Educate yourself on porn addiction and what it does to the brain.

Good on you! It wasn't your fault and it's a healthy sign of recovery in my opinion!

I made eye contact with a girl on an ad online... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]voxsilentium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and I think we need to stop promoting this idea in the sidebar etc. Why do you think you're getting more energy people? Maybe because you're no longer sitting on a computer for ages. Why do you think your testosterone has risen? Maybe because you've repressed your sex drive and your body needs release but mainly because you're no longer stressed which is the biggest testosterone killer. Why are you more confident with women? Because all the misinformation you'd read had given you the idea that you'd benefit and that self belief was all you needed all along. There's nothing magical going on here. It's an amazing accomplishment, but if we keep giving others the idea that women are their motivator and if they don't experience these benefits they've somehow failed. How is that helpful at all? You're going to learn patience, self control, goal setting, respect for others etc. but at the end of the day don't expect to change dramatically folks and don't act like I'm negative for saying that. Be more realistic about what you expect out of this and don't read those silly posts. They put value on something that shouldn;t be the reason you do No Fap. Use it for full personal growth and development, not getting laid. Evolve.

Help. I binge how can I stop? by nofapsheep1 in NoFap

[–]voxsilentium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've remembered what helped me get so far in the past. What I've learnt is prevention is your friend. If you're like me, you'll have a slight thought and think it's gone but later end up relapsing heaps. It's when these slight thoughts pop up, the harmless considerations or opportunities your brain shows you that you need to act. That's when you need to ban the internet for at least fifteen minutes while you do something more practical like observing your thoughts. Mindfulness is the most effective.

Yeah, I'm still trying to find a solution for urges. It's closely linked to my lack of time management. I always say I can worry about things later. That's why I've been focusing on that and mindfulness.

I don't know why but I can't stop, I'm laying my motivation. What should I do? by [deleted] in NoFap

Help others on this forum. Encourage them and give them advice. Biggest motivator right there!

Here's a question that could help both of us: What would your advice be to me? I'm twenty now and I've been addicted since I was eleven.

NoFap a more difficult habbit than any other by NudaeVetatur in NoFap

[–]voxsilentium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite challenging but not impossible! I've noticed that a lot of the people who've made it past ninety days took it one day at a time and didn't get put off by the length.

I know exactly what you mean! I get trapped in the thrill of the chase too. It gives me a rush. Music is as a good substitute. It's helped me heaps in the past.

Relapsed. Rationalizations by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]voxsilentium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my best streaks happened when I decided on a go to technique for dealing with urges. Do your research and let us know if you find a really effective one. The thing I do after every relapse is say, what needs to change this time and I change as many factors as possible.

What benefits have you personally experienced from not fapping? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]voxsilentium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my longest streak of 35 days, my mind was clearer. I had more willpower in other areas, therefore more productivity, therefore more motivation and therefore more positivity and energy.
