Day 18 (171)

Affirmation: You will face temptation, whether through pics or gifs, when on your journey. You will stumble upon them, as I have, as you have, as many before us have. NoFap is more than a fight against addiction; it is an underground war. This. Is. War.

Urges: God almighty, I have had too many today. Mostly because it was a lazy day and I spent most of the time on youtube and reddit. Of course, triggers abound. Feels like triggers and stuff are everywhere. Attractive women, longing for the crush, flashbacksā€¦but that is NoFap. That is life. You cant just go back to porn the moment you see a trigger. You shut the trigger off and keep going.

Progress: not much, a lazy day.

Other notes: I am really starting to hate porn more than ever. It has ruined society, and for the love of God! I am waiting to hit the goal of 180 days.

I know I go off on a soapbox often, mostly as a way of fighting the urges myself, but i mean it. I go on reddit a lot, and while I have to fight off triggering content a lot, there is a lot of reality shown in subreddits. loveafterporn, coomer, Nofap, Pmolol, antipornographyā€¦ NoFap truly is a revolution. It is more than just trying to fight the urge to go back to porn. The more I stay away from deliberately seeking Porn, the more my eyes are opened to what degenerate stuff some corrupt higher up group (The Deep State?) is condoning. Yes, It is a war for us porn addicts, having to fight the constant internal struggle against our primal animalistic desires, buffered by shame, trauma and an environment that seeks to destroy us for wanting a pure, clean, authentic life. Because it is easier to control a sex crazed animal than a noble pack leader with ambition. Because it is easier to just give up and accept it as our reality. Hell, I am almost 6 months free from PMO, and all it takes is something trivial to trigger bad urges. They come and go. Some are ripples, some are tsunamis. But then I pop on Nofap vids and look up the anti porn subreddits and i see where I would end up if I gave up, and begging God not to let it take me again. You dont have to be a monk out in the mountains. You just have to say ā€œno, I am NOT going back to PMO. I saw some triggers, i feel sad, lonely, depressed, hopeless, but I dont care. I would rather suffer in this truth than pretend to live in a constant lie.ā€

If you are confident in your self control as well as ignoring some balatant prejudice, hit up r/loveafterporn or r/coomer or r/nofap. See the horror stories and the posts. See what can happen if you give up and let your life be defined by a lie like PMO. See the stories all over youtube and the truth of the porn industry. Sometimes, a little introspective shame can be the best urge killer, and a motivation to say " To hell with this. Time to be a hero and rise above this. Be a shining example of a person who won against life and made it bow in submission."

Coming Soonā€¦

Day 20 (day 173)

Affirmation: you will regret relapsing; I guarantee it. Yes, It is cheesy, butā€¦

Urges: none, just slept a bit

Progress: kinda just woke up. Feel a little sick

Notes: just need to get back on the wagon. Kinda started slacking since Saturdayā€¦stagnation is the precursor to relapse.

Bro, i have been in similar situation. With out hope. Fully devastated. Full of regret of ruining my life by PMO.

I donno what is your story is. But whatever it is, how ever worse it is, there is always HOPE.

You have enough potential to turn your life around for the better. Learn why you are keep on relapsing. Learn and analyse your pattern. Then you will find the reasons. Try to form a strategy around it.

And we all are here to help. Do not feel alone. We all are like a family here. We help each other to be better.

I pray for you my friend.

Day 12
Reporting a slip:
Today, I sent some mild level aā€“r videos to me on whatsapp from my motherā€™s phone. I thought that it wonā€™t be detected. But it got marked as ā€˜concerningā€™. By tomorrow, five accountability partners will get a flag mail. :man_facepalming:
No organ/part/figure/body/kiss/movements etc (except face) watching, no p, m or o is involved. I will not consider it a relapse because it was not proper soft p. It was beautiful face talking. It was like a flirting scene in a movie (not even erotic movie scene). It is not p but it is edging (but handlable type; this is my first ever handlable edging). But it is a slip because I intentionally did it. :pensive: I have blocked whatsapp for three days as a penalty. I will not reset my counter but I am regretful for it. I may consider subtracting 12 days from my counter much later on the streak. I will take care in future. It is good to see that the analysis of the software is very strict and accurate now. This has reduced temptations. Earlier I thought that extra-soft and soft p are not easily detected. But they made it stricter now. So this new way got blocked.
