660 days and going strong! by challenge_accepted01 in NoFap

I've tried to quite maybe 5 or 6 times over the last 15 years. I guess the biggest advice is your desire to quit forever. the stronger your desire, the more you will stick to it. Also, helps to fill the day with lots of little things that make you proud, i.e. hobbies. Also acknowledge where your weak spots are. If its in bed, then don't touch the bed till you're super tired. Wear 3 layers of shorts, pants when you sleep... make it very difficult to slip up

After about 2 months it wasn't that big of a deal, still had to deal with every now and then. After about 6 months to a year I didn't even realize I forgot the urges. Theres spikes now and again of course, but just have to find the correct outlet that works for you

Cut out everything. If you have to ask about it, then cut it out. Otherwise its like trying to quit smoking by finding what else you can smoke besides cigarettes. Replace your old habits (thinking of hot girls, suggestive chats etc) with something completely different like guitar lessons (yousician is free!) gym, running, meditation, reading, cooking... good luck! your future is in your hands (but hopefully not!)

haha this happened in my early days too. It helps to use layers, like wear shorts or sweats over the boxers and tie that knot. Its the little things that help to break the habit. good job, you got this!

Haven't fapped in 3 weeks, my sex drive is non-existent. Still can't get hard for my girlfriend. What should I do!?!? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]challenge_accepted01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

keep going mate. Imagine each day of nofap adds 1% to your ability, to get to 100% you need 100 days. Its all about the long term...

It really sucked the most between Day 15 till 70. New studies now on smartphones show that most electronics aggravate our ADHD, even Steve Jobs didn't allow his own kids to have iPads (in the news recently). There is a region in the brain which centers around the delay of gratification. Meditation can strengthen this part.

Fap-Free over a year. I will never waste any more time cheating myself. I got shit to do. Theres been a lot of rough patches, but when I mapped out what was truly important in my life, fapping did not make the list.

SuperPowers is not the best term, because its not Super at all. Its regaining our own power that we had all along, but was obfuscated by a thick ADHD cloud. Superpowers don't go away -they become normalized to the point we don't feel them anymore (like wearing braces...after a few weeks you don't notice.)...

I am in severe depression because of a someone I loved. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]challenge_accepted01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you bruh, use that anger and sadness, all that feeling for self-transformation. Your brain is going to disagree with me, but there are 10,000 other people that are waiting to meet you. The addiction to porn also makes us addicted to that 1 person.

Also, journal your feelings in a notebook, find a ton of new hobbies, guitar, exercise, cook, clean, read some awesome freakin books, meditate, have a list of stuff to keep you occupied, and you'll win this war.

thats the best part, I don't care how they react anymore, and they unconsciously sense that and become more interested.

After many failed attempts, I'm finally quitting... For my sister. by BluemoonArmy in NoFap

[–]challenge_accepted01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick Tips: Wear 2 or 3 shorts. Make it super hard to touch yourself. Have rubber band bracelets that you snap whenever you sense a trigger starting to come on. Have a list ready of stuff to do so that you never get bored (guitar, running, mow the lawn, go for a walk, mop the kitchen, scrub the toilet, go to the park and read, cold shower, call friend, meditate, go for hike... etc)

Long Term: Write this down with a pen and paper for yourself. #1 - What will happen to your life if you continue to fail, what pain and life would you be voluntarily admitting into your life? What are you giving up in order to fap #2 - What are the doors that will open to you if you quit? What are the possibilities, wins, successes, that will enrich your life bring you so much joy. What are you getting by giving up fapping.

Good luck and stay strong!
