Crying

I remember when I first cried on my nofap journey.. I just couldn't take relapsing anymore, and I can totally relate to fighting multiple addictions. A few months later I didn't fap for 6 months and completely changed my life... I want to let you know that things get better, it just takes resilience and self responsibility, and the belief that you CAN be better than you are now.

If you Watch some of this guys videos and take action, success I almost garunteed, just commit. Good luck

 

Crying is the best, I wish I could cry more.
Crying is such a release, it's more therapeutic than laughing.

In my opinion the adage that men don't cry is completely backwards. I think that only real men can humble themselves and cry.

 

Yeah mate, sometimes it just all catches up with us. Let it out! This will be a great time to try to sort things, and it'll be difficult but SO rewarding. We are in this together!

 

Thats a good step on your way to freedom. Crying is good for everyone, women and men. Let it all out dude, times will get better!

 

I was thinking about 3rd grade, some disipline mom gave me, cornered in the kitchen. I was there watching it again.

But soon the thought turned to me. I was still there back in 3rd grade, but I went around the corner where little Johnnie could not see me, and I broke down and cryed.

That hurt me more than I realized. I can't really Conjure up the tears whenever. But that time they came suddenly. I don't like to cry. But some say what I need to do is connect with the little guy, grieve with the little guy. Cry together. Little j could only do what he knew to do.

I stopped myself from further connection that day. But the next time I'm there I hope to have a different result. Which includes the release of the tears. No holds barred.

I can't compartmentalize myself. I must merge these seperate self's. There is something little j needs from me, and there is something I need from little j. I don't know the details but I know we must become one again. I must be that whole person.

 

I'm 57... Wish I started recovery years ago. I've been using PMO as a cover. PMO as a coping skill. I used MO early in life, and here as an adult I've been using such a childish way to cope with life. I've never really let go of my proverbial blankie.

At 26, your way ahead of some of us. You got potential to make things better for yourself and can change the course of your life.

I knew as a child I had a problem with M. The radio had a talk show on the subject, "preoccupation with masterbation" and I actually sent for the manuscript of that program. But I didn't take any action. It's only when circumstances at 40 + yrs old that forced me to enter recovery or lose all sense of freedom.

Give yourself to this process. Work the program and get what you need to deal with your issues because Your worth it.

 

I need a good cry every now and again. Doesnt mean I always do it. We all need more emotional release in our lives and emotional connection. Its a huge part of keeping with nofap.

 

There was one time that instead of watching porn and fapping to it I googled some sad images and cried to them, it felt really pure! I wonder why I didn't try that more!

 

I understand where you're coming from. I used to be stable enough to avoid crying and kept everything inside. I still do, but now and then, I weep it out, especially in the last year, because I cannot hold my pain inside any longer. Sometimes it makes me feel good, but sometimes it does not.

 

My mother sometimes told me not to cry, but I think that's BS. Crying is part of the process of coping with pain.

 

I used to cry loads when I was younger at all sorts of things, but these days not much sets me off. I haven't felt that sort of sadness in quite some time really.
