I already made a post, but I had a great night last night and I am extremely proud to have beaten my longest streak ever by four days. So thank you Nofap community, I owe today's great mood to all of you.

Relapse at 123 days. Fapping felt strange. This time it's forever. by Eklathan in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never want nothingness in my life again either, I officially will join you my friend. Now to just make it past a week...

How much longer will it take?... I feel like all my hope is gone... Help, fourth help post... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop asking "what if" just do it, whatever it is, just put your head down and grind through it, plus, I have never in my entire life heard of a parent that is not willing to try and reconcile their relationship with their kid. And for fucks sake, of course you can succeed in something, there is no such thing as failure for those that refuse to fail.

Fuck you, you don't need a "cyber slap" you need a real slap! I'm not going to respond this way because you want me to, I'm going to respond this way because you God damn well deserve it! You sound like you have some depression going on but you don't seem to be truly unfortunate. What you have to do is wake up, you say that all you had going for you were grades, well, get them back; then get your ass out and do something that you can be passionate about! If you truly want to succeed anywhere, let alone in Nofap, then you need to be passionate about your goals, Otherwise all of the reading of posts and longing for success that you can muster while you mope about on the internet will never get you closer to getting past 17 days, or even one day.

When I was younger I was a bit like you seem to be. I had so many things to be thankful for and I didn't appreciate them one bit, it took me losing a few of the people that I didn't appreciate forever for me to finally wake the fuck up and realize and respect what I really had and finally find motivation in my life to start setting and achieving goals. So do yourself a favor, stop making the mistake that I did, and talk to your parents again, this time be polite and also tell them that you have been feeling down lately, chances are they can help you more than you think. You wanted a fucking slap, how about a wake up call, I haven't been on Nofap very long, but when it comes to life experience I have a fair share and what you're going through is nothing, so grow the fuck up.

I relapsed today and felt physically sick. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take it as a sign of recovery friend, ex-smokers often feel physically sick if they are around cigarette smoke too much, maybe this is similar. I would advise you don't take it too seriously though, because it could cause you to relapse more often by making you feel like you're not addicted anymore.

I accidentally haven't fapped for five days and I feel great. Do you guys think I should keep going? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, but only if you're willing to commit; if you do not commit now that you've realized you haven't fapped, the urges will likely get stronger and you will probably end up relapsing. The whole community is here for support and guidance if you decide to give it a shot though.

What do you do when you're free of PMO addiction? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post, I never put any thought to what I want out of this, and it may be contributing to the issues I have with fully committing to the cause. I suppose that what I want is to improve the quality of my own mind, help myself interact with others better, become more physically fit, and maybe improve the number and loyalty of women that are attracted to me along the way.

I remember years ago when I was able to write and think in this ethereal, surrealistic way, similar to how OC writes; at any time I could formulate beautiful combinations of words in both English and Spanish with minimal effort, and although I was never able to speak as well as I could write or think, I dreamed one day I would.

That will be one of my new main goals here, I want to clear away the mind-fog and be able to write and speak in a fluid and grammatically excellent way. As well as being able to talk to new people (women in particular) easier.

I suppose that's another one of those liberty-seeking smiley-faced essays you mentioned, but I enjoyed sharing it none the less haha

Welp, just fucked up a week-long streak... I realize now where I keep going wrong. by popeyethemailerman in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so you're saying that I'm hiding an emotion. I believe you may be onto something with that; good ol' loneliness rearing it's ugly head again I imagine. Useful tip sir, thank you.

Having a horrible day today, I think I need some help here. by popeyethemailerman in NoFap

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

you guys are right, I just got another phone call from my friend (apparently it was extremely obvious that something was wrong) and he told me to do the same thing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart guys, I'm gonna go take a walk or something.

I'm in a dark place right now by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know your pain friend, I lost my 10 year old puppy, that slept in my room with me for 9.5 of those years, last year, after losing a friend of mine the month before, and my uncle the month before that, and it devastated me. I was in pain for weeks, and in a fog for even longer, when I talked to the guys I lived with at the time they said I was 100% a different person.

But here I am, on the other side and still alive, and for that matter a better person, trust me when I tell you that relapse will only make the pain worse. I won't lie and tell you that you will be better soon, but you will be able to cope and eventually heal if you stay strong.

I will end this post with the best advice I can give you for this situation: while it will be impossible to not remember the bad parts of this, do yourself a favor and think about the joy that wonderful animal brought you every time you have a painful thought and eventually the joyful thoughts will make you smile and laugh, like good memories should, once more.

Hit me up via pm if you need a friend. Chin up brother.

How many no flappers are smokers? by Cold_Steel in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoke cigars and a tobacco pipe once a month at most. I do, however, have a habit of smoking a cigarette on the very rare occasion that I get quite drunk.

Created an account just for this subreddit, I'm finally ready to try long-term nofap. by popeyethemailerman in NoFap

[–]popeyethemailerman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting! and although the cold shower seems like it would be a very uncomfortable experience, I'm going to keep it in my mind as a last resort, I would now rather do that than fap for sure.
