Hello – So I am officially cured, or at least about 98% so. I haven’t been on this site for a long time, but I wanted to come back as a public service to the forum. I also found that reading about porn generally wasn’t doing a good job of keeping my mind off of […]

According to my “Don’t break your chain” app, this is my 100th day of not fapping to porn. About 60-something days in, it became part of my identity. Some things I noticed along the way: The first 30 days were the hardest. Those were the days where making that “X” in my app and reading […]
it’s been 365 days of hardmode, I remember making the 90 days post about not seeing myself here at 365 days but shit, here I am. This is my third streak of NoFap. I’ve always had discipline, I suppose I’m a bit masochistic so I derive pleasure from not indulging. This was also the problem […]

I’ve been PMO free for more than 90 days. I don’t post a lot on nofap.com but I feel the need to share what has helped me along the way as I know you’re all struggling right along with me…fighting the good fight. I’m not looking for encouragement or congratulations. I just want to share […]
Read More… from 90 days – Married: Sharing what has FINALLY gotten me to this point in my life
I wasn’t planning on writing a 90-day report on various reasons: first of all, there’s already a lot of them and I wasn’t sure if I had something new to say. Furthermore, I was sort of cheating during my streak. Last September, a friend of mine from my time at the Uni came over for […]
Read More… from Age 34 – NoFap got me to stop playing the victim card
DAY 1 I was unemployed out of college, living with my parents, single, and had a porn problem that was destroying my life. Brain fog made intelligible thought near impossible, and anxiety made social contact a terrifying obligation. WEEK 1 Re-started working out (This one’s proven. Boosts confidence, gives you a sense of accomplishment, it’s […]
I learned about the biology / psychology behind my porn addiction. I read everything I could about my addiction in this forum, at the Yourbrainonporn webpage, and several addiction recovery webpages.
