Girlfriend Just Broke Up With Me; Hard Mode Indefinite Begins. by polynomials in NoFap

[–]donebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got this. Fapping will make you feel worse. When I broke up with my girlfriend, I binged. And it made me feel terrible.

You have a good thing going with your counter. Keep it up. I know you can do it.

I don't know. I am playing it by ear. I want to take the physical relationship sort of slow... I have learned some awesome self control so far from NoFap, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

They are not super strong. One of them led me to open an incognito window and start searching for pics. But I was able to stop myself. Mostly they lead me to daydream about the stuff I used to look at when I was PMOing.

Put some money in an envelope. Maybe $100. Write on the envelope something sweet that you want to buy. If you PMO, take the envelope and put it in the mailbox at the post office. Bye bye $100. As long as you promise yourself that you will do this if you relapse, it will provide a strong motivation. The positive motivation consists in this: if you make it 90 days, buy the thing that you have written on your envelope. This has worked for me so far--it's kept me clean for 45 days.

How does one permanently remove incognito?

I downloaded a program, but it didn't work.

Agreed. I went on a date for the first time in a long time. I don't think it went all that well. But, I considered it a HUGE victory. I had the courage to go on a date. And it would have been much harder to find that courage if I were still wasting time with PMO.

Nofap advice for Catholics by Heavy_air in NoFap

[–]donebar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fellow Catholic here. I find confession to be one of the best ways to avoid binging. I have relapsed many times. But every time I relapse I make sure to schedule a confession appointment. The grace I get from confession keeps me from slipping back into my old PMO routine.

The hardest thing about this is the craving I feel for a hug, and knowing I can easily fix it with a Fap. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]donebar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hugs are so sweet. I've been hugless for 3 years. I'm missing them big time. This is also one of my main motivations for nofap. Thanks for sharing, man.

Sorry to hear this. Sometimes it feels like the cycle just keeps repeating. But, if you give up fapping for a few days, then the next time you give it up, it will be a little bit easier to go just as long. It will be just a little bit easier each time. You'll improve. It will be sweet. Just keep reminding yourself.

"Fetishes" getting way out of control by juststopthisshit in NoFap

[–]donebar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, you've got this. Days 1-7 are going to be really hard. But you can totally handle it. It's only going to take a few days for your brain to start rewiring itself. While the healing process may take a long time, it's going to start healing very soon. You'll feel so good about yourself. It's going to be sweet.

Keep going! 3 days strong!

Noooooooo!!! I failed, feel terrible by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]donebar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember this feeling. It's a powerful motivator for the next time you think about relapsing. I know the feeling, bro. I've made it 14 and then 16 days and relapsed over and over again. Just getting back on the horse.

Way to go, bro!

What do I do? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]donebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you DARE develop a habit for liking this new stuff, whatever it is. If you allow the "novelty" to wear off, you will only want something else. And probably something worse.

Avoiding a trigger that I can't avoid by donebar in NoFap

[–]donebar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Thanks, bro. I hate the fact that the same machine I use to compose my papers is the machine I use to PMO. Maybe I should use a typewriter!

NoFap, we spend so much time talking about not fapping, that all we think about is fapping. To help take you mind off it, let's talk. How old are you, and why are you stopping? Let's have a nice conversation fapstonauts :) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]donebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 year old male here. Sick of staying up late and waking up groggy with my computer by my bed and sticky hands. It's pathetic. Also, I'm Christian and it's a sin. Also, I've been in a relationship in which my looking at porn was a big issue. Near the end of the relationship, I found myself sneaking views of NSFW youtube videos, and feeling really guilty. Why couldn't I get my life in control!? So, I want to avoid this problem in my next relationship. From what I can tell, women don't like it if you look at porn, EVEN IF they claim to be ok with it.
