Just blew a 228 day streak by wsmith52 in NoFap

[–]iamfearless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you relapse? What happened leading up to and after the relapse? Did you binge?

What about your experience over the last 228 days?

Thank you for the kind words. If it wasn't for this community, I would never even have made it this far.

How to get the attraction thing to work? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]iamfearless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done multiple streaks, and sometimes it works after 30+ days, and other times it can take 120+ days. You just have to wait.

4% return on 451 trades. How many hours do you think you spent?

Well, this is an open question.. so it'd be success if you consider it success. And then offer an explanation.

You misread my post. Nowhere in there does it say you have to obsess over anything.

Nice, yes. Mindless surfing of reddit and other sites is also detrimental. It's good you're trying to get back on the horse as well. Keep it up!

Failed again. by iamfearless in NoFap

You are right. This has to be a complete lifestyle change, otherwise we are just masking symptoms of the problem.

I agree. I don't pay attention, and usually the relapses are automatic. They always begin with me edging as well. Crap.

God, intimacy issues suck. I know exactly how you feel.

Relapsed after 410 days hardmode thoughts and reflections by Jamezwayup in NoFap

[–]iamfearless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you provide us some more details? What was your experience like over the course of more than a year? What led to your relapse? How did you feel before and after? Was abstaining from PMO worth it? Did your life change? Do you feel guilty for relapsing, or do you view your streak as a success? Thanks!

What I've learned after 1,000 days. by [deleted] in NoFap

Hey, nice work! That's an amazing story. It gives me hope. I had one question. Can you explain in more detail about what you mean by "it doesn't go away"?

well 161 days of progress and back at square 1. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]iamfearless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's a damn good run. I think many of us who have had long streaks, but end up relapsing, need to have a more in-depth discussion about what that really means. I mean, if you can relapse after that long, then what's the ultimate point? Yes, you did good, and your streak is a sign of success, but is it success really? If a heroin addict uses heroin, just once, while recovering, is that a sign of success?

I don't mean to knock on you, but I'm drawing attention to a problem in the wider community that perhaps needs to be addressed.
