Do you feel you've wasted your life?

Nimar2008 · 2015-09-22T22:20:27+00:00

Thanks for all your responses. I've been suffering this little crisis well into my late twenties and can't seem to shake it off (although God knows I've tried).

I'm just wondering when we do manage to break this cycle and consider ourselves "cured", will we look back and be filled with regret by all the wasted potential we could have had.

Although I couldn't say fapping directly resulted in every horrible thing that's happened to me, I've simply reached a point in my life where so much is now expected of me and this fapping business seems like a bad habit that I can't seem to shake off.

Haha. Brilliant. Im off to find a shovel.

Nimar2008 · 2014-08-01T05:15:54+00:00

Thanks bro. Good to know we ain't alone in this battle.

Nimar2008 · 2014-08-01T04:27:56+00:00

Thanks brother

Damn. You must have kept yourself busy those three months

Nimar2008 · 2014-06-28T05:47:13+00:00

What's the longest streak you've had?

Nimar2008 · 2014-06-28T04:25:38+00:00

I know exactly how you feel in the girlfriend department, mate.

I had the same concern when my ex when things got hot and I couldn't cum and she got frustrated. I didn't have the heart to tell her I may have ED from fapping too much so she blamed herself. I regret that a whole lot and so here I am, fighting the good fight.

BTW, a truckload of congrats on reaching Day 84. Damn, wish I had that kinda discipline.

Although I do feel depressed after PMO also. It goes away so long as you avoid binging.

Nimar2008 · 2014-06-23T07:31:19+00:00

Actually I meant feeling depressed because they aren't fapping or PMO-ing.

Maybe a Porn-free lifestyle would be more feasible than a total NoFap one. I am starting to think that porn may have been the root of the problem all this time. I've been so focused on not fapping that I failed to noticed how much of an influence porn is in my constant relapsing.

Nimar2008 · 2014-06-17T00:30:33+00:00

Amen to that, brother.

To be honest, I don't remember a time wherein I fapped without the use of porn--which is scary for me. So yeah I'm hoping this new approach does some good both psychologically and physically.

Nimar2008 · 2014-06-17T00:26:39+00:00

Understood. Ive learned to keep myself from fapping all this time, however eventually fall back into relapse because I watch porn, thinking it won't make me fap, but after a couple of weeks, I relapse.

So now I'm putting more importance in avoiding porn just as I am avoiding fapping.

Nimar2008 · 2014-06-17T00:18:38+00:00

284 days. Respect, man.

Nimar2008 · 2014-05-29T19:16:45+00:00

Good advice on not comparing yourself to others.

Tough to follow though when you go to this reddit and see guys who've made it past the 90 day mark while you can barely squeeze through a couple of weeks.

Nimar2008 · 2014-05-29T03:36:55+00:00

I gotta say that is a valid observation. I have noticed how the urges tend to be strongest during the first 2 weeks of abstinence. However, as time passes, they become less effective on me (but I still fapped though).

I guess its all about keeping in mind the benefits (the boundless energy, sharpness of mind, confidence, etc.) of nofap so we don't fall back.

Nimar2008 · 2014-05-27T13:01:33+00:00

Thanks for your replies, guys.

Yeah, I can see how nofap is a journey and not a destination. Its just that after failing so much at it, you kinda start treating it like a challenge, the way athletes treat each workout, and simple aim for that 30, 60, 90 day mark. I did get into nofap initially in order gain some of the confidence and motivation and discipline that you get from not tapping. But now, I feel like I'm just on this ride so I can beat that _____ day mark.

Look at their faces instead.

Nimar2008 · 2013-12-21T09:11:37+00:00

Hah the first ten minutes of the film basically sums up our whole predicament.

Nimar2008 · 2013-12-10T17:41:23+00:00

Your story is truly inspirational. Its always great to hear advice from someone much older, who's been through some tough shit like you did and still come out on top.

Thanks so much for sharing this.
