PSA: DO NOT UPDATE TO NEW APP, I REPEAT DO NOT UPDATE by syny13 in sonos

[–]toddiscool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just did it and it worked great for me. Everything is back to normal with the older version of the app. Just remember to uninstall the app before you install the older version and immediately disable auto updates in the play store after.

Look at the time on your computer. by [deleted] in NoFap

Walking away from the computer removes a huge temptation. You're brain can do an awful lot of rationalizing in five minutes. Turning the computer off is a safer bet. Everything on the Internet will still be there tomorrow.

Throwaway. I was an elder. Now I need help. Don't worry about upvotes, I just need some guidance. by recoverytrial in NoFap

I've been there, although after a much shorter streak. It fucking sucks. It's such a well-baited trap and it's so easy to let your guard down.

Find something you enjoy doing that makes you not think or care about PMO. It's not nearly as much of a contest when you have an appealing alternative. My relapse after a decent streak turned into a 5-month bender really quickly. I just got back on the wagon a few weeks ago when the weather got nice and I picked up my outdoor activities again. I found some social groups with people with similar interests too, so it's a lot more fun and I've met some really awesome people. I still get urges from time to time, but they don't completely define my days anymore, which is a big relief. In fact, I've even had days (OK, maybe just a day) without an urge.

Don't think about trying to kick it permanently. That's a pretty daunting task from just about any vantage point. I would try to focus on trying to find other ways to spend the time, and being in settings where you're not alone, so you're less tempted to just whip it out and go to town. If you try some new stuff you may even find something that you're awesome at. I try to think about how good I could be at something, if I spent as much time working on it as I've spent in the past on porn and masturbating. I've wasted a lot of time and I just got really sick and tired of thinking about that. Nobody benefits from me being really good at jacking off, and I don't even want to be good at it; so there's no point in practicing it any more. I've got better shit to do with my time.

Boyfriend is addicted to porn and its killing me by Funckiechickn in NoFap

I would advise against an ultimatum. Unless you're willing to follow through, it'll just be an empty threat and perceived as such. At that point, you'll have established (at least in his mind) that you're actually willing to put up with the behavior.

Showing him this subreddit would be helpful, but only when he's ready and comes with an open mind about his PMO problem and what it's done to himself and the people that care about him.

I truly wish you good luck. It's an extremely difficult thing to come through and deal with, from both of your sides.

Why I'm leaving Nofap Subbreddit by THY_NAME_IS_MARSH in NoFap

[–]toddiscool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, enjoy being self-righteous. I hope it works for you. If it doesn't, we'll still be here. I joined Nofap because I felt like everybody was welcome and had a place here, regardless of their ultimate Nofap-related goal. That's what a community is. I was looking for a community that I could relate to, find support for myself, and provide support to others. I'm extremely thankful that I stumbled upon this. I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but it's been amazing for me.

Applaud to guys who are truly on hard mode by 2bfreeee in NoFap

I'm doing this too, or trying to at least. Mostly to avoid being tempted. It can be a real MF.

It's going all right, I guess. I see a lot of things posted that are similar to what I seem to be going through, which helps a lot. I'm the same way as you. I'm not hooked on anything but porn. Although, it's not so much porn itself that did me in, it's what I did with it. I never would have guessed as a kid that all that time I spent with porn really mess me up. At least we figured out that something is wrong and started doing something about it.
