Thanks for explaining why you posted your journals on here. I was beginning to wonder but I also gathered it was because of the reason you mentioned. Whatever helps you buddy. Keep up the good fight!
Thanks for understanding. It really did worked for me. We are all anonymous here, so there is no point that I will benefit in any other way by promoting myself. The only benefit I want from this platform is accountability which keeps me on track, hopefully my words would also do the same to some one else. So all of us move ahead in a progressive way. But there are rules of course, as a responsible and a literate I must follow them.
Since you are on a level which I aspire to achieve, can you please go through my ups downs and guide me to be on track. Please follow my journal and advice me in my struggle, your words can really be elevating for me. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...d-elevate-yourself.240120/page-2#post-2186301
This is a cool post. I guess that is not just sit here with nofap then woman come to you. Still need exercise and self mind improve together and become a better man
I know I'm a year late, but this has got to be the best nofap success story I've read. Especially the part she complimented you. I will read this post as often as I can, to motivate myself too.
Hey I am mostly attracted to this mindset. However few times have I reached it (and when I did, things sure did go PRETTY WELL). How do you think one can foster it? I am, right now, trying to get a better sleep, returning to an exercise routine, eating better and such, as a side note. And haven't touched any porn in I think almost a year. But I still have this really hard time just relaxing and enjoying without that much of a search for something more...
I think if you’ve feasted on porn longer than you have abstained, then it’s just a case of time. I too have almost reached my one year mark. In fact, I’m home alone right now focussing on self-studying online. It’s a miracle I’ve got this far without getting distracted by porn. So keep going. The longer you abstain, the more ‘the old you’ will weaken. You seem to be doing all the right things. Keep experimenting with other positive healthy habits and the longer you continue, the better you’ll get at not craving for more. I too used to crave for more, but that was just my body and subconscious mind being attached to binge watching and chasing a higher high.
I think so. Life feels less like an intense fire now, and more like of a constant flame. The ‘new you’ will of course feel different going forward. But think longterm, as up until now we’ve been accustomed to short-term gains (eat, sleep, porn, repeat). Imagine cutting out refined sugars forever. It’d be a struggle if you ate lots before, however cutting it out is better for you (even if it means never feeling that rush of sugar again). Hence you have to find sweet pleasures in other foods. The tastebuds won’t be the same, but you’ve got to adjust and embrace the new diet.
This is nice, and can be applied to many things. I find now, after a year or so of no porn (and also videogames, movies and music have lost almost all of its charm), that I have to actively search for new things to feel better and that to get pleasure from them is harder to get (so, forcing me A LOT to change). We may have been colectively attracted to easy gain and it may be a long path to get to a healthier normality. Thank you for your insight, I hope we all get better lives.
man your text was dope for my soul, literally... i had a few experiences about that in my journal but not like your, i can imagine that is not only with nofap, obiously is it but at the same time, how i read a couple posts ago you said you are keeping yourself cool and work in your self-control. that is so nice. my question is what are you doing? thanks for your attention my dear friend all the best for you
Thank you. What am I doing for self-control? I suppose I’m trying to focus on the task at hand- depending on what I’m doing. I’m trying not to over eat on crap (Christmas excluded) and push myself to keep active. Self-awareness helps with self-control and I generally keeping mindful of how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking so I can catch myself out when I have urges. Take control of other areas of your life, not just nofap.
Guys, when you are in long NoFap streaks, I noticed girls just stop looking at your physical aspect, but just focus on the aura and the vibe you give off. They start to be bewitched by your hormones and just fall in love with you. I think this has its origin in the prehistorical world when we still had some instincts and animal behaviours. Women stored those instincts and still can feel your testosterone, they will be attracted to you but they won't know why. That's why sometimes we see average guys with a beautiful chick next to them. That's because of their hormones, I firmly think. That's why NoFap is the key, the final hack for life. There's something behind our human beings no one has found. Keep abstaining, these are the real superpowers, the biological ones.
