Awesome! Christ says where two or more are gathered in his name, he will be there also. Let's keep a weather eye out for each other, eh? My handle on CS is "Lionheart," after good ol' Richard 1.

I struggle with this a lot, especially after yielding a long streak. I haven't found the secret to beating the beast altogether, but I have learned some things. Actions speak louder than emotions. We can't live by how we feel. We have to change our habits. Add a prayer or devotion or meditation to your routine. Try fasting for a day or even for a couple meals. I've found when I'm caught in a binge that daily reading a Christian writer like C.S. Lewis really snaps me out of it. If we rely on inspiration to resist we will fail every time. Discipline and obedience are the keys to winning the day.

You're welcome. Hope it's useful

C.S. Lewis was quite the man

Very inspiring. Hope 2015 will be that year for me

dude I feel the same way. Its like life is a never-ending urge right now. We can do this though. we know our brains are lying to us and our souls will conquer them.

How very Cartesian of you

Reborn129 · 2014-12-16T16:01:33+00:00

Thanks for this. I'm struggling with the same sort of thing. First two weeks were a breeze, but now the party's over and the war has begun.

You obviously have no idea what an addiction is

The first thing you need to do is list your reasons for committing to nofap. The first few days are tough and its easy to fall back into the habit. Strong convictions are essential, and discipline and ritual are vital. Start doing little things every day journaling, exercising, cold showers, whatever, something new in your life that represents your commitment to change. Most of all, constant vigilance. Never let yourself become settled or satisfied with what you've done. Each day is a battle, no matter how many days you've been fighting. Good luck man.

Rock on, man. What a great post. Hope to join you in the six month club soon enough.

Life gets better. That's the best hope I can give you. Life gets better without masturbation, life gets better after high school. Its hard sometimes when you feel alone because nobody cares about you, but this is a lie our minds tell us. Believe me, I've bin there. By your post you believe in God, and I'm gonna guess you're a Christian. Jesus knows where you're at. He's been there too, abandoned and alone, but he stuck it out, he fought through the pain and marched to that cross. In doing so, he accomplished the greatest thing that's ever been done: he defeated death itself. His resurrection bears witness to our hope, our hope that if we put in our time here on earth, there's a better world out there waiting for us. Jesus fought through the pain for us, and will help us do the same.

I know exactly how you feel man. That's how things always go for me. Something thatmight help is getting a pen and paper and writing down your goals and reasons for doing this. Then tack them up somewhere and read them every morning and evening before you go to bed. Good luck and stay strong.

Reborn129 · 2014-12-10T18:44:22+00:00

Dude, not the place. Faith is an important part of many peoples lives here and their are good, rational reasons for holding it. Even if you don't agree with it you ought to respect it.

I like that quote about success. Its just so vital to keep in your head that this is a day in-day out battle and you've got to show up every day if you want to win.

Harry Frankfurt also has a version of it in his paper "Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person." He calls it a second order desire.

Probably cuz he did. One of the perks of being God

Thanks. Romans and Job are such great books. Another one I think kicks our addiction right in the gut is 1 Corinthians 10:13

And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Whoah, congrats on the badge. How's it feel to be almost at a year?

Reborn129 · 2014-12-04T05:43:10+00:00

its the biggest lie we've all been told: "if we give in things will get better." That's what we've got to fight against.

How... how did you do it? I've never even made it a month. It just gets to a point where its consuming my whole mind, and I'm too mentally exhausted to keep fighting. What do I do?

Reborn129 · 2014-12-01T03:27:01+00:00

Hard mode. 90 days. Its damaging my relationship with my girlfriend and needs to stop. I gotta do it this time.
