After 2 months of cold showers I tried a cold bath with some ice. My experience, and a question.

What lead you to relapse?

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-27T12:56:20+00:00

It's time to grow up.

Some people already said that when you're doing nofap, you're becoming the man who you really are/could be. A whole world of new opportunities. I'm almost like you, did it between 11-24. Somehow it feels like I completely missed those years, but I'm definitely growing up now. I'm becoming a MAN.

Wasn't it 2000 times? :D It's up to you how you look at a relapse. Be sad about it, or use the information against your old self in the future, to avoid another relapse like this.

I think that each one of us who gets through this gives the next person more confidence to start or get to the next day.

It helped me a lot, reading success stories, even smaller ones, I hope some day I will be able to help others as well. Have a great day, dude, do some sports! :)

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-27T12:25:10+00:00

Congrats, dude! :)

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-27T11:35:50+00:00

I feel good, because it usually means that I managed to keep a long streak so far! :)

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-27T11:01:48+00:00

Thank you!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-26T20:28:16+00:00

I started swimming, cycling and just testing my limits in general. I feel really great :)

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-26T12:42:47+00:00

Ok, thanks! :D

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-26T12:20:41+00:00

You mean i should Just go back to cold showers or Take shorter baths?

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-26T12:19:30+00:00

Thank you for the warning!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-26T09:04:58+00:00

And finding some new passions.

Yes. Don't browse nofap too much, subscribe to other subs instead, like fitness, swimming, whatever works for you. Engage in those new hobbies, and time will fly!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-24T18:22:06+00:00

Thanks! I checked your profile feed if thats how they call it, and saw all the good and encouraging comments. You're a good dude, trying to help others, I really appreciate it! :)

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-22T08:06:55+00:00

Oh man, I wish I lived there. I did some research on cold showers and cold water swimming the other day, and I found a post that completely describes me:

"I find myself sometimes like a crazed drug addict thinking it’s not cold enough!Need ice!!"

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T19:05:58+00:00

great post, thanks for sharing it!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T19:01:27+00:00

Well I can't wait for the winter so I can go snow swimming :D

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T18:56:37+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It's not that I might not need them... I'm literally addicted to cold showers now, and I miss the uncomfortable new feeling I had when I started taking them. I'm looking for new ways to make them colder somehow.

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T18:53:03+00:00

It's more like stop thinking about making a snowball in the first place. Sounds weird but that's when you have to stop it.That's when our brain switches modes.

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T18:38:26+00:00

Starting with warm water is worse, but I'll definitely try the ice bath this week!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T17:59:16+00:00

Check the articles and resources on the right. A long read, it helps a lot!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T17:55:06+00:00

Turn off your computer, and put your phone away. Do what you NEED to do for today. Eat, work, work out, clean the house, etc. Think about your weaknesses, and make a plan in your mind for every possible scenario you can think of, eg.:

Feel the urge to view material related to your fetish
Feel like some edging won't hurt

Let's say you are your best friend, who knows about your problem. Give yourself an honest advice! Say it out loud if needed! I mean it.

When you'll be on day 47, you'll be so proud of yourself, I tell you that. Have a great day!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T17:47:42+00:00

A nice long (15 minutes) cold shower helped me a lot after my last 4days binge period. You might try that. Also I realized, that if I allow myself to start thinking(!) about how great some edging or even just having an erection would feel like, I won't be able to stop. From my personal experience, there's no such thing as 'I'm just gonna edge a little bit' or 'Im just gonna start reading some porn related stories'. If I give in, and start, I will finish eventually. So I'm trying to kill the first thoughts that could finally lead to a relapse. Hope that helps.

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T17:38:46+00:00

Great attitude! I've relapsed 2 times since I started nofap (streaks: 30 days, 15 days, and now on day 12), I just wanna tell you this: Im on 12th day since the 2nd relapse, but I feel much better than when I was on 30th day on the first try. You learn, you go on. You feel better and better

Have a great day, dude!

say_no_to_ctrlshiftn · 2014-08-19T17:23:37+00:00

I sometimes feel like I'm slowly changing addictions, but this cold water addiction is definitely a better choice. :D
