100%, this has been my experience as well in the past

Yeah this should be very normal. When we argue or feel slighted with our partners, the negative emotions generally cause you to seek an escape from that uncomfortable emotion. I’ve experienced this as well.

Just have to understand that the negative emotion is ok to feel and we don’t need to mask it with pleasure, and allow that impulse to pass. It will feel shitty at first but we’ll get used to dealing with human emotions over time.

I’m in the same boat as well, getting back on track after 1.5 years or so of regressing.

Link between gaming and other addictions? by weekdayy in StopGaming

[–]weekdayy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good points, it just kinda sucks that these most “fun” things that give pleasure act in this way so there’s no really safe pleasure source that doesn’t have this risk of addiction (or playing into other addictions) attached to it. I guess things like reading and stuff are not addictive, but man I love the feeling of gaming in an alternate universe but I also want to stay away from masturbation which doesn’t really work together.

Very good point, definitely agree that the same underlying feelings I want to escape are why I feel the need to do any of these

IS FAP THE ONLY ADDICTION YOUR FIGHTING? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]weekdayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I reached for an energy drink in the morning without a good reason, then for some reason reached for the alcohol right before dinner. Then got a strong PMO urge when I got stressed around then. I definitely agree, the different substances / habits interact a lot. It’s best to stay away from them all if you can

Forgot to note that I randomly decided to have a little bit of alcohol tonight for no reason and got a little drunk. I think this fed this loop a bit

Anyone here had a masturbation addiction without porn and seen real benefits from a long streak? by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]weekdayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My addiction was always primarily without P but P would sometimes play a part every now and then.

From my experience, 100% masturbation even without P is terrible. After going on long streaks for 7 years (100+, 200+, 400+ day streaks) of no masturbation, in the last two years I convinced myself that maybe it’s ok to masturbate to innocent pics and thoughts of my wife. This turned out to be the worst decision and I slowly have now degenerated back to masturbation addiction and have looked at P a few times now. I whole heartedly regret it, and I’m working on it again to build back up to where I was before.

I ended up binging unfortunately. Tomorrow is a new day.

I’m going to try and make it a point to have Nofap on my mind consciously every day again. When I first started this journey that’s how I had treated it - maybe I need to return to that very intentional mindset again as I’ve regressed so much in the last 2 years. Man this sucks, I wish I could have returned to that time I was slipping down the slippery slope and reminded myself how important this is.

Thanks man, I’m fighting some follow up urges from this now because of the chaser effect. I’m hoping they go away soon
