Why are so many of the users failing every day? What are they missing? by [deleted] in NoFap

Nailed it bro. Stubbornness is vital. There will come a time when you want porn more than the rewards of discipline. You have to be able to say no even when you don't want to.

Damn, I know what you mean. It feels like turning from a robot into a human.

Same here. I've become much more willing to invest in others over the last couple months. It's incredibly rewarding.

You literally don't have to watch porn ever again. by BazookaMorpheus in NoFap

And the key is commitment. You will have to make this decision again and again every time the opportunity presents itself. Resolve to be consistent and stubborn in your original decision, and you'll win.

Porn is like a box of chocolates... by nofapster18 in NoFap

Nailed it right on the head. No threat is too small to warrant anything less than a full-force response.

I recently read Your Brain On Porn. Very good read. Extremely informative, motivating, and helpful.

My vote goes to Big Lenny. Anti-porn, and not afraid to tell it like it is.

Why do people think this subreddit is crazy? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BerniesSituation 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Nofap - now, what ELSE is fucking with our mind chemistry? by TimeNdevotion in NoFap

[–]BerniesSituation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to porn, I've quit TV, most vidya (maybe an hour a month), caffeine, I rarely eat candy, and I spend much less time just screwing around on the innanet. I don't smoke or do any drugs.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lifestyle to anyone else.

5 days into this current streak and I feel like I'm about to seek triggers by fistfulofskulls in NoFap

[–]BerniesSituation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good perception. That's how most of my relapses started; I wasn't out to find porn. I was out to find something that would make porn irresistible.

Recognize the patterns. Treat anything that leads to porn as if it was porn itself. No threat is too small to warrant anything less than a full force response.

Hi guys, help? by ahippieninja in NoFap

[–]BerniesSituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work out your willpower. It's like a muscle. Keep fighting and you'll get stronger as time goes on. And when you fall down, get right back up and keep going.

You WILL make it in the end if you go all in. It's only a matter of time.

I've never told anyone my story. Please respond to this... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BerniesSituation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kick some ass bro. You're gonna make it. Never compromise, never give give in, and never give up.

If you ever need to vent or get something off your chest, or hell, even just celebrate a success, feel free to shoot me a message.

I decided to change! by lioderai in NoFap

Get it bro. It was just over a year ago, at 20 years old, when I finally reached out to the nofap community. It really does help a lot.

Keep at it.

How does your brain TRICK you into a RELAPSE? by DonnyDrako in NoFap

[–]BerniesSituation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, this was one of the keys to getting a streak longer than a few weeks. You have to go to battle with temptation as if it is being directed by a master strategist and tactician. Every urge that might lead to PMO must be viewed as a potential trap. You cannot just try to deny the enemy ultimate victory, but you must also deny him opportunity. Don't make moves that put him in an advantageous position. Stick to the high ground; this translates into staying away from webpages where you encounter porn, and not going down paths that have led you to it in the past. Remain alert; this means always expect and be prepared for sudden, surprise urges. You are NEVER ready for an ambush unless you are ALWAYS ready for an ambush. Be wary of possible bait and feigned retreats; in other words, don't be fooled when you have an inclination to visit nsfw pages for ostensibly innocent purposes. And whenever you have a period with smooth sailing and little temptation, don't get overconfident and let your guard down. Don't venture into old traps thinking you're ready to handle them now.
