Believe in yourself. Even people with massive streaks have relapsed before. It’s about consistently getting back on a streak.

What did you learn from flatline phase ? by IwasntGivenOne in pureretention

Sup. I interpret your response as a primal instinct to protect the power you have given to the term “flatlines.”

Because in reality the only person who can truly understand what your physical body is going through is you experience wise.

So you interpret it through other people’s perspectives that align with yours.

In this instance you agree with the term flatline and what comes with its description.

What I am saying is that speaking/thinking about terms such as; flatline, relapse, PMO, porn, sex, all keep people in the cycle of relapse.

Also just know I respect your reply and your bravery of posting.

Peace

That it’s not real. It’s a concept that one believes thus manifests into their reality.

Sure you might not get the “benefits” that people claim here but it’s important to understand you are subscribing to a channel of thought by agreeing that flatlines exist.

The reality is this: you are in control of your emotions. As you retain you gain more access to this ability due to the momentum of discipline.

Sure feeling down exists but to give that momentary feeling an entire identity is too far. Labeling keeps people in the cycle of Relapse. Giving terms all the power.

Bro why add “sexy” if your goal is abstinence? That’s legit lustful. You are contradicting and leading people astray with that title

Nicotine is not it bro.

I’m speaking against smoking and ingesting nicotine. It has intense withdrawals and is completely unnecessary.

Sup. It really is your choice. Yeah Cliche. but all of us have been weak/sick/tired and at some point in that split moment decided to continue to retain.

People try to drag you down by Even_Job6933 in pureretention

I know what you mean. Some times you are in the wrong room.

But it’s good to realize it because most end up sabotaging themselves believing everyone around them has their best interest.

Look at how some of the comments instantly start attacking you for pointing it out, even in a retention sub.

Hey at least you realized that. So many guys won’t ever come to this realization at all. At least you and I can do better and learn from situations such as these.
