1) is to try to separate the fap, from the porn, what i mean is that you should concentrate on removing porn completely from your life first, because tackling both porn and extreme horniness from nofap is very difficult, and the binges brutal, i know it. For me porn was a source of constant novelty, i did not go to a pron site to watch porn per se i was going there for 'whats new?'
What i mean is try to get 100+ days with no porn, and if horny hold it as much as you can but when it starts to interfere with your concentration and your ability to be produtive, fap away. But with no porn whatsoever.
2) I found that 20 minutes of simple "concentrate on the breath/vipassana" meditation per day is great for dissipating sexual energy. It also helps clearing away all the emotional junk you might still be holding so more power to you in the end.
Hey man thanks for this. Especially since this is your first post in this board. Welcome aboard.
It's been a month since I last visited my journal. I agree that I need to separate porn from fapping. Yes, I also visited porn sites to see "What's new" the novelty is what I crave. I've been studying my addiction for the past month. I've had a couple of relapses I think. Now I'm on my 10+ day streak. Though I already viewed porn. Sometimes it's so hard to fight myself from watching them.
I plan on doing meditation but instead I took up other things like practicing my guitar more and working on more hours on my job. In that way I can focus the energy on productive things. Also, on trying to buy and sell stuff to earn some money.
For the record I'm on Alpha Male 5.0 Stage 2. It is my second run already.
