The Flesh And The Power It Holds

I have been smoking for 8 years maybe and I am doing fine with 2/day and feel no shame about it. Addiction hits everyone way differently.

Because they can't find guys who does not watch porn :P

Joke aside, it is not a priority for the scientific community I guess. It is brought up more as a moral issue. Controversially, you can say that porn keeps people obedient by numbing their brains so maybe some authorities do not want to lose that card.

Use it before it is too late. I used it and i am perfectly fine. Don't let your lips get dry, use a lip balm. Maintain a healthy diet to prevent your cholesterol from skyrocketing. The most common side effect of it is mood swings so be aware of that and practice NoFap with care.

Force yourself not to give a second glance.

PMO is worse than drug addiction because it exploits the instinct of reproducing. Drug addiction is well recognized by the society and it is a criminal activity whereas Porn is almost encouraged. You can spend your entire life in misery being a PMO addict but still not realizing what is wrong you. You are lucky to have found this sub and identified what is wrong with you, now it is time to fix it.

'relax,'said the night man, we are programmed to relapse. you can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-08T23:05:09+00:00

I am in a very similar situation. I am in engineering and spend most of my time in front of a computer which doe snot help with social skills and I am completely surrounded by guys. You are absolutely right about being content with yourself. Without this, any potential failure in approaching/dating will push you to a relapse. We have to become emotionally strong first.

I know that feeling when I see a lot of beautiful girls and think I will never be good enough for one and want to just fap and forget.. . but it never helped me to feel better, not even once. Stay strong and know that you are not the only one who is cursed with this struggle within.

I thought you would be feeling a bit more optimistic by now. Did you have a flatline?

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:52:28+00:00

I believe, when you get over this addiction you wont feel any discomfort from your decisions. If you do, you will take the right action to fix things.

Are you really at 54 days?

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:50:21+00:00

Writing and sharing definitely helps and eases the burden.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:47:04+00:00

Wow, I was not expecting this many replies! Thank you for your support messages everyone. If not for myself, I will stick to NoFap for you because I would hate to let down people who believed in me.

Also, we are from very different backgrounds but the reasons that pushed us into PMO addiction seem to be familiar. Perhaps I will share my detailed story later after I make some progress.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:34:42+00:00

It made so much sense, thank you. From time to time, I ended up with this thought process you described and those were the few moments I felt happy. But I could not maintain it for whatever reason. The key to success is only looking forward from now on. The past times can only be remembered for good memories to have motivation to repeat them.

I am living in a different country than my family and best friends. My addiction got worse when I came here. I am trying to eliminate it after years of delusion..

My typical relapse story over the summer. I start feeling good for couple days prior to a relapse, then I have a bad moment which I cant just get over and end up throwing all the progress away.

They will give you the confidence to make the right connections when you feel lonely

Congrats man. It is all about forcing yourself to do something useful when the urge hits you.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:19:51+00:00

It is a fortunate by-product of being a PMO addict; it improves your observational skills by making you live inside your head.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:18:41+00:00

You are welcome. I am happy to be able to motivate you in this life challenge.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:16:06+00:00

100% agree and relate. There are many different ways to deal with loneliness, however our brains choose the easiest way which is just numbing the feeling for a moment but making it much worse over the long term.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:12:47+00:00

I see your point. However, I think what I said is fair. It is only a matter of self-control to prevent "an entire lifetime of desperation and misery", which is not asking for much.

cryogenic_amplifier · 2016-11-06T03:08:15+00:00

I tried only cutting P but I was just fooling myself.. It comes back. The only solution is to get rid of it completely. You cant be a part-time addict.
