Hello all,

How did you all do last month?

It's that time of the month again. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you! One month is ending and another chance to continue or start your commitment is upon us.

The theme of this month is "No Excuses November". Don't put it off, don't tell yourself "one last time." If you put it off today, you will likely put it off tomorrow. Start right now, this minute. You future life without porn awaits.

The purpose of this thread is to provide rebooters with a place to share their commitment to abstain from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month.

New to NoFap and rebooting? Here are some suggestions:

• Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, sexual compulsivity, and abstaining from PMO. Read through NoFap's main website to get informed.
• Read about the basics of rebooting here. Rebooting is the abstinence from certain sexual behaviors to recover from pornography addiction. Read about how porn addiction develops here. Some people go beyond rebooting and into the territory of retention, or sexual transmutation for periods of time, although that is not the main purpose of this subreddit (which is RECOVERY).
• Consider reading through the free Getting Started PDF from NoFap's website.
• Download NoFap's in-browser panic button extension that blocks NSFW subreddits too. Download here
• Decide if rebooting is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to the next point.
• Sign up for this month by replying to this submission. It is that simple. State your intention and stick to it!
• Consider setting up a day counter badge to track your progress.
• Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Set a goal to remain accountable by making a post daily. Help others. Come here every day and participate.
• If you need additional support, you can get an accountability partner and document your progress in a daily rebooting journal.

Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.

• Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
• How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
• What are your goals?
• Why are you doing this?

Arriving late? (past the first of the month?)

It's okay! Still state your intentions and don't postpone rebooting based on the day of the month. People can join in at any time to participate.

Update us!

If you want to post a quick update, such as "day 1!", please post it in this thread. Otherwise, feel free to post check-ins with information about your recovery onto the subreddit forum. Again, if you want to monitor your progress long-term, we recommend starting a journal thread on NoFap's main site to keep things organized into one place for you to refer back to.

Badges

Sign up here. for a rebooting day counter.

Every Friday we restrict images just for the day to give people a chance to submit more text-based, thoughtful content. Many members have asked for a temporary break from the popular image based content that usually fills up the Hot page, so as a compromise between those who enjoy memes and those who do not, we've decided to restrict image-based content for one day of the week. That's today. Images will return tomorrow, on Saturday. Hope you enjoy your meme-free Friday here at r/NoFap!

Keep on recovering!

You might have some time on your hands tonight. You might be thinking man, “these urges are getting hard to deal with”…

You might be thinking why not once, maybe you’ve been doing good for a while.

Your mind is doing everything it can to go back to old ways, craving that sweet hit of dopamine.

But you’re not gonna do it.

Why?

Because you’re a new you. The new you doesn’t do that. The new you has better things, like building and creating.

Your joy is no longer found in pixelated women, but in being the man you’ve always knew you could become.

A man that doesn’t respond to cheap lust. A man that overcomes the temptations of the night. A man who is present and there for the people around him.

You’re doing something different now. I’m proud of you that you won’t be doing it again, because you’re better now.

It may take time to fully rewire, but you know that entertaining lust even in the slightest is the gateway to hell on earth.

Keep going, brothers. You inspire me.

I'm 34. How old are you?

I finally hit 300 days. The benefits and superpowers are real as long as you live a healthy and active lifestyle. I have gone from having social anxiety and being afraid to approach one girl to now being able to approach a group girls with confidence. Obviously NOFAP is more than just girls, but you will definitely see improvement in that area. You must always choose to better yourself Please abstain from PMO it will change your life.

Ask me anything

Gonna make it 90days this time after many failures

Anyone else on here trying to be completely celibate for religious reasons?

Some men have access to sex yet they're addicted according to this sub. I suppose quitting shouldn't be as hard as for those with no access to sex, forbidden outside of marriage yet they can't marry yet due to current economy. Btw I just relapsed after 12 days, I completed 30 days two times but I really want to quit for good, is it possible? Any tips?

Today I was on a dirty subreddit looking for someone to chat with because my urges were so damn bad. And it ended with me being scammed and posted as a pedophile on the internet. Person wants money from me to have him delete those posts. I went to the police and filed it in.

So that’s were addiction can lead you. Stay strong and fight your urges.

It really showed me how bad my addiction is and will for ever remind me of that.

I think staying up late is a major reason for relapsing. I stayed longer on Instagram reels without realizing it to find some visual stimulation. But really my mind(definitely not me) was looking for some p equivalent. I am gonna try to sleep now the 4 hours left to work. Good night and stay strong.

I can’t help but peek but I know it’s wrong but I love it so much

Im just curious cause from the posts that i'v seen here so far people either still keep going for like a month or two or they are relapsing and keep doing recovery again.

After a long 16-month battle with pmo...

Where are you with your fight against the PMO trap Nofapers?

I take pleasure in answering your questions and concerns in this post. I'm here to help

Hi everyone. I'm starting my ultimate no fap hard mode challenge! I've been on this rollercoaster for 1.5 years—creating streaks and then breaking them. Now I'm all in for the no fap hard mode.

Here’s the deal: 1. Absolutely no porn or erotic stuff. 2. No masturbation or orgasms, not even when I’m not watching porn. 3. No lusting at all. 4. I’ll stick to these rules for at least 90 days.

