Before i knew about this i was a pathetic addict to porn, after many failed attempts i have made it, this is what i feel now. First: a huge chunk of bad stuff is taken out of your life when you dont need to get your fix, thats the best thing, you dont want it anymore because the brain has been rewired to fully known how toxic it is by comparing the cause and effect of doing it and not doing it. Second: for me it opened the doors to the rest of my life, if you can understand that, dont know if anyone feels the same, like i was stuck and now i can move on. Third: it helps you being honest with yourself and for me it was facing my problems head on, after i completed the 90 days i started psychotherapy treatment to fix my brain and emotions even more because i have more issues. super powers: in that point i dont feel the need to put this too much because you feel like a different person after you dont PMO anymore, you get more confidence in my case because you dont carry the shame and have obtained discipline in your life conclusion: its completly worth it and i wish i had done this years ago, its very healthy for the body and mind, glad to be part of this
What type of psychotherapy treatment are you taling about? please explain. And congrats bro for new life
Congrats man!! I completly agree Nofap is like a starting point, a boost to start better urself and life : )
Thanks, well i have a treatment with a psychiatrist that has given me medication for anxiety and depression and at the same time i go to therapy with a psychologist basically to explore my mind and emotions and fix my other issues, this is part of me tackling my problems head starting to know myself for real for the first time
Motivational. I can totally understand you when you say it "opens the doors to your life". Thanks for sharing.
Don't know is it necessary to consult psychiatrist? I don't want to tell anyone about this addiction, i guess following nofap will have same effect sooner or later. Guys do i need to go to psychiatrist?
i have a skin disorder called vitiligo that causes some patches of skin without pigment, i.e white patches, which has generated anxiety, depression and insecurities
Congratulations for your progress! I endorse many points outlined by you, especially how this journey of NoFap opens your eyes to different aspects of life that were stuck, ignored during many years in favor of this addiction. Definitely it's not easy to confront face to face our problems and difficult in life, but the quick escape through porn is a false solution. With goals and values well defined and persistence we can conquer back our self control and confidence, building a path of development and improvement of our forces, skills, personality and all other positive aspects of life. Keep the amazing work and never look back!
