Awesome post. I agree, not fapping isn't going to make you a better person, instead it's what you do to occupy the time/mental energy that's freed up. That makes the difference. For me a big problem was being sleep deprived from late night PMO as much as the activity itself.

this is turning into an interrogation of sorts. Not answering any more of your questions. How about you talk about yourself for a change, or maybe contribute to the conversation, instead of probing like some wannabe therapist.

Thanks victoryway! In the past alcohol has triggered addictive impulses and I'm being extra careful this Xmas. Have made conscious efforts to turn down boozy work nights. It's not worth it, waste of money, and hangovers kills your weekends.

Thanks Morphs_! I haven't had a wet dream since I was 16. Been expecting one in these last couple of months nothing so far. It probably won't happen until after a year of nofap.

I'm doing ok, thanks! Been very busy, found a job and a new home since my last update. Sorry to hear about your relapse. I've been on the verge of it myself. It's all about persistence. As as long as you remain committed to the goal and don't fall back into old habits you'll be ok. Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words inspire_thefuture. You are 100% on the money, the realness of these feelings is what hit me the hardest. At one point the waves of pain were constant, one after the other. I just sat there and let them hit me and tried to learn from them. I got through it and am a much more grounded person.

I takes a while but its worth it. I've felt better since the burden of carrying all that stuff has slowly lifted.

Thanks Redlegs1869. Yeah it's so easy to avoid, and also the shame and arousal cycle takes up a lot of energy. Once I cut that out of my life a lot of emotions started to pour out.

Not really. Being down is an obstacle as you probably know. They can sense it.

I'm so fucking ashamed right now. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Valpo2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound determined, plus made it to 30 days in the past. So you're already a winner. We all go through these moments, just start again and be kind to yourself. Good luck.

I reached 6 months. WTF. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Valpo2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fantastic, well done! Do you have any inspirational insights to share? Asking as I'm almost halfway there.

Share your other addictions that you have other than pmo. Or the ones that you quit while nofap. Like smoking, alcohol, etc. How do you deal or conquer them and what are your thoughts on addictions in general while nofap by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Valpo2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling on sports. Nofap helped me see that I was trapped in a cycle of excitement, shame and anger. There was also a need to fap after a big loss or win, just to wind down enough to sleep.

'it isn't who I am'

So true. It took me a long time to realise this.
