55 days now. Still pmo-free in this new decade!
For those who are beyond 50 days and struggle: You still can make this a porn-free decade - just do not give in! Stay clean!

Damn guys, today it was close. I had a hangover after partying and felt quite bad today. This “second voice” in my brain tuned in an tried to convince me that it would be a good idea to fap and watch p***. I resisted. But it reminded me how easy it is to fall and how thin the ice is.
I am proud of myself now that I still stay strong.

59 days now. Tomorrow we can celebrate 60 days!

If I look back on my last posts, there is often the word “hangover”. :laughing:

You know, I am a DJ, and it is part of my lifestyle. But I also see that I could use a break from alcohol for a while! :slight_smile:

62 days.

I told a colleague at work about nofap and especially no-PMO. First he was sceptical, then impressed. I believe he will try it himself too now.

What I acheived within this streak:

  • got promoted at work (which was not easy)
  • finished my traineeship program with an A in every subject
  • leased a new car
  • found a new shared flat (convinced my future flatmates at their flat casting and will move in in 1 week)
  • improved and deepened friendship relations
  • high self-confidence

What I still miss:

  • love and sex
  • a constant better mood (still suffer from mood swings between depression and happiness)
  • less anxiety

Nofap and No-PMO is working! It is real!

Cheers guys!

Back to day 0.
The urges came out of nowhere and were strong as hell. Couldn’t resist although I got very good support from here. I feel very sorry and sad.

But after streaks of 31 and 63 days I will come back stronger.

@tuku Thank you bro!
Your message means a lot to me.

For how long are you clean now?
What do you think about fapping without p***?
I feel like a quick fap yesterday would have helped me release the pressure and kept me away from p***. :thinking:

Yeah, my next streak has to be longer than the last ones - and I am looking forward to it!

Btw.: As you suggested after my last relapse, I did some research on the science of relapse - and somehow I saw it coming this time. But in the end I couldn’t stop myself.

And: I feel sorry for letting you guys here down by relapsing. I realize that once you have a streak of like 2 months you are kind of a role model in our community and I do not want to lose it so easily next time.

Cheers!

@CM2018 hi there, I have been clean for more than 4 months now.
I think fapping without porn or with porn is more or less the same. Fapping drains your semen retention ,releasing tons of dopamine to make you feel more tired . It might lead you to a chaser effect , your brain will crave for more dopamines.
So you might feel horny pretty soon since you go to clubs . Just keep that in mind that your brain is trying to adapt to the new habitat without porn and stuffs. The more you train your brain , the more you put yourself out of the comfort zone , the more you will grow. Brain is a powerful weapon, if you are able to train it , nothing will stop you ,no stress, no negativity. Be uncomfortable, go through the pain. Good luck

A guy trying his best to achieve a 7 day streak can be a role model , a guy with a year streak can be a role model. It’s not the goal but the journey that makes you a role model. And to be honest you are inspiring a lot of us in the community. Cheers :clinking_glasses:

@tuku, thank you so much for your answers!
Congrats to your huge achievement!

You are right in all the points I think! But I definitely believe fapping with ■■■■ and edging are much worse than a quick fap without ■■■■. Nevertheless I will try hard mode again. :slight_smile:

Day two.

The relapse influenced me on my first two days at my new job. I believe I have had quite a poor appearance so far. I am trying to turn things around till end of week. Wish me luck.

Day 5.

One can say, I turned it around. Two events and a press conference managed successfully this week. Going to move into a new shared flat this weekend.

After days of struggles, I set my counter back today. Trying to get a clean fresh start.

Day 1 finished. Finally one without edging and peeking into p***. Trying to find the way back on track.

Guys, I don’t know what’s going on. After 7 days I fucked it up again. It is a crisis. All this Corona, ban-to-go-out-stress causes me to setbacks. I destroyed all my good No-PMO-stats in the last weeks. I am not sure if I am strong enough alone. Trying a new start now, not being very confident.

You better than this, you need to take some solid ground and start building your streak again. Corona can make a end to each of us, if it so let’s die with dignity, and go as free men. Devil wants us to die bound in chaos and chains.

Hey @Mazerunner,

Thank you very much for kicking my ass! I have to find the solid ground again. So many changes the last weeks: new job, new flat, new flatmates, stress at work, this virus forcing us to stay at home. But this cannot be an excuse. I will start the new streak right now. Thanks again!

Regarding Corona, I am not afraid of getting sick at all. Most probably as an under-30 I would not even recognize the virus, if I had it. The fucked-up thing is, that you probably transport the virus and infect the older and weak. But sitting in a small apartment in the center of a metropolis is definitely a stress situation which makes things harder.

Let’s continue the fight against PMO and viruses. :slight_smile:
