Last week I broke my streak of 917 days, then relapsed again 3 days later. Why? I hadn’t seen my girlfriend for 4 weeks and I wasn’t keeping my sexual thoughts under control. It’s frustrating because being able to maintain control in that respect is what kept me going for so long, I guess I […]

COMMENTS: This brain scan study is added to our list of neurological studies on sex addicts and porn users.

I feel fucking great. Not JUST cause I haven’t looked at porn. But because of that PLUS every other change that I’ve made after deciding to do NoFap. 2 HUGE things that are CRUCIAL for me, personally: Sobriety – This one’s huge for me.

I discovered I was addicted to porn/masturbation about 2,5 years ago. In that time I was so stuck. That I could not even go 2 days without pmo. These last 2.5 years I had lots of depression and relapses, learned a lot after every relapse. In my last relapse-binged, I binged 3 days in a […]
This is my first attempt at No Fap, I hope my story inspires individuals struggling with this addiction.
