*On Stage 5 of AM 6.0
Man it's been a while. As always it was a tough time for me lately and I wanted some time for myself. There's not much happening except me pouring my time and effort into my hobbies such as playing the guitar and photography. During the Lenten break I had time to do street photography using my film camera. I had courage to approach a group of students practicing their bartending juggling skills. I was able to ask if its okay to take photos of them while they are practicing. It's a good practice on my part both in photography and self-confidence.
In regards to my pursuit of No Porn and No Fap, I have recently failed. My longest streak was almost two weeks and after that I failed and binge for two straight days. I say to myself never again only to repeat it again after a week or so. It's time to get serious now. Porn needs to be cut off from my life.
Hello Vincent! It's good to see you here. The problem with me is I'm not noting most of the things I have been experiencing here. I wish I should have. I will try to do better on the 6th stage as I will also finish the How to Become an Alpha Male book by John Alexander.
It's not really a relationship but I'm messaging and going out with this girl. Around the time on my last post, she weren't able to communicate with each other for two weeks so I thought it was already over. I am quick to jump into conclusions in regards to relationships to which I shouldn't. I said to my friends at work who are curious about this new girl that I want to take things slow and I believe she also wants to take it like that as well. During the first week of Easter I am contacted her again and she was glad to hear from me again. We say sorry to each other for not being able to reach out. I said that I am full of drama and quickly jumping into conclusions. As of now she wasn't replying to my messages. The last time I contacted her was about her uncle who recently died. She was the one who made an effort towards helping him because she was a nurse. It's like it was expected by her family. I said my condolences back then and she said thanks. I asked her what's up around a couple of days ago and she didn't messaged back. I feel that she needed time so I probably will message her around next week or tomorrow Sunday.
One thing I learned from this is I shouldn't expect too much. I was always a person who after the first date is already thinking of meeting her parents, what would it be like if we are married and so forth. It's a good thing to dream about having a family but in this case, I should take things as they go. Now, even if she didn't reply it feels okay and even if we don't end up together it feels fine as well. I do make an effort but I am trying to let go of the expectations and the results that I want.
The sub probably helped but I have friends and on the reddit No Fap group we have a support group there who helped me cope up with my struggles in relationships. Sometimes I feel envious of my high school friends who are already on their way to marrying or have already married. I am the only one among them who doesn't have a girlfriend. On the other hand I think about the things I am accomplishing because I have free time like being able to freely travel, spend time on my hobbies such as music and photography and meet different women and new friends.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you well on your No Porn journey. We all know it is a real struggle. We have smartphones, desktop PCs, tablets that are all tools for watching porn. We can't easily stop using them because they are already a part of our life.
JG out!

How is stage 5 going for you? And why did the relationship end? Tell us more!
Regarding the nofap: For me, it's more important to not watch porn instead of never ever masturbate again. I don't do it often, but once a month shouldn't be a big problem (especially when the orgasm is dry).
Oh, and of course: V out!
