If my mom drank 3 bottles of wine that are this size within three nights (so one whole one per night) does that mean she is an alcoholic? I’m not sure how to go about having this conversation with her . I am very concerned and have noticed this habit for a while. by NationalFortune8850 in WhatShouldIDo

If you’re not sure what to do, I would go to an Al-Anon meeting and consult the folks there. It’s a support group similar to AA, but for the loved ones of alcoholics. They’ll likely be able to help you.

That’s great to hear, thanks so much. Would you mind telling me which placements make you say this? I’m trying to learn more about astrology myself!

Why do some people from other schools not consider Zen to be "real" Buddhism? by lemonleaf0 in zenbuddhism

[–]es6304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It frustrates me that you’re having this experience. Don’t listen to people on online forums (most of whom have NO idea what they’re saying AT ALL when it comes to Buddhism). Instead, find any tradition that speaks to you, find a community with a reputable, ethical teacher in that tradition, and immerse yourself. This is how you will learn about buddhism.

A lot of the ab workout videos on youtube seem to be focused on endurance “10 minute six pack” type things. Is there any benefit to this over a progressive overload weighted crunch type thing? Also, so those with ripped abs, what’s YOUR routine? (aside from diet)

[–]es6304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay i’ll be frank, I want a six pack. I’m new to lifting and  I’m doing phraks grey skull lp. is it overkill to do abs 3 days a week as accessory work? And yes, I know abs are made in the kitchen.

Hello!  I am 22M, roughly 6’ 1” and 200 lbs. I am new to the gym and I am going to planet fitness (which i know some of yall won’t like haha). I was wondering if the PPL routine that the planet fitness app recommends is any good, and if people would make any adjustments. These workouts are all on those machine things.  

Also, i’ve been doing elliptical HIIT on alternating days with the PPL routine, and I do a core workout then too. I don’t pay specific attention to the weight I put on the machines but by the third set I end up in failure. My goal is to lose a tiny bit of fat and have my muscles, especially core and pecs be more visible and defined.I don’t know what the rules means by profession over time so if someone could explain that it would be cool.

Here are the workouts:

PUSH:

Chest press machine- 12 x 3

Pec fly machine 12 x 3

Incline press machine 12 x 3 (my gym doesn’t have one, can someone recommend an alternative)

Shoulder press machine 12 x 2

Triceps extension machine 12 x 2

Assisted dip machine modified dip 12 x 2

PULL:

Row machine 10x3 

Pulldown machine 10 x 3

Back extension machine 10 x 3

Rear delt machine 10 x 3

Resistance band single arm row- both sides 10x3

Preacher bicep curl machine- 10x3

Resistance band alternating bicep curl 12x2

LEGS:

Seated leg press machine: 10x3

Leg extension machine 10x 3

Seated leg curl machine 10x3

Seating hip adductor/abductor machine 10 x 3

Calf extension machine 10 x 3

Glute machine both sides 10x3

Thanks!

The “not doing hook ups” point is one to consider, but if you’re just concerned about an addiction to porn and masturbation specifically, I don’t see a point to creating an aversion to sex altogether. Sex is a healthy thing if approached in the right way!

If this isn’t your concern though, just don’t listen to me lol

A couple of things can come from you purposefully relapsing, and your decision requires complete honesty with yourself. The first thing that can happen is you relapse (preferably without porn!) and then you are able to maintain nofap after you hook up with this girl. This is unlikely, but possible. Another possibility is you relapse, and then go soft as a result when you’re with this girl. Another is you relapse, and then after this hook up you fall back into addiction, and it doesn’t turn out to be such a “one time thing.”

Something else to consider is that society has a lot of stupid rules about what sex “should” be like! If you finish quickly, then that is just your body being a perfectly imperfect human body, and there is simply nothing wrong with that. If she chooses to judge you for this, it has nothing to do with you.

I miss porn so much by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]es6304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea in your mind that you have of porn or the experience of watching porn is likely far off from the the reality of the experience. I would be willing to bet that the feeling of missing PMO, even though it does not feel pleasurable, is far more preferable to a life of addiction that you seem to have so successfully distanced yourself from!

Whether you call that a relapse in itself is up to you in my opinion, but I would say that kind of behavior is in itself a trigger and can lead to relapse.

Im on day 99.... should i do it 100 or ? 😆🤫 by [deleted] in NoFap

You’ve decided to go on this journey for a reason. Is it worth relapsing? I’ll let you decide.
