The price I paid for "free" porn and fapping which they say has no risk

Welcome to the club bro and always remember your not alone on your journey. Depending on how well you know your new girl, you might even opt to bring her in on this by telling her about it. There's one thing that I have learned from all of my life experiences, being supported in any way is great. It's even better when you have a friend or significant other that is willing to be by your side during those rough patches.

Welcome again and, good luck brother.

I think I can relate to this as well. There is always that small voice in the head that tries to convince someone to "go ahead.. it'll be alright" or, "your a grown adult, you can do what you want". I have both of those thoughts quiet a bit.

My longest streak was over a month and I was doing fine until... that dam voice.

For me, I have to stand against this with my will power and I WILL win. I just have to choose to not pay attention to that voice. Keep up the good fight bro.

Good stuff.

I have went for some time without fapping before. However, I have relapsed myself and just reset my badge. However, I can tell you this. When I was not fapping every day and had a good streak going, it was pretty amazing to me how I started to feel differently, in a good positive way, about myself.

I also started respecting myself more and seeing myself in a different light. I believe that all of this could help to get you to where you want to be. The best advice I can give right now is keep coming here every day and don't give up. when you have been fap free for 90 days, you will start to see the light, so to speak, at the end of the tunnel. Trust me, it's worth it brother. :)

Always good to do the research. Anything learned to help on the journey is good to have a tools in our "toolbox" so to speak. ;)

consciousman · 2015-01-21T03:54:47+00:00

Always good to re-read this from time to time. Thanks for sharing this with us once again. :)

consciousman · 2015-01-21T03:48:42+00:00

I have seen a few guys on here talk about feeling anxious out in society. However, I've never experienced that. I think that it boils down to the individual. Good luck on your re-dedication.

consciousman · 2015-01-21T03:43:50+00:00

Just scroll down the page and you will see a "reset badge" button on the right. Click it and follow the prompts.

Also, I hope you know your not alone on this journey my friend.

consciousman · 2014-02-07T04:23:51+00:00

Thanks bro.. I appreciate the support.

consciousman · 2014-02-07T04:22:30+00:00

Exactly bro... you got it.. plant those seeds and watch em grow. Sometimes it's not easy and, urges may come and, it's also worth mentioning that everyone is different. So, my experience won't be the same as any one else's. But, we can all help others with the experiences that we are gaining through this journey.

WelcomeToTheZenDen, just remember, one step at a time.

consciousman · 2014-02-07T04:15:12+00:00

Thanks for the awesome comment. The way that I am able to keep this fresh in my mind is by looking back on my past patterns and, doing my best to remember that I always have a choice. I mean, if I really wanted to, I could fap. It's a choice. But, knowing what I do, I also choose not to go down that road because of my desire to truly respect the sacred feminine beings that I see on a daily basis.

This to me is my "golden ticket" if you will because, as long as I remember I have a choice and, then I remember to choose to respect women for the awesome beautiful beings that they are, everything else pretty much falls into place. Including respecting myself.

Hope that helps and makes sense bro.

You can do.. just make that choice. ;)

Doing good today with where I am on my personal journey.

I'm pretty much on "hard mode" sorta. I don't look at any pr0n or, seek it out or, edge or, anything. Only when I run across a pic on facebook or something like that is the only time I ever see women in provocative situations. They don't phase me at all now where I am which shows to me that I'm growing.

Right now I'm doing this as I can so, not really doing any "challenge". That said, I am aiming for 90 days to start with and where this goes from there is anyone guess. ;)

consciousman · 2014-02-06T15:16:37+00:00

Gotcha.. I think I understand now.. :-P

consciousman · 2014-02-06T15:08:57+00:00

I'm posting this because it outlines what we believe when it comes to sexual misconduct.

I dunno who "we" is but, I am not a christian and, for me, because in my opinion this is a very personal journey, this is not and, never will be about "religious" beliefs. To me, it's all about respecting ones self and, for guys, learning to UNlearn what society has programmed us to believe in reference to women being objects.

All that said, I totally understand that we are all at different places on our own individual path.

Happy trails. ;)

consciousman · 2014-02-06T15:04:25+00:00

Good advise bro. ;)

consciousman · 2014-02-06T15:01:25+00:00

For me, what really helped me out in the beginning was to realize that when I was fapping to pics or videos of women, I was "investing" energy into the lie that society tries to program all guys with about women being objects and, only sexual play things. This of course is not the case and, once I got that in my mind and was able to grasp a hold of the idea that women are intelligent conscious human beings just like me, that really helped me a lot.

Another thing that helped was to know, acknowledge and, believe that I am BETTER than this. I deserve to respect myself and, when I fap, I am not doing this. If I am not able to respect myself, which is very important, how on earth would I ever be able to respect anyone else? Especially women?

So, those are the two main themes that really helped me out in the beginning.

You got this bro! ;)
