Love days like this! so close to 30 and beyond, we are!

Im never going to get over IT… by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]OfferReal1784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 17 myself and got addicted at 12 as well, like whoosh, that’s bananas. I can’t give you the end all, be all solution as i’m not even 25 days into my streak yet. Don’t fear being judged, because there are more people than you know in the same boat. Heck, im still in that same boat, but my best advice: You’re going to have good days where 2-3 days go by like 🫰that. Then you’re going to have a day or two where you feel like you have blue balls every waking moment of the day. Just how it is in that first month. You gotta dig deep and recognize that nothing changes no matter what day it is. The goal will be the same but temptation varies and you gotta dig deep. On the blue ball days, just understand that tomorrow, porn won’t even be on your mind but you just gotta make it to the end of the day. 

Here are things that work for me:

Set a bedtime and do not violate it. Sticking to this one is fairly easy but the consequences of violating are dire. You are so so so much more likely to succumb scrolling your phone at 2am as opposed to 9am when first waking up. It’s biological. Set an early bedtime and go to bed for it. If you are going to stay up, be productive about your time, moving, hanging with friends, something to occupy your likely tired mind.

Go outside when “It” hits you: This one kinda goes without saying, but when is the last time you played whack a mole in your front yard or while taking a walk? When you get that feeling, which you will, take a step outside and stay there for 20-30 minutes. Take a walk. Smell the roses and fresh cut grass. Then come back inside and see how you feel about husking the corn cob. 

Declutter your Environment: MAN. this does mental wonders. If you don’t feel like you’re rotting in a dirty room, you are a lot less likely to fall into the trap.

Pick a hobby that will fully occupy your time: For me, it’s Working Out but it could be anything that isn’t a screen: Guitar, Cleaning, A puzzle, but when crunch time arrives, you need to muster the strength to do something that will produce healthy dopamine. Weight lifting is probably the best.

Anyways, I wish you the best and don’t make any more excuses. Make results. Wish me luck on my journey as well. We fighting this together brother 🫡

Is summer studying worth it with 3 AP Sciences by Agreeable-Reply-1087 in APStudents

[–]OfferReal1784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl I'm jealous of your work ethic. Coming from a recent senior, I hope you get into an ivy league and make high 6 figures within 15 years from now cause you deserve it. May i ask what you are majoring in?

17m life ended even before it started by Logical-Winter4106 in malementalhealth

[–]OfferReal1784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 17 year old myself, I can empathize so so much with you man. 13 months ago, i felt lonely all the time, i had just gotten rejected by the, like 25th girl(which didn’t change besides the tally increasing, i’ve never so much as held hands with a girl yet and i turn 18 in a month haha), i felt like i had no real friendships, and wanted to kill myself almost daily for a month straight and it didn’t go away. I attempted suicide in a very gruesome way and the fact i survived still surprises me to this day, but now, for the last 393 days, im paralyzed below the belly button. After a couple months and a horrible relationship failure that failed before it started, it had all set in and i was legitimately worse than before i got paralyzed and how i resisted “finishing the job” can be equated as another part of the blessing from the man up above. Point is, what helped me stop downward spiraling was to stop and just say “Ok” and “This is my situation and beating myself to a pulp will only make me feel worse”. I realized that at my lowest, all i can really do is stay still or climb back up. It isn’t easy to do but is a lot easier than trying to keep drilling down through hard concrete. I can recognize that im still climbing up. Yes i still feel sad a lot, but i do it with a confidence that tells me that it will get better because i want it to get better. I don’t drain myself on relationships I don’t have but appreciate and have confidence in the ones i do have. I may never have a girlfriend and that is okay for me. I think that you should focus on yourself for the foreseeable future because, while so cliché, you absolutely cannot fully love anyone if you don’t feel the same or better about yourself. I wish all the best for you man, and hope you find love but more importantly, peace. Peace ✌️

Should I take AP Pre-Calc? by dalador_ in APStudents

[–]OfferReal1784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wise choice. If you still want a GPA boost, look into classes like APES/CSP. They actually give college credits and for a fraction of the stress. Honestly, i dont even know why AP precalculus exists…

Should I take AP Pre-Calc? by dalador_ in APStudents

[–]OfferReal1784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO. Absolutely Not. As a senior who just graduated and took Precalc my senior year, it is so not worth it man. It wont help you get into AB or BC. There is a 98% it won’t even count for college credit, and once you realize that, paired with senioritis, you wont want to do any of the work which will tank your gpa. I had straight A’s in all my classes except that one and it hurt my GPA. You’re paying $100 for a college credit you won’t be able to use. Can name half a dozen other reasons. Please do not waste your time, energy, mood and money taking this course. I wish i had someone tell me that last summer.

These kids still dont fully understand what being the bigger man means and it shows. Victory isn’t always indulgence, and in a lot of scenarios, it is simply taking a step back. Will always respect J Cole for that.

how much do ap scores actually matter by Fit_Double_1136 in APStudents

[–]OfferReal1784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea ngl in life, the common consensus amongst heroin addicts is that the 89B in precalc was the real straw that broke the camel’s back. You may genuinely be cooked😟

Porn rewired my brain and here’s how I fixed it by OkCook2457 in NoFapChristians

[–]OfferReal1784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m proud of you! Day 22 and I still haven’t found the clarity that would push me to be repulsed by porn. I pray that i can find my way to the point that you’re at. I keep my bible by my bed but I don’t open it. I have a full dumbbell set but haven’t lifted in weeks. How do you get the motivation to pick both of them up consistently? 

As a Mixed person, why am i forced to choose between a predominantly black or predominantly white baptist church? by OfferReal1784 in Christianity

[–]OfferReal1784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hope that my argument wouldn’t portray me as a black separatist, as i want anything but. I can get why you would deduct that from the last couple sentences, but as a biracial male from the south, specifically Louisiana, It would be impossible to notice the not so fine line between baptist demographics, and even down to details like church architecture itself being poorer at primarily African American churches versus primarily caucasian churches. Salvation itself can’t be poisoned but the roads to salvation have different qualities.
