The first 7 days are the toughest which have huge chaser effects since day 4. It gets even harder till day 8 and when you relapse, you feel a lot worser.

So, it is my goal, too. It’s to complete the first week at all it costs, then it’ll go away. You probably will have some urges but not as strong as before.

I never watched porn and will never watch it. Porn is not the reaaon I started it, and I think big part of people here, too. Sometimes I don’t even watch anything. Basically despair and nothing else…

I’ve reached it once. It’s hard, especially on day 5 and 7. It’s like a mini boss and final boss fight. But if you won’t fantasize or edge, nothing can stop you, believe in yourself!

I cannot give advices about it. I don’t know how it feels like when you watch porn and then you suddenly stop it. But think this way, and this way only, they are not real. They cannot be real. You cannot watch two strange or so close people have sex in front of you and you start jerking too it. Try to hate it in your head. Think about all benefits of nofap you’ll get in the end. And, pro tip, do not take your phone with you to bed or bathroom. I know how it feels. :sweat_smile:
