I’m currently at 30 days no pmo (longest streak is around 1000 days). I’m laughing more (and more robustly), smiling more at strangers, less anxiety, more open, a bit more confidence etc. Something I find really helps me is looking at a screen as little as possible/not consuming any media.

After 15 years of nearly daily PMO and half-hearted attempts at quitting, I’ve finally achieved some real measure of success and for the first time in a long time I’m proud of who I am. I am in my early thirties and have been with the same girl since our senior year in high school. […]

I am super happy and proud to have done 120 days of NoFAP hard mode. 90-120 days have been the toughest. More than the initial 30 days. Lots of urges and temptations. I was doing fine and was planning to introduce sex and O into the mix if the opportunity posed itself as I was […]
I never thought I’d see the day. I am no longer gripped by the addiction of porn and masturbation. I don’t have any urge to look and I am happy with my life. I will briefly talk about my story and maybe some people here can benefit. I’ll also give some suggestions for those who […]
Day 120: “I want to raise young men who value women and don’t feel the need to waste away their energies on PMO.” Two Words I Never Thought I Would Write: 90 Days I am 35 and this is not my first rodeo. My previous record was 30 days. I cannot believe that I […]
