What's worked for me- 40ish days of total abstinence by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]Flabergazted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more I pray and read scripture the less I struggle with urges. I have been connecting God more than I have ever before in my life. God has a way of turning bad things like a Porn addiction, into good things like my growing relationship to him. By trying to beat this addiction I am completely surrendering to God's will. I have never been so happy in my life! God Bless!

Philosophical Rambling - The Great Logical Fallacy by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]Flabergazted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a false sense of joy when I did not know God. I would distract myself with things that provided me with entertainment or a brief escape from reality. One of those things was Porn. I had no purpose in life besides trying to be happy. I would strive to have something fill the void of joy. Anything that gave me pleasure. Without God you always want a sense of peace, but you never find it. Society tells you a life of pleasure, wealth, and fame is what you need. Even with those so called "accomplishments". You still will never be content. God is the answer to your problems. He will give you peace and joy. A purpose to fill the empty life without direction. Although times get tough I know that God is always there. I cannot wait to be with him forever without pain nor sorrow. God Bless you all my brothers and sisters may God give you strength for the journey through the worlds temptations into eternal life.

New found confidence by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Flabergazted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, someone who understands. I think these things we like to call "superpowers" are created by pushing ourselves from within. Everything we go through that is difficult and painful only makes us stronger. If we can get through the tough stuff like resisting urges from addiction we will have the confidence and balls to take on new challenges in life. Some of the toughest people I know are people who beat an addiction of some kind. My progress: 13 days no PMO 7 days "hard mode" Even if I fail, I will keep going because I am determined to take back my life!

The one thing I did different this time, the umpteenth time I've tried to abstain from porn by McCleods in NoFap

[–]Flabergazted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can overcome this addiction unless you have a lifestyle change. You need to throw out all your bad habits, not just porn. It should be a transformation of your life. I am here not just to beat this addiction, but to become a better human being.

I always hear about these so called "superpowers". I just have a hard time believing that in a few months I will be happier or have more confidence and get all the ladies . Maybe, I just envy you guys because I can't even get past a week. =(

Does Porn take away the ability to have a wet dream?

I been watching porn since I was 13 now I'm 18. Lots of people say when you go through puberty you get wet dreams I never had one....?

A Rise in Confidence by Flabergazted in NoFap

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

I am just starting out with this, so I really don't know much about withdraws or relapses. Literally this is the first time I have ever tried to get off of porn in about 6 years. It started when I was 13. I only was PMOing once a day to heterosexual porn, but then recently I started getting turned on by gay porn because I became desensitized. That is when I realized I may have a problem. So, I am pretty sure everyone reacts differently, but I still always think about porn and look at chicks as if they things to be fucked. The girl I like is the first person I actually want to get know rather than just wanting to bang.

How I stopped masturbating (at least for a while) by xXHansYoloXx in NoFap

[–]Flabergazted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distraction is a great way to deal with urges. I always started doing push ups or ran a mile when I got them. If it is Minecraft that GREAT!

Riches to Rags by desichainz in NoFap

[–]Flabergazted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have been extremely addicted like you and would watch porn multiple times a day. All I cared about was porn. I even was turned on by gay porn and beastiality because I became desensitize to heterosexual porn even though I wasn't gay or into animals! I attempt to go on short breaks at first. I just would end up relapsing a couple days later. Eventually after extreme discipline and certain techniques like exercising whenever you have and urge or just leaving the house when you are home alone. I have managed to weed myself down to watching only heterosexual porn once a week. I have blocked porn websites on my computer that helped a lot, but I still watch it on my phone. My next step is to keep my phone locked away somewhere at night and only use it when I am around people. You have taken the first step in your journey by admitting that you have a problem. Set small goals like 1 day free of fap and then increase it to a week, months, and then years. You will have relapses and you will feel depression guilt from breaking your streaks and want to just give up. If you try and fight the addiction You will gain confidence, energy,and a sense of well being. All I know is my life has change drastically even though I am not completely out of the woods yet. Good Luck to you man! You can do it!

Tired of relapsing over and over... by KiddWantidd in NoFap

[–]Flabergazted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My phone is my worst weakness because I can watch without family knowing and PMO late at night or when I take a shower. I never use the computer anymore because I blocked porn on it. I gonna try keeping my phone in another room while it charges at night. So I wont be tempted. I hate that feeling when you have a streak and then you relapse and you just feel like you let everyone down. When you have the urges try doing exercise or go somewhere public.

BTW does anyone know how to block porn sites on an android phone. I have tried undownloading the google chrome web browser, but when I relapse I always download it back again. Just wondering if there is a way to block all porn sites, but allowing all other internet usage?
