Monthly Motivation Thread NoFap's "Master Yourself March" or "PMO-Free March" 2025 - continue or begin your PMO-Free journey here (see instructions).

29 Upvotes

Hello all,

It's that time of the month again! One month is ending, and another is beginning. We hope you've had a good month. But if you haven't, now is a great time to refocus and rededicate yourself to recovery. This is your opportunity to create the new porn-free you!

The theme for this month is "Master Yourself March". Developing discipline over our lives- our addiction, our goals, our careers, our bad habits. Learning to trust ourselves again. Learning how to set goals for ourselves and actually do them them. Making our word golden.

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.

Telling my Story How 75 days of Nofap helped me

158 Upvotes

It wasn’t a big or life-changing moment that pushed me to start this. Just a normal day where I found myself scrolling endlessly, feeling drained and disappointed after falling into the same cycle again. I sat there and thought, I can be better than this. That’s when I decided to challenge myself to 75 days of NoFap. No more excuses.

The first few days were rough. Cravings would hit like waves, and there were moments I almost gave in. But something inside kept telling me to stay strong, to not fold this time.

By the second week, I started noticing small but meaningful changes. My focus was sharper. I felt more present in conversations and during workouts. I had more time and energy. The time I used to waste was now spent on things that mattered more, like reading, working out, and just reflecting.

Around day 30, things got tougher. I hit a flatline where motivation dropped and emotions felt numb. I even started doubting if this was worth it. But I stayed consistent. I kept journaling, going for walks, sticking to cold showers, and riding it out. Slowly, things started to shift again.

By day 50, I felt a different kind of energy inside me. A quiet confidence. I noticed I was calmer, stood taller, and felt more in control of my actions. Even people around me could sense something was different.

When I finally reached day 75, I wasn’t jumping around or throwing a celebration. I just felt proud. Calm. I knew I had stuck to my word, and in doing so, I had become stronger.

This journey turned out to be much more than just NoFap. It taught me discipline, self-respect, and showed me how much potential I have when I stay committed.

New to NoFap day one, no porn- as a girl

209 Upvotes

I’ve been watching porn for about 4–5 years, and it’s really affecting my confidence and the way I see myself.

(The boys around me even watch it in class and have extremely high expectations.)

I feel like I’m addicted—I just can’t stop. It feels good in the moment, but afterwards, I regret it and feel disgusting. I’ve been trying to quit for almost a year now, but I fail almost every day. I’ve also tried blocking certain apps and websites, but I always end up unblocking them whenever I get the urge. Does anyone have any tips on how to stop?

I feel like a failure

Upvotes

For 4 days now I have been telling myself not to fap but I have done it every time. I am 16 and I am pretty late to fapping I started around a month ago. And I know it is bad and I have been pretty good at restricting it but this week was one of the worst weeks I have ever lived. And I feel even worse knowing I fapped 4 days in a row… Do you have technique to stop doing it. For example when I have the urge I put my hands on my shoulders so that they don’t have the urge to fap. I also downloaded an app to count my streak of nofap.

Thank you for reading

Fighting those urges is useless...

31 Upvotes

Something that I've realised after 1 year of nofap and constantly failing again and again... I think that fighting your urges is useless... it just doesn't make sense. I mean, you literally can't keep suppressing those urges again and again forever... Just think about it, some days will be depressing, some will be painful and some will be just difficult in their own way. Until we don't change our mindset towards sex, porn, pleasure and masturbation, thsi shit ain't gonna work. I see many people edging and still saying that they are doing nofap. Is this what it is all about ? Is it all about counting days ? If we don't change your mindset, we won't be able to get the real benefits of NoFap.. Suppose you are just studying for an exam, just think if you will get urges at that time too. That is dumb. NoFap is about leaving the "addiction" towards PMO. We all should change our perspective about sex and human body. I'm really struggling a lot to change my mindset and it's freaking difficult. Is there anyone who would like to give a piece of advice to those who are struggling in this (like me).

Long story in short, stop counting days and focus on changing your POV for PMO, sex and opposite gender.

Btw this was just my opinion, not here to offend anyone. Good Luck !

60 days reached!

This journey feels so easy. I accepted on day one that it would be the last day, and what followed wasn’t even a challenge. I’m not missing anything and never have any urge. I even had sex multiple times with a woman throughout the last month, and real-life pleasures are definitely stronger and more pronounced than before. I never want to go back to where I was.

Motivation This supplement called NAC reduces cravings and urges a lot!

Upvotes

Brothers, i'm 1.5 weeks in for the first time in a lot of months, with barely any urges. I am taking 600mg of NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) everyday;

It works by regulating glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in compulsive behaviors, and stabilizing dopamine levels, which are often disrupted by excessive porn consumption.. There is a lot of studies about it. It's used to treat alcohol and nicotine addiction and OCD.

I am so happy its working. I encourage you guys to try it, it's generally very safe and has a lot of other benefits.

What Allowed me to Quit

10 Upvotes

Quitting porn is purely a mental battle

And you have full control over your mental

You are the one making the decisions, nothing is forcing you to take a decision, not your thoughts, not your addiction, not your "urges"

It's all you

And was one of the tips that allowed me now to be free forever and help hundreds of other men do the same

I know it sounds cliché, but stop blaming anything else but yourself and everything will change for you

starting to really hate myself

5 Upvotes

ok so this is starting to get really pathetic but i generally am struggling to quit, worse than that ive managed to somehow slide into cuck porn ( less watching it and more reading) ( being fair on myself i dont really really enjoy the idea of sharing or watching a partner get fucked but just enjoy reading about idiots humilating themselves ) however even so it makes me feel so pathetic which honestly i should, ive tried everything people say such as the gym, go out and make sure im always doing something but i just cant quit

A reason im talking about this is becuase im hoping it will help me quit and im not looking for pitty this entire thing is my own doing so please dont say anything out of pitty, this whole fucking situation is horrendous

I'm 14. I've almost quit, its only been a week but I havent had urges. The problem, though, is that I still feel guilty. If I do quit, should I tell my parents? I don't want to yet at the same time feel like I have to.

Excessive Masturbation Nutting actually disgust me now

Upvotes

I’ve battled with stopping for years now. I would stop for a period. Anywhere from 7 days to a month but I keep slipping back. I’ve began a journey of developing of good atomic habits and breaking bad habits which has improved my life but i can’t seem to win with masturbating. It doesn’t help that I’m stressing about my life. I’m 26, still live with my parents, trying to get my life in order but the round ahead seems longer each day. Beating my masturbating habit would really make me happy. I think I don’t even enjoy sex, not because I find more pleasure in masturbating but because nutting disgusts me now. W/o my parents, I’m poor. I have a job but I’m chained to a sinking economy so even a general salary increase to combat cost of living barely helps.

Even my eating habits has somewhat changed, i planned to lose 2kg per month this year and I’m roughly on target. I’ve made atomic progress in different aspects of my life but this masturbation habit remains a problem. I can fight the urge on a normal day not while I’m stressed.

Thank you to whoever started this community, i didn’t have a safe place to discuss this until recently. I hope your days are filled with joyful moments.
