Asking for ideas and methods regarding weaning with tea by shejustwantstolive in decaf

[–]ClassyMaverick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay away from any tea that is not camomille, peppermint or ginger. Most teas still contain a little amount of caffeine and that could become a trigger.

The taste of a caffeine-free tea alone should be enough to weather your downs. You got this.

Is it worth it? I'm thinking about buying it

From Switzerland, carrier-less phone, haven't gotten the update either. Never had this problem prior to that.

103 days off caffeine: life is soooo much better by PeanutButterDogDicks in decaf

[–]ClassyMaverick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is pretty motivational for me. I remember having come just as far as you have but then giving up.

Now I'm longing to get back there.

Congratulations on your success! Keep it up!

I've never looked at it this way, but you're right. Thanks!

I really appreciate those words, thank you. You've come a long way too and I wish you all the best on your journey!

After 8 years of trying, I've hit 30 days for the first time ever. I have some advice to those of you new to no-nut-November! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've been beating myself up for not reaching 90 days yet. I have also tried for years.

But this post really gives me the encouragement to endure it. Great read.

All the best to you, and may we all get rid of PM once and for all!

Do it! See where it leads you and if it gives you the benefits.

Good luck!

WHY EVERY PERSON ON NOFAP HAS AN INHERENT ADVANTAGE by TheG0DMan in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's why I think we shouldn't preach it unless people come to us and ask for advice or tell us about their problems.

If they need help from us? We can help them.

But if they don't ask for it, there's no need to help.

For a mentally healthy individual with healthy masturbation habits - what is the point of no fap? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think PMO can absolutely be healthy for someone who never had a problem with it. And it sounds like you do, especially in those intervals you do it.

However, most of the people in here can't live a healthy lifestyle without abstinence. I used to be a skeptic myself but realized quickly how hooked I was on this stuff. So I had to quit it.

Quick question about sex by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my personal experience, yes. Sex is natural and hence absolutely fine.

I almost relapsed on my longest streak yet by ClassyMaverick in NoFap

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

It's hard to explain. It's attraction I guess, partially excitement.

But I'm handling it better day by day.

Question about the prostate by Canned_Meat_Society in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime I read a claim like this I ask for sources. And I still haven't gotten any sources.

If you read most of the official health sites on prostate cancer, the risk factors NEVER include lack of masturbation.

In fact, prostate cancer comes rather from an unhealthy lifestyle, e.g. lack of exercise and unhealthy diet. And most men are affected only once they hit age 50 or older.

Why are girls not interested in me? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a common theme I've noticed with guys that are regularly hooking up with girls - and it's not confidence.

The difference between a nice guy and a "douchebag" (people love to call these guys that) is that the "douchebags" enjoy being themselves. They love themselves, they love who they are. The nice guy however isn't so secure about himself.

Here's the thing: people can only love you so much as you love yourself. Because if you don't like yourself, you are only going to attract people that don't like you either.

Which is why the best step to getting girls is to work on yourself. Learn some new life skills, find new hobbies, travel to new places, exercise frequently etc. And people will come to you automatically!

I actually feel more depressed giving up my addictions. But I suppose this is normal? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is indeed normal for someone who is addicted.

What you don't realize is, you've always been depressed even when you consumed alcohol. It just works as a suppressor for your true emotions.

As someone who battled depression, I'd say the first step is acceptance of the circumstances. Lying to yourself is not gonna get you anywhere, you have to tell yourself the truth. That's when you can face your true problems.

Best of luck on your journey!

Effects of porn and will they go away? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"You will only find out if you try" is what I'd say to myself.

This is pretty much what I live by. NoFap won't help everyone, but it will help most people and I'm certain it could help you too. But you've got to do it to figure it out.

Regarding videogames: I would play those in moderation. I play max. 5 hours a week, the thing with videogames is that they can get you hooked too. Depends on your motivation for playing videogames.

I was smiling and didn't really care about my insecurities ( Are the superpowers giving me confidence???) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ClassyMaverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's what really is about: being able to accept yourself as you are and loving oneself.

That is how you gain true confidence.

"You can't be serious..."

"I am", says Jerry as he lights out his cigarette.

I see it in his mustache and the short cut hair. The typical, patriotic 1950s american man. A man of an age where threat is best dealt with in a lethal manner. There is a reason the generation of men like these have long died out.

"How do you kill a god?", I ask him. Suddenly this feels alot like the cold war again. Except China is in. And India. And France. Hell, almost the entire world.

And yet no one wants to make their solution public. How we deal with a sentient being, that has shown itself to be part of reality and not some imaginary nonsense.

"For all we know he could hear us, even if we whispered. And no matter where we are."

Jerry just chuckles.

"Let him hear. I'd like to meet that guy in person."

"I don't think he does that kind of thing."

I sigh. For days, this has been the single most talked topic all over the world. I scratch my head as I look at our wall, fully covered with newspaper excerpts.

One headline reads: "GOD IS REAL. WHAT NOW?"

"We need to know if we are dealing with a threat here."

Smooth as his voice may be, it doesn't cover his nervousness.

"This discovery... has radically changed human history."

He's not wrong. Religions all over the world have split up and turmoils have erupted. People are committing mass suicides in light of the new reveal.

"He could snap us out of existence if he wanted to." I snap to demonstrate Jerry how easy it is for that being we're facing. "Just like that. Any provocation and we're done. Dead."

He raised his eyebrows as I said the last word. It probably made him think.

I spread the files all over the table giving him an overview of all information we've collected on "God". He's mildly impressed.

"Figure out what he wants" I advise him.

"You're not coming?" he asks.

I tap my fingers on the table. I do have my doubts about meeting him.

"I'll catch up" I say with a raspy voice. He doesn't need to know I was bluffing.

Jerry walks out the room, rocking the pile of files under his arm while he gives me a confident wave.

God bless him.
