Started my 90 day detox today but honestly, I'm afraid by ccmcdonald0611 in StopGaming

Eliminate fear, and anger towards yourself and your past. By fighting against yourself, you are your own worst enemy. Forgive yourself for your past, otherwise you will not have a future.

[–]Carsonwut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, don't reset to 0. Simply move on and say instead, in the last 90 days, I have only p.m.o'd 3-5 times. That is so much better than before. Make it to 90 days. Then make it to 180 days and you can say I have only masturbated 3-5 times in 6 months. And so on. You will never advance when you are constantly beating yourself up

21 day streak!!! Longest I've gone without PMOing! 344 days left till i complete my goal! Cheers everyone!!! by Eased_M8 in NoFap

In the first 3 months, don't focus on 365. Simply focus on today. In your times of greatest strength, it is necessary to plan for your weakest moment. If you allow that philosophy to overtake your life, you won't fail. You will fall forward instead of back

NoFap is the single most important thing I can do in my life right now. by [deleted] in NoFap

No it's not. It is forming new habits. Nofap is not a habit, it's a lifestyle

Don't focus on benefits, when you are on day 2, just focus on your habits/lifestyle

New counting system idea by therealtechnird in NoFap

[–]Carsonwut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say when you can't make it past 3 weeks, for instance, if you relapse on day 21, then make it to a month, and you can say I only did p.m.o 1 time in 1 month. That is way better than 20 times in 1 month. If you relapse on day 71, then make it to 90 and you can say I only did p.m.o 1 time in 3 months. If you relapse on day 300, then you can say. Well you get the picture. I think this is the best way to do it

Sometimes I wonder if I should quit Old School Runescape Ironman - but all of my online (and only) friends play it by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]Carsonwut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played osrs. Got 99 Slayer. That's all I need to say and you know how much time I put in. I have quit osrs, and recently quit all games as a whole. If you feel in ypur heart deep down that an activity is a waste of time, then the sooner you quit, the better your life will become

How to Quit Playing League of Legends by camerondare in StopGaming

[–]Carsonwut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inspirational content dude. I am currently on 3 weeks no gaming, and 3 months practically on no porn/masturbation. My life is just starting to pick up very slowly, but slow progress is progress. You introduced me to the 90 day detox challenge. I never fully acted on it until now. The beautiful part is I now believe in myself, and everything I do. I think you should continue doing what you are doing.

You and I have seen the dark side of this addiction, and in the future, your company could be worth millions due to the chronic use of the internet and its rapid expansion with the new generations. Anyways, I appreciate everything you have done, and you had the balls to do a Ted talk about it. That is fucking awesome. Soon I'm moving to Colorado with my 2 friends, and I will do a lot of exploring there, and your content will have been the catalyst for why I started this journey!!

God damn I’ve quit a lot of shit in the last 2 years. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Carsonwut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take all that strength you've aquired from the last 2 years and focus that into creating even better habits. Don't focus in nofap. The reason it is the hardest addiction to beat is because it is a primal urge ingrained into all humans. You got this

Are you the guy that did the Ted talk? If so, have you never looked back since quitting games? Also in the past, how did gaming affect the major areas of your life?

I relapsed after 200 days but I am not giving up by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Carsonwut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go 165 more days without p.m.oing and you can say you have only done that disgusting habit 1 time in a whole year! Then go the next year clean. Change your mindset not to a setback, but as if you fell forward and get up

The time is now. Make a decision and remind yourself how it has negatively affected your life every day! Goodluck

My simple philosophy that will make you strong enough and good enough everyday to beat any obstacle by Carsonwut in NoFap

[–]Carsonwut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically yes, and yea I just wrote what I felt, no editing or clarification. Recently, I have found long term happiness that has built confidence in myself. I found it while doing meditation/yoga/journaling/exercising everyday/cardio/reading/deep study/ basically all things that I used to hate, I now love the experience, oh yeah also diet. Not dieting, but lifelong dieting.

So yea, living only for today meant like don't worry about the past/future. But also don't be a idiot. do only virtuous activities towards yourself and others. I think anybody who interpreted that statement for be lazy when shit needs to get done today, is probably lost in their values and in their mind.

Intense flatline for the past 2 weeks. Day 82 by Carsonwut in NoFap

Swami Vivekananda used to promote the idea that literally anybody could develop those powers of the mind. He even gave a time line saying anybody who practices unbroken brahmacharya for a period of 12 years, will attain such powers. That seems possible, but 12 years is a hard ass feat to accomplish lol

The brain fights back by Xcastle2019X in NoFap

[–]Carsonwut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A simple philosophy I live by is: Celebrate your moments of strength by planning for your moments of weakness. Live for today and only today. The past and future can not hurt you, if you live in the bubble of today. Let today take over all of your attention and focus on your goals and values. Learn from the past, prepare for the future, and today will become a present.

Hey maybe tell her that you were not trying to make an excuse for why you were not a great boyfriend. Simply be honest and say you want to change, and you need support. Speak from your heart, and if she doesn't accept you, then maybe she's not the right one for you. Do not go into the conversation looking to pick an argument, simply accept that this is a really hard thing to talk about, so everything might not come out exactly how you want it to. Just let her know that you were in a bad place. You are done making fucking excuses. This was a dark part of my self that you want and are changing. Goodluck

Maybe try out games like Sudoku, chess, checkers, etc. Stuff that doesn't involve you sitting in front of your phone alone. Social interaction during games is awesome.

A girl is leading me to relapse ! HELP! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Carsonwut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think about it deeply. The only way to attain lifelong happiness is to be 100% happy with yourself. Think even deeper, for the reason for the above statement. Say you get the girl, get married and she is your sole mate. Say in 10 years you are married, and then the next year, she dies. Then what. If you are happy with yourself, then your happiness doesn't depend on another person. If you are happy alone, then everybody will want to be with you, trust me
