It definitely gets easier. I remember the first month, I described urges as “DDOS attacks,” because of how frequent and high-volume they were. It feels uncomfortable to feel the porn urge arise, and having to sit with it. It’s like trying to sit with an urge to sneeze, scratch, pee, or breathe. I don’t know […]

I asked a girl out from my flag football team a few weeks ago, and she said yes! We went out last night and walked around the park, and it was interesting. I wasn’t worried about sex or trying to get her home or porn or any of that. Instead I enjoyed hearing about her […]
Benefits: Confidence is the #1 most obvious benefit I’m feeling right now. When you don’t feel shame of doing PMO, many aspects of my character improve along with it; speaking, eye-contact, and not fidgeting.

I just wanted to share that after more than a year struggling with this, I finally did it… I am not going to lie, it was hard, I think the worst process I have gone through. I relapsed, I failed at sex, I failed, I felt suicidal, depressed, anxious, trapped, hopeless… So guys out there, […]

My best streak was 61 days, I’m on day 4 and that’s my first post in here, so I’m verry sorry if I’m doing something wrong, my mother language is not English (I taught English to myself) so if I misspell something or some phrases don’t make any sense keep that in mind. I was […]
Tldr; Fucked up childhood. When I started. My journey. How do I feel right now.Resources that help.

Age 17. Let’s set things straight – this is my 4-5th streak so far and the second one over 30 days. Long story short – moved states, discovered P, frequent M/O set in soon after, was on the bandwagon for around 4 years before coming across NoFap through means of memes belittling the concept. I’d […]
