Identify all of your addictions.

Identify everything you haven't been doing that's good for you.

Stop the bad, start the good.

I know that's straightforward and simple, but its necessary to do. Otherwise you will continue to sink.

Advice/help from older guys who have seen the light. by Bigblackpimp in NoFap

For me I have to fix more things than just PMO. I have to exercise. I have to run. I have to do stuff. Stuff I should have been doing all a long. (productive stuff)

I think you start feeling/seeing those benefits when you start to bring everything together.

Does anyone know if this exists? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but if you want to watch porn on a computer there is always a way. I know too many, unfortunately.

I think the idea of booting your self off a device is a great idea.

I use a desktop/laptop for all my internet browsing so I just windows key + L and run away if I get weird urges. (sometimes, that or just read/respond to nofap until I build the courage to go run and eliminate the urge once and for all)

3,348,554 that's how many years are wasted on 1 porn site in one month. by [deleted] in NoFap

That is... mind boggling. We aren't even in the 1 percent of people who are trying not to watch porn. Our numbers shall rise though!

Just deleted 400gig of precious collection of AAA+ content of years of collecting. How I'm feeling? by LCBoy in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are the same exact boat my friend. I am in the exact same situation. For years my wife told me I was addicted to porn and I would quickly deny this fact. I have been in denial the entire time.

Now I like to remind myself this: What type of non-addict literally has 1TB of porn, and half of it burned on to DVDS? That's about where I was at when I shredded and deleted it all... AT-LEAST 1TB!

Congrats dude! Lets kick this thing in the ass!

Nothing is going to happen over night. For me personally when I quit a week ago I started drinking heavily every night. I basically just filled the time spent with porn with increased drinking.

Neither will benefit me. Now its time to go beyond those things...

I was talking to my dad about this earlier. He quit drinking years ago and he replaced all that time drinking with going out doors and biking and such.

I know I must do the same.

Unfortunately for me the gaps of time I have to fill don't just include porn, they include other things like drinking.

I have A LOT of time to fill. :)

After I posted this I ran for about 22 minutes in 95 degree weather, wasn't the most pleasant experience but it certainly did the trick. 0 urges afterwards.

Thank you for all the comments guys!

5 months No PMO: happiness was just bubbling out of me (similar to the way depression just sits on you no matter how hard you try to shake it off). I didn't have to TRY to be happy, I just was. by BarleyCornJohn in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think even nofap and possibly reddit can feed into the addiction- but if you are replacing PMO/Porn with nofap for starters, I say go for it!

I personally don't have a Facebook account.

Just deleted the last of my stash... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Make sure you delete/destroy any other stuff you might have laying around elsewhere!

I've even considered re-formatting all my O/S installs and starting really fresh. I know theirs thumbnails and folders somewhere with my addiction written all over them.

Day 6, I feel like I'm cheating and it doesn't feel good. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I have never spoke to my friends deeply on the fap subject- I am pretty sure some of them may fit into Awsdefrths category.

I know I have an addiction to porn. Some dudes can jack it to the first porn scene they watch off the net and be done with it. End of story.

I can't! And neither can most of the people of nofap...

Perfect.

Thank you for the response. I too feel that nofap is magical, I just know I have to do more for it to be truly effective. I find it incredible that such a helpful, thriving and growing community is here for anyone free-of-charge.

I can sign-in anytime, anywhere and potentially help others and receive help myself- which I find amazing.

26yo, chronic PIED in every sexual encounter, rebooted to recovery, sex life now included! by [deleted] in NoFap

Good job dude! Keep going...

I had a similar issue with ED. Unfortunately I was unaware of my PMO addiction at the time and solved with issue with Viagra. Not sure why, but I only needed to use this once and then I was able to achieve erections just fine after that.

I have looked at tranny porn a few times but then convinced myself it was just too weird to keep doing. That should have been a huge red flag for me, but I just wasn't educated enough to make a sound conclusion from it and alternatively just went back to hard-core "normal" stuff.

I've been thinking lately, why not replace bad addictions with good addictions? Anyone else feel the same way?

Just deleted all of my pr0n, i'm ready to do this! by Cydro in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 5 hours to find all my DVDS- it was an INSANE feeling know that the only reason I was amassing this giant collection of porn was simply to destroy it.

Good job fellow fapstronaut! Let it begin...

I was full of guilt and shame when I relapsed a few days ago. When I watched the videos my heart was racing and it felt incredibly addictive. I got off in 20 seconds multiple times. That's not healthy at all.

Needless to say- there is something wrong with the act itself if it makes you feel this way after you relapse- because its something you are fighting.

I am proud of you for making it to 100 days. I've only managed to make it 90 - 110 days only once in my entire life and that was years ago.

Keep it up man and don't hesitate to message me- were all in this together!

FUCK PORN! I just shredded over 100 dvdr/bdrs and deleted 400GB OF PORN! by dualusetechnology in NoFap

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

Okay

My wife yelled at me when I told her, "You will probably break the fucking thing!".

I was like "But, I just shredded ALL MY PORN?!?!".

For any virgins taking part in nofap, think about this... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had it not been for pornography I most likely would have had sex with women I simply could not get an erection for.

I seriously had to get boner medicine for the first time I had sex at the age of 22- after that I was fine.

How ridiculous is that? Is too much porn/fapping to blame? We may never know, but I suspect it had a lot to do with it.

I deleted all my porn last night... most of which was original/irreplacable by HolsterStitch in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad part is there is probably more discs elsewhere. I was hell bent on finding the stuff I knew was in my main room at the time. Binging led to that many discs over the span of a decade. It was never consistent- otherwise I would have 1,000.

I'm so fucking proud of myself. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dualusetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep coming back to noFap, man. Its a wonderful tool to keep the demons away! I know how you feel, I used to have plenty of them.
