Just after my post of relapsing after 146 PMO abstaining , I slip back in just 13 days ! Need help guys ......... I hope I haven't damaged my reboot process severely . A minor detail : it wasn't porn , nor was it a porn fantasy ..........the image I projected while committing the act , was something out of my imagination. I hope I haven't fallen ridiculously steep down the ladder this time
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
Already fapped again today................is this the chaser effect ? I seem to increasingly view masturbating as harmless rather than avoiding it completely and taking this commitment seriously . But I do not crave porn however . Need some help as to what this might indicate
Merely afraid of losing the perks of abstaining . Other than that though , I haven't experienced the kind of brain fog or loss of self esteem that I used to experience when I had an extreme compulsive habit of masturbating before I even discovered nofap .
While rebooting, you may want change your view of masturbation as one often leads to another. After you have dealt with P, then if you choose to begin M, it's your choice. You may be experiencing the chaser effect. When you indulge, you are reminding your brain what you were really missing thus causing you to want it even more than you originally wanted it. That's chaser effect and the chaser often is worse than the original craving.
Thanks ............it's hard not to view masturbating as a threat since initially porn and masturbation are so intertwined that we fear that our subconscious wouldn't be able to draw the line .
