I'll keep this short not to waste anyone's time.. Aight, so, after 33 amazing days on Nofap I relapsed and I decided to leave this forum for good. Why am I leaving? because I don't think that this website is doing any good for me. I'm sure that there are wonderful people on this platform with some great advice, I just don't consider myself as an "addict" and therefore I'm cutting out. Thanks for everything and good luck to all of you! -Peace out
No !. You are an addict and this is why you called it "a relapse ". A RELAPSE is going back to the thing that you are addicted to and trying to abstain from . Can you describe your relapse in more details?!..was it porn?!. Please don't leave the forum . This relapse should alert you that you should be more active here instead of leaving. You can't watch porn and not be an addict. This is the very nature of porn .It's like saying I do heroin but I don't consider myself an addict!. And even if you are not an addict..porn is bad for you..or maybe you disagree?!.
dont do it man hang in there it'll destroy your life doesn't matter if ur an addict or do it sometimes just hang on man
I didn't say that I'm going back to porn and masturbation, I'll continue doing Nofap for my own benefits but I just won't be active here. If anyone is wondering about the relapse- I relapsed yesterday night to vanilla porn (I masturbated twice), the orgasm wasn't too intense and there wasn't any change in the way I felt before and afer the relapse. I was still the same happy and energetic guy, I didn't feel any sort of tiredness, anxiety or shame and I didn't experience any "Chaser effect" or "Withdrawal symptoms" in me (something Nofap is known for). I just went to do my thing and that's it. I promised to keep this short, goodbye for the last time.
I understand him. I guess I felt quite similar at the beginning of my journey. Becoming a part of the community also means accepting that you are an addict. This is scary but ultimately I feel it's the solution to recovery and lasting freedom. Just my experience and maybe it's a different one for ChangeSince95.
I get it to a degree... this site can be like porn, Facebook. Twitter and even dating sites. This site replaces those but is addictive all the same and (to a lesser extent) still provides a dopamine rush... IMO
