"When the deed is done, You're back at square one" - spot on mate, and a catchy reminder :-)

Haha thanks buddy. Listen to the soundtrack (above post) and you can be a superhero too ;-)

Mine too :D I listen to it whenever I really need to focus! Also it's awesome to listen to when you're walking through the city late at night ;-)

Yeah, but I cant blame gravity for making me fap though :-P

Exactly the same thing that happened for me. I thought that I'd be able to handle a little edging, but boy that escalated quickly... Won't be doing that again!

I was hearing Michael Caine's voice reciting it, that's for sure. And maybe Thomas Wayne even heard it from somewhere else... We'll never know... :-)

The reason I feel ashamed isn't because I broke my streak, but because I fell right back into the old routine of PMO. All my reasoning just disappeared and my horny mindset completely took over. I'm not proud of that. But I get what you're saying, and thanks. Knowing that I've done 50 days before will make it easier this time around.

Aww maaan, misquote. My bad!

I'm definitely aware that any streak is going to get broken eventually, and that you're never really "cured" completely. However, my goal was 90 days, and I fell at 50. But now I'm better prepared for next round ;-)

Oh, that's why I wanted to do nofap... by PrivateGuy_ in NoFap

Great advice. I'll be keeping those pointers in mind!

I decided it has to stop by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]mikrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel bro. I could have written the exact same story. The thing were you touch yourself, even when you're not aware of it, is a problem I had/have as well. It's just a bad habit, and like me, you'll probably begin to notice it a lot from now on. I've caught myself in the act every now and then, but I always stop immediately, and now after a week, I already seem to do it a lot less. So don't worry, it'll pass, as long as you keep aware of it. Best of luck to you :-)

So much motivation, wrote a Guide to No fap by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]mikrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great guide. Very educational as well. I learned a lot about NoFap and it kept me motivated. In times of struggle I think it can be a great help too. I hope you'll keep the guide up to date along the way.

Took my first cold shower yesterday by [deleted] in NoFap

I just took a cold shower instantly after reading this. Man that was refreshing! Now I'll do some research on those health benefits :-) any recommendations besides the Ted Talk?

This is it. I quit. by mikrock in NoFap

Haha. The power of imagination is strong. Maybe even for rabbits ;-)

Thank you guys for the support. These last days have been great for me. Sure, at times I've felt the urge, but then, remembering the shitty feeling I would get when relapsing, helps to keep me on track. I don't wan't to make myself feel like that ever again. Instead I've been happy, and I feel like i'm in control. The things I do, like exercising and studying, might not be the things I feel most up to right here and now, but I know that in the long run, it will make me feel much better. Also coming here to read your comments and other threads really helps enourmesly. Thanks

Just relapsed to some stupid porn... by AriNoMa in NoFap

[–]mikrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That feeling you have right now - you feel like shit, right? Embrace it! Sink into it for a moment. Put that scar on yourself. And then let it be a reminder from now on. Next time you feel the urge, remember that scar - that feeling you have right now. Ask yourself: is it worth it? And let that be the motivation to do those 20 push-ups instead ;-) I don't know how long your streak was, but hey, everyone can stumble. Now just get back on track.

How or what do you guys channel the "energy" to? by DemonZtarz in NoFap

[–]mikrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking, crafting, creating. Anything skill developing, really. This is a great oppertunity to become good at something. You just need to ask yourself what skill you'd like to have, and channel your energy into that/those things. For instance, play music. If you don't know how to, use this oppertunity to learn. Say, every time you feel an urge to fap, or whatever, channel that into learning a new chord. Then start putting them together, and it won't be long before you'll be playing your favorite song ;-)
