Figured I'd start a thread on here. Wanted to go nofap this year, started out great but after my first slip I've been struggling.

Physical: feeling tired, bit exhausted from the week, looking forward to trying to relax this weekend.

Emotional: dead inside, a little disappointed in myself.

I'm rather new to /nofap/ and tips would be appreciated.

>tips would be appreciated

Try to do different activities, such as working out, studying in case you're a student, even listening to music helps.

I have /nofap/ on bookmark bar so every time I launch my browser it's the first thing I see, and it helps me to remember not to fap.

Good luck, anon, hope I have helped

After about a week it gets both easier and harder. Easier, because you don't feel like a piece of shit all the time. But harder, because you don't think you'll feel bad at all if you slip back into it. Semen retention is pretty incredible, so be ready to feel like a god some days, and hit lows on others. Sometimes you'll flatline and still feel better than you did, but wondering where the nofap high went. You WILL change. Your confidence will start to peak to levels of maximum smugness.

Do it right and you'll get /fit/ - working out helps a lot, just be careful not to conflate physical euphoria with anything sexual.

Bookmark /nofap/ and keep it as a lifeline.

Keep electronics away from your bedroom as much as possible.

Pick a book to read while you go through the process of dumping porn, because it takes a long time and you'll need a new distraction.

It can help to get addicted to something else a little less destructive, and then break that habit after making nofap a part of your life. But I'd only recommend that one to a particular sort of person, so you'll have to judge yourself honestly there.

Perhaps the greatest feeling I get is some sort of really strange nostalgia at unexpected times. I could be sitting at work, driving home, working in the garden, reading on the couch, wherever really, and suddenly I will feel as though I'm having deja vu backwards in time. That feeling where everything has happened before, but further back, pluperfectly; like a piece of myself has jumped out of the past, where I lost it so long ago. I think of it as pieces of my mind that were overwritten years ago by pornography that are now resurrecting themselves. That feeling alone gives me the strength to go on, the complete peace and sense of belonging, and that I am on the good, but tough road. I don't know if other nofappers get that feeling though.

The more you get out of the house, the easier it is to resist.

A lot of those who have this addiction also have a habit of mindlessly browsing chans and stuff on the internet. This idle behavior makes you vulnerable. The less time you spend doing idiotic shit, the less you are vulnerable.

Even spending time here could subliminally make you prone to failure because of keywords and their associations. Shills know this so they try to post demoralizing shit since the porn spam failed thanks to the mod.

There's a reason why being idle has been frowned upon in so many cultures. Meditation is the ultimate mastery of the idle mind. It might be worth trying when you're not experiencing cravings, because then you need to get physical i.e go for a walk, exercise etc.

Do not sit around if you feel cravings. Break the pattern.

Day 1.

Thank you for the advice. Makes a lot of sense to be active. If you're doing something that isn't fapping you're not fapping.

Physical: still tired. Worked out yesterday so some muscles are a little sore.

Emotional: feeling fine, still a bit empty. Also, I have to do something today that I'd rather not do, so there's some dread of that.


 No.5385>>5411

Day 2

Physical: feeling good, not so tired. Quite comfy. Bit cold, though.

Emotional: Got that thing done yesterday, which was very satisfying. Realized I didn't finish it. More to do today, not looking forward to that, but not dreading it.

Hope you don't fall back, Im right there with you, same days.

Thanks, man. Checked.

Day 3

Physical: feeling good, a bit lethargic, but it's cold and grey here so I'm blaming that, though I didn't sleep great last night so that might be contributing.

Emotional: I feel fine. I think a little lonely.

Day 4

Feeling good, not as tempted as I would have expected on day 4. Watched vid related yesterday, and would recommend it.

Physical: I feel good, got some good sleep last night, ate a good breakfast this morning.

Emotional: Still a bit lonely. Also something didn't go my way this morning so I'm a bit ?annoyed? about that, but feeling good.

Day 5

Feeling productive, already got a lot done this morning.

Physical: woke up really horny. Got through it. I have more energy and am calmer. Feel like lifting (started about the same time as nofap, today isn't a lifting day)

Emotional: I feel good. "whole" if that makes sense.