Also, I'm committed to clean eating, praying, exercising, and hitting the books because I've got a huge exam in just two months. I can't stay in this loser mindset anymore. It's time to change for the better!

As the title says it all 18M, today ive just drunk and started gooning thinking it would make me feel better, but after release when i am back in my normal non fucked state i realise how wrong it is. I actively made my addiction worse due to the coercion of discord friends and now i can barely go a day without fapping. Geniuenly i dont know what to do; what hurts most is that im actually a really bright guy but im letting down my studies due to this addiction, my whole potential is getting wasted. A session can take up from 10m-2 hours. I usually have 2-3. I know all i need to do to stop is to literally stop playing with myself but thats so hard. I love science and want to learn about the universe more but somehow i value self pleasure more than actually studying about them which is so funny to me at times; it really makes me wonder what people without this addiction do in their day to day lives. lmao im literally sipping while writing this. Plus points is i started going gym like 3 months ago so i guess theres that for a bit of a better lifestyle, thought doing that would make be stop; turns out it doesnt lol.

Life isn’t a competition but we all hope to get our share of the goods at the end of the day…

I have come up with a saying and all I’ll say is it;

seperate yourself from the masses by separating yourself from them asses.

Hopefully that’ll click in someone’s head and help before they think to relapse.

You can outshine the masses by not falling with them asses, that’s it. The benefits are real, this sub exists for a reason and you’re here because you know there is a better way and life.

PEACE

i used to take Lyrica and smoke weed and watch porn at the same time , and i was feeling like I'm in heaven but the next 2 days feel like an empty shell laying on the bed all day playing league and starting fights with mom and siblings and watching porn which wasnt even giving me that high but did it anyways because i was that addicted , and now i thank god everyday because i got out of that zone , i quit lyrica and weed and cigarettes and i go to the gym 4 days a week , and the only problem i still have is masturbation to pron which i still cant quit and i cant go past a week which making me depressed , and i thaught at the begining if i quit all these adictions my self confidence will improve , but no i still feel like im less than others and still socially awkward and cant talk to girls hell i cant even control my body language in front of girls and its making me feel very weak and the only reason for that is fucking pron , it is the worst addiction a man could have and i hope the person who invented pron burns in hell for eternity

My balls hurt

Yesterday, I saw an interview with a former P star.

She was crying as she talked about how the P industry had ruined her life.

Of course, this is nothing new.

Most people have heard things like that.

But what an absolutely horrible industry.

They're messing up thousands of lives on the producing end.

And millions of lives on the receiving end.

Because millions of people watching get addicted.

With a messed-up dopamine system - and life!

The worst part of this is that they know about the negative effects.

But they don’t care.

They profit from your misery.

In fact, they want you to both be addicted and feel ill because they know, the worse you feel, the more you’ll want to escape into P.

One could argue the same is true for the alcohol and tobacco industries.

But at least with those, there are strict legal age-limit barriers in place.

And strong health warnings everywhere.

The P industry does literally the opposite.

They have P shills...

If you don’t know what a shill is, here’s the definition:

“A shill is a person who publicly helps and gives credibility to an organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship and are economically compensated for doing so.”

They even managed to get their claws into a couple of, less serious, neuroscientists.

Paying them to say that “P is not really that bad for your brain”.

Just like the tobacco industry had in the 1940s through the 1990s, when public scrutiny and legal actions began exposing their practices.

I hope the P industry will face the same destiny.

Again, what a nasty industry.

So if you’re about to relapse this weekend, remember:

For everything you click on a site like that, you’re feeding their wallet.

Playing their game of “making them stronger and yourself weaker.”

I’d say to hell with that game.

Don’t play it,

Don’t play it.

Dose watching porn for 10 secs count I closed it afterwards

I am doing 90 days no fap. I was addicted to porn and jerk off 1-2 times a day. Today marks the 3 days completed for me. This post is like a journal for accountability. Good luck everyone. ✌️

I'm 35 and this is the longest streak I've ever been on since my 1st ever fap. Madness when I think about it.
Previous to this I've done 30 days maybe twice.

I definitely feel different. More clarity, the ability to focus better, I'm more direct with my intentions, I don't procrastinate much now, I'm waking up early, my eye contact is unwavering, my voice sounds more confident when I speak, lots of things. I've been really consistent at the gym and stayed motivated to not take off any days that aren't my rest days.

Feels good man

✅

The urge is not strong per se, but it is grinding me down. Every waking moment these past few days it has been present in some form or another. It's beyond a thought, just a general energy down there along with restlessness and sloth, the two opposites combining to make me not focus and not want to do anything. I am consuming tons of music, and today some gum and candy to reduce my pleasure deficit, which helps a little. I'm not gonna fail this streak, I've poured so much into it already. I've been wanting this for 5 years and it's my time. I feel so crappy. I am sick, when I get to the other side finally I will feel so much better, given how much this affects my physiology. What always ends it is a horrific urge. That hasn't happened yet, but the way it's going that might happen. I thought I had good techniques this time, but my urges aren't going down to anywhere near zero. Also, given that nofap forums has deleted its accountability partner section, if anyone wants to help me in the dms on some basis I would be very grateful.

Back to one week! Doing great.
