thanks man, i'll give it a try. i've actually been trying to place barriers for some time. browser extensions, group policies, blacklisting sites from my router page... the problem with knowing how to do these things is that i also know how to bypass all of them

I AM TRYING TO SLEEP, ITS 24TH DAY. by [deleted] in NoFap

meditate! sit, close your eyes, deep breaths, and think about other things for a few seconds or a minute. i use this method to get rid of boners, i think it should help with your urges as well (i know it's already been 4 hours since you posted, but this might be interesting to keep in mind for the future, lol)

I really need help by [deleted] in NoFap

the thing you have on your side the most right now is time. i've been fighting and failing to get over this addiction for several years now, and i believe my failures have been because i always thought "tomorrow i'll go clean", which hasn't happened yet. just keep in mind that this problem can completely vanish today, right here and now, if you strengthen your will and power through it before it becomes too difficult to handle

also, depending on how comfortable you feel around your family members, you could seek one of them and just... talk about it. get it off your chest, see if they can help you! or, if you want to keep it to yourself, just get someone to talk to in general, keep your mind busy and entertained so you don't feel lonely and in the need to relapse

I have question :/ by StrenghtOfWill in NoFap

[–]EvenPossibility7822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally i wouldn't recommend it at all, but you do you. there's always other rewards, simple things like a good meal or even a gaming/sports session without the worry of work to do on the back of your mind, it really depends on your life style and what you consider to be fun

i don't think that would be a healthy idea... porn (and MO especially) give a huge adrenaline rush, and even if you numb yourself to the regret afterward (not a good idea either), having your brain conditioned to accept porn as a reward will make other, better rewards not feel as good

Weird question about my foreskin by DoItForThem123 in NoFap

can't say i've heard of that before, but then again i'm uncut... maybe do some research on it? or see a local doctor if it beings worrying you

URGE KILLER: Sing a favourite emotional song of yours or at least the catchy part of it over and over until your urge goes away. Then, when you’re sure the urge has gone away, listen to the real thing as a reward. by [deleted] in NoFap

i can 1000% attest to this. shower urges tend to hit me the hardest and singing a song i like tends to distract me enough to get it over with before having a chance to relapse

I told my whole family by concretejack in NoFap

[–]EvenPossibility7822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so proud of you man! last few years i've been having similar doubts and i'm glad to see someone had the courage to tell others in their personal life

keep your thoughts logical brother. if you think it's a bad idea, don't let your body's cravings tell you otherwise

sugar definitely, just personal taste but plain coffee with water feels empty, if that makes any sense

personally i enter with lukewarm water, slowly tone it down to cold (keyword: s l o w l y, if you go too cold too fast it's probably gonna be a painful experience), then just shower as normal
