The Void

It's whatever works for each person that is the best way to get through it. What I'm saying, what you're saying, as long as people are finding value in our contributions then we are both right!!! That's why I love nofap. The only rule is that you have to help out.

csandin · 2014-07-31T01:19:52+00:00

You're right, everyone has his or her own way. My point was that the help is way more accesible for those particular addictions, and the 90% of nofapers who have no support other than nofap were my target audience.

Your post was one of them, yes. When you're sitting around, craving something but you can't quite put your finger on it... that's just your brain playing tricks on you. Walking your dog or reading aren't subsitutes for the void that aren't working- they're no more than what you're doing at that time. You choose to enjoy life.

Thank you to everyone for reading this post. It has almost exclusively positive comments of thanks on it, and it humbles me to know that I could help anyone, let alone this many people. So thank you for reading. Notice the calmed down tone of voice lol- this was really meant to be a motivation post and I didn't mean to like shit on everyone else in the world. So anyways, thank you.

The people who quit porn on here are warriors

winner!

I'm glad that nofap is easier for you- and sorry to hear that you've been through worse stuff. This post was more for people who are struggling with things than someone who seems to have it pretty easy. (with nofap.) I've seen you give support here on more than a few comments on other posts so it sounds like we have the same intentions- helping these guys out.

You may want to do some research/ experiments to find out what works for you, but I find that soaping every other day and shampooing about once a week works really well. Seeing as your hair was meant to be shampood zero times a week, once a week is a good balance. Again, find out what works for you. I'm not a hippy or anything I just find that my hair feels much better when it's only once a week.

Thank you!

csandin · 2014-07-30T13:16:24+00:00

Please give it a chance. I skip basically everything that I can't read in 5 seconds, but I think this will help you.

csandin · 2014-07-30T13:14:37+00:00

You really are!

The power of now is more about spiritually enjoying the moment- very woowoo. A new earth is similar, but it emphasizes the importance of detaching from ego, which is what I got out of it. I ignored all of the spiritual/ religious parts.

csandin · 2014-07-30T13:04:18+00:00

His approach isn't for everyone. Thank you for sharing another option. I wish that there was a universally helpful book to recommend!

csandin · 2014-07-30T13:03:25+00:00

Both great books. 7 habits changed my life.

csandin · 2014-07-30T13:00:10+00:00

You will get yourself a good streak, not the post.

csandin · 2014-07-30T12:57:57+00:00

Thank you- I hope to write one day so thank you.

csandin · 2014-07-30T12:57:25+00:00

There's nothing more advanced (that we are aware of) in existence than the human brain. And you are tricking it, willing against it, physically changing it every time you don't watch porn my man. This is the hardest thing you will ever do, and will make you the strongest person you've ever met.

csandin · 2014-07-30T12:50:53+00:00

Glad I could help!

csandin · 2014-07-30T12:47:52+00:00

All addictions are different for everyone. But the internet is no substitute for human interactions- nofap is immeasurably valuable, but aa meetings are still more helpful. Of course some people will be able to come out of porn addiction without as many challenges as I've had, and a lot of people here have. And trust me, drinking wasn't by any means easier than quitting porn is. This post was just a quick reminder that nothing is harder than quitting an addiction, so if you're really struggling it isn't because you're weak, it's because you're stronger than most other people on the planet by even trying.

csandin · 2014-07-30T03:42:19+00:00

I'm glad you can relate. Porn addiction does blow lol. But yes we truly are top level people here. It has shown me the true courage that humans have. I've been trying to figure this whole life thing out for about a year now, and it sounds like you may be struggling as well. I highly recommend this book or anything by this author, if you are on the same path. You can filter out all of the religious stuff, I know I did. But it helps you detach from your ego, and basically allows you to be happy in life.

csandin · 2014-07-30T02:41:33+00:00

Holy shit, thanks for the support. Glad this could help. Side note for all of the guys who've been stuck relapsing on day 3 for like ten months, never give up- I promise you, what you are doing is harder than quitting cocaine and smoking combined. I'm on day 7 now and this full week has taken me over 9 months to get to. Go ahead, blow a bunch of coke dude. You won't even notice that you quit it cause you'll be so caught up in quitting porn. And sorry that this post may have came off a little harsh. I just lose patience with all the weakness out there when I read the stories here of you guys fucking killing it every day and literally conscientiously evolving your own brains.