Day 6

Lot of stuff to get done today, much of it stuff I don't really want to do. Something came up that was unexpected and now I feel behind schedule.

Physical: A little tired, pretty darn hungry. Looking forward to sleeping tonight already, but have miles to go before I sleep.

Emotional: I'm agitated. Woke up horny again this morning, but that only really lasted a few minutes. Stupidly stayed in bed an extra 10. I feel… constricted?

Day 7

Almost a full week!

Physical: very tired. I could use a lot more sleep than I've been getting the past couple days.

Emotional: fine.Got through yesterday, which was stressful, have stuff to do today but shouldn't be too bad.

Day 8

Over a full week. Feel good, things seem to have gotten easier. I think I've got the beginnings of habits in place for when I'm tempted, or at least I know what to do. It also might be that there have been way fewer scantily clad women toward the end of the week compared to the beginning. Yesterday I had a meeting that went about as poorly as it could have, in terms of unexpected things coming up/being int interrupted etc. But I was able to stay super calm and despite it going terribly got a lead (and I suspect a recommendation to the lead as well) out of it, which is WAY better than I would have expected given the way the whole thing went. xD

Physical: feel great. Didn't get as much sleep last night as I was hoping, but still a solid 6-7 hours. Decent chance I can do that or better tonight.

Emotional: Fine. Have a challenge coming up Monday, but not stressed about it.

Day 9

Feeling good this morning, things seem to have set into a bit of a pattern where the strongest urge seems to be in the early morning just as I wake up. Probably good to know, also good to know that it passes quite quickly if I just ignore it and start my day.

Physical: I feel great, still tired but hopefully I can take a nap this afternoon or something.

Emotional: I've been feeling good but last night I had an attack of shame/feelings of worthlessness, I suspect it's what I was trying to paper over with fapping. Anyone else get this as they were coming off? Any tips?


 No.5827

Day 10/11

Sorry, forgot to post yesterday. Didn't fap.

Physical: Feeling good. Should have eaten more veggies last night, but overall feeling good.

Emotional: Fine. Stable, no major leaks.


 No.5932

Day 12

Slept terribly last night, woke up 2 hours before when I was hoping to wake up, didn't really sleep again. Really feeling it today. Tried taking a nap this afternoon, made it worse.

Physical: Very very tired.

Emotional: naw, just tired.

Hi all, OP here. I saw the post about not journaling so I stopped for a while. Still going strong. Lost track of which day I'm on.

Physical: Feeling good. Really no complaints at all. I think your body feels more "normal" and you're less sensitive to variations when you're doing nofap.

Emotional: A bit lonely, I think part of the reason I was fapping was to get a high to distract me from a general lack of friends. Like, I have a few and we hang out a couple times a week, but I def. go 2-3 days without hanging out with anyone pretty regularly. Thinking of starting a sport or something to try to fix that.

OP here. Still going strong.

Stick with it lads, once you get through the start you become more are of what you're actually feeling, more honest with yourself and it's easier to respond to things in a healthy way.

Also, for me a t least, a big thing was eating better+more regularly. Sleep well and take care of yourself yall!

Fapped yesterday. This is day 1.

was really dumb, looked at porn, not hard core but clearly enough. I had a lot of warnings, but I ignored them.

Physical: I'm still feeling the same physical wholeness I did before I fapped.

Emotional: Sadness, regret, very disappointed in myself. Last night I was feeling heartbroken, and some of that still lingers.

Day 1 again. Parents are here, which is pretty stressful.. I'm not full-on NEET but I'm pretty under-employed and I can tell they're ashamed of me. Fortunately I'll be pretty busy today, so God willing I won't have much of a chance to fap.

Physical lost the physical wholeness. Feel empty.

Emotional-- I'm sad but I have a lot of peace (prayed a lot last night.)

Day 3 just started for me. I just had the urge to fap after i saw some nudity on /pol/. Can't give in now. Let's stay strong together, Anon


 No.8246

Broke my 2 week streak yesterday. Don't feel any worse. Nofap probably isn't for me since I've never been once to fap every day or anything.
