All it started on August 21, 2017 when I decided, “Yeah Man! It is the time to start this challenging task!!” But I had no idea how challenging it could be! (lol). I’ll keep this short.
Having completed the year of NO PMO, it really feels like superman powers. Its like if you can control yourself, then anything you can achieve you wish, only if you put some hard effort to it.
Now, coming to how I started and what are the tips and tricks to achieve this journey.
- Firstly, I starting doing it every week. Was badly addicted to P & M. Then I started for a month, then two and now this is the important part that after two months, I realized that there is no such compulsion to do this thing. Just for a pleasure of 5 or 10 minutes, you are wasting an important part of you that you are not aware of its potential.
- It is very important that you have a plan or a strong point to justify the abstinence fromm this thing. From the very beginning, I had a plan and practice of 3-4 months of abstinence. Then as the 1st year started, first few months went easy (means not difficult) to abstain. Then, you know, you have social media like fb stuff on which you are prone to see some intimidating pics that might turn you on again to that hell. Same happened with me, I have a friend who sent me a video message. I thought okay lets see what info he’s giving. After opening it, I see a P video of about 3 minutes length. I was like, “What!!”. But I decided to watch it full, don’t know what happened. But after that it felt like shit man. “I can’t afford a relapse”.
- So a lot of times you get in way of things that can turn you on. That is when your strong will or plan that you had from the start saves you. The real Secret to NoFap for me is that, “It’s all in your hands”. Whether you search P with it, ejaculate with it or can do something better that is worth it.
- Now how to tackle your mind or brain? Well, the answer is simple. You don’t try to stop it from the mind. Because the more you try to control it, more time is spent on it, more you are getting out of your control, because mind is something that can’t be easily controlled and with you starting out your journey, it is not easy. The imaginations that you have drawn in your brain about Women and P are very strong to tackle. And all it needs is patience and it is achieved only if you don’t force your brain. If you feel like, “I’m having all these imaginations that I can’t control, its always in my mind. I’m gonna browse some P and ejaculate”. Really? Think of it like you imagine yourself buying your favorite car or something that is real expensive and you don’t have that much cash. Then what would you do to get that? Obviously you will earn hard for that. The mind is the same in both cases, either you dream big and start achieve or just release dopamine more and more. It is in your hands either to just release your energy or utilize it in something that you really wish to achieve.
- Now I’ll discuss wet dreams. To be honest, I had very few wet dreams during 1 year and that even little bit of wetness on the tip. Wet dreams are completely normal if you are abstaining from PMO. Because the body will release it when semen’s level is very high or something else they say (I don’t know much about it).
- Remember to have some inspiration or have such high will power that will always get your way through tough times during this journey. Because we are humans, and committing mistakes is a part of us. But what matters is the things we learn from them.
- Always remember, your hand won’t automatically lift up and ejaculate or search P. It is you who intentionally does it. Because I have been a victim of this too as all of us are!
- And lastly I have decided for another year of No PMO. I don’t write much so, if you have any doubts (which you’ll surely do cause I don’t know what I was writing) make sure to leave a comment and hopefully I’ll get to it.
Oh! I have written a lot of story!! But I hope that you get something out of this thread. Thanks a lot for reading it!!!
NoFap Army, Thanks a Million!
