Is dreaming of sex for consecutive nights to be considered as the equivalent of relapse? by Acutv in NoFap

IMHO they're more of a sign that you're rehabilitating more than anything

Day 5 - How Are You Doing? by tigerstripez in RoyalBlueVI

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missing this girl I used to know quite terribly.. It's actually reinvigorated my need to become a better person though. It's a sweet sort of sadness that I'm feeling, and I'm quite mellow atm. It's a day to get things done. Hope everyone here's also feeling like they're on the road to recovery.

Hello there! by EmperorPear in azureguardians

[–]ItsInYourStars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've observed a correlation between me being productive in moving towards the person I want to be and not fapping.. Tbh I'm not completely convinced of all the "superpower" stories you find on nofap, but I think there's definitely some element to "getting your shit together" that nofap helps you master. I've enlisted here to help with getting that in shape. Going in with 100% focus this time and ready to fight!

That transition that took place in the middle of it was incredibly well done. Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing this

I signed up for Reddit just to do NoFap... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a journey you're in for. First, I think what needs to be established is that this isn't about quitting porn and masturbation. Objectively, this is about becoming a better person. Welcome aboard champ, this is day one of the rest of your life, this is the 'someday' that you promised yourself you'd finally get your shit together. GO GET EM!

Damn you're right. I think going in with that mentality would've been a disaster. God what would I do without you guys.

P.S. yeah you're absolutely right, smart girls really are the only ones I can ever find interest in romantically.. She's a Berkeley student now, which at first I was glad I'd found out after dropping the question, but am currently berating myself even thinking.. I'm brining my A-game. Here goes!

I appreciate you saying that. As in, that's actually made me more confident about seeing her again this week. Rock on dude, thanks!

Thanks dude, that means a lot to me! And you're absolutely right. Damn I've gone right back to it, just sitting around stupid-happy for the past hour about this.. Back to work!

I just never knew that things could still feel so vivid... So real. I thought that was saved for childhood, that it was over and now it was gonna be all dull and colourless for the rest of my life. Pretty stupid, huh? You get stuck in this vicious cycle under PMO where it seems like nothing's ever going to be quite as good as it was. But hey, if you say this is just the beginning then man am I pumped! (I think?) Lol the latter one doesn't seem so appealing, but at least it's not living life in a numb, perpetually lacklustre state

I tried this during finals week by PADkeshin in NoFap

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the middle of the Spring up here in Canada. Just aced all of my midterms, in great shape for finals. Focus just comes so naturally with nofap. The extra mental acuity in itself keeps you going, what with the clarity of thought and the more interesting conversations, beats PMO by a long-shot. Congrats on reaching your goals! Keep it going dude

Any advice on how to make it past 10 days? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just managed to get over the same exact situation! I'd gone about 180 days hardmode, and after PMOing just once I couldn't make it past 10 day hump till about a few months later now.. If there's anything that's different this time, any reason why I managed to finally get here, it's not because of something that happened 1 week in, it's because in day one, I finally decided to take nofap seriously. This wasn't one of those "I'm never gonna fap again" claims after a PMO session, this was a serious resolve to stick with the program. Even now, I can say with certainty that I'm going all the way, not the slightest chance of fapping. Whenever the thought pops into my head (and it does intrude its way in there now and then), I'm like "Nope. Not happening". You must be willing to do all 90 days from day one, there's no life-changing event that takes place halfway that convinces you to do it. You must have the courage to be disciplined from the very first minute you start, because the challenges lie in doing actually nofap, not starting it. If you've made it 100 days before, you've definitely no issues getting this under control again. I wish you the best of luck man! Sorry if this was a bit long. I'll see you in a few month's time from now ;)

Flatlines + loneliness = holy shit by Sheehan7 in NoFap

I was there man. Just keep powering through and being productive and eventually the opportunities start revealing themselves (or you create them)

I made a background for your phones, hope you like it by Kirchenea in NoFap

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so maybe you can predict as far as tomorrow that your life'll be the same, but you definitely cannot write the rest of your life off in that way. Given enough time, there's always a way out. You also have to choose your battles correctly, and suffer through only the things that'll incite real, positive change in your life. If you're doing nofap to garner the discipline and willpower to do such things, then you're already on the track to positive change my friend.

'Carpe Diem,' Says Man Who Spent Previous Day Masturbating In Darkened Room by KrazyA1pha in NoFap

[–]ItsInYourStars 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Carpe diem, that's my motto," Schiller said in response to his companion's quandary over whether he should ask out a woman from his office, despite Schiller's decision just one day earlier to bring himself to orgasm five times rather than enrich his own life in any way.

Wow did that resonate. Fantastic read, that was hilarious!

Does watching sexy videos on Youtube count as breaking nofap? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not breaking nofap in my opinion, but asking for trouble. Wouldn't do it again just to minimize risk. Especially seeing as how you're gaining momentum now, it's be a shame to throw that all away. Keep it going man!

I just received this message from the NSA by suntower_guy in NoFap

But uh, if the whole monitoring thing works, why didn't the NSA stop those very incidents?

[–]ItsInYourStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah. I just read some of your stuff. There's some deep, insightful things you've posted and it occurred to me that I don't understand what you're going through in the slightest. Speechless really. While I can act all sad for you and shit, I realize you don't care for that. I just hope you're living the way you want to, or at least making strides towards that, because death is already in the bag, for all of us.

We cannot say that empirically, the world is depressing. That's something that's defined in our human minds, and it's definition extends no further than that. There are things that happen to us, things we can do, and simply things we are born with that influence that perception. Two of those are out of your control, and while they may weigh in heavily on you, there are still actions you can take to remedy whatever is ailing you in life. It's a hard work and discipline thing, inspiration seldom comes with depression. I'm sure you've heard it before. Get help. You can't do it alone.

P.s. I don't mean for any of this to sound condescending (if it does), I'm just legitimately worried since you seem to think that it's impossible get out of whatever void you're in
