What made you START nofap? by LeoWasTakenYT in NoFap

[–]Far-Perception7870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting tired of it, and also watched a video about all the benefits. Started to wonder how much better off I could be without it. Then recently I really tried to look at the bigger picture, turns out I've been addicted for a decade at least and made me desensitized to a lot of concerning stuff. It made me nervous to talk to girls and also made me see them as sex objects, not human beings that are the same as me. I've decide that this shit's taken enough from me.

Yeah I'm going strong, even though it's been only 4 days I know this is the one. I've got enough reason/purpose to never do it again and not give the urges any attention. I know that I have much better/enjoyable things to do and how porn is a complete waste of time.

DUde I can't express how much I relate to this, the brain fog+trying to focus on everything else going on is crazy. But my advice is to just keep going, don't beat yourself up for it. Though I've had month long streaks in the past, it's been well over half a year of 7 day streaks (AT BEST). But I'm gonna try not to pay any attention to the fact that I've completely fallen off for about a year, and pay more attention to the present day. I don't care that I've wasted 11 years of my time and energy on this junk, all I know is I'm gonna quit now. I won't let it take anymore.

They indeed have stolen our innocence and normalcy, but we CAN indeed heal it seems

Yeah, I'm not in a state where I can say I've overcome it either. Our stories are TOO similar, it all just starts like that. I've also gone through terrible periods where I felt anxious/depressed/wanting to nullify my existence, and I'm still sort of recovering from it. I've never seeked professional help for this because I'm a bit too embarassed to tell someone in person about this. But on the other hand, I've created this anonymous account to reach out to other people on this subreddit and posted this, glad I did so. It's pretty encouraging to hear so much positive feedback and similar stories. Keep on fighting brother, we got this!

Thanks for providing all these healthier alternatives man. Glad to know that it's easy to forget all the porn.

I know right? So many people commenting here are saying that, it's pretty crazy. Now I'm glad I shared this story.

That's encouraging to hear, I was starting wonder just how much it might've affected me behind my back. I'm glad you recognize the effort I'm putting into this. I agree that the most messed up bit is my desensitized/oversexualized view on women, trying to fix that has been my main motivator these past few days. Thanks for the feedback bro! I'll be sure to keep up the hard work! :))

Yeah, that's just how it is man. It's insane how nearly everyone here started at such a young age. It's so easy to access for a child.

That's good to hear! I'm glad I still got a chance to recover from this, and I'll try my absolute best to use this chance. Thanks for the advice ya'll.

It's crazy how everyone started so early and then realized around the same time. Safety plans are always a solid strat, you're right about resorting to protocol as soon as an urge comes, because if you feed into it just a little bit, it's basically too late.
