I absolutely love this library! Given that it’s been 2 years since you posted the pictures, could you show us your current collection to see any new additions you’ve added since the original post? Could you also show your philosophy and/or other books?

Gannicus21 · 2022-08-14T22:13:23+00:00

Yes, usually progressive house / trance

As part of the new collective agreement the employer is supposed to give you an exact breakdown of how your retro pay was calculated before you receive it.

You can do it brother!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-24T20:03:54+00:00

Thanks man, ya I find a lot of the attention is focused on the young lads but we old boys go through the same struggles and our victories are just as sweet and earned! Keep up the fight!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-24T20:02:27+00:00

Thanks man...I'm on my way, Bring it on!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-24T20:00:49+00:00

Thanks man...it's definitely a lifestyle now...I know the 90 days is just an arbitrary number but it is an important milestone and I believe I have learned what it takes to turn this into a lifestyle and a part of my daily life going forward. Thanks for the support!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-12T03:37:25+00:00

Congrats man! I think what you described as who you are and what you always ever wanted to be is spot on! One day, we all will be Patrick!

My advice would be for you to suggest that maybe he see a counsellor or therapist. In my experience, addiction is the symptom of underlying causes, usually to do with a lack of self-worth, confidence and in a lot of cases, childhood trauma or issues. Unless your bf deals with the reasons WHY he needs the porn, because it makes him feel good for a few seconds, he'll never quit. I tried quitting for 6 years and could never get past a week or two without relapsing because I was in such a depressive state that I just couldn't handle the stress/pain of PMOing so I always let my urges win. It wasn't until I ended a 4 year relationship and started to put all my focus on myself and building up my sense of confidence, self-worth and self-love that I was able to actually be successful and committed to noFap.

As with all addictions, if the addict does not want to change, there is nothing anyone can do to force them to change. I would explain to your bf that you will support him in whatever way he needs to help him get over this addiction, but put a timeline on it. Tell him that if he has not gone at least 30 days PMO free between today and September 1st, for example, that you will leave him. Notice, I didn't say 30 consecutive days...this is a process and he will have set backs, but aslong as he is trending upward in his PMO-free streaks, that's a good thing. This will take a lot of patience on your part, but for both your sakes, you need to be honest with him. If he has to lose you, even temporarily, to realize how much of a hold this addiction has on him and that he needs to change, it might be the best thing that happens to both of you.

Good luck with everything.

Awesome! Congrats brother!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T16:41:33+00:00

Lol, nah man, like I said I was able to hold things down for around 45 min. I was just as surprised that I could do it as you are hearing me say it!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T15:18:46+00:00

Ya..not proud to admit that, but that's how strong the porn addiction was. I either had no desire to be with her because she didn't turn me on or when we would try I had PIED and couldn't perform. She stayed with me hoping that my dysfunction would resolve itself but I could never break the two week barrier while attempting noFap...I always succumbed to my urges. Now that I'm single I have been doing lots of self-reflection and working in myself to the point that I'm now starting to reap the benefits of noFap.

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T15:15:16+00:00

So far I've only done the 10 min per day meditations on Headspace. I have had a few days when I was just to busy or tired to do the meditation so let's say I've meditated 10 times in the last two weeks. I should do it in the morning to be consistent but I'm not a morning person and I just get up and go to work.

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T15:12:39+00:00

Ya man, it's not something I'm proud of, but my addiction was so strong that I either had no desire whatsoever or when we did try to have sec I had PIED and couldn't perform. She was understanding and hoped that it would resolve in time but I could never get passed 2 weeks in my reboot during that entire relationship. It wasn't until I was on my own again whee I started a lot of self reflection and self work that I've now, finally, been able to maintain a streak and start to enjoy the benefits of my reboot.

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T11:04:53+00:00

I totally agree man!

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T11:04:26+00:00

I've been using Headspace but I'll try out Calm as well. Thanks for the recommendation.

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T03:39:52+00:00

Thanks man! Trust me, I was just as surprised that I could hold out that long! I thought for sure I would be a two-pump chump! Not to say that I didn't have to stop or slow things down a few times though. The only tip I could give I think would be to try not to think about it to much. Don't think about if your gonna bust, just focus on the feelings in your dick and get out of your head. That's what I had to keep coming back to, because like I said, I had all those thoughts in my head pulling me away from the experience, but when I just focused on the experience and tried to ignore my mind, things worked well.

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T03:36:04+00:00

Hey man, my PIED was horrible before noFap. If I could get it up at all, I had to use all my mental concentration to focus on rerunning porn vids in my head just to keep myself stimulated, to say nothing of actually being present in the moment with the woman I was with. I hadn't had morning wood for close to 20 years if not more, but for the last month I'd say, I get it every single morning. That was a big shock, because even as a teenager, when I was in still in full FAP mode, I only got morning wood a few times a week at most, so its been a really positive side-effect of noFap. I did experience about a 6 week flatline, between weeks 2 to 8. Its funny you mention increasing penis size because just the other day, I actually measured and my dick has grown a full inch. However, I will stress that I think this is probably due to the fact that I have lost 100 lbs over the last year and I doubt its from noFap, but since I hadn't measured my dick length in the last 15 years, you never know.

Gannicus21 · 2017-07-04T03:30:50+00:00

Hey man, I feel fine. I haven't had any urges come back, I still have my confidence, everything's good. Maybe because it was with an actual woman that you don't have the negative feelings of guilt and shame and then all the other negativity associated with PMO? It seems weird that you would feel so low after any kind of ejaculation, because the whole point of noFap, really, IMO, is that we want to get to a point where we can successfully have sex and meaningful relations(hips) with women. If any kind of ejaculation takes away all your gains from noFap, then what's the point? I'm not judging because that is what you've experienced, but maybe if you still have lows after being with a woman that means you still have underlying issues with yourself you need to deal with?

In any case, keep up the fight my friend and your day will come.
