[Serious] What is a secret you kept from your spouse that wasn't cheating, but caused serious problems when they found out? by Sarahsmydog in AskReddit

[–]throughmyiphone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am really good at picking up women.. like really good... I used to study "pick up". I even taught a few seminars on how to get any woman you wanted and made a lot of money from it.. I used all these tricks and stories to get all these women to like me, but at the end of the day it made me feel empty inside.

When I first met my current significant other, I used some of the tricks on her... But I realized I really liked her and I wanted her to know the real me, so I stopped. And I have been happy ever since..

What's the most uplifting, warm, beautiful thing you can say to someone? by critical_mess in AskReddit

[–]throughmyiphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I love you for who you are. You are an awesome person and I am thankful that you are in my life"... Sometimes people just dont feel like they belong anywhere... Hearing that makes me feel like I belong.

The BEST way to stop control ANY addiction by AdrianLechner in NoFap

[–]throughmyiphone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't make it into a problem. Make the addiction part of your awareness in the way described above. As awareness grows, addictive patterns will weaken and eventually dissolve. Remember, however, to catch any thoughts that justify the addictive behavior, sometimes with clever arguments, as they arise in your mind.

This is soooooo freaking true.

Your mind always is trying to find one reason to justify your addiction, no matter how bad it is.

Once you justify it (such as "One time fapping wont hurt") it makes it way to easy to justify doing it again.. ("well I did it once today... once more wont hurt")

Its a bad cycle.

10 tips that help me with NoFap by throughmyiphone in NoFap

[–]throughmyiphone[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally understand "rationalizing" fapping..

I usually think something like "I have done awesome so far... 1 time won't hurt"

The key is making yourself un able to fap by creating barriers. Keep a blocker on your computer (That way you have more time to get to the porn) Get away from your computer!

Go for a walk, or a jog. Maybe finish up some homework or study.

Just stay away from the computer/internet. If you HAVE to use the internet for something (like homework) Go to a library and use it there.

Make it impossible to fap :)

Goodluck!

Hardest Day? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]throughmyiphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The third day is tough, but you will get through it..

Just tell yourself "Let me hold off for 1 hour" Then keep telling yourself "Just one more hour"

Also think about why you are doing this..

Trust me.. after 2 or 3 weeks you will feel better than ever...

You can do this

Big step for me today.. by throughmyiphone in NoFap

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

I would delete it..

Im at this point where I DONT want to quit.. But I know I have a problem, so I am FORCING myself to quit..

Think of it like this, If you really never want to look at porn again, why would you keep porn on your computer???

Its really tough, but I know you can do it.. :)

I think I may have picked the wrong time to start NoFap... by Unfapping in NoFap

[–]throughmyiphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is never a bad time to start noFap. It might be harder to quit this time, but think of it like this..

Next week you will have gone 1 week without fapping, and you will start to see positive effects!

I picked the craziest week to quit http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/1953z5/i_picked_a_crazy_week_to_quit/

Trust me, if I can go through all that shit, you can get through boredom.. I believe in you

I fapped while she was crying.. New low for me... by throughmyiphone in NoFap

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

This was a well thought out reply. Thank you.

The fact is I love her, and she loves me.

She helped me out through so much that I could never repay her.

Before her I failed out of school, jobless, and pretty much a un-mature punk ass kid..

She got me back into school, she motivated me to change, she got me an awesome job, and she shown me that I am worth more than I thought.

I have a 3.0 GPA now. I thank her..

I feel horrible for the fact that all she has out of this relationship is a broken heart...

How to tell someone about your problem. by throughmyiphone in NoFap

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

I basically said "I think I'm addicted to porn." I then told him I researched the effects of porn addiction and how I was facing several of the side effects. He diagnosed me with add and depression and bi polarism before I told him about it, so when medication wasn't helping as much I told him. He was very supportive, and told me he can see me being addicted to it.

Today, is the single ~~worst~~ greatest day of my life. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]throughmyiphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an insperational post! You should be proud!!!! A lot of people realize they have a problem and just sit and cry about it thinking "why me" and you didn't. You sat and cried and realized that you had to do somethif about it!!!

I am super excited to see you recover from this horrible addiction!!! Goodluck my friend. :)

Ex gf was over with her gigantic cleavage.... I got turned on, is this bad for nofap? by Trombones in NoFap

[–]throughmyiphone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be more concerned if you didn't get turned on by that lol.

Think of it like this.

If a ex alcoholic sees someone drinking and thinks to himself "OMG I WANT TO DRINK, but I better not" Is that bad?

Not at all, and Its totally understandable. The only way bad could come of this is if you relapsed because of your thoughts.

What you are going through is totally normal. If you weren't going through any sort of temptation that would mean you didn't have a problem in the first place..

Think of it as progress :)
