I agree with the premise that this place shouldn't be a hobby in itself, though I find it bizarre that you've written an essay to explain yourself. I'd also hope people aren't as invested in you as your post assumes. Good luck and farewell.
This isn't bad or hurtful this is actually a must step, you have to break away from these forums and the internet for a while to truly put your previous addiction behind you. You are absolutely right in doing this! constantly talking about this addiction and reading other posts will just trigger you again and again! you got this shit and its okay! best wishes! i moved on from the forums before but failed hard now i am back and doing this last ditch effort to beat pmo then move on for good without fucking up.. NOFAP WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU
Good luck to you TakingTheSteps. Leaving NoFap or any other porn addiction site is a GREAT thing. It means you can move on. Please take that as a major step up.
Aw man, who will I talk to about law & order svu now?! ahaha Ima miss you tho! I love the way you think, and your posts on here were always encouraging. I completely unerstand why your leaving and hope nothing but the best for you! #2 and #4 really hit home for me. Anywhozle can't wait to read your book! I'm gonna order it when I get paid
I'll miss you too, SVU buddy! ^_^ when Rollins And Carisi finally happen, you know I'll be thinkin of you
I'm very saddened that you are leaving us, @TakingTheSteps! You contributed much to the NoFap forums, both in quantity and in quality. And together with @TheWife, you brought a much-needed "womenly perspective" to our (for now, mostly testosterone-powered) discussions. I hope that we will nevertheless merit to read more of your thoughtful insights here from time to time. Wishing you (and your husband) much continued success in all aspects of your lives together -- both material and spiritual. Shalom!
It seems that you will need to recruit more females for more oestrogen-powered discussions among the mods & admin.
My track-record at successfully "recruiting females" is rather dismal. But I have full faith in @alexander -- especially now that he's a TV star!
Oh yes! Have you any news about how people outside of the US can view that programme he did with Matthew & others?
I know how it feels, I'm introverted too, sometimes we want to care much for everyone, but then we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, it's ok we're humans and humans have limits. We can't focus like an x-ray on every single thing. Good bye mrs steps. fly ... damn i have a weird feeling, weird weird... good bye ...
You're a very sweet and wise person. The few times I've talked with you have been highlights of my time here. I wish you all the best. You will be missed!
Thank you for your contributions to the community and for your very enthusiastic and appreciated support of what we're doing, @TakingTheSteps. Hope to see you around here from time to time, please stay in touch and let us know how you're doing. Sending good thoughts your way and wish you all the best.
I completely agree with the intent of your post and resignation. Nofap can be addictive in its own way. I look forward to getting good reports back from time to time about how you're living life to its fullest. Peace and blessings to you.
I'm glad to hear that you're taking a step forward(pun not intended). This place should work as a temporary halfway house for us in the first place. I wish you all the best.
It's hard to find something to say that that everybody else hasn't already said, but thank you so much for entering my life and being my AP these past few months. I'm really happy to see you "taking the steps" to improve your life, and making the choices that you need to without letting things hold you back. I know you'll do just fine, and we'll stay in touch. You got this
Here's my opinion. You are your own person, you shouldn't need to explain yourself to anyone here. If you want to detatch now from the forum, then that's great, nobody should judge you or assume anything of you because you are leaving. You are your own person and should do things freely whenever you want. Don't care about the people who are judging you or whatever, there will always be people who live other people's lives from within their own lives. Good luck to you @TakingTheSteps The forum is always here, just remember the doors are always open...both ways
Thank you beauty ^_^ Agreed, friend. Thanks for the advice. My main reason for explaining myself was because I recently became a mod, I didn't want anyone to think anything negative of the site by my leaving, if that makes sense. Also I just didn't want some of my friends here to be surprised or confused by my absence, and this was the easiest way to get it out there to everyone all at once.
Ahhh I see yes yes. I guess I just think a little differently to some. I believe in free will, and that people should be unquestionably spontaneous. But I forget sometimes people need the fine details in things. Coming from me though, I'm happy as long as your happy
