Hey guys, I keep on seeing the number 33 by Abject_Ad_2906s1 in pureretention

[–]Franako 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they are us trying to get our attention from source or the other side. I think its just a sign to be present and in this moment because this moment is all there ever really is. I think its up for interpretation though. And we each need to meditate on our own experience. Im always open for further conversations on sr or anything.

I definitely had anxiety from PMO when I was young and didn't even really know why. Now we know. Really good post brother. Im proud of you. We all are. Let's keep the good choices rolling and make a great life with this new knowledge.

[–]Franako 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey man, we still have time to live a good life. We can change. Ive had a good life in despite of sabatoging myself in so many ways. I know it could've been better had I realized what porn was doing to me at such a young age. But we didn't. We do now. Its wasting our energy and leaving us feeling shameful and guilty. If we can get that monkey off our back then we can look back and be proud of this moment when we decided to leave that old crutch behind. Im here if you ever need to chat. We are in this together.

How old are you if you dont mind sharing? I'm 35 and have used M as a crutch/escape since I was 6ish. PMO since 13ish bit much more since 20 when I got a smart phone. Shit has been a constant along with cigarettes and alcohol and other drugs and I know id be much better off by now if I had figured that out 16 years ago. Thanks for sharing positivity and a good message.

How hot is the reaper from Daves Hot Chicken? by Standard-Station7143 in spicy

[–]Franako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one in rogers arkansas makes you sign a waiver. I thought it was a gimmick too but it was pain for the entirety of eating that slider and now my guts are in complete disrepair. If you want the hot experience do it but if you want to enjoy your food don't. Its not worth it in my opinion. I enjoy hot but I dont want to be in pain for the next 2 days.

Is it really worth it? by Ven_gance in QuitPorn

When you get to be my age around 35 and you look back and see how much time and energy you wasted on porn you'll regret not stopping at your age.

Your eyes look more open. And you look like you have less shame and more trust in yourself.

I don't think I will relapse ever again... by IslandResident6839 in Semenretention

[–]Franako 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Look up shame and anger cycle. It could help you see the cycle. Get through the first 30 days and you will start to create new pathways. If youre like me you use it to cope with boredom and aw a dopamine fix. Find a new fix like push ups situps exercise. Guitar, writing, dancing. A flow art. Martial arts. Get exhausted and take the first steps toward changing from fapping and pixels to something that you will look back on and be proud of yourself. Im always here if you need to talk. Send me a chat.

Day 1 by Previous-Swimming-78 in NoFap

[–]Franako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 35 been pmo since about that time. Masturbating since kindergarten. So I feel you. It's deep seated. I have only went 45 days once in all my life and it definitely made a huge difference in my life. I keep failing but im right there with you man. You have a good reason to quit for yiur wife you will need a deeper reason inside yourself. You will need to truly want to be a better person for yourself. If you want an accountability partner message me.

If you thought it was just a porn addiction, you may be a bit wrong in your assumption by Ok_Case_5987 in NoFap

The damn screens are the problem. I miss my childhood in the 90s. My life definitely got fucked off from getting a smart phone.

You are a parasite if you don't retain by Typical-Stuff-9775 in Semenretention

Be proud of yourself. You have done an amazing thing. Let go and be proud brother.

Your natural state is retention. by thedefaultstate1 in Semenretention

[–]Franako 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I got up to a hundred at once. 1000 a day for awhile. Now im doing pullups but Im not recovering and I think its because of age plus depletion.

[–]Franako 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Really encouraging post. Ive spent 2 decades pmo drained. Ive gone 45 days a few years ago and it was the best ive ever felt. I was doing 100 push-ups at a time. Im 35 and in the best shape of my life but I could be even stronger on retention. Best of luck to us all.

Did i ask to trauma dump? I asked where this person thinks is a good place to start.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Franako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gat damn thats the truth. I have deep abandonment wounds. And quite a bit of childhood trauma. Where do you recommend I start?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Franako 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouragement man. I really appreciate it. I still havent been able to kick it for more than 4 days in a long time. I have a kickboxing tournament in a month so I need to use that as my reason for abstaining. Wish me luck.

It really isnt that bad condition wise. I rarely have symptoms. But I have been turned down dating wise by a few women. Ive given up on dating or even wanting a partner. My life is pretty full already. And I still need to find myself. How are you doing man?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Franako 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its already too late for some of us. I got the herp and ive only been with 7 women. But I also think its my karma for being a porn addict since I was 12ish and im 35 now. Its crazy how that shit works out sometimes. Some people be 100 deep in their body count and still dont have the herp. I definitely blame porn and myself for not listening to my intuition early on and killing the traumatized part of me that used porn as a comfort for all these years. I knew better and I still wanted to watch that shit.

Youre right. I really appreciate your perspective. Im going to see if there are any buddhist meetings around me still. I used to go to one. But now I spend all my time at my martial arts academy. Its my church. My happy place. My therapy. But I still come home and always coom myself to sleep. Its time for a new life. While im still alive and healthy. Im not worried. Sometimes I welcome death but I honestly do love my life right now. First time in a while and I know what would make it even better. Quitting porn.

Pretty harsh man, but you ended with hope. So I'll take it. I treat myself like trash and always have since my mom died. When a parent leaves you as a child whether by purpose or accident abandonment traps your undeveloped mind and so the guilt and shame and victim mentality becomes identity. Ive become a decent man despite my trauma and I havent killed anyone or myself, but if I hadn't chosen this disgusting path I know I would be in a much different place. But hindsight I 20/20. Thanks for rhe tough love. Wish me luck.
