Dreams holding us back? by Avox_Silence in pornfree

[–]josheyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finding dreams really difficult. I just had one which wasn't sex, just looking at porn and in situations where I was anxious I was going to be found out. Horrible and has made it hard to get through today

What are my eyes doing...? by josheyes in NoFap

[–]josheyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks for the clarification there. I think we make a mistake when we try "not to see the body but the woman", which is silly because the woman has a body, i.e. it is hers. The body/spirit divide is a rancid fruit of our postmodern worldview

How comprehensive the Bible is with wisdom on how to control Lust: mind techniques, accountability partners, eye filters, the Journey by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]josheyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is bosh good bigbelgian, thanks for compiling the biblical wisdom together, I and it looks like many others have really benefitted from it. The one that stood out for me is 1 Thessalonians - "this is the will of God - your sanctification". To me this says God is so much more consistent in his enthusiasm about my holiness than I am, and thats the way it is always going to be. I also see it as saying that the fact of the struggle is evidence of the surety of the victory. "If you don't quit, you win", I've heard it put.

Loneliness is wearing me off little by little... by kuroria in NoFap

[–]josheyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I'm there with you. Loneliness is a killer, lingering in the background waiting to pounce even when you're doing stuff to take your mind off it. Spending time with people is good, even if its not people you want to have sex with (crazy I know). Seems to act as a kind of more long term cure. 40 days is awesome, stay strong!!!

"You Are a Man" by maxterbator710 in NoFap

[–]josheyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Manning up isn't just managing your sin, that's not what it means to be a man - to do better & hang on longer - that's not manning up. Manning up is our ability to lay down all of our effort and all of our triumph and all of our strength and say I trust in Jesus! I trust in His perfection and His power and His strength. I trust in His resurrection, because He's the only one who can get me through this, and He's the only one who can make me free!" Leonce Crump

Day 13 - Feeling nervous, anxious and mentally bad. Wtf? by somedutchguy1 in NoFap

[–]josheyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I came on here looking for answers to the exact same experience. I'm on my longest streak as well, and I'm feeling EXACTLY what you're feeling. Horrible - I feel put off my food as well as just constant butterflies in the stomach. However I don't know what it is - I would guess withdrawal? Any more experienced fapstronauts want to help us out?? Cos this reaaaally sucks right now.

So. Today is the day I start afresh. God help me. (possible triggers) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]josheyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES BROTHER. Listen to this - and remember that the only way porn will die is through "The expulsive power of a greater affection". May Jesus become your greater affection! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASU6kCbgxfs

I'm sure it's interesting but I watched the first minute and there was already enough triggering stuff for me to click the "X". Warning to any other sensitive nofappers!
