    Feeling urges?

    Take a cold shower: and I mean a bloody cold shower.

    Yesterday I was fighting the urge to watch porn when I decided to take the coldest shower I have ever taken. Water was so cold that I barely stayed under it for 2 minutes, but the great thing was that the shock of the cold instantly erased all thoughts of anything sexual. The body sort of enters a survivor mode when we are hit with extreme circumstances and that becomes the only thing we can think about.

    So afterwards i felt completely refreshed and clear in my head. The urges had said goodbye and I focused on doing something sensible with my time.

    Cold showers man I'm telling you, they are great.

    Yeah there is always that moment of doubt before you step in under the water but you just have to do it.

    It's a great way to wake yourself up but nothing more than that.
    I tried to do cold showers about a year ago (I also completed a "30 day cold shower challenge") and, I still relapsed.
    If you don't have enough willpower to do nofap - it's not gonna work
    if you have enough willpower - you don't need cold showers

    Well from my experience it does work, mostly because as I said: it clears your head (a form of waking up) and then you can realize and focus on NoFap and why you do it instead of falling victim of your urges. That's why cold showers are ALMOST magic, they obviously won't make you addiction-free, but they are a great tool on that journey.

    Only took 2 weeks for me to finally get fully accustomed to cold showers. I took one yesterday and stayed over 10minutes I believe. It's basically like jumping in a pool, you'll be cold for the first couple of minutes but after 15 minutes being in it, you'll feel the water being neutral in temperature. I even let the water stack up and then laid down on the cold water and I felt the water as warm even though I don't even touch the hot water valve at all, 100% cold only.
