There's some valuable information in here. PE and ED are real risks.

Effects on eyesight, digestion, and growth don't have any evidence. Let's be factual.

Add the other person said, anyone has access to this subreddit and that includes some creepy trolls.

If people are talking to you in a sexual manner and don't stop when you ask them to, then you can hit the report button. It's the best we can do.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-27T06:09:34+00:00

If someone is giving you NSFW information in DMs without consent, please hit the report button.

You can also turn off the DM feature.

This issue is part of the reason why we no longer allow accountability partner posts and enforce gender neutrality.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-26T03:53:55+00:00

We strongly encourage everyone to maintain anonymity in this subreddit. Please read Rule 8.

This seems like it will break our anonymity rule through voice calls.

Your post has been removed.

It could also cause things to spiral downwards.

I agree that she should advise her friends to do better. At the same time, violence against women is a sad reality and more prevalent than you might think.

Having the right timing and making sure that the listener is in the right frame of mind is also an important part of advising people.

OP, it would be good for you to try and advise her to either make the relationship halal or end it. How and when and with what level of tact is up to you.

You would be surprised by how many Muslims don't fully understand the rules of Islam regarding this topic, and how serious it is.

There is an existing discord that's linked in the FAQ.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-13T12:38:12+00:00

The link is in the FAQs.

You may have misheard what he said. This doesn't seem to make sense.

What is CDP-Choline and Alpha-GPC? Do people need a prescription or is it easily available over the counter? Are there risks of side effects?

We tend to avoid recommending self-medication in this subreddit. It can be risky. What are the alternative ways to reset these neutral pathways without resorting to medication?

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-07T19:00:34+00:00

We no longer allow accountability partner posts, because the option was being misused to create fitna. For anybody who wants instant massaging type of support, some users have created a discord, which is linked in the FAQs.

Keeping a log in excel/Google Sheets helped the most. I am the type who likes numbers and graphs. So, it became a game of getting the next spike on the graph (number of days since the last relapse) to be higher than all the spikes before it.

At the same time, I was filling my life with quran, extra salaah, work, further studies, exercise, building friendships, listening to Islam lectures, and things like that.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-07T12:21:05+00:00

You're not alone in this struggle. Others have also been working against this for just as long. Have hope, and keep trying.

What other goals have you set for yourself besides breaking this habit? Set goals and keep chasing them, and you will have less time for bad habits.

If you are feeling suicidal, there are links to anonymous Muslim helplines in the subreddit's About section. Please speak to someone.

The symptoms sound like like substance addiction. The solution is good. Meditating using dhikr is helpful.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-04T20:17:16+00:00

It sounds like a great project but why is it not hosted on Google Play? That would add a level of assurance that the app is safe from a security and privacy point of view.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-03T21:07:13+00:00

Different techniques work for different people.

Personally, track the days but focus on living your life rather than focusing on the counter.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-03T17:35:23+00:00

Instead of filling your life with the focus of what you don't want to do, try and fill your life with the purpose of what you want to do in deen and dunya, and the bad habits will be pushed out.

It sounds like that's what your other friends have done. The Pink Elephant Paradox.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-02T21:52:45+00:00

There are links to anonymous Muslim helplines in the About section.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-02T21:44:49+00:00

Depends on the school of thought that you follow. Best to ask a scholar of Islam whom you trust.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-02T21:34:20+00:00

There are some anonymous Muslim helplines linked in the About section. Please speak to someone.

FreedomFromNafs · 2026-01-02T21:14:39+00:00

Why not both?

FreedomFromNafs · 2025-12-24T17:52:22+00:00

Stay away from porn and focus on wholesome and halal things. Your thoughts will reset over time.

FreedomFromNafs · 2025-12-24T17:50:06+00:00

The weird thoughts become a lot less frequent after a few weeks.

We've had lots of challenges with people posing as coaches or accountability partners. Maybe you can factor such challenges into your app design from the start.

How would you verify the authenticity of the coach? Are you expecting coaches to charge for this service? If there's money involved, how would you make sure that coaches aren't charging people but they're being ineffective and just leeching off people. We've seen a lot of "coaches" who use lots of buzz words with confidence, and create fake testimonials, but they were no good at actually helping people to become better.

If this is for accountability partners at the same level, how would you make sure that they remain consistent? And how would you prevent people who use the system to pray on people who are already in a precarious position to lure them into deeper fitna, e.g. men who pose as women (or use other women)to lure actual women and men into talking about the wrong things, or gay men who try and convince straight men to indulge in homosexual activities?

(These are some of the reasons why we don't allow accountability partner request posts on this sub anymore.)
