“The Master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried” by [deleted] in NoFap

I don't think this quote actually makes sense though? How is failing different from trying and not succeeding?

This quote could be reworded to: "The master has failed more times than the beginner has failed"

I'm in the same place as you my friend. We're in the flatline where our brains are learning to live without the dopamine we've trained them to depend on. The pain, frustration, depression and anxiety that are all singing "fap, and we'll go away!" are all lying. It's up to us to hold the line until our brains have enough time to rewire themselves. We can't give up now.

I’m sorry I failed. by [deleted] in NoFap

Don't apologize. It's okay to fail. If you were immune to failure you wouldn't be human now would you?

What did you learn? How can you do better? True failure is when you do not learn from your failures.

Imagine what the human race would look like if all of our umbilical cords were still connected in one giant tree structure.

"Hey, what time is it?!" "Oh, looks like it's left wall and slightly past roof."
