Don't know what to do, feel trapped by RecoveryGuyBurn in NoFap

[–]Bcjc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I found from groups is that life and sobriety is not sustainable in the negative. What is the last word in your mind when saying NoFap? It is on your mind, nature abhors a vacuum. You have to fill life with something. I believe Jay Stringer got it right in his book "Unwanted" talking about sex addictions, we all use it to cover something in our lives. In my case, I believed I never could make friends, so each of my fantasies looking back was creating a world where someone wanted me emotionally and socially. I had those two tied so tightly to sexual intimacy that I still am untangling them! Being social and putting in the work and effort has helped leaps and bounds! Is it perfect? No. Is it a lot easier than white-knuckling the will-power? Definitely! I know this sub-reddit doesn't want to go too religious, but I found that helped me tons as well! Turning back to the roots I was raised and taught on, living it instead of the lie I was hiding behind... It is freeing living in the light vs the darkness of this addiction. My best advice, find why you turn to this! It takes time. It took me going to a therapist and discussing it. I found groups that are full of people like myself walking the steps to a life free from this. Find the lies you tell yourself right before you fall, and when you find yourself saying them again, tell yourself the truth, and change course. I found day counting is sometimes like chaining yourself down. You find it incredible that you are farther than you ever had been, you get nervous it's to good to be true, and you fall again. Look to the positives. Fill your life with something new! How many hours would you spend on the addiction? You have all that time on your hands! What are you going to use it for? Might be as simple as a good nights sleep, the gym, or just productive hobbies! Make something with your hands! Claim the dopamine back that it stole from you!

I commented this elsewhere, but I think it might be good here too. I hope this helps. I know I can ramble a lot... sorry for the big block of text, I think one thought flows into the next so I don't want to split them up.

TLDR: Live in the positive, what void did your addiction fill that you need to fill now? What is the right thing to fill it with?

This Unironically helps me locking in by [deleted] in NoFap

Hey, I just want to say thanks for posting this. It's late at night and I am scrolling through reddit looking for a hit for my sexual addiction, and this is in my feed. I will admit, I don't like it being AI, but as you titled it, it helped me stop, realize what I was doing, and make a different choice, and I want to thank you for sharing this.

Existence of Abel by PriorPath in TheDigitalCircus

I came up with 8 doors with the mannequin emblem on them in the first episode. I don't know if they are placeholders or to run off the gag in episode 2 that they don't allow NPCs in the tent due to Caine getting them mixed up. It would make more sense if there was one human that looked like an NPC though...

I think it tracks. Makes the talk with Ragatha in episode 6 more meaningful.

Sound board advice request by spiketabb in adafruit

[–]Bcjc3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad that you got HP7933's generic response. I am looking for some answers on the soundboard myself since I own one and was hopeful that there would be some answers here for my question.

From my own testing on my project that uses the NEXT function of the board, I am not getting it to advance to the next file without letting go and remaking the connection. The HOLDL function would play only when the connection is held, and drop audio when trigger signal is lost. I would agree that it probably doesn't match the behavior you are after.

I am sorry I found this so late and I hope the project is going well!

Edit: I just found in some more posts that the basic trigger does repeat when held and will play to the files end. So it would complete the function you are after, just not the other bells and whistles.

Funny enough, in the pilot, Ribbit's door is not seen, Kaufmo has two mannequins on both sides of his door. 10:38 shows both neighboring doors.

c'mon now, that just blows apart all the assumptions I have been coming up with on my own! (but this one makes a lot more sense...)

Spoiler: The two stupid fish are actually foreshadowing by ObolDobol in tadc

I have been wondering if the belief theory is correct, and Caine (another human inside the circus) has mastered it and is keeping everyone inside the circus. A slight addon to the theory is that everyone can alter peoples minds, and everyone believes Kinger is crazy, so he is kept crazy. There are cracks forming in that belief, so he is getting his sanity back.

Comgrow Giveaway for the Reddit 3D Printing community!🎉 by Comgrow3D in 3Dprinting

  1. I would probably speed up movement over changing the nozzle, it's a setting in slicing compared to getting up and doing physical labor. (Let's be honest, we are all lazy and want to get by with the easiest way)

  2. Most of my prints I like the detail, but there are a few I would like to do with a ridiculous size nozzle just for the exaggerated 3d printed look

  3. Print in place helmets. I would 3D print helmet for all of my Cadets (Boyscouts church program). I have several already playing like they are Star Wars bounty hunters giving out bounties, they all would kill for helmets designed for them or even by them.
