    Nofap will make you feel lonely (be aware of that).

    [​IMG]
    Nofap will bring out all the natural feelings that you used to suppress or numb with PMO/Fapping. It will make you feel lonely as a signal from your psyche to go out and meet people. It will make you crave intimacy so that you go out there and get into an intimate relationship with a girl you like.

    Nofap will make you motivated (some struggle with this because of a prolonged flatline) so that you can get shit done. It will make you more aggressive (the way it supposed to be for a man) to go for the things you want in life (without being a dick).

    It will make you want to socialise so that you become part of an active participant in life instead of sitting on the sidelines of life.

    It will make you confident so that you can go for what you want with boldness.

    It will bring back the feelings of enjoying the "little things" to enjoy life.

    What i said is not exaggerated as i have experienced them all while on Nofap and many others have reported this too.

    So embrace these new emotions which are simply your natural feelings coming out and stick to Nofap because it works.

    Don't count days on NoFap


    I remember when I first started nofap, I was counting the days. Then when I would relapse, I would feel really low and think whether I would ever be able to stop. This was a cycle that happened for over a year, and with every relapse, I would feel even worse and borderline suicidal.

    The only way to ever stop Watching porn and to get rid of this addiction for good is to control the addiction. You need to really dig deep into your life, and know how negatively porn has affected it and why you need to stop. Counting days will only make you even more depressed. You have to remember that addiction is a mind vs body type of thing, and when you’re stressing yourself over benefits etc and how long your abstained, you’re basically torturing your mind, which in affect will cause stress for your body, which could lead to health problems long term.

    Quitting porn is easy once you know how bad it is. You can still go over 200 days and be in the mindset that you just need to go another 50 days or whatever to be healed.

    You need to come to the decision that you won’t ever watch porn again. Think of it as the devil. Think about the relationships it had caused to suffer, and think about other things such as PIED, if you’ve ever had it.

    I’m telling you from experience, don’t think about porn and do other stimulating activities whilst your body is recovering, and slowly but surely your BRAIN will not rationalise how important PORN is.

    Don’t fight the addiction, Control it. If you relapse, don’t be in the mindset that you’ve relapsed. I don’t even like the word relapse. Think of this journey as a journey of self discipline. If you watched porn, prioritise and tell your mind that it is ok. You don’t need to binge but you can if you want to, because at the end of the day, you know how bad it affects your body and mind. But all I am saying is that, you need to make Porn the least important thing in your life. Once you do this, i’m Telling you, you won’t even think about it.

    I’m still going through a flatline, but it’s fine. I know my body’s healing. I don’t have a sex drive yet, but I know through perseverance, that it will come back. Even if you aren’t going through a flatline, if urges do come, why don’t you just try and replace the urge by talking to a female? Through Instagram. At least use the time to try and have sex instead. Rationally, that would be the better option.

    In terms of benefits, I have received many, and I know more will come. Just don’t think about it, take care of your mental health and try to become the best version of yourself!

    You are right we should not count the days
    Infact we should focus on the productivity of the day

    Why are so many of the users failing every day? What are they missing?
    [​IMG]
    It's not news that every day many of us relapse. Even people with higher streaks than 90 days.

    Some even fail at less than 10 days. We know that exercise, cold showers, more sleep, reading, and

    going out helps and we're doing it. But when the scariest moment comes we still get tempted.

    What are we doing wrong?

    "I think I've been fapping and watching too much porn. I'll give this NoFap thing a try, it has so

    many great benefits, maybe I'll even get laid. I don't have anything fun to do anyway". This

    approach WILL. NOT. WORK. While it's a great thing that you've discovered what your problem is,

    you need to be strict about your decision. Or else when the urges come you will just prefer to

    give in to that sweet pleasure and get lost in the porn world, in the wondreland where you can

    travel for hours and hours while forgetting everything about the real world.

    Your decision has to be stronger than ever so that you can remember why it is so important to you

    even when THAT moment comes. You know what moment I'm talking about. It's when even the thought of

    looking at THAT video or THAT pornstar is super exciting. You're SURE that it will feel SO good to

    watch it. You need to realize it's serious. It's your life we're talking about.

    It doesn't matter how many times you'll write here: "Hey guys, I just relapsed, I need your

    support, that's it, I'm changing today". UNTIL you actually mean it. No one is going to do it

    for you. This thread, this subreddit, other users, badges, the FapWar, all this means NOTHING

    unless YOU really know what you're doing and are serious about your goals.

    This is serious. Be strict to yourself. The old version of you is dead now. This is scary and

    exciting at the same time.

    So think hard about the reason(s) why you're doing this. Think about what your life will be after

    5 years if you continue to fap regularly. Don't underestimate the power of porn and horny thoughts

    in your head. They know how to control you. Be rational, be strict, be everything you need to be

    to own yourself. Realize that you're getting old, time is running out, eventually you're going to

    die. Is fapping really what you're going to do in this life that was given to you? What will you

    have to offer to the girl of your dreams even if she was real? How are you going to stand by anyone if you can't stand by yourself?

    You need to be scared enough to realize that the moment to stop finally has come. No more lying to

    yourself. You don't have to fall for the same trick for the millionth time. It's now or never. Get used to the idea that porn is not part of your life anymore. You're a man now. And I have no idea how to format this text.
