hope that can happen now.
A universal man method is the metascript method. So analyse what went wrong when you broke your streak: place, time, what you were feeling , what thoughts went through your head etc eg late at night, watching a film and feeling lonely or late morning, feeling angry etc
That’s a technique I was using; retroactively addressing past fails then planning what you will do next time you find yourself in the same situation…
Struggling with urges right now arggghh (day 9)
Going out for a walk I think…
Day 9. Urges! Using distraction, tried a meditation technique but didn’t work.
Going out for a walk soon. Late night film last night didn’t help was definitely in the danger zone and it got me thinking in unhelpful ways…
I’ve got this far…
It doesn’t satisfy
I saw this and I quote:
you are increasing your willpower and gaining control of more of your brain by not succumbing to those destructive impulses
This is getting tough now
I fell again and it was very much what you just said. I was watching a drama late at night and feeling lonely as well as scared and uncertain as I feel like I’m losing touch with my past and am more and more uncertain about my future.
I’m not giving up though, and will be careful to get to bed earlier.
I fought hard today and I kept my streak 10 days strong well kinda strong was wobbly earlier
Cycling in the rain and against the wind for an hour or so total I did stop to go to Asda and it wasn’t raining all of that time but mostly against the wind for that time felt like the nofap journey.
We have a bay nearby and the waves were lashing against the shore and I was getting the spray and freezing wind in my face
It was tough but invigorating and I didn’t give up, felt very much like trials of life and trials of nofap but emerged stronger from it
I think we are all strong enough for the nofap challenge but I guess it’s one day at a time
I don’t know how far I’m going to get with my streak but its important that I don’t plan to quit at some point I just plan to keep going.
Read up on tackling urges today and then I went out and that really helped
Being unemployed at the mo def makes it harder 10 days felt like 20…
How are others doing?
I am back up to one day now. A small beginning again, but I hope to make it grow one day at a time, as you say.
I crashed and burned.
Honestly the urges were so damn strong the whole time it was like an arm wrestling match where you are preventing the other person winning but you can’t force their hand down either until eventually you crumble. I could have lasted longer I believe that.
Maybe the problem was is that I was expecting to fail and break my streak at some point…?
I think the busier our lives are and the more distracted we are the better it is if we intend to overcome this. Honestly after my fail I thought : Do I really want to quit this?
Why is my mind yo-yoing back and forth between yes I’m gonna quit and mmmm maybe I can just manage this or indulge every so often?
It says in EasyPeasy book ‘don’t tell yourself you can never watch porn again because your mind will fight you even more’ I paraphrase
But I totally agree with this idea I think knowing at any point I could watch it and its not going anywhere actually helped the idea I could just put it off and put it off until eventually I never look again rather than ‘laying down the law’ and rebelling against that as if porn was a scarce substance. It really isn’t ; at any point you can satisfy your most deviant urge or attempt to satisfy that deviant urge I should say. It’s not like an expiring offer: Quick Act now and watch whatever you choose because you’ll never get this opportunity again.
The other main premise of the book (from what I’ve read of it) is you’re simply not missing out on anything. If you listed pros and cons actually the reverse is true by indulging your fantasies you are missing out on life in all it’s fullness.
I guess we have to keep reminding ourselves of the same things because we forget way too easily and often
I’ll be giving my thoughts of the book once I’ve finished it and I’ll probably read it again. Not to sit in superiority over it but just my perspective and interpretation of it and maybe discuss on here what was helpful , what was a new idea and maybe what wasn’t as coherent as it might have been

I finally made it back up to day three. This is often a stepping stone. Now to day five and then seven.
Friday 22nd Jan '21
The thing I love about the easy method is the not trying, knowing I don’t need to give it up, because it’s a drug addiction that has only brought fleeting highs, misery and doom - swolling an ashtray would taste nicer and more true.
I don’t need to give it up like I’m giving away something precious, like a kitten you just can’t keep, or a relationship you can’t have.
It’s more like “Giving Up On It” like; giving up on childish gossip, like unnecessary heartless-ness, self obsession,
Like giving up on stupid shit that never brings any goodness or joy to my life, and the people around me.
