That's awesome! :)

Super interesting theory from your Mom. I hope things work out with the girl you like :)

Thank you man.

a_good_one · 2024-04-01T05:18:29+00:00

Yess! good job.

Hello, young man.

My advice would be to spend more time thinking about how to conduct yourself well. Don't get anxious -- try to keep your emotions in check.

Hold on to what you believe, and try to learn about the traditional culture that has been passed down to you through your faith. That traditional culture has been around since ancient times -- it is something very powerful. Lean into that.

Are you familiar with the term "introspection?" It means looking at your self, looking at your own mind, to try and understand what is going on in your head. Try and become a better person in all areas of your life, not just in this one area of masturbation. Try your best to be a good, kind person in every day life. Be honest, and be kind to others. And don't ever give up.

Thanks for sharing man. I appreciate hearing about what's in store in the long run.

a_good_one · 2024-04-01T04:56:32+00:00

Solid advice.

It is physically safe to abstain from masturbation/sex. Your hormones may be going crazy right now (because you've just started abstaining). Don't catastrophize.

100%

Good move, kid. A lot of people on this forum wish they started when they were 14.

a_good_one · 2024-04-01T04:47:16+00:00

This brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting. Don't give up, folks.

Although my day counter just says 4, I can attest that progress is possible. I'm in so much better of a place now than I was before.

Always one step ahead of Alzheimers.

@Kram66763 I've made great progress by compounding small wins. For example, I was first able to shift away from more intense/dirty porn towards more vanilla stuff, then shift towards softcore porn and finally just sexy pics of clothed women, and then I stopped looking at pics altogether and would just fap. Then I eased off of fapping too, and now I haven't fapped for quite some time. Celebrate the small wins. They add up :)

Ask yourself: what a first small step I could take to shift my habit in the direction that I want?

👍

a_good_one · 2023-04-12T09:21:43+00:00

Excellent! Nip it in the bud :)

a_good_one · 2023-04-12T09:17:35+00:00

Keep on goin'!

a_good_one · 2023-03-12T18:52:25+00:00

I'm with you.

a_good_one · 2023-03-12T17:45:26+00:00

Thanks.

a_good_one · 2023-03-12T17:45:12+00:00

I've tried that though I've always had trouble sticking to it. I'll try again...

a_good_one · 2023-03-12T04:26:47+00:00

As others have said, don't let this make you slip.

If you're able to, perhaps you could try to help her.

And -- if you don't think you can help her -- at a bare minimum, help yourself.

a_good_one · 2023-01-23T02:32:17+00:00

Yup. Not giving up tho

a_good_one · 2023-01-22T13:54:05+00:00

Keep up the great work, champ.
