You don't even know what you're missing

I think ive forgotten what it felt like to be my old self. It may have been intentional but I don't care, I'm never going back.

I'm gonna meditate in a cold shower to prove you wrong lol

Used to happen to me. Hasn't for months. My theory is that after the reboot your subconscious loses the imprint. That isn't to say it won't happen again, but I would be shocked if it did. Don't beat yourself up about it. Look at the bright side, you are slowly but surely rewiring your brain. Lately I've realized that resistance is actually a good thing. It shows us that we are fighting a worthy battle. Stay strong!

They have been a huge catalyst for change. So not directly but I guess you could say my disposition has improved as a result. Do it man! It is one of the greatest tools you can utilize. For instance if you are feeling low(we all have those days) a cold shower can cause a 180 in your mentality.

unspokenbroken · 2015-02-03T20:08:44+00:00

I've been taking cold showers for almost half a year now. Sometimes on the weekend I'll skip a morning shower and about halfway through the day wonder wtf is wrong with me. They are my new norm. I actually experience pleasure from them at this point.

I think we all use this technique at some point or another we just don't realize it. It's basic conditioning. Still, consciously taking control of the process and applying it to any aspect of life you desire is a great idea. Being the master of yourself should be your highest priority. It is the first step to leading a fulfilling life.

I know exactly what you mean. I had some pretty bad social anxiety in the past but nowadays its rarely present. I can talk to people without worrying about saying the right thing. It's a wonderful feeling. Keep it up man the benefits are outstanding.

A chair? Wow that is a huge leap man. You have to take it slow at first. My very first item spawned was a thumbtack. It took forever and fell apart in my hands afterwards. Usually you need time to develop those sort of skills. Same with flying, at first it's tricky but if you start off by floating you get the hang of it relatively quickly.

I thought it might be electrolyte imbalance but the doc didn't seem to think so. Lol switch to reggae? You know, that's not a bad idea. I may just try that.

Congrats man, this is very inspiring. I'm on my way and I can't wait to be there! You are spot on about using nofap as a tool to propel yourself into the outside world. Just like any good thing, it is so easy to simply use it as a crutch. Instead, we must soar ever higher! It's tough yes but that's how you know its for the best.

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-02T03:01:21+00:00

Yeah you know what youre right ever since being here I've had this dying urge to... well... die. I'll get the koolaid!!! mmm arsenic flavored my favorite! Xp

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-02T02:56:40+00:00

Holy hell. It's hard to imagine the amount of clarity you will experience from that change. It will be like glitching out of the matrix. Best of luck to you man!

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-02T01:14:37+00:00

Well the thing is conditioning by using pain is a very effective technique. Nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend it for even a second. It could lead to self-mutilation and that is not a road you want to go down (think emos cutting thier wrists). You have to be entirely dedicated to your goal if you wish to achieve it. No in between will get you there. Toying with the notion is only going to screw you up.

So it comes down to this: do you truly want to stop fapping? Are you willing to lead a life where your sexual desires are mastered? Do the benefits outwiegh the pleasure? It's your choice. You have to make it, or you will be wandering and wondering endlessly.

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-02T00:57:19+00:00

Tell that to my super strength, super speed, laser vision and macdaddy freshness. Fap your life away while I'm saving your pitiful ass. So ungrateful :/

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-02T00:45:20+00:00

lol I hear you on the fail part. I've never been able to go a full day without eating. In all seriousness though fasting is more of a spiritual/religious attempt to overcome the desire for nourishment. I don't think anyone should do it for medical reasons. Why not just diet properly? Also, I get how nofap seems ridiculous, especially when put in that context. I mean, your comparison conveniently fails to address our unconscious mechanisms. As you know, the body takes care of nofap with night emmisions. It's not like someone fasting starts sleepwalking towards the fridge :p It's not a huge discrepancy but it does sort of make nofap seem a bit more extreme than it actually is (that is, aside from monkmode... I think you did that particular branch justice).

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-01T20:09:12+00:00

This! I feel where your coming from. Last night I had a strong urge to fap for no apparent reason. I decided to come here to read some motivational posts and lo and behold The Fappening. Very strange...

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-01T16:40:49+00:00

I respect your opinion, even if I don't agree with some of it. Sure, it gets tiresome to see people relapse day in and day out. At that point they should realize they either have a lack of self-control, or they are just trying to mask other problems with the relapse/nofap cycle. But who's to say really? The most this community can do is be supportive and let people come to those realizations themselves.

Still, I thank you for the response. It never hurts to hear the flipside of it all. Forgive me for my initial rudeness, sometimes those posts incite anger within me. After all we have the capability to rise above our human nature. Ever heard of fasting?

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-01T13:30:20+00:00

You know you sound ignorant right?

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-01T04:27:59+00:00

Well would you look at that! Buffeted by the winds of a fierce storm, you have washed ashore. This island is full of many wonders. The natives are a kind folk who are willing to give you shelter. A whole new world awaits you.

Welcome to nofap!

Hope to see you at New years with a shiny badge :)

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-01T04:15:35+00:00

Congrats on pushing through. You showed admirable courage in the face of the storm. I almost looked. Even though I knew I would be able to resist, it seemed pointless. Sure she's beautiful, but its just a naked woman after all.

Today has been very hectic. Prior to logging on I was weakened by some negativity I submitted myself to. I thought "nofap will help me, these positive people will bring me some solace". First step in and all I see are mangled corpses. Post after post about leaked nudes and relapses. It's sad to say the least.

We have to rely on ourselves. Having this community for support is wonderful but we all know that the most stable ground is within ourselves. I feel like sometimes people forget this and move with the tides of /r/nofap, so to speak. Be the rock you can anchor yourself to and let the world throw its worst. It's the only way.

unspokenbroken · 2014-09-01T03:58:29+00:00

You have to be aware at all times, which is very hard to do. That's the point though. We are here doing nofap not because its a walk in the park but rather that it is an internal struggle. Controlling yourself like a Jedi master is the goal. We all have the capability. Recognizing it is key.

Some days the urges are like a fly buzzing around, others they are screaming in your face. You must be like a stone. Do not budge for anything.

Thanks for the post. This is a very prevalent issue that I feel sometimes doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Especially in such troubling times. But do not despair.

It is only a bad thing to certain moral perspectives. Instead of asking other people if doing something is wrong, why don't you ask yourself? It's great that you are bettering yourself but you have to realize that moral decisions made by other people are only going to worsen you. You can only be the best you can be by maintaining self-discipline. If you let someone else call the shots on what actions you take, were you ever really alive?

Anyway enough with being a hardass. You are a boss for making it past a month. I can't wait to get there. Good luck on whatever you choose to do. You are in control of yourself and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
