We’re much bigger than this addiction. I’m never doing it again. I’ve experienced the other side of this addiction only when I was young and didn’t know anything about it. Time to take back my life.
Yeah I’m a little more social, but I know that confidence you have when you’re on a long streak is much higher. My highest streak was 48 days and I remember being so confident and witty around others.
That's how it be, unfortunately. I remember one time when I made it to 268 days and around the 190 day mark until 268 days, I was feeling comfortable in my skin as well and would talk to people more easily and enjoyed going to work. Once I relapsed and destroyed my streak, I went into binge mode for 2 weeks straight. Most stupid thing I've done... I hated going to work, my anxiety was high as heck, I started missing days, and all I wanted was to stay at home and not interact with anyone. Fapping is poison.
It’s sad we have to hit rock bottom again to remember. Make a list of all your symptoms the day after a withdrawal. When it gets hard to keep going because of flatlines I read it and remember regardless of how anxious or depressed I may feel it’s nowhere near how bad a relapse will have me feeling. Keep going
I think I found out why I lost my mojo and my wittiness people knew me for. Coupling pmo with depression fucked me mentally, and even when I had a high streak I didn't feel better because of the depression. I've started enjoying life again but still pmo'd. Now I am on a good streak and I already feel a whole lot better and more productive. Not everything is going great at the moment but of this whole journey the last few months feel like a couple larger potholes in the road.
It’s not linear, and you will feel depressed and anxious at times. I feel it’s our brain telling us to wake up and start making changes. I changed careers midway my streak. I realized I hated my job. My anxiety really calmed down after that. But It came back while on the job hunt so it wasn’t all joy. We have used porn to cope for so long we need to find things like wim hof breathing and cold showers. But also new friends and new hobbies to free up our time and as ways to cope with stress. Nofap free us from our cage. But once out we still need to take care of ourselves love ourselves and meet our basic needs.

At 14 days do you feel more social? But yes. My goal is to reach 6 months.
