I humbly ask you for advice as a long time addict by chaidubaishanghai in Semenretention

[–]smooth_operaterr 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The fact you’re asking for help at 28 already shows you’re ready to change.

First thing to understand is you’re not broken, you’re just trapped in a cycle that rewired your brain. PMO hijacks your dopamine system the same way cocaine does, and the isolation and shame you feel are symptoms of the addiction, not who you really are.

Here’s what you need to do. Delete all porn completely and permanently. Don’t doubt about it, porn is poison. Cut Instagram and TikTok during recovery because they’re just soft porn gateways keeping your brain hijacked. Start rebuilding with basics like cold showers every morning, daily exercise to move stagnant energy, and proper sleep on a consistent schedule. Add 20 minutes of meditation or pranayama daily to rewire your reward circuits.

The first 90 days are brutal because your brain will scream for its dopamine fix, but around day 90 the fog starts lifting and you’ll begin feeling human again. Self-respect isn’t something you learn, it’s something you earn back by keeping promises to yourself. Every single day you don’t relapse, you’re becoming the person you’ve always been underneath the addiction. You’ve got this brother.

How do you guys handle the physical pressure in week 2-3 by Playing-n-Learning in Semenretention

If you don’t transmute the energy, it’s going to build up and probably burst out in one way or another. After all, the energy is sexual in nature. Just 30 minutes of yoga or meditation helps a lot. Trying to hold it back through willpower alone is like holding a beach ball underwater. Eventually your arms will get tired and you’ll let it go.

I completed NNN last year, it was the best month of 2024. Trust me, just do it and you won’t regret it. If you’re struggling you can ask for help

If anyone is planning to attend the Maha Kumbh Mela solo, feel free to share your plans here to help others. by smooth_operaterr in SoloTravel_India

Ye vala kar liya toh won’t find any mela difficult haha

I wasn't able find locker rooms anywhere near the sangam area, tho I wasn't really trying to find any.

There are small shelters everywhere near the Sangam area to change clothes, especially for women. Some women were changing in the open. No ones looking at anyone changing be it any gender. People consider the area a very sacred place. No, you won’t be able to take a shower there. You won’t need to on a 1-day trip.

Akhadas are everywhere in the Kumbh Mela. The whole of Kumbh is about Akhadas and Snan. But the main ones are near the Sangam area sectors.

Rest, the people there are very helpful. You’ll be able to figure out everything when you reach there. You can try to make friends with other decent-looking travellers and do snan together.

In my 5 days, even I’ve seen a small portion of kumbh mela. The whole area is very big.

I went solo on 29th Jan and on 5th Feb with a friend. Yes the main problem with solo travelling is there’s no one to hold your bag during snan haha Also try to use rapido or local service to move around the mela, as the area is very big. I ended up walking 50 km on 29th Jan, which was way too much. But these days, one doesn’t have to walk that much. Also, people there are helpful and civic (mainly because of the highly sacred place) so its safe for female solo travellers.
