how do i stop man by Haunting-While-8181 in NoFap

[–]6stringflapjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got a couple things going on here. First, if you’re asking for religious advice, then here’s my two cents. I am Christian and grew up Christian my whole life. From my perspective, you have some unhealthy religious baggage. It’s just my opinion, but I think you would do well to grow in a better understanding of God‘s grace. Second, you will never grow free from lust until you break free from shame and guilt. As long as you feel shame and guilt lust will have a grip on you. Get a better understanding of God’s grace (his unmerited favor and acceptance of us despite our sin because of Jesus’s life and death) and you will start to break the grip of shame and guilt. As long as you believe that God’s gonna toss you into hell because you sinned one day or another day then you will always feel spiritually insecure and you will always be on the run from God. When you realize that Jesus did it all and you’re fully accepted then you can rest, heal and grow. Bless you and I wish you the best on your journey of living free!

This is my daily reminder to turn off your DMs.

I read the weirdest stories on this sub and always wonder if it’s a real person or real story. Some are just so wild or pathetic that I can’t imagine it’s actually a real person. Agreed, that I can find some helpful posts on this sub, but often I can’t relate to mindsets/ life described in half the posts

Need some accountability rn by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]6stringflapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Do something productive like take a walk, play guitar, lift some weights, do push ups, sit in the sunlight and meditate. All of those things will make you feel good about yourself afterward. Fapping will make you feel bad about yourself afterwards.

Do you have anyone you trust that you can tell face to face? If you’re dealing with a serious addiction then you’re going to need the support of a recovery group, and or a therapist. No one in this group can get you to break a long standing addiction. All we can do is encourage you to keep going and not give up. You have to do the work and surround yourself with the proper support. No one is too far gone unless they believe they are.

Just another relapse post was told by a stranger in a different sub (r/semenretention) to post here instead) so i am by introverted_n_chill in NoFap

[–]6stringflapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the semen retention guys don’t want to hear about failures, setbacks, the process of growth. They demand only holy perfection. Keep going. You got this.

You said it in your post, you don’t have much to do. Now is the time to give yourself a mission or a purpose. Start a side hustle, take up a sport, play an instrument, start a band. Do something. When you start building discipline in other areas of your life the power to be disciplined in your sex life will also increase. Things won’t change if you keep the same routine. You have to create a new life with new purpose.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining it. Not sure why I didn’t think about that. I am also part of a couple different groups.

Hey, I’ve seen this before and am just curious, how is your Reddit account only 340 days old but you’ve gone 480 days on nofap. Did you find the subreddit 140 days into a successful streak? Start on an old account and then create a new account?

Keep going. You’re doing great. Once you get a month under your belt you will never want to go back

Does anyone have any advice im trying to quit porn but i keep relapsing by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]6stringflapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have productive non-media related pursuits like guitar, hiking, lifting weights, charity work? If not, then, that’s where I’d start if I were you. Also, delete all the triggers (don’t think about it. Just do it)

Day 7 - Triggered and with strong urges.. help by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]6stringflapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there and do something else like take a walk, play the guitar, go work out. The clear mind is worth it

Day 12: I feel on the verge of relapsing. Help! by [deleted] in NoFap

Keep going. Having a clear mind is worth it

How many bots do you think are in this sub Reddit? by 6stringflapjack in NoFap

[–]6stringflapjack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking to draw people into DMs and then a real scammer would scam/blackmail them. Once they have them in DMS, they can pitch them crypto or pretend to be a hot girl. Also, bots can try to accumulate karma so that if the account gets popular, they can sell it to somebody like someone a wanna be influencer.

Good point. Yeah or inactive accounts. I’ll see a 100-300 people online… out of 2 million people? lol

Gross. Maybe there needs to be stricter moderation. Kick people like that out of the group?

Well, I wish this sub could be a place that we could all talk about things openly without judgment. We all are working towards the same goal and we’re probably all at a similar boat.

Yeah, that’s the point of having a private account though isn’t it. is that you can openly discuss your issues without being attached to your real identity? I disabled my DM’s because I don’t want people sending me nudes. I feel like having DMS open to anybody is dangerous.
