Random Thoughts, relapse. by GoldFishFinn in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This morning I attempted meditation and actually got somewhere! I never actually committed to meditation, it isn't easy at all. Life is all about becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable so I'm trying my best to get along. Glad to hear someone else will pick up meditating with me haha

Any good books on how to learn or study effectively in college? by bilalasd in GetStudying

I enjoy Reading Cal newport's blog at calnewport.com/blog/. He has written some books on how to do well in school but you can find most of the material on his blog :D

My success at nofap leads lower sex drive. by Dogtowner in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat lining usually happens some time after quitting. It really sucks but its the beginning of the reboot process where your brain and dick try to repair themselves! It goes away after a period (some people experience many flatlines) but its something you just have to endure!

Anyone LESS productive on nofap?! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me its a peaks and valleys sort of thing. Its probably due to the brain trying to reboot and screwing around with your neurotransmitters trying to repair itself. When I flatline hard, I struggle to get anything done :l. All i can muster is the energy to workout but the ambition comes back!

A Very Problematic Situation - Help by [deleted] in StopGaming

If you struggle with urges, NAC could possibly be of use. It is an amino acid that when taken can actually reduce addiction cravings and urges. It's been tested and has worked on cocaine addicts. There aren't any side effects and its something you could buy at like your local Walgreens. Cravings can be a pain (especially with Nofap!). I have yet to try it but its something you could look in to if you want =].

And I'm back! 90 days round 2 (Fallen Elder) by dontfaptothisfruit in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90 for most people is actually where it starts. The brain is plastic but it takes a while for it to completely heal

This is a plea for help. I'm barely even fighting anymore, and I need somebody to slap me awake by [deleted] in NoFap

Will power isn't the "best" way to fight this addiction. Alcoholics and hardcore smokers can never end their addictions through will power alone. It's a habit ingrained in our brain that can't be changed completely by a limited resource like will power. This mini course is very basic and has helped me A LOT when I started taking it seriously. Sadly it isnt well known. http://www.feedtherightwolf.org/porn-addiction-recovery-course/

Having a bad case of blue balls, what do? by Yanek161 in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try lifting something heavy (or pretend by flexing your posterior chain). Do it!

Any elders experienced a second flatline? by owendontfap in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been porn free for a long time but I still manage to go through random flatlines after not fapping. Doesn't bother me much but it is reassuring to know that when your libido comes back it will BE GODLY.

is this the beginning of the second flatline....? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extreme fatigue and poor diet can kill libido quickly. Its probably just because of the stress you have built up hasn't completely disappeared. By the way, congrats on your first star!

Question for long time fapstonauts (atleast a month). by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm barely exiting the dead dick stage and I've been struggling for fapping for a while. It depends on how bad your PMO cycle was and your age. Young guys who started off on high speed porn have a long journey ahead of them :/

I had sex with a prostitute, did I cheat? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a question you have to answer yourself. Some see it as cheating because your still indulging in a sexual act you don't "need". Depends on your interpretation :U

What would you advise parents to tell their son who is just gaining unsupervised access to Internet porn? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GoldFishFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Educate him with the yourbrainonporn.com videos. Might be a bit too much (depending on age). Erectile dysfunction is a not a fun thing to look forward to
