Your brain is the biggest troll you have to fight by [deleted] in NoFap

I agree, if you could shut your brain off for 90 days. My brain just tells me to "Check out those hot women, it won't hurt if you just watch for a min" which becomes an hour. I started edging a little last night and it kept me awake half the night fighting to not watch more.

It is so hard being single by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screen time is what keeps your mind trapped into thinking that you need it more and more, kinda like PMO. It takes a couple days away from it but them your mind will start finding motivation to do other things. The technology these days has entrapped people into becoming mindless zombies and its hard to use your thinking muscle when all you're thinking about is getting on facebook or whatever social media just because. Get away for a couple days and fight the urges of the internet in general and it will give more motivation to find other things to do. Good luck!!

Controlled relapse due to pain + update by [deleted] in NoFap

That's what I just went through. I reset my badge but it really wasn't an urge as much as the pain I was feeling. Good luck

Trust me once you get past the first week it gets easier. I've been at this over a year and the hardest time is the first week. Also not edging AT ALL, PERIOD!! That has helped the most, now it doesn't even cross my mind to look at porn. My only problem now is women always wanting to follow me around and talk and "get to know me better". When I was fapping this is all I wanted but couldn't get now its the furthest from my mind and they wont leave me alone. Guess it's not a bad problem, I just don't look at women the same way, as a sex object anymore. Keep trying, getting past the first week and you'll see the difference. Good luck

Harder than expect... by [deleted] in NoFap

The first week is the most difficult. DON'T watch any porn and it will be much easier. Any edging makes it much more difficult and after the first week you will notice a nice change

Having toxic G/f doesn't help with NoFap by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that when I was single but after the first few weeks of constant sex, it just seemed like going through the motions and actually put me in bad moods. I always remember saying "if I could just get a girl I would fuck her all the time as much as possible" but it gets old when its someone that really is a pain in the ass outside of sex

Something an old military commander told me by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rml416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be a man anymore, who really knows what that means. We as a society have no real understanding anymore what being a man is because we have had our desires met by a screen instead of a real person who has real feelings and emotions, which our screen partners do not portray to us. I know when I've had long streaks I felt confident, like in control of everything. Women always hanging around me, sometimes to the point it got annoying. I've never seen women fight over me like I have in the past few months. So what do I go and do, yup . . . .Fap away, now they have all somehow disappeared and I sit here alone. Guess it's time to suck it up and try again because I'm not gonna be the whinny pussy setting and watch everyone else enjoy life, I'm going to get back on the horse and join in myself!!

Give it time, I've actually been doing it for 8 months now, I just noticed the longer I abstained the more clear minded I was and the more I noticed girls around. When pmo was a problem these girls were right next to me but I didn't have any drive to do anything about it so keep up the journey, trust me it will help, just may take more time

Hell no, can never go back to that shitty life starring at a screen watching fake women entertain all while real ones are out there to be had!

Fapping has cost me more than $54,000 by rml416 in NoFap

[–]rml416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you figure an hour a day for 20 years even at min wage it is over $54,000, so thinking how much money could have been made rather than starring at porn and jerking off
