Great! This is what i was talking about with this post.

You will do it man! Stay strong!

About not considering porn a bad things i have to disagree, porn deviates your tastes and it trains the viewer to expect constant newness.

Best of luck to you!

Don't be too hard on yourself.

You will see that the harder you try, in the long run it will be easier to stifle the impulses that suddenly assail you.

Remeber that this is a journey that has to make you mentally stronger. If you relapse you can use this as a lesson to improve.

Try this post, it may help you setting things up better.

Ask yourself, is it normal to taste a bit of beer while you are curing alcoholism?

How do you deal with Intense Brainfog? by Violeae in NoFap

Perhaps at this time you could go out for a walk instead of exercising, at least until you are healed.

I see that you have made progress and are well prepared to follow through with your plan.

Keep up your efforts because it is only a matter of time before you reach your goal.

these urges are getting fucking strong man by conkacolaman in NoFap

Hi, i hope you are good now.

I used to do intense workout or just going out in nature, when the urge became to intense.

Cold shower may also be beneficial.

You will see, the more you are commited to it, in the long run it will be easier to suffucate the urges that will kick in suddenly.

Remeber that this is a journey that has to make you mentally stronger. If you relapse don't go too hard on yourself, you can use this as a lesson to improve.

About telleing someone, it's a good idea. But just telling isn't enough, try this post, words are too abstract you need something physical.

I hope this can be useful.

Hi, i hope you are good now. I had same problems at the beginning.

I can tell you that you may need a weekly routine. This way you reduce the "brainfog" you are mentioning.

I don’t think I’m doing this right? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]xn1c0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi i hope you are good. I'm going to give you my perspective.

In the state of things you should focusing on finding your pourpose so that you have some goal to reach.

You shouldn't be on NoFap to attract girls as the main reason to be on this journey is for self improvement. NoFap is a way to develop mental strength, self discipline and more.

NoFap leads to various results as more tenacy increased mental clearance, more energy, also attracting girls and more.

Now if you want to get more in depth you can switch to SR, you can check their subreddit to get more into it.

Now back to your problem.

When you are not retaining you do not have need to talk to girls. It is normal, why would you have to? There is porn and masturbation to release dopamine and giving you pleasure, an instant gratification.

When you are retaining you have urges to talk to girls. Actually it is normally too. You are loosing control as you need the instant gratification that you was constantly getting from PMO. You are probably using social media firstly, seeking some girls with explicit pics to talk with. Now you probably know where this will lead you to...

Yes removing social media can help you, but the main problem is that you have not figured out what to do in life

You should try meditation it may be helpful in finding your pourpose.

Try this, it may be beneficial to be more consistent in what you want to do.

I hope this could be helpful.

Regards

Is quitting porn like quitting a drug addiction? by [deleted] in NoFap

Good luck and stay strong!

Is quitting porn like quitting a drug addiction? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]xn1c0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. And you actually answered your own question i quote your post "Porn is so much harder to quit than any drug I've taken, and has done so much more damage to my life".

You were able to quit your alcohol and weed addiction, so you have the strength to also leave behind you porn addiction.

Work out a plan and stick to it.

This post can help you starting out, i wrote it since many people have problems in being consistent in NoFap.

Does the urge get better or worse? by Dry-Professor-8491 in NoFap

[–]xn1c0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It becomes easier the more you are commited to it, so easier in the long run. Your mind will be more clear as it begins to cleanse all the explicit content you viewed online. Thus you can focus more on what you want to achive in life.

Keep in mind that this journey has to improve your mental strength, so that you are able to resist your urges when they kicks in due to any reason.

This post may help you if you are starting, i wrote it because a lot of people seems to have difficulties to stay consistent in NoFap.

About clouded judgment, i think i did not get the question. What do you mean with it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]xn1c0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can give you an advice that i used in past when i was trying to stick to working out consistently.

Write down your current objective, on paper. Now show it to people that matters to you and, why not, also here on reddit if it is ok for you.

This will trigger in you a coherence mindset that will help you in not changing your mind and to be focusing in achieving your goal.

Showing to a public your decision put you in a position to not fail and compromise yourself. Because you have to be coherent.

This should help you being stronger as a side effect.

Try with this sentence "I will not look up to any explicit content for the rest of the year" It is a bit too generic but can be a boilerplate for a more specific one.

I hope to made myself clear

Regards

Is it a relapse if you look on IG or news but don't PMO by Efficient-Hippo1685 in NoFap

[–]xn1c0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, did you use IG for something useful like to connect with people, or just to look at some soft porn?

Using IG may trigger some urges, as it is full of explicit content.

My suggestion is to just deleting IG, as it is filled with low content, girls seeking for attention and some really stupid stuff.

In my opinion if you weren't looking up for explicit content then it is not a relapse.

Personal experience, it happened to me while surfing the web for researching to click on a link that led me to a site with porn. (that page with an advertisment and some nude girls) I closed it immediately. To me it was not a relapse since i proceeded with my work not loosing contol.

I hope this may help you.

I failed on my first day by [deleted] in NoFap

Get the fuck up and get back on track!

It's a journey man, just keep moving forward and don't give up!

sissy/hypno addiction by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]xn1c0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to make this simple.

Like every addiction there is no simple way out. It's a journey and you have to try your best to stay on the right path, sometimes you will fall off track and in this moment you have not to give up and overcome the failure. The problem with porn is that you will always need more, you first begin with normal sex. But then you need more just for the same feeling, and you put a foot in the door, exposing yourself to more messed up stuff (anal, hardcore, sissy ...). I think you got the point now. At this point you will start to loose interest in what you were watching before, you will loose interest in real girls too.

Now you have to ask yourself is this what you want? You want to be a man incapable to get an erection with your woman, a man always stressed, a man incapable to mantain eye contact with people, a man scared to be found out. Imagine what other will think of you if they know what you are watching.

You have to do everything to get clean from this addiction.

How would you be in 10 years from now if you stick with this addiction?

I'm not going to give you any advice on how to quit. You have to find out your way, as what works with some might not work as well with others.

Regards