Brothers i need your help…I am 35 years old and in this non-sense fapping habit since age 12…since few days i wasn’t able to feel orgasm while fapping, but semen use to come out. I was feeling numbness in my penis since last few weeks. Last Thursday i was fapping to porn thrice and while i was doing third time in a row an intense pain i felt in my penis after climax and them suddenly my penis shrunk. Since then (been 7 days) i had no erections at all…Tried several times but my penis looks like dead and no response at all…feels like i have lost my 100% erection and libido… I don’t even feel anything… I don’t feel like watching porn, i can’t even feel or remember anything about sex…I can’t even feel like talking or thinking about girls or sex or anything…i am feeling completely numb and life-less… PLEASE HELP ME BROTHERS, i am very much worried and unable to sleep.
Is it due to PIED or Flatline (but how can Flatline happen on the very first day of NOFAP journey, and that too while fapping) or is there some other issue, but all my blood tests, Vitamins, kidney test, liver test, Sugar, heart BP all are normal and absolutely fine…Can this erectile dysfunction be ever reversed…Pls help me, guide me, suggest me what could be the issue or what should be the solution…Need your support brothers, Feeling Helpless as I am unable to feel anything down there and it’s been 7 days…pls guide me,need help.
Don’t worry @Rohitash I’ve had the same before 
you seriously don’t need to worry.
The body is more incontrol than we can imagine, and often forget, while we are off space(-ing out, in pmo world)
Things will restore themselves.
My suggestion is read easypeasymethod.org to address pmo addiction.
I’ve also started Allen Carr’s easyway to stop smoking
It’s important to remember, due to pmo addiction, we have built a routine to reach for ‘the biscuit tin’ when we feel stressed, lonely, anxious, horny, curious, or needing to sleep… pmo creates all these things which creates demand for pmo.
Yes rightly said bro…i have given up now all sorts of PMO or fapping addiction, but i continuously pray to god to get my erection and feelings back which i damaged myself while the last time I fapped since 8 days ago. My entire confidence has been shattered. I don’t feel anything now. I keep crying sometimes. I feel extremely low now and I can’t look into the eyes anymore. Don’t know if this is just a temporary Flatline or i have damaged something permanently or how long it’s gonna take to come back to normal again.
Do u think that my damaged nerves or whatever it is will be healed and i will regain my erection and feelings and life back as it was before 8 days?
Pls advise bro, i m very scared and spending sleepless nights with always worry and anxiety.
It’s only been a week or so, you don’t need to test it. It seems like a trap. Getting a boner isn’t the priority, we’re here because we want to build, and reach for “the good” 
Getting a boner is the least of our worries. Worrying about it won’t solve it, only bring more questions (should I see a doctor?) confusion, worry, choices - And you know what we do when we worry? We reach for “the unhealthy” - continuing the cycle.
The body will reset itself.
I’m 38, and I’ve had a couple of times where its been numb, I’ve felt nothing, I thought it was the end, but much later, I find myself waking up with wood,… I’ve kissed a girl and ‘boing’ 
etcetera… Your body is more powerful than you can imagine. Focus on other things.
Our bodies are constantly working, processing, communicating, sensing, functioning, growing, evolving… All with none of our conscious participation.
People are capable of extreme super human qualities in the heat of the moment, like picking up a car to protect the innocent, or having profound religious experiences.
You can’t force these things to happen, they happen in the sequence of things, and come from the seeds we plant today.
We don’t need to keep digging up the seed to see if it’s growing, but keep a tidy garden, free of weeds and thorns.
Thanks a lot bro…i will never forget your encouraging and life giving words
There’s a person out there who cares and doesn’t loath you for your pmo (drug) addiction but always wanting the best for you, against all those other guys.
You are Here - Serious and a constantly repentive Sinner. You know you aren’t perfect, You know you could do better. It’s what separates you from the jerks.
The desire for a partner is not a bad thing, but we don’t though, do we?
Our online harem becomes our partner, not one, but thousands, millions, or those special few we idolise, who sway us, where we give reason and fight against anyone who questions it or that desire… “oh but she’s hot”… “I’d love to…” But you don’t though, and you won’t, not because you’re denied it, but because she is pixilated for everyone, everyguy to be her puppet. “Oh yeah, but one of those guys might. What about p* and fans?”… 
Seriously? you wanna live that kind of lifestyle? Do you really want that? Then why don’t you go into porn? Why aren’t you just spending all your money on hookers?
There is someone out there for you, they have already forgiven you for your miserable drug addiction, they want to be adored by you, they want that security. Don’t make them compete against poisonous behaviour.
Truly said bro… completely agree
