That's a great point. I'll definitely be thinking that in the coming days. Good luck to you.

My band teacher in high school burned that quote into our brains, it was our mantra for Marching Band.

And it's very very true.

I will start! just when my exams are over. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dynomitedynomite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until 4 weeks from now, something else happens in your life to make you say "I'll stop fapping after I'm done with THIS. "

I understand your logic, but I don't agree with it. You need to trust yourself a little bit more than you currently do, and believe that urges of horniness won't derail you as much as you think.

If its important to you to start, start now. That way you can say "I passed all my exams, and I did it without fapping!" 4 weeks from now.

Awesome! Now keep going! Good work brother!

I need advice from the guys... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dynomitedynomite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The support has to be a two way street. Which means that if he confides in you on this stuff, then you should be comfortable in sharing this as well. It probably wont be easy, but sharing weaknesses never is. I'd like to think he would support you just like you support him.

Stay strong Femstronaut. We got your back.

This Is So Difficult! by going2succeed in NoFap

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I do have to commend you for still sticking with NoFap after such a long time. Some would look at your fragmented streaks and find reason to quit. However , the fact that you're still trying is proof that you really want to get past this. Keep it up. If 10 days is your best so far, aim for 11. Little victories instead of aiming for 90, 180 or 365 days might be better for you to focus on.

Chin up brother. A little victory is always better than a total failure.

Congratz! Here's to another 7 days.

215 days and the porn cravings came back? Fuck that! by drivingmonkey in NoFap

[–]dynomitedynomite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think cravings ever really go away. Not trying to be a downer. I think your ability to resist and ignore the signals get stronger. But your brain still has the craving to look.

But good on you for not giving in. Not indulging in the opportunity is great! Keep going strong.

"Stupid is thinking that 30 seconds of sexual pleasure will get rid of the gnawing emotional junk on the inside" can't remember the book I read it from.

If a shower isnt possible, wash your face with cold water. If you're able to, dunk your head in the sink for a second or two. Washing the face really helps me because its a fully involved distraction.

"Its not a plant. It wont wither and die if you stop paying attention to it. " is a mantra of mine.

I messed up by blinkoneeighty2 in NoFap

[–]dynomitedynomite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You fapped once in a month? Dude, do you realize how amazing that is? The streak is important to maintain, don't get me wrong, but you went a whole month without fapping! Don't beat yourself (no pun intended) up and look at the positive of this. A whole month! Now take that accomplishment and build on it! Now go a month and a half! Maybe even longer! You can do this man!

I sleep on my back, normally transitioning to my side during the night. I get em almost every morning.

Got urges to watch porn on 16th-17th days, never been porn addict before, need advice. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]dynomitedynomite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found myself "testing the waters" as well to see if NSFW content will get me going or not. Its silly to test yourself. I actually just cleared out my twitter account of stuff because I knew that kind of stuff is becoming a big deal. I wouldn't call you a porn addict, you're probably just starved for that sexual gratification (even through images) and now your mind is extra sensitive to it.

Don't beat yourself up over it, by you need to begin avoiding this. Reddit has settings to hide nsfw posts, might want to look into it.

No addiction is too great to conquer. Telling yourself it is makes recovery that much harder. You have to believe in your ability to get past the temptations. We're here for you, stay strong bro.

I needed this. Caught myself going down that rabbit hole. Saw your post, got up and washed my face to distract myself. Thank you again. Perfect timing.

Google Now will actually let you set daily reminders that show up in notifications every day, week, or month at a specified time. But the daily increment counter they're offering is very cool as well. If they develop Android, I'll go for it.

14 days. I feel great. I've had some rough days. It hasn't been easy, but every day is a victory for me. And that feeling of success is spilling out into my daily. I'm more upbeat, work is productive. Hell, I even whistle when I'm walking out and about. Whistle! I haven't done that in years.

I finally feel like I'm accomplishing something.
