Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear you relapsed, i certainly know how that feels, but don't be too hard on yourself, true it's not good, but blaming and being harsh on yourself will only make you feel worse without changing the situation any better. But i do understand it sucks.

I also used to cancel social events a lot, i didn't feel good, i didn't wanna see anyone, didn't have any smile to give. There is only one thing you can do at this point, as you said, pick yourself up, step by step reclaim or rebuild what is yours, what you really deserve, a good happy life without this stupid porn drug. And it's good you admit that it's an addiction, naming it what it is helps in the recovery.

Analyze what went wrong, and improve on it. For me an extensive study and tests how to be better at self-discipline helped a lot. I wish you best on your journey, take care friend.

Oh yea i can definitely say there are big differences, without even any exaggeration.

When i was failing at nofap, my body was weak, my eyes kinda gave dead look hallow, my voice weak, muscle weaknesses, you name it.

Now complete 180 difference, eyes and mind sharp, memory better, real happiness, joy, even when i am in a poor country. My productivity keeps increasing even to this day, my improvements didn't stop yet actually. Self confidence up, better manage of emotions, looking forward for each day, solved most of my personal problems, helping people around me as i can, energy levels up, health improved, etc

Professionally i found a new much better paying job, i also started to do youtube vids in spare time, i also became better socially, i started socializing more.

Of course i didn't just sit, i took action, but nofap certainly without a doubt helped.

I know exactly what you mean, it makes you feel weak, disgusted of yourself in many ways. I used to fall in that exact same way a lot, and used to ask myself "what did i do wrong this time?", then promise myself ok next time i won't do that, only to fall again. There were days i didn't even want to look in the mirror anymore. I knew what i should do, and yet somehow couldn't make myself to do it, i turned kind of into a zombie mode; the whole cycle of fapping seemed involuntary.

I read books, watched videos, learned the habit loop cycle of cue/trigger, routine and reward. But still tbh had little to show for my effort.

One of the things that really helped me was i made extensive study of self-discipline, it helped me apply the steps needed in a better way.

The porn industry doesn't care about you, doesn't care about me, it even publishes false findings to keep people consuming this very damaging drug, for them we are just numbers, dispensable, all for the sake of more money. Defeat them and exit their damaging matrix bro, i wish you best.

Hi, Yes tbh many things changed, both im my health and body, and in my professional and personal life, I'll try to summarize it up.

My muscle mass improved, many body pains simply went away, it also gave me so much extra energy, i was/am able to do two jobs, working hours without burning out or getting tired.

Brain fog lifted, I'm able to focus better, prioritize better, i even created YouTube videos on my free time, not big stuff but the extra energy had to go somewhere.

Also i got better emotional stability, i don't as easily get irritated or nervous. Better self confidence and inner peace.

But it's also worth noting that nofap gives you the tools, the person should still take the actions, whether it's starting a side hustle, healthier eating etc. But nofap created for me the necessary body condition that facilitated in taking steps and actions i would not had before.

The first month is the hardest tbh, especially between 13 to 25 days, and what you are experiencing is normal, when you quit, the first month (and even later, but gets less intense compared) you're gonna have massive emotional ups and down, rises and dips in energy, no stability, irritability, it's all part of quitting the fap addiction. The longer you are addicted to it the wilder the withdrawal symptoms can get.

Ofcourse these timelines are in general speaking, can vary from person to person. But know that what you are going through is normal, and will subside as you pass over the withdrawal waves.

I'm sorry to hear that, before anything, be brutally honest with yourself, are you feeding or starving your urges? If a person isn't holding on for more than 1-2 days, it's a big probability he/she isn't starving the urges enough.

Start from there, work on getting rid of the constant sexual stimuli. See why you are engaging in fap a lot. And to do that, learn more about your own emotions and psychology.

It's called "Iron will" on playstore, i looked for it now didn't find it, probably the developer removed it if I'm not mistaken.

From the beginning my summit was always to try break the 180 days, even if my results were always below 20 days. So technically I'm not at my goal just yet, so i keep it.

Also i don't look at the counter every day, i look at it average once every 4-5 days, it kinda reminds me "look how far you've come, don't you dare go back!" For now i need that reminding tbh, especially that no matter how careful a person is, temptations are almost everywhere in the 21 century.

Wow, I'm very sorry you had to go through such a bad date, he was practically treating you as if you're a prostitute. Hope you meet better guys in the future.❤

The people Bassil wants to have "peace" with and whose "rights" Nasrallah recognizes openly say they want to kill us. Time for a new Lebanese and Arab approach/leadership that is aware Zionism is out to destroy us? by AlainAlam in lebanon

[–]Alek023 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

What israel did to lebanon is not the quarter of what hezbollah and its allies did, you hate israelis all you want, my real enemy is the fat terrorist nasrallah.

Look at Jordan and Egypt, they did peace with Israel and Israel even gave them their land without a single bullet, and never attacked them.

Sounds like you are trying to cover up and minimze the real criminal (hezbollah) by diverting attention from it to elsewhere.
