THE DUELS OF NOFAP: NO PMO TOURNAMENT | OPEN FOR ALL

This is an uphill climb, the prize is at the top. You're foot may slip and you may stumble. But what ever you do, don't give up! - hickorydoo Keep fighting, learn from it put steps into place to stop that happening again.

 

edging I'd say, intention seems pure though so wouldn't worry at all.

 

Keep fighting, delete whatever app caused you to see that even if you're bored for a while it's better than M. You can do this.

 

good to hear

 

them wrestlers is me against you man, even though I'm brown.

 

I found this really beneficial, it has a lot to do with religion obviously but a lot of good knowledge and help in general I didn't find elsewhere. A series on PM addiction.

 

Firstly I'd like to start by thanking the beast for such a thought provoking question. I think the realistic answer for that would be very complex because it does go down to individual levels and how you are as a person so I can only give my general opinion, from my own experiences.

I've had the habit of doing M for 5 years now and I mentioned before this was a daily habit, one I had to change. When I first joined nofap i actually said

The truth is M addiction didn't affect me then or even make me sad; I was really popular and a lot of girls found me attractive so I wasn't really sad. Between 16-18, I learnt a lot though. It doesn't matter the quantity of friends you have (or even if you have any all as long as you're happy with your own company), but the quality. I isolated myself and was lazy, with a lot of problems starting to build up such as depression. How could a person who believes in God do M and still say he's a righteous person, this was my thinking so what I did was pretty drastic. I stopped everything completely which was bad in terms of my religion, and left the people who encouraged me to keep on doing that and only one thing 'bad' remained and that was my M addiction. At that point I realised for myself happiness and loneliness are two different constructs of my mind, the thing that M does it soothes both of them temporarily with harmful after effects. I reached a low around 2 months ago now, I don't need to say how low but I was miserable, not because of M but because of my actions and lack of actions which M definitely contributes to. I can really say I've improved ridiculous amounts in 2 weeks of noFap, but that is because I don't want there to be any misery. M obscures my mind and clouds my consciousness but to answer the question from all that experience is that fapping does contribute to the misery but not primarily, that's down to lack of self control. Due to the lack of self control, you lose control in a lot of the areas of your life you need it and your life can spiral downhill without you even noticing, so it is all down to your mind to improve your own misery. Would be glad to hear other people's responses on this.

 

progression of normal porn to more hardcore to get a bigger reward is so clear.

 

good to hear keep fighting strong, thinking you vs @DekuHope
