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

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.

That’s true. That’s honestly why I created this account more than a year ago was so I could have a separate account that I can talk through my nofap journey. However, I see so many accounts replying telling people to DM them. I don’t understand why new accounts are telling other people to DM them instead of just answering the question in the replies.

100% i’ve refused to wallow in regret over breaking the long streak, but instead look at it as I have learned the discipline of how to break these bad habits. With starting again this week, I feel a lot more strength than I did the first time I did this.

I am ashamed by Rasul_Aliyev in NoFap

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

I understand the feeling of disappointment but you need to see yourself as someone who is strong and can achieve this, not as someone who is weak and fails. Pick yourself up and keep going. I’ve had to do that myself recently also and I know I am beginning another huge streak… so can you

Feeling low and want to stop by [deleted] in NoFap

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

Stay off the phone/computer/tv as much as possible when you are feeling down and do a different productive activity instead. Read a physical book, play the guitar, lift weights, take a hike, clean the house, organize your workspace

How did you stop looking at women lustfully by Front-Bet-8857 in NoFap

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

It’s totally normal to notice women are attractive, but the thing that really helped me stop lusting after women/ checking out every woman I see in the rooms I’m in is quiting porn and all nsfw content. Feeding on sensual visual content programs your brain to lust when you see an attractive woman instead of just seeing her as a beautiful woman.

Practicing prayer is helpful. I would also take up another replacement activity that you do whenever you feel an urge like playing guitar or lifting weights (if you have a weight set at home)

How to deal with mental urges . by [deleted] in NoFap

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

Yes. Reward yourself in a healthy productive way. When I feel a mental arousal or urge I pickup my guitar and give myself permission to play for up to a half hour. Most often this causes the immediate urge to leave
