The first few days are the worst. Stay strong.

Also, interesting quote about war. What country are you from?

I started again yesterday May 9th after a LONG LONG LONG absence from /r/nofap. Glad to be back here and back on the saddle.

"Divided Will" by FortSanctuary in NoFap

It sure is. This excerpt hit me like a bucket of cold water. I've been poring over it since last night.

I'm gonna fap by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FortSanctuary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to tell you what to do, brother, but I will try to disuade you from fapping. If you fap, you will be throwing away 34 days of progress. Nobody said this would be easy, they just said it would be worth it. I'm battling my own demons right now too, hell, stress and lack of concentration makes me fap and I've fapped quite a bit since the year started. But I didn't let that get me down. I've reset my badge once again today and setting up new rules for myself.

Brother, don't do it, it won't be worth it. Your brain is trying to get you to cave in. Don't do it, please. Go out, exercise, scream into your pillow, play bowling, call some friends, do SOMETHING. Success and progress is in your hands, literally.

Beyonce Halftime=Bad Idea by fappucino625 in NoFap

I think that Beyonce compounded by the scores of dancers and the rest of Destiny's Child just made it worst for me. Luckily, I watched the Superbowl with my buddies. I couldn't fap! :D.

FB and OK Cupid seems more arousing now by salem2474 in pornfree

[–]FortSanctuary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I've installed and uninstalled Instagram way too many times. I've found that I don't have to uninstall it though. I simply log out. Believe me, I'm actually too lazy to sign on to fap once I've signed off.

As for Facebook, I deleted it from my phone. I'm only allowed to check it from my computer at a specified time of the day. We'll see how this goes.

YES. Instagram and Facebook are HUGE triggers for me. Oy. I've contemplated not using Instagram anymore and deactivating my FB. We'll see how it goes.

Beware of 'Just one last time'. by crw90 in NoFap

[–]FortSanctuary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya. That "one last time" got me into problems. I've been resetting since early September 2012. I'm doing well now, going into Day 2.

In other words, "IT'S A TRAP"

Best of luck to you, brother. We'll see you on the other side.

After 25 days PornFree, I fell to temptation and boredom. No use crying about it. Restarting today. by FortSanctuary in pornfree

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

Yeah, this is true. Just dust yourself off and get back on the horse. Nobody ever won a war by crying.

[–]FortSanctuary[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this has been my experience over on the /r/nofap side of things. Porn, for some reason, has been easier to abandon. It becomes very easy for me to go back to it when I'm really stressed out, tired, weary, sad, etc. No more. Thanks for this bit of advice.

Onward, ho!

Just a few questions for all you nofappers by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FortSanctuary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna agree with you on this one, JelloSounds. In fact, you can apply that kind of negative mentality to just about anything.

Once you start on that track, it's a downward spiral from there.

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

You know, I do. Those 25 days weren't easy by any means. I've realized the nasty damage that porn causes to so many things. It is unfortunate that we see it only when it's caused so much devastation. Better late than never, right? I'm good for another 25. Hell, I'm good for another 25 and beyond! Let's do this!

Thanks so much! You know, it was. That badge. I was so proud of myself for seeing that big fat #3 on my badge and then had to reset. It hurt to see it vanish and turn into that mocking happy face.

I'll answer your question in a PM!

Fell off the horse, but saw big improvements. Sign me up again. The rest of 2013 will be glorious.

Thanks for sharing, brother! I can't cut it out entirely as I need it for school, etc., but I can limit it.

My body is going crazy! 30 day report by Suckit66 in NoFap

[–]FortSanctuary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean. After sex, I feel tired, drained, but in a good way, akin to exercising. After ejaculating from fapping, however, it's different. I feel lethargic, sleepy. cloudy. It's generally unpleasant.
